  • Publication number: 20030173695
    Abstract: A fabrication method to rapidly fabricate different prototypes of drug delivery systems, medical devices, pharmaceutical dosage forms, tissue scaffolds or other bioaffecting agents in small batches or individual forms using a computer-guided system to vary the composition and structure in order to optimize the product and the manufacturing process. The process is immediately scalable. An Expert System can be used with the method to recommend different compositions and designs of the prototypes, devices, dosage forms, tissue scaffold or other bioaffecting agents.

    Publication date: September 18, 2003
    Applicant: Therics, Inc.
    Inventors: Donald C. Monkhouse, Sandeep Kumar, Charles W. Rowe, Jaedeok Yoo
  • Publication number: 20030133975
    Abstract: A rapidly dispersing dosage form is described, which releases its active ingredients within a period of less than about ninety seconds. These dosage forms exhibit a three-dimensional shape that is retained for adequate storage but is readily dispersed in the presence of excess moisture. Also disclosed are methods of administration of a medicament and a process for the preparation of rapidly dispersing dosage forms.

  • Publication number: 20030065400
    Abstract: An engineered regenerative biostructure (erb) for implantation into a human body as a bone substitute, which includes an internal microstructure, mesostructure and/or macrostructure to provide improved bone in-growth, and methods for making the erb. Under one aspect of the invention, the biostructure has resorbable and nonresorbable regions. Under another aspect of the invention, the biostructure is constructed of hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate and/or demineralized bone. Under yet another aspect of the invention, the porous biostructure is partially or fully infused with a resorbable, nonresorbable or dissolvable material.

  • Publication number: 20020015728
    Abstract: A drug delivery device such as an oral dosage form (ODF) with a toxic or potent core encapsulated by a non-toxic region. The non-toxic region may be a region including multiple layers, coatings, shells, and combinations thereof, which provides protection to and isolation from the toxic or potent core. The drug in the toxic or potent core is incorporated into the dosage form via, for example, three-dimensional printing, as a solution, solubilization or suspension of solid particles in liquid, rather than by the more conventional handling and compressing of dry powder. This minimizes the likelihood of creating airborne particles of the toxic drug during manufacturing, hence controlling and minimizing the exposure of manufacturing personnel to the hazardous substance. Wet dispensing of the toxic or potent drug further provides greater bioavailability of the drug to the patient.
