  • Publication number: 20230056047
    Abstract: A method and system for combination therapy utilizing local drug delivery and radiotherapy at a target site of body tissue are provided. The delivery system comprises a source electrode adapted to be positioned proximate to a target site of internal body tissue. A counter electrode is in electrical communication with the source electrode, and is configured to cooperate with the source electrode to form a localized electric field proximate to the target site. A cargo may be delivered to the target site when exposed to the localized electric field. Radiotherapy is applied to the target site in combination with the local drug delivery.

  • Publication number: 20200046720
    Abstract: Described herein, to overcome the limitations of conventional antibiotics, antibiotics have been encapsulated in biocompatible particles manufactured using Particle Replication In Non-wetting Templates (PRINT). These PRINT antibiotic particles were assessed as a topical agent to prevent E. coli infection using in vitro and in vivo models relevant to UTI and neurogenic bladder. The results show a prolonged efficacy and wide distribution in the bladder, resulting in a prophylactic environment in the bladder. The subject matter described herein is directed to molded particles containing an antibiotic active agent and methods of treating diseases and conditions with the particles, and methods of preparing the particles and compositions comprising the particles.
