DRUG ELUTING OCULAR IMPLANT WITH INTERNAL PLUG
Disclosed herein are drug delivery devices and methods for the treatment of ocular disorders requiring targeted and controlled administration of a drug to an interior portion of the eye for reduction or prevention of symptoms of the disorder. The devices are capable of controlled release of one or more drugs and may also include structures which allows for treatment of increased intraocular pressure by permitting aqueous humor to flow out of the anterior chamber of the eye through the device.
OPHTHALMIC DRUG SUSTAINED RELEASE FORMULATION AND USES THEREOF
A solid matrix sustained release ophthalmic formulation for topical delivery of a solid ophthalmic drug to the eye, medical devices, drug cores, drug inserts and drug delivery systems comprising the formulation, methods of manufacturing the formulation, medical devices and their methods thereof for delivering the ophthalmic drug for a treatment period provided herein. The formulation disclosed herein is an admixture of an ophthalmic drug, and a combination of a hydrophobic polymer, a hydrophilic polymer and a surfactant, wherein the drug is eluted daily over an extended period of time at therapeutic dose of drug.
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY
The present disclosure provides methods of treating diabetic retinopathy and ocular inflammatory diseases with anti-ceramide antibodies and antibody fragments. Also provided are methods for treating subjects who have previously received treatment for diabetic retinopathy. In some embodiments, the disclosure further provides methods of treating diabetic retinopathy with a single dose of an anti-ceramide antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.
A NEW TREATMENT FOR MEIBOMIAN GLAND DYSFUNCTION
The invention provides compositions and methods for reducing oxygen concentration in the environment of or promoting the expression or function of at least one hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) in one or more dysfunctional meibomian glands (MGs), utilizing a low oxygen mimetic agent capable of promoting the expression or function of at least one HIF and mimicking a low oxygen environment, or a combination thereof, to improve MG functions.
DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR THE DELIVERY OF STEROID TO VITREOUS CHAMBER OF THE EYE
This invention relates to novel implant drug delivery systems for long-acting delivery of mometasone furoate. These compositions are useful for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory conditions of the eye.
DEVICE AND METHODS FOR ISOLATING EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX BODIES
Devices, methods and systems are provided for isolating extracellular matrix bodies. More particularly, this invention discloses devices, methods and systems for isolating extracellular matrix bodies from a biological sample for use in diagnosis and prognosis of a subject. A device may have restriction channels for isolating extracellular matrix bodies and uniform flow channels for precise pressure measurements.
DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS COMPRISING AN INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE LOWERING AGENT, A NEUROTROPHIC AGENT, A C-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE, A NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE RECEPTOR-B, AN APOPTOSIS SIGNALING FRAGMENT INHIBITOR OR A FAS-LIGAND INHIBITOR FOR TREATING GLAUCOMA OR OCULAR HYPERTENSION
This disclosure relates to a drug delivery system comprising an intraocular pressure lowering agent, a neurotrophic agent, such as a CNTF compound, a C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) compound, a Tie-2 agonist, a Natriuretic Peptide Receptor-B (NPR-B) compound, or an apoptosis signaling fragment inhibitor (FAS) or FAS-ligand (FASL) inhibitor, including any combination of these compounds and a sustained delivery component. Methods of treating a glaucoma or related conditions, medicaments, kits, uses and methods of manufacturing are also described.
GRAFT PATCH FOR THE TREATMENT OF MYOPIA AND OPHTHALMIC CONDITIONS
The invention provides a synthetic ophthalmic device comprising a porous polymeric structure; wherein said structure is in the shape of a truncated hemisphere and uses thereof in the treatment of ophthalmic conditions, diseases and syndromes.
BIMATOPROST OCULAR SILICONE INSERTS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The present invention is directed to compositions of bimatoprost, processes of preparing these compositions, devices comprising these compositions, and methods of lowering intraocular pressure.
Poly-Dioxanone Multi-Block Copolymer for Ocular Protein Delivery
Provided herein are poly(ether ester) multi-block copolymers (PEE-MBCP). Also provided herein are injectable delivery systems or pharmaceutical compositions, comprising a PEE-MBCP provided herein, either alone or in combination with a binding protein, such as abicipar. Also provided herein are methods of using these injectable delivery systems or pharmaceutical compositions provided herein for the treatment of ocular disorders.
