Systems and methods for enhanced distribution of a biologic agent within the brain and spinal cord
11541005 · 2023-01-03 · ·

Aspects herein relate to systems and methods for delivery of biologic agents to the central nervous system. In various embodiments, a method of administering a therapeutic agent to the central nervous system (CNS) is included. The method can include injecting a therapeutic agent into a first cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) region of the subject. The method can further include establishing fluid communication between a fluid reservoir and a second cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) region of a subject, the fluid having a hydraulic pressure at or above an intracranial pressure. The method can further include infusing a hyperosmotic fluid systemically. Other embodiments, including kits and systems are also included herein.

PARTICLES FOR MULTI-DOSE DELIVERY

Particles offering multiple doses of an active agent to a subject via a single administration of the active agent to the subject are provided. The particles comprise multiple layers, including two dosing layers each having the active agent and an intervening layer that separates the two dosing layers, and provide a first dose of the active agent from the dosing layer covering the intervening layer upon exposure to an aqueous environment after the particles are administered to the subject, and later a second dose of the active agent from the dosing layer covered by the intervening layer after the intervening layer degrades in the body of the subject. Methods for preparing the particles are also provided. Methods for treating or preventing a disease or disorder in a subject in need thereof with two or more doses of an active agent via a single administration to the subject are further provided.

OLIGONUCLEOTIDES, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS THEREOF

The present disclosure pertains to the recognition that immune responses mediated by CpG oligonucleotides can be affected by the stereochemistry of modified internucleotidic linkages such as phosphorothioates. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to chirally controlled CpG oligonucleotide compositions comprising CpG oligonucleotides comprising multiple modified internucleotidic linkages such as phosphorothioate linkages, wherein the oligonucleotides comprise one or more CpG region motifs having defined stereochemistry patterns of chiral internucleotidic linkages. In some embodiments, CpG oligonucleotides comprising one or more CpG region motifs are capable of agonizing an immune response. In some embodiments, CpG oligonucleotides comprising one or more CpG region motifs are antagonistic. Methods for making and using chirally controlled CpG oligonucleotide compositions are also described. In some embodiments, no immune modulation is desired, and the present disclosure provides methods of identifying chirally controlled oligonucleotide compositions which have decreased immune modulation.
