Patents by Inventor Jane Guo Shiah

Jane Guo Shiah 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: 20130231318
    Abstract: The invention provides biodegradable implants sized for implantation in an ocular region and methods for treating medical conditions of the eye. The implants are formed from a mixture of hydrophilic end and hydrophobic end PLGA, and deliver active agents into an ocular region without a high burst release.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 12, 2013
    Publication date: September 5, 2013
    Applicant: Allergan, Inc.
    Inventors: Jane-Guo Shiah, Rahul Bhagat, Wendy M. Blanda, Thierry Nivaggioli, Lin Peng, David Chou, David A. Weber
  • Patent number: 8512738
    Abstract: Biocompatible intraocular implants include a tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a biodegradable polymer that is effective to facilitate release of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor into the vitreous of an eye for an extended period of time. The therapeutic agents of the implants may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix that is substantially free of a polyvinyl alcohol. The implants can be placed in an eye to treat or reduce the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, such as posterior ocular conditions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8455656
    Abstract: The present invention relates to drug delivery systems comprising ocular implant, which include organic molecules, capable of modulating tyrosine kinase signal transduction in order to regulate, modulate and/or inhibit abnormal cell proliferation, in combination with a polymer, which polymer serves to control, modify, modulate and/or slow the release of the therapeutic component into the environment of the eye in which said composite is placed.
