Patents by Inventor Gunjan Junnarkar

Gunjan Junnarkar 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).

  • Publication number: 20090087408
    Abstract: The present invention provides a suspension vehicle and suspension formulations deliverable from an implantable delivery device. In particular, the suspension vehicle of the present invention allows the formulation of beneficial agent suspensions that are stable over time at ambient and physiological temperatures. In addition, the beneficial agent suspensions formed using the suspension vehicle of the present invention allow controlled delivery of beneficial agent from an implanted delivery device over sustained periods of time, even when such delivery occurs at low flow rates, through a small-diameter delivery channel. Also included in the present invention are implantable delivery devices.

  • Publication number: 20080112994
    Abstract: A suspension formulation for therapeutic use includes a non-aqueous, hydrophobic vehicle exhibiting viscous fluid characteristics, a dry particle formulation comprising a biomolecule dispersed in the vehicle, and a surfactant incorporated in at least one of the vehicle and dry particle formulation. A dry particle formulation includes an interferon, a buffer, a surfactant, and one or more stabilizers selected from the group consisting of a carbohydrate, an antioxidant, and an amino acid.
