摘要:
Implantable medical devices and treatment methods are provided, particularly for use in the bladder. The device is configured for retention in the bladder for at least a portion of the drug delivery period and includes at least one biodegradable component such that following a biodegradation at a selected time, the retention function is lost and the device or portions thereof are resorbed and/or excreted. The method may include deploying into the bladder of a patient a device having a device structure housing a drug formulation comprising at a drug; releasing drug from the device structure into the bladder; and then, changing the composition of urine in the bladder, e.g., by altering the pH, to trigger degradation of at least part of the device structure to enable the device structure or parts thereof to be excreted from the bladder.

A composition includes particles including at least about 95 wt % of amphotericin B, wherein the particles have a mass median diameter ranging from about 1.1 μm to about 1.9 μm. Another composition also includes particles including at least about 95 wt % of amphotericin B, wherein at least about 80 wt % of the particles have a geometric diameter ranging from about 1.1 μm to about 1.9 μm. Yet another composition includes particles including amphotericin B, wherein the particles have a mass median diameter less than about 1.9 μm, and wherein the amphotericin B has a crystallinity level of at least about 20%. Unit dosage forms, delivery systems, and methods may involve similar compositions.

摘要:
A stable sustained release theophylline formulation is prepared by incorporating theophylline into a semi-solid matrix comprising polyglycolized glycerides (GELUCIRE® excipient) and a mixture of nucleation enhancers. Theophylline is admixed with molten GELUCIRE to make the sustained release formulation. The nucleation enhancer composition is then incorporated in the admixture to make the sustained release formulation resistant to changes in dissolution upon aging. Orally administrable compositions are prepared by filling gelatin capsules with the formulation. The polyglycolized glycerides (GELUCIRE) and the nucleation enhancer composition also can be used as an excipient system for preparing sustained release pharmaceutical compositions.
