The present disclosure presents hydrogel compositions for use in the treatment of an ocular disorder (e.g., a retinal disease) and methods of treating an ocular disorder in a subject in need thereof with the hydrogel compositions. The hydrogel compositions can include hydroxyphenylpropionic acid (gelatin-HPA), hyaluronic acid-tyramine (HA-Tyr), a catalyzer (e.g., horseradish peroxidase (HRP)), a cell, a crosslinker (e.g., hydrogen peroxide), or any combination thereof. The methods include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition into an eye of the subject, wherein the composition includes any of the hydrogel compositions of the disclosure.

The present invention provides a drug composition comprising particles comprising a biodegradable or bioerodable polymer and a drug, a soluble, biodegradable or bioerodible excipient, a bulking agent and a reconstitution aid. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical formulation and a unit dosage form of the pharmaceutical formulation. The invention provides methods of treatment of a disease or condition accordingly. The invention also provides a drug composition for use in a cannulation device.

A method for prohibiting and/or treating an eye condition is provided. The method comprises inserting an implantable device into a suprachoroidal space of a patient. The device comprises a core defining an outer peripheral surface. The core comprises a core polymer matrix within which is dispersed a therapeutic agent, the polymer matrix containing an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.

The present invention provides a method of treating an ocular condition in an eye of a patient, comprising the step of placing a biodegradable intraocular implant in an eye of the patient, the implant comprising a prostamide and a biodegradable polymer matrix that releases drug at a rate effective to sustain release of an amount of the prostamide from the implant to provide an amount of the prostamide effective to prevent or reduce a symptom of an ocular condition of the eye, wherein said ocular condition is elevated IOP and said implant is placed in an intracameral location to dilate the outflow channels of the eye emanating from Schlemm's Canal.

Object of the present invention is a drug delivery system comprising a decellularized corneal stroma scaffold having dispersed within and/or bound to its surface microparticles containing at least one pharmaceutically active molecule dispersed in a matrix having a composition consisting for at least 70% of polylactic co-glycolic acid (PLGA).

Described are implantable devices having reservoirs for the sustained release of therapeutic agents. The devices are configured to be at least partially implanted in an eye and include a retention structure and a penetrable element coupled to and extending within at least a portion of the proximal end region of the device. The device includes a porous drug release element is positioned in fluid communication with an outlet of the device and a reservoir having a volume configured to contain one or more therapeutic agents in fluid communication with the outlet through the porous drug release element. The device is at least partially inserted along an axis of insertion.

The disclosure features pharmaceutical compositions formed from prodrug dimers for the extended delivery of a drug and for the treatment of a disease or condition.

Polymeric compositions are provided that include a poly(ethylene glycol), a viscoelastic polymer, and an antioxidant, where, in polymerized form, the compositions have a refractive index of about 1.30 to about 1.40. Methods of synthesizing the compositions are also provided and include the steps of heating an amount of water; adding a buffering agent to the water to form a buffer solution; mixing a poly(ethylene glycol) and a viscoelastic polymer into the buffer solution to form a reactive mixture; adding a plurality of antioxidant particles to the reactive mixture; and removing suspended gas bubbles from the reactive mixture. Methods of preventing oxidative damage to an eye lens of a subject are further provided and include administering the foregoing polymeric compositions to the eye lens of the subject.

The present invention relates to an ocular composition comprising a) at least 0.1% w/w of a therapeutic agent; b) 5 to 95% w/w of a photopolymerizable composition comprising 3 to 70% w/w of one or more compounds of formula I: (I) wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or a linear or branched C.sub.1-C.sub.3 alkyl; R.sub.2 is an acrylate or methacrylate group; n is 2 or 3 and m is equal or greater than 1, the weight percentage of the one or more compounds of formula I being based on the total weight of the photopolymerizable composition; c) 0.1 to 40% w/w of a biodegradable polymer selected from the group consisting of lactide/glycolide copolymer (including poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)), poly (L-lactide) (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates, including polyhydroxybutyrate, polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), poly (DL-lactide) (PDL), poly (D-lactide), lactide/caprolactone copolymer,

Provided herein are in vivo gelling ophthalmic pre-formulations forming a biocompatible retinal patch comprising at least one nucleophilic compound or monomer unit, at least one electrophilic compound or monomer unit, and optionally a therapeutic agent and/or viscosity enhancer. In some embodiments, the retinal patch at least partially adheres to the site of a retinal tear. Also provided herein are methods of treating retinal detachment by delivering an in vivo gelling ophthalmic pre-formulation to the site of a retinal tear in human eye, wherein the in vivo gelling ophthalmic pre-formulation forms a retinal patch.
