  • Publication number: 20220062400
    Abstract: This invention provides novel injectable compositions comprising botulinum toxin that may be administered to a subject for various therapeutic, aesthetic and/or cosmetic purposes. The injectable compositions embraced by the invention exhibit one or more advantages over conventional botulinum toxin formulations, including reduced antigenicity, a reduced tendency to undergo unwanted localized diffusion following injection, increased duration of clinical efficacy or enhanced potency relative, faster onset of clinical efficacy, and/or improved stability. According to the invention, single treatment of the compositions by injection affords significant clinical responses and at least a 6-month duration of effect in a subject undergoing treatment, as provided by the described treatment methods.

  • Publication number: 20210162026
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, compositions, and kits for treating bladder disorders or conditions, in which botulinum toxin is topically administered to the mucosal inner lining or urothelium of the bladder, of a subject in need thereof, for transmucosal delivery across the urothelium to surrounding bladder wall musculature and/or neuronal tissue. Rather than requiring injection, the toxin instead may be administered by instillation in solution via the urethra. In particular, the botulinum toxin is administered in conjunction with a positively charged or lipophilic carrier comprising a positively charged polymeric backbone or a hydrophobic backbone with covalently attached groups that enhance transmucosal transport across the urothelium and may also stabilize the botulinum toxin in aqueous formulations.
