Patent number: 11925790Abstract: Processes and devices provide parenteral delivery of therapeutic fluids, in particular high-viscosity therapeutic fluids (e.g., protein therapeutics), by a chemical reaction that generates a gas. A device may include a first actuation chamber containing a first reagent, a second reaction chamber containing a second reagent, and a third therapeutic fluid chamber containing the therapeutic fluid. In a loaded configuration, a plunger separates the first chamber from the second chamber. In a delivery configuration, the plunger allows the first reagent from the first chamber to communicate and react with the second reagent from the second chamber. The generated gas acts upon a plunger to deliver the therapeutic fluid from the third chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2018Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: William Godwin Atterbury, Corrie Jo Bennison, Robert Jonathan Cain, Michael Funk Chiappetta, Jeffrey Leclair Ellis, David Arthur Holley, Mark Lafever, Beverly Ann Piatt, John Paul Tallarico

Publication number: 20240009403Abstract: A therapeutic agent delivery system includes a therapeutic agent delivery assembly carried by a housing. The therapeutic agent delivery assembly includes a chamber including a passageway, a therapeutic agent carried in the passageway, and a needle in communication with the passageway. The therapeutic agent delivery assembly is translatable relative to the housing from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration, and from the deployed configuration to a retracted configuration. The system further includes a user input configured to be actuated by a user, and actuation of the user input translates the therapeutic agent delivery assembly from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration. The system further includes a retraction mechanism that translates the therapeutic agent delivery assembly from the deployed configuration to the retracted configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: William Godwin ATTERBURY, Corrie Jo BENNISON, Yelena N. DAVIS, David Arthur HOLLEY, John Paul TALLARICO, Jessica Diane YOUNG

Publication number: 20230398299Abstract: A therapeutic agent delivery system includes a therapeutic agent delivery assembly carried by a housing. The therapeutic agent delivery assembly includes a chamber including a first passageway, a therapeutic agent carried in the first passageway, and a needle in communication with the first passageway. The therapeutic agent delivery assembly is translatable relative to the housing from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration the needle at least partially extends distally from the distal end portion of the housing. The therapeutic agent delivery assembly is translatable relative to the housing from the deployed configuration to a retracted configuration. In the retracted configuration the needle is disposed proximally relative to the distal end portion of the housing. A drive mechanism translates the therapeutic agent delivery assembly from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration and from the deployed configuration to the retracted configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2021Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: William Godwin ATTERBURY, Timothy Mark BLUM, Yelena N.

Publication number: 20220211945Abstract: An automatic injection device is provided, where the device includes a syringe carrier and a retraction assembly. The syringe carrier may include two identical parts that are discrete from one another and interlock with one another. Carrier includes a cushion to support the syringe. Protrusions may be provided on cushion to further support syringe. The retraction assembly includes a shuttle and a follower, the follower having a moveable latch. The follower has a coupled configuration in which the latch is biasedly coupled to the shuttle, and a decoupled configuration in which the latch is in sliding engagement with a curvilinear surface of the shuttle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2022Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventors: William Godwin ATTERBURY, Joseph Daniel DENNIS, JR., Brian Charles KELLEY, Mark LAFEVER, Steven Michael MADLAND, Andrew Thomas SNOW, Jessica Diane YOUNG

The therapeutic agent delivery assembly comprises a chamber having a passageway. A therapeutic agent is carried in the passageway, and a needle is in communication with the passageway. The therapeutic agent delivery assembly may be translatable relative to the housing from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration. Actuation of a user input may translate the therapeutic agent delivery assembly from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration. An input restraint may be rotatable relative to the housing from a first rotational configuration to a second rotational configuration. In the first rotational configuration the input restraint may inhibit actuation of the user input, and in the second rotational configuration the input restraint may permit actuation of the user input.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2019Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: William Godwin ATTERBURY, Corrie Jo BENNISON, Jeffrey LeClair ELLIS, David Arthur HOLLEY, Beverly Ann PIATT, John Paul TALLARICO

Publication number: 20210361880Abstract: A therapeutic agent delivery system (10) includes a housing (16) and a drive wheel (38) rotatably carried by the housing. A plunger rod (50) may be rotatable with the drive wheel relative to the housing from a first rotational configuration to a second rotational configuration. The plunger rod may be translatable relative to the housing from a first translational configuration to a second translational configuration. A plunger restraint (58) may maintain the plunger rod in the first translational configuration when the plunger rod is disposed in the first rotational configuration. The plunger restraint may permit the plunger rod to translate to the second translational configuration when the plunger rod is disposed in the second rotational configuration. A needle may move from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration by the plunger rod when the plunger rod moves from the first translational configuration to the second translational configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2019Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: William Godwin ATTERBURY, Corrie Jo BENNISON, Jeffrey Richard HELD, David Arthur HOLLEY, Noah John Scott LEMIRE, Beverly Anne PIATT, John Paul TALLARICO

Publication number: 20190167909Abstract: A medication injector apparatus such as an injection pen. The injection pen includes a resettable, cartridge plunger drive assembly including an axially floating nut, a cartridge plunger engaging screw, and a drive clutch movable with the nut and which when rotated causes the screw to screw through the nut. When a cartridge assembly is mounted to the pen base, the floating nut and drive clutch are shifted proximally such that the drive clutch is in torque transmitting engagement with a rotatable drive member of the pen, such that rotation of that drive member results in drive screw advancement through the nut in the distal direction. When the cartridge assembly is not mounted to the pen base, the floating nut and drive clutch are biased distally to disengage the drive clutch from torque transmitting engagement with the rotatable drive member and to thereby allow the drive screw to be reset proximally through the nut to a position more retracted within the pen base.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2019Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: William Godwin Atterbury, Mark Gerard Diller, Peter Andrew Gaydos, Shannon Marie-Lynn Hoste, Bobby Lee Walters, Steven Michael Madland, Douglas Edward Boyd
