20080286205 | Method for Treating Prostate Diseases Based on Local Delivery of Active Substances - A method for treating prostate related diseases in a subject, the method comprising i) optionally administering to subject an initial boost dose of one or more active substances and/or prodrugs, and ii) administering locally into the prostate a controlled release pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more active substances in a biodegradable ceramic carrier. The biodegradable hydrating ceramic may be selected from the group consisting of non-hydrated or hydrated calcium sulphate, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, calcium fluoride, calcium silicate, magnesium sulphate, magnesium phosphate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium fluoride, magnesium silicate, barium sulphate, barium phosphate, barium carbonate, barium fluoride, barium silicate, or mixtures thereof. In a specific embodiment, the biodegradable hydrating ceramic is non-hydrated or hydrated calcium sulphate. | 11-20-2008 |
20080294271 | Porous implant grain or granule - The present invention is related to an implant with anti-inflammatory or antibacterial effects, or both, the implant being intended for implantation in a human or an animal body, the implant comprising at least one porous grain or granule, wherein the at least one porous grain or granule

20090036392 | COMPOSITION COMPRISING BIODEGRADABLE HYDRATING CERAMICS FOR CONTROLLED DRUG DELIVERY - The present invention relates to a drug carrier composition comprising i) one or more biodegradable hydrating ceramics ii) one or more expandable agents, and iii) sorbed aqueous medium which in solid form has a ruptured structure. The function of the expandable agent is to create a ruptured structure in the solidified composition, either a foam-like structure or a disintegrated structure where it is split into a large number of parts, particles, units, granules or pieces, so as to obtain an enlarged apparent surface area that is exposed to degradation or erosion upon administration. Suitable substances to obtain this surface enlarging effect are gas-forming agents or swelling agents, gelling agents or disintegrants, here referred to as expandable agents. The expandable agents may be bioresorbable or non-bioresorbable. | 02-05-2009 |
20090118215 | Bioresorbable Controlled-Release Composition - A novel method for the preparation of a highly densified and at least partly, preferably fully or almost fully hydrated ceramic for use in the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition notably for controlled-release of one or more therapeutically, prophylactically and/or diagnostically active substance. The method involves a concomitant step of hydrating and densifying a bioresorbable and hydratable ceramic such as calcium sulphate. The invention also relates to compositions comprising such a highly densified ceramic. The pharmaceutical composition is useful for targeted and controlled local prolonged release of active substances, e.g. anti-cancer agents, whereby the spectrum and severity of side effects are minimized due to an optimized local concentration-time profile. | 05-07-2009 |

20090266420 | Mixing system and mixing method for medical purposes - A system and a method for making an injectable mixture using at least one first pulverulent component and a second liquid component with a first piston/cylinder arrangement with a cylinder with an axial extension and a piston, wherein the cylinder includes a measured amount of the pulverulent component, a separate reservoir including a corresponding measured amount of the liquid component, and a transfer device for sealed transfer of said amount of the liquid component to the cylinder for subsequent mixing and injection of the completed mixture. The first piston/cylinder arrangement is an injection syringe. A mixing element being manoeuvrable by a user is positioned inside the cylinder. At least one gas transferring channel means leading to the cylinder is arranged at the cylinder. Engagement means are arranged for connecting the first injection syringe to the separate reservoir during transfer of the liquid component. | 10-29-2009 |
