David Priebe has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8278330
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for systemically or locally administering by implantation a beneficial agent to a subject are described, and include, for example, depot gel compositions that can be injected into a desired location and which can provide controlled release of a beneficial agent over a short duration of time. The compositions include a low molecular weight biocompatible polymer, a biocompatible solvent having low water miscibility that forms a viscous gel with the polymer and limits water uptake by the implant, and a beneficial agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 2, 2012
    Assignee: Durect Corporation
    Inventors: Guohua Chen, David Priebe

  • Patent number: 7368126
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for systemically or locally administering a beneficialagent to a subject are described, and include, for example, depot gel compositions that can be injected into a desired location and which can provide controlled release of a beneficial agent over a prolonged duration of time. The compositions include a biocompatible polymer, a biocompatible solvent having low water miscibility that forms a viscous gel with the polymer and limits water uptake by the implant, and a beneficial agent.

  • Publication number: 20050281879
    Abstract: Injectable depot gel compositions and kits that provide an excipient for modulating a release rate and stabilizing beneficial agents are provided. Methods of administering and preparing such systems are also provided. The gel compositions comprise biodegradable, bioerodible polymers and water-immiscible solvents in amounts effective to plasticize the polymers and form gels with the polymers. Suitable excipients include pH modifiers, reducing agents, and antioxidants.
