Publication number: 20190298854Abstract: The present invention concerns drug delivery particles which can prevent interaction between a biologically-active cargo comprised within the particles and components of an aqueous environment in which said particles are present. The particles are sensitive to pH such that above a threshold pH level the biologically-active cargo becomes accessible to the surrounding environment. Such particles are accordingly useful for stably storing a biologically-active cargo in an aqueous composition containing components which would otherwise interact deleteriously with the cargo, and releasing the cargo to mediate a biological effect in the body of an animal, such as a human, to which the composition is administered. Also provided are compositions comprising such particles, as well as methods for making and using such particles and compositions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2017Publication date: October 3, 2019Applicants: GLAXOSMITHKLINE BIOLOGICALS, SA, Liquidia Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Abdelatif A ELOUAHABI, Patrick POHLHAUS, Laurent Bernard Jean STRODIOT, Ashley GALLOWAY, Jin Christiane Lee, Michele R.
