Abstract: Residence structures, systems, and related methods are generally provided. Certain embodiments comprise administering (e.g., orally) a residence structure to a subject (e.g., a patient) such that the residence structure is retained at a location internal to the subject for a particular amount of time (e.g., at least about 24 hours) before being released. The residence structure may be, in some cases, a gastric residence structure. In some embodiments, the structures and systems described herein comprise one or more materials configured for high levels of active substances (e.g., a therapeutic agent) loading, high active substance and/or structure stability in acidic environments, mechanical flexibility and strength in an internal orifice (e.g., gastric cavity), easy passage through the GI tract until delivery to at a desired internal orifice (e.g., gastric cavity), and/or rapid dissolution/degradation in a physiological environment (e.g., intestinal environment) and/or in response to a chemical stimulant (e.g., ingestion of a solution that induces rapid dissolution/degradation). In certain embodiments, the structure has a modular design, combining a material configured for controlled release of therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or enhancement agents with a structural material necessary for gastric residence but configured for controlled and/or tunable degradation/dissolution to determine the time at which retention shape integrity is lost and the structure passes out of the gastric cavity. For example, in certain embodiments, the residence structure comprises a first elastic component, a second component configured to release an active substance (e.g., a therapeutic agent), and, optionally, a linker. In some such embodiments, the linker may be configured to degrade such that the residence structure breaks apart and is released from the location internally of the subject after a predetermined amount of time.

Abstract: Compositions and articles comprising omniphobic materials for bio-related and other applications are generally provided. In some embodiments, the compositions and articles described herein may be introduced internally of a subject (e.g., in the esophagus, in the gastrointestinal tract, in the rectum). In some aspects, the compositions and articles comprise a releasable therapeutic agent In some embodiments, the compositions and articles described herein may be configured to have a relatively short retention time at the location internal of the subject (e.g., less than 2 seconds) such as a capsule comprising an omniphobic coating. In alternative embodiments, the compositions and articles described herein may be configured to have relative long retention times at the location internal of the subject (e.g., greater than 10 minutes) and include a mucoadhesive portion as well as an omniphobic portion. Such articles may have an omniphobic portion which resists adhesion and/or fouling (e.g., by foodstuffs and/or other materials present internal of the subject) of the article, such that the mucoadhesive portion maintains adhesion to the location internal of the subject for relatively long retention times. In some such embodiments, the article may be a Janus-type device.

Abstract: Enteric elastomers and related methods are generally provided. In some embodiments, the enteric elastomer is a polymer composite. Certain embodiments comprise a polymer composite in which hydrogen bonds within two carboxyl group-containing polymers cross-link the polymer networks into an elastic and pH-responsive polymer composite. Advantageously, this polymer composite has the capacity of being stable and elastic in an acidic environment such as that of the stomach but can be dissolved in a neutral pH environment such as that of the small and large intestines. In some embodiments, the polymer composites described herein comprise a mixture of two or more polymers with carboxyl functionality such that the two or more polymers form hydrogen bonds. In certain embodiments, the polymer composite has both enteric and elastic properties.

Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure are related to articles for measuring electrical signals internal to a subject, e.g., of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). The articles, in some embodiments, are ingestible and/or implantable. In some embodiments, the articles comprise a substrate comprising a plurality of electrodes, the substrate having a Young's elastic modulus of greater than or equal to 0.01 MPa and less than or equal to 200 MPa. In some such cases, the Young's elastic modulus of the substrate facilitates elastic recoil of the substrate such that at least a portion of the plurality of electrodes contact a surface of a tissue at the location internal to the subject (e.g., the GI tract) and thus facilitate measurement of electrical signals at the location internal to the subject. Other aspects are related to methods of using the articles, for example, to monitor electrical signals from the location internal to the subject.

Abstract: A device configured to be implanted in a subject includes a sensing module, a therapeutic module, and a battery. The sensing module includes at least two of an accelerometer, an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor, and a temperature sensor. The therapeutic module includes a drug reservoir and a reciprocating pump. The battery powers the sensing module and the therapeutic module. The sensing module is configured to detect a biological event in the subject and, upon detection of the biological event, send a signal to the therapeutic module. The therapeutic module is configured to receive the signal from the sensing module and, upon receiving the signal, administer a drug to the subject from the drug reservoir via the pump.

Abstract: A drug delivery device may be configured to delivery an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to a subject via the subject's oral-gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The drug delivery device may be configured to deliver a payload of an API while within the GI tract of the subject. The drug delivery device may include a reservoir, a potential energy source, a plurality of outlets, and a plurality of valves, wherein each outlet has a corresponding valve. The drug delivery device may further include a sensor configured to sense the direction of gravity, and the valves may be selectively opened based on a sensed direction of gravity. Thus, the drug delivery device may dispense a dose of API within the GI tracts of the subject based at least in part on the sensed direction of gravity.
