Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and pharmaceutical compositions for sustained release of anticancer agents. Such pharmaceutical compositions may provide a burst-free, sustained release of one or more anticancer agents and may include a plurality of poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microparticles encapsulating the one or more anticancer agents.

Abstract: A method for making a modified release composition, comprising: selecting a desired active agent and polymer matrix for formulating into a modified release composition; assessing degradation effect on release of the active agent from the composition including plotting polymer molecular weight (Mwr) at onset of active agent release vs. active agent molecular weight (MwA); predicting performance of multiple potential formulations for the composition based on the degradation assessment and average polymer matrix initial molecular weight (Mwo) to define a library of building blocks; determining the optimal ratio of the building blocks to satisfy a specified release profile; and making a modified release composition based on the optimal ratio determination.
