  • Publication number: 20250152838
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing, an injection assembly at least partially disposed in the housing, a shield, and a drive assembly at least partially disposed in the housing and coupled with the injection assembly and the shield. The shield has an extended position where at least a proximal end thereof extends a distance beyond a proximal end of the housing. The injection assembly includes a needle or cannula having an endpoint. Upon moving the shield axially towards the distal end of the housing a predetermined distance, a retraction profile commences whereby the drive assembly administers a medicament via the injection assembly. A peak resistance force is exerted within approximately the first 12 mm of axial movement of the shield.

  • Patent number: 12290666
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and components are provided to reduce tissue resistive pressure during a subcutaneous drug delivery operation by increasing the size of the injection cavity by partially retracting the drug delivery member after inserting the drug delivery member to a subcutaneous position. The drug delivery devices described herein include a resilient member that interacts between stationary and moveable components of the drug delivery device. The drug delivery device include drives to move the stationary and moveable components relative to one another to insert a drug delivery member to a subcutaneous depth within a patient and to dispense a drug to the injection cavity in the patient. The resilient member is deformed during the operations or is pre-deformed and the stored energy of the resilient member in the deformed state then acts on the stationary and moveable components to partially retract the drug delivery member to relieve pressure in the injection region.

  • Publication number: 20250122494
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of separating molecular species of a guanine-rich oligonucleotide from a mixture of molecular species, wherein at least one molecular species of the mixture is a quadruplex formed from the guanine-rich oligonucleotide. In exemplary embodiments, the methods comprise (a) applying the mixture to a chromatographic matrix comprising a hydrophobic ligand, wherein said hydrophobic ligand comprises C4 to C8 alkyl chains, wherein molecular species bind to the hydrophobic ligand and (b) applying a mobile phase which comprises a gradient of acetate and a gradient of acetonitrile but no cationic ion pairing agent to the chromatographic matrix to elute molecular species of the guanine-rich oligonucleotide. In exemplary aspects, the guamne-rich oligonucleotide elutes in a first set of elution fractions and a quadruplex formed from the guanine-rich oligonucleotide elutes in a second set of elution fractions.
