  • Publication number: 20140322295
    Abstract: Biocompatible intraocular implants include a steroid and an auxiliary agent, where the auxiliary agent is present in an amount sufficient to lessen the severity of at least one side effect compared to the use of an otherwise identical implant lacking said auxiliary agent. The steroid and the auxiliary agent may be present on the same intraocular implant or on different implants. The steroid and auxiliary agent may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. Or, the steroid may be associated with a polymeric coating having one or more openings effective to permit the steroid to be released into an external environment. The implants containing the steroid and an auxiliary agent may be placed in an eye to treat one or more ocular conditions while reducing the side effects otherwise accompanying steroid use.

  • Publication number: 20140031298
    Abstract: Compositions, and methods of using such compositions, useful for injection into the posterior segments of human or animal eyes are provided. Such compositions include small particles of a poorly soluble therapeutic agent that facilitates formation of concentrated regions of the therapeutic agent in the retinal pigmented epithelium of an eye. The particles are formed by combining a therapeutic agent with an ophthalmically acceptable polymer component. The particles have sizes less than about 3000 nanometers, and in some cases, less than about 200 nanometers. One example of a composition includes particles of triamcinolone acetonide and hyaluronic acid have a size less than about 3000 nanometers.

  • Patent number: 8501187
    Abstract: Biodegradable neurotoxin implants and methods of making and using such implants are provided. Biodegradable neurotoxin implants include a neurotoxin, a biodegradable polymer component, and an acidity regulating component. The biodegradable polymer component is effective in controlling the release of the neurotoxin from the implant when the implant is located in a patient's body. The acidity regulating component is effective in maintaining a pH of the implant in a desired range that may be effective in stabilizing the neurotoxin as the implant biodegrades when the implant is located in a patient's body. In one embodiment, an implant includes a botulinum toxin, a biodegradable polymer, and either monomers from which a biodegradable polymer is derived or oligomers including monomeric units substantially identical to a monomer from which a biodegradable polymer is derived, or a combination of such monomers and oligomers. The oligomers and biodegradable polymer may be derived from a single type of monomer.
