Problems solved by technology

[0005] Implant systems are known to present difficulties in the administration of active agents, especially when the active agent is highly water soluble, and are released in a controlled manner after implantation, but often produce a "burst release" that releases too much active agent effect, which is unwanted

Embodiment 1

[0119] A glass vessel was tared on a Mettler PJ3000 top-loading balance. Weigh poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) 50:50 RESOMER® RG502 (PLGA-502) and place it in a glass container. Tare a glass container containing PLGA-502 and add the corresponding solvent. See Table 1 for the weight percentages of various polymers / solvents used in combination. The polymer / solvent mixture was stirred by hand with a stainless steel square-tipped spatula to obtain a viscous amber paste containing white polymer particles. The vessel containing the polymer / solvent mixture was sealed and placed in an incubator at a constant temperature of 37-39°C. When the polymer / solvent mixture became a clear amber homogeneous gel, it was removed from the incubator. The incubation time interval can be 1-4 days, depending on the type of solvent and polymer and their ratio. Other depot gel carriers were prepared using the following polymers and solvents or mixtures: the polymer was poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) ...

Embodiment 2

[0120] Prepare human growth hormone (hGH) particles (optionally containing zinc acetate) as follows:

[0122] frozen

[0123] The resulting hGH particles have a particle size of 2-100 microns. Example 3

Embodiment 3

[0125] The benefit agent / stearic acid-containing compressed microparticles prepared above were added at 10-20% by weight to the gel carrier and mixed by hand until the dry powder was fully wetted. The creamy yellowish granule / gel mixture was then thoroughly mixed using a Caframo mechanical mixer with a square-tipped metal spatula using conventional mixing methods. The resulting homogeneous gel formulation was transferred to a 3, 10 or 30 cc disposable syringe for storage or dispensing.

[0126] A certain amount of gel for implantation was prepared according to the above method, and the in vitro release test of the beneficial agent was performed as a function of time, and the concentration of the beneficial agent in rat plasma was measured over time to study its release in vivo.

[0127] Such as figure 2 As shown, lysozyme, which does not form a compression mixture with stearic acid or palmitic acid, is released from the gel carrier more rapidly and at a higher rate when...

Abstract

Methods and compositions for reducing the burst of beneficial agent from implantable systems is described. Such systems utilize compressed particulates of a beneficial agent, optionally mixed with a dissolution rate modulator or an agent exhibiting a characteristic of low solubility in water, such as a mixture of stearic acid and palmitic acid, dispersed throughout a bioerodible and biocompatible carrier.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to implant compositions for the controlled release of beneficial agents. In particular, the present invention relates to a combination of a carrier such as a gel and a benefit agent, wherein the aqueous microenvironment and gel bulk properties associated with the benefit agent modulate the interaction or Solubility. The invention also relates to methods of preparing said compositions. [0003] Related technical description [0004] Numerous systems exist to deliver drugs and other beneficial agents from implanted polymer matrices. For example, representative patents related to this system include: US 5,085,866 describes an intraoral implant system. US5,019,400 describes controlled-release microsphere formulations; US4,938,763 and its division US5,278,201 describe biodegradable solid implants that can be formed in situ; US5,599,552 describes thermoplastic and thermosetting polym...
