Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for use in treating hyperhidrosis.

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for in situ payload delivery via a degradable microneedle. In some aspects, a microneedle therapeutic payload delivery device includes a substrate; an activation particle; and one or more degradable microneedle structures coupled to the substrate and including a polymeric matrix structured to embed the activation microparticle and one or more therapeutic payloads, the one or more degradable microneedle structures each including an exterior wall spanning outward from a base surface and forming an apex at a terminus point of the exterior wall, wherein the polymeric matrix of a microneedle structure of the one or more degradable microneedle structures is degradable under an environmental parameter of a biofluid surrounding the microneedle structure to dissolve and allow the one or more therapeutic payloads and the activation particle to the surrounding biofluid.

The present disclosure provides a sustained formulation for prevention or treatment of autoimmune disease, comprising microparticles comprising naltrexone or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and biodegradable polymers, and a method using the same. Accordingly, it may be used to prevent or treat autoimmune diseases for a prolonged period of time with a single administration.

The present disclosure relates to the treatment of multiple myeloma. Monoclonal antibody MOR202 is efficacious when administered to patient at certain dosage regimens.

A porphyrin compound of Formula III ##STR00001## and composition made therefrom comprising a therapeutically effective dose of a porphyrin bound via a linker to an anti-cancer agent useful in treating cancer in a patient in need thereof or to treat cancer cells in-vitro. The compounds and compositions may be delivered by a drug delivery device as disclosed here and be part of a kit.

A bioconjugate comprising at least one neuropeptide covalently bond to at least one hydrocarbon compound of squalene structure.

Provided herein are fluid formulations for administration to a suprachoroidal space of an eye of a patient. The fluid formulations may include a pharmaceutical agent, a binding molecule, or a combination thereof. The pharmaceutical agent and the binding molecule may be bonded to each other covalently, non-covalently, or a combination thereof. The pharmaceutical agent may be configured to bond to an ocular tissue. The binding molecule may be configured to bond to an ocular tissue. Methods of administering the fluid formulations, methods of expanding a suprachoroidal space, and methods of reducing the minimum force to separate the sclera and choroid are provided.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a patch of dissolving microneedles loaded with active ingredients to be applied to skin for treating skin conditions is provided. As seen in FIG. 1, the dissolving microneedle patch (10) comprises a substrate (12) and a plurality of microneedles (14) which extends from the substrate. The dissolving microneedle patch (10) is made of a matrix material and at least one active ingredient such as a corticosteroid, namely triamcinolone (TAC). The matrix material is made of bio-compatible materials such as hyaluronic acid (HA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), or mixture of them, which dissolve rapidly when they are in contact with the inner skin. The active ingredient is loaded onto individual patches with the desirable dosage ranging from 0.01 mg-1.0 mg.

The present invention provides a solution to increase the drug loading capacity and drug delivery precision of dissolving microneedles. These solutions include: (a) increasing the base of the microneedle cavities without substantially changing the microneedle's height and geometry, (b) use of drug suspension and (c) a specific centrifugation order for filling drug and matrix material. In the first preferred embodiment, a microneedle master mould comprising a plurality of microneedles, wherein each of the microneedles further comprising a chamfered base which extends to and adjoins with its neighboring chamfered bases is provided. In the second preferred embodiment, a method of making dissolving microneedles is provided, comprising (a) providing a microneedle template comprising a plurality of microneedle cavities, wherein each of the microneedle cavities further comprising a chamfered base which extends to and adjoins with its neighboring chamfered bases; (b) dispensing a drug suspension in the substrate cavity on the microneedle template; (c) centrifuging the microneedle template which is loaded with a drug suspension, (d) dispensing a matrix material solution in the substrate cavity on the microneedle template; (d) centrifuging the microneedle template loaded with the drug suspension and the matrix material solution; and (e) drying the centrifuged microneedle template in a controlled environment.

The present invention provides a method for treating a skin neoplasm in a subject, comprising administering to the subject's skin a composition comprising an effective amount of one or more antineoplastic agents, wherein the composition is administered with a microneedle delivery device.
