Drug Delivery*

CONSTRUCT ATTRIBUTES:

• Multiple configurations for implantable drug delivery
• High drug loading capability
• Minimal burst effect
• Surface erodible drug elution possible
• Linear release kinetics
• Processed at lower temperatures for improved drug stability

DESCRIPTION:

Tepha is developing and formulating TephaFLEX® and TephELAST® materials into a number of treatment-specific constructs for local delivery as well as systemic release of small molecule drugs and biological therapeutics. These developments can allow for high drug-loading densities with linear release kinetics to provide for reliable therapeutic effects.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS:

• Depot formulations for systemic drug delivery
• Site-specific local drug delivery implants
• Drug-device combinations
