| 20080206321 | Oral drug delivery system - Dosage forms and drug delivery devices suitable for administration of pharmaceutical compounds and compositions, including the oral drug administration of compounds. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090004272 | Polymeric devices for controlled release of active agents - Polymeric devices for controlled release of an active agent of interest are provided. The active agent is provided within a biodegradable polymer system to supply a polymeric device for controlled release of the active agent. The polymer system is a copolymer or a polymer blend comprising a hydrophobic component and a hydrophilic component, and the polymer system does not form a hydrogel when contacted with, or immersed in an aqueous system, for example when the device is implanted in a subject. When the device is administered to a subject, for example, when it is implanted, the device releases the active agent in a controlled fashion without a lag period, or with a minimal lag period. Methods for producing the polymeric devices are also provided, as are methods of using the polymeric devices to provide for controlled release of an active agent in a subject. | 01-01-2009 |

| 20100016267 | Pharmaceutical compositions for administraton to a sinus - Pharmaceutical compositions for delivering a drug to a sinus in a subject are provided. The compositions are formed by the combination of a carrier material and a drug and are specially adapted for delivery to a sinus. The compositions have no fixed shape, and the carrier material serves to increase the viscosity or specific volume of the composition after introduction of the composition into the sinus. Also provided are methods for delivering a drug to a subject. The methods entail administering a pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention directly to a sinus. The drug is then released from the composition to the sinus. The pharmaceutical compositions can be administered to a sinus in liquid form, for example, as a suspension or solution using standard techniques. Also provided is the use of a carrier material in the manufacture of a drug delivery composition. The drug delivery composition is for delivering a drug to a sinus in a subject. The composition comprises the carrier material combined with the drug to be delivered, and has no fixed shape. After the composition is introduced into a sinus, the carrier material serves to increase the viscosity or specific volume of the composition. | 01-21-2010 |
