Publication number: 20050256499Abstract: A method of delivery of a substance to a human subject's skin comprising deposition into a specific compartment of the skin, wherein the delivery occurs at a controlled rate and pressure. The methods of the invention provide accurate deposition of s pre-selected volume of the substance, e.g., greater than 90% of the pre-selected volume. The methods of the invention encompass varying one or more parameters including but not limited to configurations of the delivery device, volume, pressure, and flow rate of delivery, to enhance the efficacy of delivery of the substance to the human skin. Substances delivered in accordance with the methods of the invention result in a more efficacious deposition of the substance into the targeted compartment, improved delivery performance, i.e.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2005Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Ronald Pettis, Diane Sutter, Richard Clarke

Publication number: 20050256182Abstract: The present invention relates to novel anti-pain formulations and methods of their delivery. Anti-pain agents delivered in accordance with the methods of the invention have an improved clinical utility and therapeutic efficacy relative to other drug delivery methods, including oral, intramuscular and subcutaneous delivery. The methods of the present invention provide benefits and improvements over conventional drug delivery methods including dose sparing, increased drug efficacy, reduced side effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2005Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Diane Sutter, Scott Kaestner, Ronald Pettis

Publication number: 20050245594Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for delivery of therapeutically and/or prophylactically effective amounts of agents for management of pain, particularly anti-migraine agents, more particularly triptan compounds, by depositing the agent into the intradermal or junctional compartment of a subject's skin. Agents delivered in accordance with the methods of the invention have an improved clinical utility and therapeutic efficacy relative to other drug delivery methods, including intraperitoneal, intramuscular and subcutaneous delivery. The methods of the present invention provide benefits and improvements over conventional drug delivery methods including dose sparing, increased drug efficacy, reduced side effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2005Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventors: Diane Sutter, Scott Kaestner, Ronald Pettis

Publication number: 20050163711Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for delivering one or more biologically active agents, particularly a diagnostic agent to the intradermal compartment of a subject's skin. The present invention provides an improved method of delivery of biologically active agents in that it provides among other benefits, rapid uptake into the local lymphatics, improved targeting to a particular tissue, improved bioavailability, improved tissue bioavailability, improved tissue specific kinetics, improved deposition of a pre-selected volume of the agent to be administered, and rapid biological and pharmacodynamics and biological and pharmacokinetics. This invention provides methods for rapid transport of agents through lymphatic vasculature accessed by intradermal delivery of the agent. Methods of the invention are particularly useful for delivery of diagnostic agents.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Inventors: Colleen Nycz, Glenn Vonk, John Brittingham, Ronald Pettis, Alfred Harvey, Robert Campbell, John Mikszta, Diane Sutter
