Popis: | Current administration of ranibizumab and other therapeutic macromolecules to the vitreous and retina carries ocular risks, a high patient treatment burden, and compliance barriers that can lead to suboptimal treatment. Here we introduce a device that produces sustained release of ranibizumab in the vitreous cavity over the course of several months. Composed of twin nanoporous polymer thin films surrounding a ranibizumab reservoir, these devices provide release of ranibizumab over 16weeks in vitro and 12weeks in vivo, without exhausting the initial drug payload. Following implantation in vivo, devices were well-tolerated and showed no sign of immune response. This platform presents a potential solution to the challenge of delivering protein therapeutics to the vitreous and retina for sustained periods of time. |
