Publication number: 20240082111Abstract: In some embodiments, a reconstitution or medicinal fluid delivery device includes a transfer engine including two fluidly connected spikes, each configured to pierce a container. A check valve may be disposed between the two spikes to allow unidirectional flow from one container to the other. Physical access to a fluid outlet may be obstructed by a housing until the reconstitution or medicinal fluid delivery device is actuated, whereupon physical access to the fluid outlet is permitted. The reconstitution or medicinal fluid delivery device may be placed on a flat surface and actuated with force applied in a single direction toward the flat surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Takeda Pharmaceutical Company LimitedInventors: Joseph M. Giamo, Thomas Boyajian, Amey Mathakari, Anh Nguyen, Dhairya Kirtikumar Mehta

Patent number: 11904180Abstract: An illuminator for photodynamically diagnosing or treating a surface includes a plurality of panels. The illuminator further includes a plurality of light sources, each mounted to one of the plurality of panels. The plurality of light sources are configured to irradiate the surface with substantially uniform intensity visible light. The illuminator also includes a heat source configured to emit heat to a patient. The heat increases the generation of a photoactivatable agent and thus shortens the time needed to complete photodynamic therapy.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Boyajian, Mark Carota, Brian Mazejka, Michael Leccese

Patent number: 11890440Abstract: An applicator for dispensing a solution having two or more components includes a hollow body having a head provided at one end of the hollow body for dispersion of the solution and a breaking mechanism attached to the hollow body. The breaking mechanism includes at least one projection extendable into an interior of the hollow body. The applicator further includes a plurality of ampoules placed in the interior of the hollow body. The plurality of ampoules contains the two or more components. Upon activation of the breaking mechanism, the at least one projection applies a force to the plurality of ampoules such that the plurality of ampoules break and release the two or more components to form the solution.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Boyajian, Mark Carota

Patent number: 11697028Abstract: An adjustable illuminator for photodynamically diagnosing or treating a surface includes a plurality of first panels and at least one second panel. The plurality of first panels have wider widths and the at least one second panel has a narrower width. The narrower width is less than the wider widths. The illuminator further includes a plurality of light sources, each mounted to one of the plurality of first panels or the at least one second panel and configured to irradiate the surface with substantially uniform intensity visible light. The plurality of first panels and the at least one second panel are rotatably connected. The at least one second panel is connected on each side to one of the plurality of first panels. The second panel acts as a “lighted hinge” to reduce or eliminate optical dead spaces between adjacent panels when the illuminator is bent into a certain configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2022Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: DUSA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.Inventors: Thomas Boyajian, Mark Carota, Brian Mazejka

Publication number: 20230145771Abstract: A method of performing photodynamic therapy is provided. The method includes applying, to the skin of a patient, a topical composition. The topical composition includes 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) hydrochloride, and a vehicle comprising at least one chelating agent to enhance accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in the skin. The method further includes incubating the topical composition, and following incubation, applying, to the skin, heat from a heat source for at least a first time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Thomas BOYAJIAN, Mark CAROTA, Brian MAZEJKA, Pradeep SANGHVI, Scott LUNDAHL, Xiaopin JIN, Brenden B.
