摘要:
Biocompatible intraocular drug delivery systems include a anti-angiogenic macromolecular therapeutic agent and a polymeric component in the form of an implant, a microparticle, a plurality of implants or microparticles, and combinations thereof. The therapeutic agent is released in a biologically active form, for example, the therapeutic agent may retain its three dimensional structure when released into an eye of a patient, or the therapeutic agent may have an altered three dimensional structure but retain its therapeutic activity. The therapeutic agent contains a component selected from the group consisting of anti-angiogenesis peptides and nucleic acid agents. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat or reduce the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, such as retinal damage, including glaucoma and proliferative vitreoretinopathy among others.
摘要:
Biocompatible intraocular implants include a tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a biodegradable polymer that is effective to facilitate release of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor into the vitreous of an eye for an extended period of time. The therapeutic agents of the implants may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix that is substantially free of a polyvinyl alcohol. The implants can be placed in an eye to treat or reduce the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, such as posterior ocular conditions.
摘要:
Biocompatible intraocular drug delivery systems include a non-neurotoxic macromolecule therapeutic agent and a polymeric component in the form of an implant, a microparticle, a plurality of implants or microparticles, and combinations thereof. The macromolecule therapeutic agent is released in a biologically active form, for example, the therapeutic agent may retain its three dimensional structure when released into an eye of a patient, or the therapeutic agent may have an altered three dimensional structure but retain its therapeutic activity. The therapeutic agent may be selected from the group consisting of anti-angiogenesis agents, ocular hemorrhage treatment agents, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, growth factor inhibitors (such as VEGF inhibitors), growth factors, cytokines, antibodies, oligonucleotide aptamers, siRNA molecules and antibiotics. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat or reduce the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, such as retinal damage, including glaucoma and proliferative vitreoretinopathy among others.

摘要:
Ophthalmically therapeutic materials, such as liquid-containing compositions and polymeric drug delivery systems, include a therapeutic component that includes an Glucocorticoid Derivative which, upon delivery to the posterior segment of a mammalian eye, does not significantly diffuse to the anterior segment of said eye. Methods of making and using the present materials are also described.
