Publication number: 20230270677Abstract: The present disclosure describes simple, stable, and scalable antiviral therapeutic agent compositions that transform short-acting antiviral (e.g., anti-HIV) therapeutic agents that would otherwise require daily short-acting oral administration into long-acting injectable forms that lasts for many weeks per administration. A mixture of water-soluble and water-insoluble antiviral therapeutic agents can be present in the long-acting and drug-combination composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2021Publication date: August 31, 2023Applicant: University of WashingtonInventor: Rodney J.Y.

Patent number: 11730903Abstract: A compound delivery device for delivering a plume derived from a propellant and a drug formulation. The drug formulation is in an intranasal dosage form in the form of powder, suspension, dispersion or liquid. The propelled intranasal dosage form is deposited within the olfactory region of the nasal cavity. The drug deposited within the olfactory region is delivered to the brain avoiding the blood-brain-barrier. Hydrofluoroalkane propellant from a pressurized canister is channeled to a diffuser and drug-containing chamber where the intra-nasal dosage form is aerosolized. The aerosolized intra-nasal dosage form passes through a nozzle thus delivering a plume to the olfactory region of a user's nasal cavity.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Impel Pharmaceuticals Inc.Inventors: John D. Hoekman, Michael Hite, Alan Brunelle, Joel Relethford, Rodney J. Y. Ho

COMPOSITION AND METHOD TO PREPARE LONG-ACTING INJECTABLE SUSPENSION CONTAINING MULTIPLE CANCER DRUGS
Publication number: 20230113802Abstract: The present disclosure describes an injectable aqueous dispersion, including an aqueous solvent, and a chemotherapeutic agent composition dispersed in the aqueous solvent to provide the injectable aqueous dispersion. The chemotherapeutic agent composition includes a combination of chemotherapeutic agents selected from: gemcitabine and paclitaxel; and venetoclax and zanubrutinib. The chemotherapeutic agent composition further includes one or more compatibilizers comprising a lipid (e.g., a lipid excipient), a lipid conjugate, or a combination thereof. The chemotherapeutic agents of the chemotherapeutic agent composition exhibit a synergistic chemotherapeutic effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2021Publication date: April 13, 2023Applicant: University of WashingtonInventors: Rodney J.Y. Ho, James Griffin, Qingxin Mu, Yan Wu, Jesse Yu -
Publication number: 20220096503Abstract: Described herein are combination pharmaceutical compositions including a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic therapeutic agents (i.e., drugs) that are assembled together with excipients under specific conditions, forming a homogeneous pharmaceutical powder with unified repetitive multi-drug motif (MDM) structure. Unlike currently available drug combination powders, which are amorphous, the combination pharmaceutical compositions (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: University of WashingtonInventors: Rodney J.Y.
