  • Publication number: 20050180952
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for delivering one or more biologically active agents, particularly therapeutic agents, to the intradermal compartment of a subject's skin. The present invention provides an improved method of delivery of biologically active agents, such as therapeutic agents, through lymphatic vasculature accessed by intradermal delivery. Therapeutic agents to be delivered in accordance with the present invention include, but are not limited to, antineoplastic agents, chemotherapeutic agents, antibodies, antibiotics, anti-angiogenesis agents, anti-inflammatory agents, and immunotherapeutic agents. Therapeutic agents delivered in accordance with the present invention have improved bioavailability, including improved systemic distribution and improved delivery to particular tissues.

  • Publication number: 20050163711
    Abstract: 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.
