20110091520 | Sustained Release Intraocular Implants and Methods for Treating Ocular Neuropathies - Biocompatible intraocular implants include a beta adrenergic receptor antagonist and a polymer associated with the beta adrenergic receptor antagonist to facilitate release of the beta adrenergic receptor antagonist into an eye for an extended period of time. The beta adrenergic receptor antagonist may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat one or more ocular conditions, such as an ocular neuropathies, for example, various forms of glaucoma. | 04-21-2011 |
20110251201 | Sustained release intraocular implants and methods for preventing retinal dysfunction - Biocompatible intraocular implants include an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist and a polymer associated with the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist to facilitate release of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist into an eye for an extended period of time. The alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. The implants may be placed in an eye to prevent the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, or to reduce one or more symptoms of an ocular condition, such as an ocular neurosensory disorder and the like. | 10-13-2011 |
20120122821 | STEROID-CONTAINING SUSTAINED RELEASE INTRAOCULAR IMPLANTS AND RELATED METHODS - Biocompatible intraocular implants include a steroid and an auxiliary agent, where the auxiliary agent is present in an amount sufficient to lessen the severity of at least one side effect compared to the use of an otherwise identical implant lacking said auxiliary agent. The steroid and the auxiliary agent may be present on the same intraocular implant or on different implants. The steroid and auxiliary agent may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. Or, the steroid may be associated with a polymeric coating having one or more openings effective to permit the steroid to be released into an external environment. The implants containing the steroid and an auxiliary agent may be placed in an eye to treat one or more ocular conditions while reducing the side effects otherwise accompanying steroid use. | 05-17-2012 |
20130017244 | Sustained release intraocular implants and related methods - Biocompatible intraocular implants include a steroid and a polymer associated with each other to facilitate release of the steroid into an eye for a period of time greater than about two months. The steroid may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. Or, the steroid may be associated with a polymeric coating having one or more openings effective to permit the steroid to be released into an external environment. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat one or more ocular conditions. The steroid is released from the implant for more than about two months, and may be release for more than several years. | 01-17-2013 |
20130236525 | Sustained release intraocular implants and related methods - Biocompatible intraocular implants include a steroid and a polymer associated with each other to facilitate release of the steroid into an eye for a period of time greater than about two months. The steroid may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. Or, the steroid may be associated with a polymeric coating having one or more openings effective to permit the steroid to be released into an external environment. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat one or more ocular conditions. The steroid is released from the implant for more than about two months, and may be release for more than several years. | 09-12-2013 |
20130236526 | Sustained Release Intraocular Implants and Methods for Preventing Retinal Dysfunction - Biocompatible intraocular implants include an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist and a polymer associated with the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist to facilitate release of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist into an eye for an extended period of time. The alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. The implants may be placed in an eye to prevent the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, or to reduce one or more symptoms of an ocular condition, such as an ocular neurosensory disorder and the like. | 09-12-2013 |
20140140992 | Sustained Release Formulations for Delivery of Proteins to the Eye and Methods of Preparing Same - The present invention provides for injectable pharmaceutical sustained release formulations for delivery of active agents, particularly therapeutic proteins, to the eye. The formulations are biocompatible, biodegradable sustained release formulations comprising low-solubility liquid excipients and relatively small amounts (less than about 10%) of biocompatible, biodegradable polymer such as PLA or PLGA polymers. A unit dose of 5 μL to 100 μL of the formulation provides for sustained release of the agent for at least 14 days. | 05-22-2014 |
20140180245 | DOSE GUIDES FOR INJECTION SYRINGE - Devices that guide the accurate loading and dispensing of predetermined doses of fluid from injection syringes are disclosed. | 06-26-2014 |
20140199366 | SUSTAINED RELEASE INTRAOCULAR IMPLANTS AND METHODS FOR TREATING OCULAR NEUROPATHIES - Biocompatible intraocular implants include a beta adrenergic receptor antagonist and a polymer associated with the beta adrenergic receptor antagonist to facilitate release of the beta adrenergic receptor antagonist into an eye for an extended period of time. The beta adrenergic receptor antagonist may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat one or more ocular conditions, such as an ocular neuropathies, for example, various forms of glaucoma. | 07-17-2014 |
20140213646 | Sustained Release Formulations for the Treatment of Intraocular Pressure or Glaucoma - The present embodiments provide for methods of treating elevated intraocular pressure or glaucoma using a sustained release medicament consisting of prostaglandin in benzyl benzoate that is injected intraocularly no more frequently than once every two months. | 07-31-2014 |
