  • Publication number: 20260174681
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are drug delivery implants configured to be implanted into the eye of a subject and serve as intraocular drug depots. The implants reside in an intraocular target site until activation, at which time the implants release the drug (or drugs) housed within the implant in a controlled release fashion. The drug delivery implant can include an outer shell, a stabilized travoprost formulation positioned within an inner chamber of the outer shell, and an elution rate-controlling membrane such as ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer membrane. The stabilized travoprost formulation can include travoprost and an effective amount of at least one antioxidant. The elution rate-controlling membrane can be in operable contact with the stabilized travoprost formulation and can deliver a therapeutically effective amount of the travoprost from the inner chamber to an ocular space including anterior and posterior chambers.

  • Publication number: 20240165017
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions that enable sustained release of a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, such as axitinib from a bioerodible polyester polymer implant for the treatment of disease. The composition is especially suitable for treating ophthalmic indications, such as neovascular age related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema, by intravitreal injection of the implant. The implant is designed to be pre-loaded into a small diameter needle and injected via self-sealing scleral needle penetration at the pars plana. Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors may be released from the implants over a period of one week to three years.
