Abstract: The disclosure features pharmaceutical compositions formed from prodrug dimers for the extended delivery of a drug and for the treatment of a disease or condition.

Abstract: The disclosure features surface coatings formed from dimeric steroid prodrugs for the extended delivery of a drug from a surface, and for the treatment of a disease or condition. Also provided herein are drug depots formed from dimeric steroid prodrugs for the extended delivery of a drug for use in combination with implantable medical devices. Said dimeric steroid prodrugs are represented by the formula D1-L-D2, wherein D1 and D2 are independently a steroid radical and L is a linker covalently linking D1 to D2.

Abstract: Provided herein are (e.g., controlled release) compositions for the treatment of acute or chronic diseases or disorders. Described herein are processable opioid conjugates. Also described herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases or disorders including chronic pain (e.g., cancer pain), acute pain, opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, alcohol dependence, opioid-induced constipation, and narcotic depression. Said compositions and methods comprise opioid agonists and/or opioid antagonists, which demonstrate CNS activity and/or other desirable activities.

Abstract: Described herein are processable compositions comprising at least one moiety that is processable in its free form. Also described herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of ocular diseases or disorders including glaucoma, blepharitis, ocular inflammation, diabetic macular edema, posterior inflammation, anterior inflammation, macular degeneration (e.g., wet macular degeneration (AMD) or dry AMD), post-cataract surgery, and retinal vein occlusion. Said compositions and methods comprise steroids and prostaglandins which demonstrate anti-inflammatory activity, intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering, and/or other desirable activities. Injection of said compositions in the eye provides therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from ocular disorders.
