Abstract: The invention discloses a pharmaceutical composition for the controlled release of relatively toxic active compounds, in particular for bioactive proteins from the class of interferons. The composition comprises a biodegradable block copolymer constructed from poly(ethylene glycol) terephthalate (PEGT) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT). The composition is provided in the form of injectable microparticles, of an injectable liquid which may have self-gelling properties, or of a solid implant. The invention further provides a pharmaceutical kit comprising the composition, methods for preparing the composition, and the pharmaceutical uses relating thereto.

Abstract: The invention relates to a poly(ether ester) multiblock copolymer material based on a combination of a poly(alkylene glycol) component, a short chain diol, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or derivative thereof and at least one type of non-aromatic dicarboxylic acid or derivative thereof. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of the polymeric material, a medical device comprising said polymeric material and the use of the medical device for the preparation of a medicament for guided tissue regeneration, as a scaffold for engineering tissue in vitro, or as a matrix for controlled release of a (bio)active substance.
