Drug Delivery*
Versatile Drug Release Matrix
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
