  • Publication number: 20080009471
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for ocularly delivering a triamcinolone acetonide agent to a subject. In one aspect, for example, a method is provided for treating or preventing an ocular condition in a subject for which triamcinolone acetonide is effective. Such a method may include ocularly administering a triamcinolone acetonide agent to the subject in order to treat or prevent the condition. Although any administration technique is contemplated, in some aspects a triamcinolone acetonide agent may be delivered to eye tissue via ocular iontophoresis.

  • Publication number: 20070260171
    Abstract: The present invention includes methods and devices for delivering an active agent into the eye of a subject. One such device may include an anode assembly having an anode housing and an anode configured to electrically couple to a power source, the anode assembly being configured to contact and remain against a surface of the eye. The device may also include a cathode assembly having a cathode housing and a cathode configured to electrically couple to the power source, the cathode assembly being configured to contact and remain against the surface of the eye. Additionally, the device may include at least one active agent reservoir functionally associated with at least one of the anode assembly and the cathode assembly.

  • Publication number: 20060089590
    Abstract: The present invention includes methods and devices for providing sustained in-vivo release of an active agent to a subject. In some aspects, such release may be achieved by reacting an active agent in-vivo with a depot forming agent in order to form a sustained release active agent depot inside the subject. The depot can then release the active agent over a sustained period of time.
