Description
BIOACTIVE COATING COMPOSITIONS FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
TECHNICAL FIELD
In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method of treating implantable medical devices with coating compositions to provide for the controlled release of bioactive (e.g., pharmaceutical) agents from the surface of the devices under physiological conditions. In another aspect, the invention relates to the coating compositions, per se. In yet another aspect, the invention relates to devices or surfaces coated with such compositions. In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to the local administration of bioactive agents for the prevention and treatment of diseases, such as vascular and ocular diseases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many surgical interventions require the placement of a medical device into the body. One prevalent surgical intervention often requiring such a device is percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty ("PTCA"). Many individuals suffer from circulatory disease caused by a progressive blockage of the blood vessels, which often leads to hypertension, ischemic injury, stroke, or myocardial infarction. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is a medical procedure performed to increase blood flow through a damaged artery and is now the predominant treatment for coronary vessel stenosis. The increasing use of this procedure is attributable to its relatively high success rate and its minimal invasiveness compared with coronary bypass surgery. A limitation associated with PTCA is the abrupt closure of the vessel which can occur soon after angioplasty.
Insertion of small spring-like medical devices called stems into such damaged vessels has proved to be a better approach to keep the vessels open as compared to systemic pharmacologic therapy.
While often necessary and beneficial for treating a variety of medical conditions, metal or polymeric devices (e.g., stems, catheters...), after placement in the body, can give rise to numerous physiological complications. Some of these complications include:
increased risk of infection; initiation of a foreign body response resulting in inflammation and fibrous encapsulation; and initiation of a detrimental wound healing response resulting in hyperplasia and restenosis. These problems have been particularly acute with the placement of stems in damaged arteries after angioplasty.
One promising approach is to provide the device with the ability to deliver bioactive agents in the vicinity of the implant. By doing so, some of the harmful effects associated with the implantation of medical devices can be diminished. Thus, for example, antibiotics can be released from the surface of the device to minimize the possibility of infection, and antiproliferative drugs can be released to inhibit hyperplasia.
Another benefit to the local release of bioactive agents is the avoidance of toxic concentrations of drugs encountered when given systemically at sufficiently high doses to achieve therapeutic concentrations at the site where they are needed.
Although the potential benefit from using such bioactive agent-releasing medical devices is great, development of such medical devices has been slow. Progress has been hampered by many challenges, including: 1 ) the requirement, in some instances, for long term (i.e., at least several weeks) release of bioactive agents; 2) the need for a biocompatible, non-inflammatory device surface; 3) the demand for significant durability (and particularly, resistance to delamination and cracking), particularly with devices that undergo flexion and/or expansion when being implanted or used in the body; 4) concerns regarding the ability of the device to be manufactured in an economically viable and reproducible manner; and 5) the requirement that the finished device can be sterilized using conventional methods.
Implantable medical devices capable of delivering medicinal agents from hydrophobic polymer coatings have been described. See, for instance, U.S.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a coating composition, and related methods for preparing and using the coating composition to coat a surface with a bioactive agent, for instance to coat the surface of an implantable medical device in a manner that permits the surface to release the bioactive agent over time when implanted in vivo.
The coating composition of this invention comprises one or more bioactive agents in combination with a plurality of polymers, including: (a) a first polymer component comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of (i) ethylene copolymers with other alkylenes, (ii) polybutenes, (iii) aromatic group-containing copolymers, (iv) epichlorohydrin-containing polymers, (v) poly(alkylene-co-alkyl(meth)acrylates), and (vi) diolefin-derived, non-aromatic polymers and copolymers; and (b) a second polymer component comprising one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of poly(alkyl(meth)acrylates) and poly(aromatic (meth)acrylates), where "(meth)"
will be understood by those skilled in the art to include such molecules in either the acrylic and/or methacrylic form (corresponding to the acrylates and/or methacrylates, respectively).
Applicants have discovered a group of first polymers that when used in combination with one or more second polymers can each meet or exceed the variety of criteria required of a composition of this invention, including in terms of its formulation, delivery, and/or coated characteristics.
In various embodiments, with regard to its formulation, a coating composition of this invention may be provided in the form of a true solution by the use of one or more solvents. Such solvents, in turn, are not only capable of dissolving the polymers and bioactive agent in solution, as compared to dispersion or emulsion, but they are also sufficiently volatile to permit the composition to be effectively applied to a surface (e.g., as by spraying) and quickly removed (e.g., as by drying) to provide a stable and desirable coated composition. In turn, the coated composition is itself homogeneous, with the first and second polymers effectively serving as cosolvents for each other, and bioactive agent substantially equally sequestered within them both.
In some embodiments, the ability to form a true solution.using the claimed polymer combinations is desirable when considering the inclusion of potentially significant amounts of bioactive agent with the polymer blend. In various embodiments of the present invention, the coating composition is not only in the form of a true solution, but one in which bioactive agent is present at saturated or supersaturated levels. Without intending to be bound by theory, it appears that it is by virtue of the ability to achieve such solutions, that release of the bioactive agent from the coated composition is best accomplished and facilitated. In turn, it appears that the release of bioactive agent from such a system is due, at least in part, to its inherent instability within the coated composition itself, coupled with its physical/chemical preference for surrounding tissues and fluids. In turn, those skilled in the art will appreciate the manner in which the various ingredients and amounts in a composition of this invention can be adjusted to provide desired release kinetics and for any particular bioactive agent, solvent and polymer combination.
With regard to its delivery, various embodiments including a composition of this invention meets or exceeds further criteria in its ability to be sterilized, stored, and delivered to a surface in a manner that preserves its desired characteristics, yet using conventional delivery means, such as spraying. In some embodiments, such delivery involves spraying the composition onto a device surface in a manner that avoids or minimizes phase separation of the polymer components.
Finally, and with regard to its coated characteristics, a composition of this invention permits polymer ratios to be varied in a manner that provides not only an optimal combination of such attributes as biocompatibility, durability, and bioactive agent release kinetics, but also, in some embodiments, provides a coated composition that is homogeneous, and hence substantially optically clear upon microscopic examination.
Even more surprisingly, in some embodiments, the compositions of this invention will provide these and other features, with or without optional pretreatment of a metallic surface. The ability to achieve or exceed any of these criteria, let alone most if not all of them, was not expected.
In turn, compositions of the present invention provide properties that are comparable or better than those obtained with previous polymer blend compositions.
This, in turn, provides a variety of new and further opportunities, including with respect to both the type and concentration of bioactive agents that can be coated, as well as the variety of medical devices, and surfaces, themselves. In turn, the present invention also provides a combination that includes a medical device coated with a composition of this invention, as well as a method of preparing and using such a combination.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Without intending to be bound by theory, it appears that suitable first polymers for use in a composition of this invention provide an optimal combination of such properties as glass transition temperature (Tg) and diffusion constant for the particular bioactive agent of choice. Along with melting temperature (Tm), Tg is an important parameter of a given polymer (including copolymer), and particularly amorphous polymers, that can be used to characterize its properties over a wide temperature range. A polymer is typically brittle at temperatures below its Tg, and flexible at temperatures above. Both Tm and Tg can be affected by such things as polymer structure and backbone flexibility, molecular weight, attractive forces, and pressure. For random copolymers and compatible polymer blends, only a single Tg is observed, usually lying intermediate between the Tg of the corresponding pure homopolymers. Different Tg s are exhibited for incompatible polymer blends, and between the microdomains of block copolymers with mutually incompatible blocks. Tg can be measured by any suitable technique, e.g., dilatometry, refractive index, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical measurement, and dielectric measurement.
Various second polymers (e.g., poly (n-butyl methacrylate)) of the present composition generally provide a Tg in the range of room to body temperature (e.g., from about 20 °C to about 40 °C), and hence tend to be somewhat stiffer polymers, in turn, providing a slower diffusion constant for a number of bioactive agents.
Applicants have discovered the manner in which certain new polymers can be used as a first polymer component, to essentially balance, or temper the desired properties of the second polymer.
Such first polymers will generally provide a lower glass transition temperature (e.g., below room temperature, and in some embodiments in the range of about 0 °C or less), together with a relatively high diffusion constant for the bioactive agent. By appropriately combining the two polymers with bioactive agent, those skilled in the art, given the present description, will be able to vary both the selection and ratios of first and second polymers, in order to determine an optimal combination of physical and mechanical properties, including bioactive agent diffusion and release kinetics, as well as durability and tenacity of the coating itself upon a particular surface, that best fits their particular needs.
Hence embodiments of the first polymer of this invention will generally provide an optimal combination of glass transition temperature (e.g., at or lower than that of the second polymer), compatibility with the bioactive agent of choice, acceptable solubility in the solvents of choice, as well as commercial availability and cost.
The term "coating composition", as used herein, will refer to one or more vehicles (e.g., solutions, mixtures, emulsions, dispersions, blends, etc.) used to effectively coat a surface with bioactive agent, first polymer component and/or second polymer component, either individually or in any suitable combination.
The term "coated composition" will refer to the effective combination, upon the surface of a device, of bioactive agent, first polymer component and second polymer component, whether formed as the result of one or more coating vehicles or in one or more layers and/or steps.
Unless defined otherwise, the term "coating" will refer to the effective combination of bioactive agent, first polymer component and second polymer component, independent of the device surface, and whether formed as the result of one or more coating vehicles or in one or more layers.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term "molecular weight" and all polymeric molecular weights described herein are "weight average" molecular weights ("Mw"). As used herein "weight average molecular weight" or MW, is an absolute method of measuring molecular weight and is particularly useful for measuring the molecular weight of a polymer preparation. The weight average molecular weight (MW) can be defined by the following formula:
~NiMa L NiMi:
wherein N represents the number of moles of a polymer in the sample with a mass of M, and E; is the sum of all N;M; (species) in a preparation. The MW can be measured using common techniques, such as light scattering or ultracentrifugation. Discussion of MW and other terms used to define the molecular weight of polymer preparations can be found in, for example, Allcock, H. R. and Lampe, F. W., Contemporary Polymer Chemistry;
pg 271 ( 1990).
As described and exemplified herein, a resultant composition can be coated using a plurality of individual steps or layers, including for instance, an initial layer having only bioactive agent (or bioactive agent with one or both of the polymer components), over which are coated one or more additional layers containing suitable combinations of bioactive agent, first polymer component and/or second polymer component, the combined result of which is to provide a coated composition of the invention.
In turn, and in various embodiments, the invention further provides a method of reproducibly controlling the release (e.g., elution) of a bioactive agent from the surface of a medical device implanted in vivo. Those skilled in the art will appreciate the manner in which the combined effect of these various layers can be used and optimized to achieve various effects in vivo. In addition, the surface to which the composition is applied can itself be pretreated in a manner sufficient to improve attachment of the composition to the underlying (e.g., metallic) surface. Examples of such pretreatments include the use of compositions such as Parylene TM coatings, as described herein. Additional examples of such pretreatments include silane coupling agents, photografted polymers, epoxy primers, polycarboxylate resins, and physical roughening of the surface. It is further noted that the pretreatment compositions may be used in combination with each other or may be applied in separate layers to form a pretreatment coating on the surface of the medical device.
While not intending to be bound by theory, the release kinetics of the bioactive agent in vivo are thought to generally include both a short term ("burst") release component, within the order of minutes to hours after implantation, and a longer term release component, which can range from on the order of hours to days or even months or years of useful release.
Additionally, the ability to coat a device in the manner of the present invention provides greater latitude in the composition of various coating layers, e.g., permitting more or less of the second polymer component (i.e., poly(alkyl (meth)acrylate) and/or poly(aromatic (meth)acrylate)) to be used in coating compositions used to form different layers (e.g., as a topcoat layer). This, in turn, provides the opportunity to further control release and elution of the bioactive agent from the overall coating.
The coating composition and method can be used to control the amount and rate of bioactive agent (e.g., drug) release from one or more surfaces of implantable medical devices. In various embodiments, the method employs a mixture of hydrophobic polymers in combination with one or more bioactive agents, such as a pharmaceutical agent, such that the amount and rate of release of agents) from the medical device can be controlled, e.g., by adjusting the relative types and/or concentrations of hydrophobic polymers in the mixture. For a given combination of polymers, for instance, this approach permits the release rate to be adjusted and controlled by simply adjusting the relative concentrations of the polymers in the coating mixture. This provides an additional means to control rate of bioactive agent release besides the conventional approach of varying the concentration of bioactive agent in a coated composition.
Some embodiments of the invention include a method of coating a device comprising the step of applying the composition to the device surface under conditions of controlled relative humidity (at a given temperature), for instance, under conditions of increased or decreased relative humidity as compared to ambient humidity.
Humidity can be "controlled" in any suitable manner, including at the time of preparing and/or using (as by applying) the composition, for instance, by coating the surface in a confined chamber or area adapted to provide a relative humidity different than ambient conditions, andlor by 5 adjusting the water content of the coating or coated composition itself.
Without intending to be bound by theory, it appears that the elution rate of a bioactive agent from a coating composition generally increases as relative humidity increases.
In various embodiments, the coating composition of this invention includes a mixture of two or more polymers having complementary physical characteristics, and a 10 bioactive agent or agents applicable to the surface of an implantable medical device. The device can be of any suitable type or configuration, and in some embodiments, is one that undergoes flexion and/or expansion upon implantation or use, as in the manner of a stmt or catheter. The applied coating composition is cured (e.g., by solvent evaporation) to provide a tenacious and flexible bioactive-releasing composition on the surface of the medical device. Such coating compositions are particularly well suited for devices that are themselves sufficiently small, or have portions that are sufficiently small (as in the struts of an expandable stmt or the twists of an ocular coil), to permit the coated composition to form a contiguous, e.g., circumferential, coating, thereby further improving the ability of the coating to remain intact (e.g., avoid delamination).
The complementary polymers are selected such that a broad range of relative polymer concentrations can be used without detrimentally affecting the desirable physical characteristics of the polymers. By use of the polymer combinations (including mixtures and blends) of the invention the bioactive release rate from a coated medical device can be manipulated by adjusting the relative concentrations of the polymers.
In additional embodiments, the present invention relates to a coating composition and related method for coating an implantable medical device which undergoes flexion andlor expansion upon implantation. However it is noted that the coating composition may also be utilized with medical devices that have minimal or do not undergo flexion andlor expansion. The structure and composition of the underlying device can be of any suitable, and medically acceptable, design and can be made of any suitable material that is compatible with the coating itself. The natural or pretreated surface of the medical device is provided with a coating containing one or more bioactive agents.
A first polymer component of this invention provides an optimal combination of similar properties, and particularly when used in admixture with the second polymer component. In some embodiments, a first polymer is a polymer selected from the group consisting of (i) ethylene copolymers with other alkylenes, (ii) polybutenes, (iii) aromatic group-containing copolymers, (iv) epichlorohydrin-containing polymers (v) poly(alkylene-co-alkyl(meth)acrylates), and (vi) diolefin-derived, non-aromatic polymers and copolymers.
Examples of suitable first polymers are commercially available from sources such as Sigma-Aldrich.
A first polymer component may be selected from one or more ethylene copolymers with other alkylenes. Various first polymers for use in this invention comprise ethylene copolymers with other alkylenes, which in turn, can include straight chain and branched alkylenes, as well as substituted or unsubstituted alkylenes. Examples include copolymers prepared from alkylenes that comprise from 3 to 8 branched or linear carbon atoms, inclusive, in various embodiments, alkylene groups that comprise from 3 to 4 branched or linear carbon atoms, inclusive, and in some embodiments, the alkylene group contains 3 carbon atoms (e.g., propylene). In some embodiments, the other alkylene is a straight chain alkylene (e.g., 1-alkylene).
Various copolymers of this type can comprise from about 20% to about 90%
(based on moles) of ethylene, and in some embodiments, from about 35% to about 80%
(mole) of ethylene. Such copolymers will have a molecular weight of between about 30 kilodaltons to about 500 kilodaltons. Examples of such copolymers are selected from the group consisting of polyethylene-co-propylene), polyethylene-co-1-butene), polyethylene-co-1-butene-co-1-hexene) and/or polyethylene-co-1-octene).
Examples of particular copolymers include polyethylene-co-propylene) random copolymers in which the copolymer contains from about 35% to about 65% (mole) of ethylene; and in some embodiments, from about 55% to about 65% (mole) ethylene, and the molecular weight of the copolymer is from about 50 kilodaltons to about kilodaltons, in some embodiments from about 100 kilodaltons to about 200 kilodaltons.
Copolymers of this type can optionally be provided in the form of random terpolymers prepared by the polymerization of both ethylene and propylene with optionally one or more additional dime monomers, such as those selected from the group consisting of ethylidene norborane, dicyclopentadiene and/or hexadiene.
Various terpolymers of this type can include up to about S% (mole) of the third dime monomer .
Other examples of suitable copolymers of this type are commercially available from sources such as Sigma-Aldrich and include the following products. For example, suitable copolymers of this type and their related descriptions may be found in the 2003-2004 Aldrich Handbook of Fine Chemicals and Laboratory Equipment, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein. Examples of such copolymers include, but are not limited to polyethylene-co-propylene), polyethylene-co-1-butene), poly(ethylene-co-1-butene-co-1-hexene), polyethylene-co-1-octene) and polyethylene-co-propylene-co-5-methylene-2-norborene).
Alternatively, a first polymer component may be selected from one or more polybutenes. "Polybutenes" suitable for use in the present invention include polymers derived by homopolymerizing or randomly interpolymerizing isobutylene, 1-butene and/or 2-butene. The polybutene can be a homopolymer of any of the isomers or it can be a copolymer or a terpolymer of any of the monomers in any ratio. In various embodiments, the polybutene contains at least about 90% (wt) of isobutylene or 1-butene, and in some embodiments, the polybutene contains at least about 90% (wt) of isobutylene.
The polybutene may contain non-interfering amounts of other ingredients or additives, for instance it can contain up to 1000 ppm of an antioxidant (e.g., 2,6-di-tert-butyl-methylphenol).
In various embodiments, the polybutene has a molecular weight between about kilodaltons and about 1,000 kilodaltons, in some embodiments, between about kilodaltons and about 600 kilodaltons, and in some embodiments, between about kilodaltons and about 250 kilodaltons. In other embodiments, the polybutene has a molecular weight between about 150 kilodaltons and about 1,000 kilodaltons, optionally, between about 200 kilodaltons and about 600 kilodaltons, and further optionally, between about 350 kilodaltons and about 500 kilodaltons. Polybutenes having a molecular weight greater than about 600 kilodaltons, including greater than 1,000 kilodaltons are available but are expected to be more difficult to work with.

In some embodiments, the invention includes a wound dressing coated with a coating composition including a first polymer, a second polymer, and at least one bioactive agent selected from the group consisting of anesthetics, such as procaine, lidocaine, tetracaine and/or dibucaine.
A comprehensive listing of bioactive agents can be found in The Merck Index, Thirteenth Edition, Merck & Co. (2001 ), the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein. Bioactive agents are commercially available from Sigma Aldrich (e.g., vincristine sulfate). The concentration of the bioactive agent or agents dissolved or suspended in the coating mixture can range from about 0.01 to about 90 percent, by weight, based on the weight of the final coated composition. Additives such as inorganic salts, BSA (bovine serum albumin), and inert organic compounds can be used to alter the profile of bioactive agent release, as known to those skilled in the art.
In some embodiments, in order to provide a coating of the present invention, a coating composition is prepared to include one or more solvents, a combination of complementary polymers dissolved in the solvent, and the bioactive agent or agents dispersed in the polymer/solvent mixture. The solvent, in some embodiments, is one in which the polymers form a true solution. The pharmaceutical agent itself may either be soluble in the solvent or form a dispersion throughout the solvent. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, alcohols (e.g., methanol, butanol, propanol and isopropanol), alkanes (e.g., halogenated or unhalogenated alkanes such as hexane, cyclohexane, methylene chloride and chloroform), amides (e.g., dimethylformamide), ethers (e.g., tetrahydrofuran (THF ), dioxolane, and dioxane), ketones (e.g., methyl ethyl ketone), aromatic compounds (e.g., toluene and xylene), nitrites (e.g., acetonitrile) and esters (e.g., ethyl acetate). In some embodiments, THF and chloroform have been found to be effective solvents due to their excellent solvency for a variety of polymers and bioactive agents of the present invention.
A coating composition of this invention can be used to coat the surface of a variety of devices, and is particularly useful for those devices that will come in contact with aqueous systems. Such devices are coated with a coating composition adapted to release bioactive agent in a prolonged and controlled manner, generally beginning with the initial contact between the device surface and its aqueous environment.
The coated composition provides a means to deliver bioactive agents from a variety of biomaterial surfaces. Various biomaterials include those formed of synthetic polymers, including oligomers, homopolymers, and copolymers resulting from either addition or condensation polymerizations. Examples of suitable addition polymers include, but are not limited to, acrylics such as those polymerized from methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, glyceryl acrylate, glyceryl methacrylate, methacrylamide, and acrylamide; vinyls, such as those polymerized from ethylene, propylene, styrene, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrolidone, and vinylidene difluoride.
Examples of condensation polymers include, but are not limited to, nylons such as polycaprolactam, poly(lauryl lactam), poly(hexamethylene adipamide), and poly(hexamethylene dodecanediamide), and also polyurethanes, polycarbonates, polyamides, polysulfones, polyethylene terephthalate), poly(lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid), poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid), polydimethylsiloxanes, polyetheretherketone, poly(butylene terephthalate), poly(butylene terephthalate-co-polyethylene glycol terephthalate), esters with phosphorus containing linkages, non-peptide polyamino acid polymers, polyiminocarbonates, amino acid-derived polycarbonates and polyarylates, and copolymers of polyethylene oxides with amino acids or peptide sequences.
Certain natural materials are also suitable biomaterials, including human tissue such as bone, cartilage, skin and teeth; and other organic materials such as wood, cellulose, compressed carbon, and rubber. Other suitable biomaterials include metals and ceramics. The metals include, but are not limited to, titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt chromium. A second class of metals include the noble metals such as gold, silver, copper, and platinum. Alloys of metals, such as nitinol (e.g. MP35), may be suitable for biomaterials as well. The ceramics include, but are not limited to, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, zirconia, and alumina, as well as glass, silica, and sapphire. Yet other suitable biomaterials include combinations of ceramics and metals, as well as biomaterials that are fibrous or porous in nature.
Optionally, the surface of some biomaterials can be pretreated (e.g., with a silane and/or Parylene TM coating composition in one or more layers) in order to alter the surface properties of the biomaterial. For example, in various embodiments of the present invention a layer of silane may be applied to the surface of the biomaterial followed by a layer of ParleneTM. Parylene TM C is the polymeric form of the low-molecular-weight dimer of para-chloro-xylylene. Shane and/or Parylene TM C (a material supplied by Specialty Coating Systems (Indianapolis)) can be deposited as a continuous coating on a variety of medical device parts to provide an evenly distributed, transparent layer. In one embodiment, the deposition of Parylene TM is accomplished by a process termed vapor deposition polymerization, in which dimeric Parylene TM C is vaporized under vacuum at 150°C, pyrolyzed at 680°C to form a reactive monomer, then pumped into a chamber containing the component to be coated at 25°C. At the low chamber temperature, the monomeric xylylene is deposited on the part, where it immediately polymerizes via a free-radical process. The polymer coating reaches molecular weights of approximately 500 kilodaltons.
Deposition of the xylylene monomer takes place in only a moderate vacuum (0.1 torr) and is not line-of sight. That is, the monomer has the opportunity to surround all sides of the part to be coated, penetrating into crevices or tubes and coating sharp points and edges, creating what is called a "conformal" coating. With proper process control, it is possible to deposit a pinhole-free, insulating coating that will provide very low moisture permeability and high part protection to corrosive biological fluids.
Adherence is a function of the chemical nature of the surface to be coated. It has been reported, for instance, that tantalum and silicon surfaces can be overcoated with silicon dioxide, then with plasma-polymerized methane, and finally with Parylene TM C to achieve satisfactory adherence.
Most applications of Parylene TM C coating in the medical device industry are for protecting sensitive components from corrosive body fluids or for providing lubricity to surfaces. Typical anticorrosion applications include blood pressure sensors, cardiac-assist devices, prosthetic components, bone pins, electronic circuits, ultrasonic transducers, bone-growth stimulators, and brain probes. Applications to promote lubricity include mandrels, injection needles, cannulae, and catheters.
Also, as previously described above, the surface to which the composition is applied can itself be pretreated in other manners sufficient to improve attachment of the composition to the underlying (e.g., metallic) surface. Additional examples of such pretreatments include photografted polymers, epoxy primers, polycarboxylate resins, and physical roughening of the surface. It is further noted that the pretreatment compositions and/or techniques may be used in combination with each other or may be applied in separate layers to form a pretreatment coating on the surface of the medical device.
As described above, the surface of a medical device may be roughened to increase adhesion of the coating composition to the medical device and/or alter elution profiles.
Without intending to be bound by theory, the roughening of the surface provides for a greater surface area between the coating composition and the surface of the medical device, which may increase adhesion. Further, in embodiments with relatively aggressive roughening and/or relatively thin coatings, the peaks and valleys of the roughened surface may transfer through the coating composition, thereby increasing the surface area of the coating. Such increased surface area may alter the bioactive agent release profile in situ.
The surface of the medical device may be roughened by any suitable method. In some embodiments, the surface of the medical device may be roughened by projecting silica particles at the surface. The extent of the roughening may be characterized by peak to valley distances. For example, the extent of roughening may be characterized by the distance between the average of the ten highest peaks and the ten lowest valleys. In some embodiments, the extent of roughening may range from about 2 pm to about 20 Vim.
Optionally, the extent of roughening may range from about 5 pm to about 15 pm.
In some embodiments, the extent of roughening may range from about 6.5 ~m to about 12 Vim.
In some embodiments, a tie-in layer may be utilized to facilitate one or more physical and/or covalent bonds between layers. For example, the pretreatment layer may include a mufti-interface system to facilitate adhesion and cohesion interaction relative to the different materials positioned at the interface of each layer. For example, the application of Parylene pretreatments to metal surfaces may be aided by a first application of a reactive organosilane reagent. A reactive organosilane reagent containing an unsaturated pendant group is capable of participating with the Parylene radicals as they deposit on the surface from the vapor phase. After cleaning of the metal surface, an organosilane reagent with an unsaturated pendant group may be applied to the metal oxide surface on a metal substrate. Without intending to be bound by theory, it appears that the silicon in the organosilane reagent couples covalently to the metal oxide, linking the 5 organosilane group to the surface. The substrate may then be placed in a Parylene reactor and exposed to the vapor-phase Parylene process. During this process, the unsaturated pendant groups on the organosilane-treated surface can react with the Parylene diradicals depositing from the vapor phase. This forms a covalent link between the Parylene and the organosilane layer. The Parylene also forms covalent bonds to itself as it deposits. Thus, 10 this process yields a layered surface in which the layers are covalently bonded to each other. This forms a very strong bond between the Parylene and the metal surface, resulting in high durability to mechanical challenges. Further, in some embodiments, the Parylene may physically bond with the bioactive agent delivery coating or may include a reactive acrylate group that can be reacted with the bioactive agent delivery coating to 15 improve durability to mechanical challenges.

The compositions are particularly useful for those devices that will come in contact with aqueous systems, such as bodily fluids. Such devices are coated with a coating composition adapted to release bioactive agent in a prolonged and controlled manner, generally beginning with the initial contact between the device surface and its aqueous environment. It is important to note that the local delivery of combinations of bioactive agents may be utilized to treat a wide variety of conditions utilizing any number of medical devices, or to enhance the function and/or life of the device.
Essentially, any type of medical device may be coated in some fashion with one or more bioactive agents that enhances treatment over use of the individual use of the device or bioactive agent.
In various embodiments, the coating composition can also be used to coat stems, e.g., either self expanding stents, which are typically prepared from nitinol, or balloon-expandable stems, which are typically prepared from stainless steel. Other stmt materials, such as cobalt chromium alloys, can be coated by the coating composition as well.
Devices which are particularly suitable include vascular stems such as self expanding stems and balloon expandable stems.

4,800,882 issued to Gianturco and U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,062 issued to Wiktor.
In other embodiments, the coating composition can also be used to coat ophthalmic devices, e.g. ocular coils. A therapeutic agent delivery device that is particularly suitable for delivery of a therapeutic agent to limited access regions, such as the vitreous chamber of the eye and inner ear is described in U.S. patent number 6,719,750 and U.S.
Patent Application Publication No. 2005/0019371 A1.
The resultant coating composition can be applied to the device in any suitable fashion (e.g., the coating composition can be applied directly to the surface of the medical device, or alternatively, to the surface of a surface-modified medical device, by dipping, spraying, ultrasonic deposition, or using any other conventional technique).
The suitability of the coating composition for use on a particular material, and in turn, the suitability of the coated composition can be evaluated by those skilled in the art, given the present description. In one such embodiment, for instance, the coating comprises at least two layers which are themselves different. For instance, a base layer may be applied having bioactive agents) alone, or together with or without one or more of the polymer components, after which one or more topcoat layers are coated, each with either first and/or second polymers as described herein, and with or without bioactive agent. These different layers, in turn, can cooperate in the resultant composite coating to provide an overall release profile having certain desired characteristics, and in some embodiments, for use with bioactive agents of high molecular weight. In some embodiments, the composition is coated onto the device surface in one or more applications of a single composition that includes first and second polymers, together with bioactive agent.
However, as previously suggested a pretreatment layer or layers may be first applied to the surface of the device, wherein subsequent coating with the composition may be performed onto the pretreatment layer(s). The method of applying the coating composition to the device is typically governed by the geometry of the device and other process considerations. The coating is subsequently cured by evaporation of the solvent. The curing process can be performed at room or elevated temperature, and optionally with the assistance of vacuum and/or controlled humidity.
It is also noted that one or more additional layers may be applied to the coating layers) that include bioactive agent. Such layers) or topcoats can be utilized to provide a number of benefits, such as biocompatibility enhancement, delamination protection, durability enhancement, bioactive agent release control, to just mention a few. In one embodiment the topcoat may include one or more of the first, second, and/or additional polymers described herein without the inclusion of a bioactive agent. In various embodiments, the topcoat includes a second polymer that is a poly(alkyl(meth)acrylate).
An example of one embodiment of a poly(alkyl(meth)acrylate) includes poly (n-butyl methacrylate). In another embodiment, the first or second polymers could further include functional groups (e.g. hydroxy, thiol, methylol, amino, and amine-reactive functional groups such as isocyanates, thioisocyanates, carboxylic acids, acyl halides, epoxides, aldehydes, alkyl halides, and sulfonate esters such as mesylate, tosylate, and tresylate) that could be utilized to bind the topcoat to the adjacent coating composition. In another embodiment of the present invention one or more of the pretreatment materials (e.g.
Parylene TM) may be applied as a topcoat. Additionally, biocompatible topcoats (e.g.
heparin, collagen, extracellular matrices, cell receptors...) may be applied to the coating composition of the present invention. Such biocompatible topcoats may be adjoined to the coating composition of the present invention by utilizing photochemical or thermochemical techniques known in the art. Additionally, release layers may be applied to the coating composition of the present invention as a friction barrier layer or a layer to protect against delamination. Examples of biocompatible topcoats that may be used include those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. U.S. Patent No. 4,979,959 and 5,744,515.
Optionally, a hydrophilic topcoat may be provided. Such topcoats may provide several advantages, including providing a relatively more lubricious surface to aid in medical device placement in situ, as well as to further increase biocompatibility in some applications. Examples of hydrophilic agents that may be suitable for a topcoat in accordance with the invention includes polyacrylamide(36%)co-methacrylic acid(MA)-(10%)co-methoxy PEGl000MA-(4%)co-BBA-APMA compounds such as those described in example 4 of US Patent Application Publication No. 200210041899, photoheparin such as described in example 4 of US Patent No. 5,563,056, and a photoderivatized coating as described in Example 1 of US Patent No. 6,706,408, the contents of each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
In some embodiments, the topcoat may be used to control the elution rate of a bioactive agent from a medical device surface. For example, topcoats may be described as the weight of the topcoat relative to the weight of the underlying bioactive agent containing layer. For example, the topcoat may be about 1 percent to about 50 percent by weight relative to the underlying layer. In some embodiments, the topcoat may be about 2 percent to about 25 percent by weight relative to the underlying layer.
Optionally, in some embodiments, the topcoat may be about 5 percent to about 12 percent by weight relative to the underlying layer.
TECHNICAL FIELD
In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method of treating implantable medical devices with coating compositions to provide for the controlled release of bioactive (e.g., pharmaceutical) agents from the surface of the devices under physiological conditions. In another aspect, the invention relates to the coating compositions, per se. In yet another aspect, the invention relates to devices or surfaces coated with such compositions. In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to the local administration of bioactive agents for the prevention and treatment of diseases, such as vascular and ocular diseases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many surgical interventions require the placement of a medical device into the body. One prevalent surgical intervention often requiring such a device is percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty ("PTCA"). Many individuals suffer from circulatory disease caused by a progressive blockage of the blood vessels, which often leads to hypertension, ischemic injury, stroke, or myocardial infarction. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is a medical procedure performed to increase blood flow through a damaged artery and is now the predominant treatment for coronary vessel stenosis. The increasing use of this procedure is attributable to its relatively high success rate and its minimal invasiveness compared with coronary bypass surgery. A limitation associated with PTCA is the abrupt closure of the vessel which can occur soon after angioplasty.
Insertion of small spring-like medical devices called stems into such damaged vessels has proved to be a better approach to keep the vessels open as compared to systemic pharmacologic therapy.
While often necessary and beneficial for treating a variety of medical conditions, metal or polymeric devices (e.g., stems, catheters...), after placement in the body, can give rise to numerous physiological complications. Some of these complications include:
increased risk of infection; initiation of a foreign body response resulting in inflammation and fibrous encapsulation; and initiation of a detrimental wound healing response resulting in hyperplasia and restenosis. These problems have been particularly acute with the placement of stems in damaged arteries after angioplasty.
One promising approach is to provide the device with the ability to deliver bioactive agents in the vicinity of the implant. By doing so, some of the harmful effects associated with the implantation of medical devices can be diminished. Thus, for example, antibiotics can be released from the surface of the device to minimize the possibility of infection, and antiproliferative drugs can be released to inhibit hyperplasia.
Another benefit to the local release of bioactive agents is the avoidance of toxic concentrations of drugs encountered when given systemically at sufficiently high doses to achieve therapeutic concentrations at the site where they are needed.
Although the potential benefit from using such bioactive agent-releasing medical devices is great, development of such medical devices has been slow. Progress has been hampered by many challenges, including: 1 ) the requirement, in some instances, for long term (i.e., at least several weeks) release of bioactive agents; 2) the need for a biocompatible, non-inflammatory device surface; 3) the demand for significant durability (and particularly, resistance to delamination and cracking), particularly with devices that undergo flexion and/or expansion when being implanted or used in the body; 4) concerns regarding the ability of the device to be manufactured in an economically viable and reproducible manner; and 5) the requirement that the finished device can be sterilized using conventional methods.
Implantable medical devices capable of delivering medicinal agents from hydrophobic polymer coatings have been described. See, for instance, U.S.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a coating composition, and related methods for preparing and using the coating composition to coat a surface with a bioactive agent, for instance to coat the surface of an implantable medical device in a manner that permits the surface to release the bioactive agent over time when implanted in vivo.
The coating composition of this invention comprises one or more bioactive agents in combination with a plurality of polymers, including: (a) a first polymer component comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of (i) ethylene copolymers with other alkylenes, (ii) polybutenes, (iii) aromatic group-containing copolymers, (iv) epichlorohydrin-containing polymers, (v) poly(alkylene-co-alkyl(meth)acrylates), and (vi) diolefin-derived, non-aromatic polymers and copolymers; and (b) a second polymer component comprising one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of poly(alkyl(meth)acrylates) and poly(aromatic (meth)acrylates), where "(meth)"
will be understood by those skilled in the art to include such molecules in either the acrylic and/or methacrylic form (corresponding to the acrylates and/or methacrylates, respectively).
Applicants have discovered a group of first polymers that when used in combination with one or more second polymers can each meet or exceed the variety of criteria required of a composition of this invention, including in terms of its formulation, delivery, and/or coated characteristics.
In various embodiments, with regard to its formulation, a coating composition of this invention may be provided in the form of a true solution by the use of one or more solvents. Such solvents, in turn, are not only capable of dissolving the polymers and bioactive agent in solution, as compared to dispersion or emulsion, but they are also sufficiently volatile to permit the composition to be effectively applied to a surface (e.g., as by spraying) and quickly removed (e.g., as by drying) to provide a stable and desirable coated composition. In turn, the coated composition is itself homogeneous, with the first and second polymers effectively serving as cosolvents for each other, and bioactive agent substantially equally sequestered within them both.
In some embodiments, the ability to form a true solution.using the claimed polymer combinations is desirable when considering the inclusion of potentially significant amounts of bioactive agent with the polymer blend. In various embodiments of the present invention, the coating composition is not only in the form of a true solution, but one in which bioactive agent is present at saturated or supersaturated levels. Without intending to be bound by theory, it appears that it is by virtue of the ability to achieve such solutions, that release of the bioactive agent from the coated composition is best accomplished and facilitated. In turn, it appears that the release of bioactive agent from such a system is due, at least in part, to its inherent instability within the coated composition itself, coupled with its physical/chemical preference for surrounding tissues and fluids. In turn, those skilled in the art will appreciate the manner in which the various ingredients and amounts in a composition of this invention can be adjusted to provide desired release kinetics and for any particular bioactive agent, solvent and polymer combination.
With regard to its delivery, various embodiments including a composition of this invention meets or exceeds further criteria in its ability to be sterilized, stored, and delivered to a surface in a manner that preserves its desired characteristics, yet using conventional delivery means, such as spraying. In some embodiments, such delivery involves spraying the composition onto a device surface in a manner that avoids or minimizes phase separation of the polymer components.
Finally, and with regard to its coated characteristics, a composition of this invention permits polymer ratios to be varied in a manner that provides not only an optimal combination of such attributes as biocompatibility, durability, and bioactive agent release kinetics, but also, in some embodiments, provides a coated composition that is homogeneous, and hence substantially optically clear upon microscopic examination.
Even more surprisingly, in some embodiments, the compositions of this invention will provide these and other features, with or without optional pretreatment of a metallic surface. The ability to achieve or exceed any of these criteria, let alone most if not all of them, was not expected.
In turn, compositions of the present invention provide properties that are comparable or better than those obtained with previous polymer blend compositions.
This, in turn, provides a variety of new and further opportunities, including with respect to both the type and concentration of bioactive agents that can be coated, as well as the variety of medical devices, and surfaces, themselves. In turn, the present invention also provides a combination that includes a medical device coated with a composition of this invention, as well as a method of preparing and using such a combination.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Without intending to be bound by theory, it appears that suitable first polymers for use in a composition of this invention provide an optimal combination of such properties as glass transition temperature (Tg) and diffusion constant for the particular bioactive agent of choice. Along with melting temperature (Tm), Tg is an important parameter of a given polymer (including copolymer), and particularly amorphous polymers, that can be used to characterize its properties over a wide temperature range. A polymer is typically brittle at temperatures below its Tg, and flexible at temperatures above. Both Tm and Tg can be affected by such things as polymer structure and backbone flexibility, molecular weight, attractive forces, and pressure. For random copolymers and compatible polymer blends, only a single Tg is observed, usually lying intermediate between the Tg of the corresponding pure homopolymers. Different Tg s are exhibited for incompatible polymer blends, and between the microdomains of block copolymers with mutually incompatible blocks. Tg can be measured by any suitable technique, e.g., dilatometry, refractive index, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical measurement, and dielectric measurement.
Various second polymers (e.g., poly (n-butyl methacrylate)) of the present composition generally provide a Tg in the range of room to body temperature (e.g., from about 20 °C to about 40 °C), and hence tend to be somewhat stiffer polymers, in turn, providing a slower diffusion constant for a number of bioactive agents.
Applicants have discovered the manner in which certain new polymers can be used as a first polymer component, to essentially balance, or temper the desired properties of the second polymer.
Such first polymers will generally provide a lower glass transition temperature (e.g., below room temperature, and in some embodiments in the range of about 0 °C or less), together with a relatively high diffusion constant for the bioactive agent. By appropriately combining the two polymers with bioactive agent, those skilled in the art, given the present description, will be able to vary both the selection and ratios of first and second polymers, in order to determine an optimal combination of physical and mechanical properties, including bioactive agent diffusion and release kinetics, as well as durability and tenacity of the coating itself upon a particular surface, that best fits their particular needs.
Hence embodiments of the first polymer of this invention will generally provide an optimal combination of glass transition temperature (e.g., at or lower than that of the second polymer), compatibility with the bioactive agent of choice, acceptable solubility in the solvents of choice, as well as commercial availability and cost.
The term "coating composition", as used herein, will refer to one or more vehicles (e.g., solutions, mixtures, emulsions, dispersions, blends, etc.) used to effectively coat a surface with bioactive agent, first polymer component and/or second polymer component, either individually or in any suitable combination.
The term "coated composition" will refer to the effective combination, upon the surface of a device, of bioactive agent, first polymer component and second polymer component, whether formed as the result of one or more coating vehicles or in one or more layers and/or steps.
Unless defined otherwise, the term "coating" will refer to the effective combination of bioactive agent, first polymer component and second polymer component, independent of the device surface, and whether formed as the result of one or more coating vehicles or in one or more layers.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term "molecular weight" and all polymeric molecular weights described herein are "weight average" molecular weights ("Mw"). As used herein "weight average molecular weight" or MW, is an absolute method of measuring molecular weight and is particularly useful for measuring the molecular weight of a polymer preparation. The weight average molecular weight (MW) can be defined by the following formula:
~NiMa L NiMi:
wherein N represents the number of moles of a polymer in the sample with a mass of M, and E; is the sum of all N;M; (species) in a preparation. The MW can be measured using common techniques, such as light scattering or ultracentrifugation. Discussion of MW and other terms used to define the molecular weight of polymer preparations can be found in, for example, Allcock, H. R. and Lampe, F. W., Contemporary Polymer Chemistry;
pg 271 ( 1990).
As described and exemplified herein, a resultant composition can be coated using a plurality of individual steps or layers, including for instance, an initial layer having only bioactive agent (or bioactive agent with one or both of the polymer components), over which are coated one or more additional layers containing suitable combinations of bioactive agent, first polymer component and/or second polymer component, the combined result of which is to provide a coated composition of the invention.
In turn, and in various embodiments, the invention further provides a method of reproducibly controlling the release (e.g., elution) of a bioactive agent from the surface of a medical device implanted in vivo. Those skilled in the art will appreciate the manner in which the combined effect of these various layers can be used and optimized to achieve various effects in vivo. In addition, the surface to which the composition is applied can itself be pretreated in a manner sufficient to improve attachment of the composition to the underlying (e.g., metallic) surface. Examples of such pretreatments include the use of compositions such as Parylene TM coatings, as described herein. Additional examples of such pretreatments include silane coupling agents, photografted polymers, epoxy primers, polycarboxylate resins, and physical roughening of the surface. It is further noted that the pretreatment compositions may be used in combination with each other or may be applied in separate layers to form a pretreatment coating on the surface of the medical device.
While not intending to be bound by theory, the release kinetics of the bioactive agent in vivo are thought to generally include both a short term ("burst") release component, within the order of minutes to hours after implantation, and a longer term release component, which can range from on the order of hours to days or even months or years of useful release.
Additionally, the ability to coat a device in the manner of the present invention provides greater latitude in the composition of various coating layers, e.g., permitting more or less of the second polymer component (i.e., poly(alkyl (meth)acrylate) and/or poly(aromatic (meth)acrylate)) to be used in coating compositions used to form different layers (e.g., as a topcoat layer). This, in turn, provides the opportunity to further control release and elution of the bioactive agent from the overall coating.
The coating composition and method can be used to control the amount and rate of bioactive agent (e.g., drug) release from one or more surfaces of implantable medical devices. In various embodiments, the method employs a mixture of hydrophobic polymers in combination with one or more bioactive agents, such as a pharmaceutical agent, such that the amount and rate of release of agents) from the medical device can be controlled, e.g., by adjusting the relative types and/or concentrations of hydrophobic polymers in the mixture. For a given combination of polymers, for instance, this approach permits the release rate to be adjusted and controlled by simply adjusting the relative concentrations of the polymers in the coating mixture. This provides an additional means to control rate of bioactive agent release besides the conventional approach of varying the concentration of bioactive agent in a coated composition.
Some embodiments of the invention include a method of coating a device comprising the step of applying the composition to the device surface under conditions of controlled relative humidity (at a given temperature), for instance, under conditions of increased or decreased relative humidity as compared to ambient humidity.
Humidity can be "controlled" in any suitable manner, including at the time of preparing and/or using (as by applying) the composition, for instance, by coating the surface in a confined chamber or area adapted to provide a relative humidity different than ambient conditions, andlor by 5 adjusting the water content of the coating or coated composition itself.
Without intending to be bound by theory, it appears that the elution rate of a bioactive agent from a coating composition generally increases as relative humidity increases.
In various embodiments, the coating composition of this invention includes a mixture of two or more polymers having complementary physical characteristics, and a 10 bioactive agent or agents applicable to the surface of an implantable medical device. The device can be of any suitable type or configuration, and in some embodiments, is one that undergoes flexion and/or expansion upon implantation or use, as in the manner of a stmt or catheter. The applied coating composition is cured (e.g., by solvent evaporation) to provide a tenacious and flexible bioactive-releasing composition on the surface of the medical device. Such coating compositions are particularly well suited for devices that are themselves sufficiently small, or have portions that are sufficiently small (as in the struts of an expandable stmt or the twists of an ocular coil), to permit the coated composition to form a contiguous, e.g., circumferential, coating, thereby further improving the ability of the coating to remain intact (e.g., avoid delamination).
The complementary polymers are selected such that a broad range of relative polymer concentrations can be used without detrimentally affecting the desirable physical characteristics of the polymers. By use of the polymer combinations (including mixtures and blends) of the invention the bioactive release rate from a coated medical device can be manipulated by adjusting the relative concentrations of the polymers.
In additional embodiments, the present invention relates to a coating composition and related method for coating an implantable medical device which undergoes flexion andlor expansion upon implantation. However it is noted that the coating composition may also be utilized with medical devices that have minimal or do not undergo flexion andlor expansion. The structure and composition of the underlying device can be of any suitable, and medically acceptable, design and can be made of any suitable material that is compatible with the coating itself. The natural or pretreated surface of the medical device is provided with a coating containing one or more bioactive agents.

The glass transition temperature for these copolymers varies with ethylene content, alkyl length on the (meth)acrylate and whether the first copolymer is an acrylate or methacrylate. At higher ethylene content, the glass transition temperature tends to be lower, and closer to that of pure polyethylene (-120°C). A longer alkyl chain also lowers the glass transition temperature.

In some embodiments, weight of the coating attributable to the active agent is in the range of about 1 microgram to about 10 milligrams of active agent per cm2 of the effective surface area of the device. By 20 "effective" surface area it is meant the surface amenable to being coated with the composition itself. For a flat, nonporous, surface, for instance, this will generally be the macroscopic surface area itself, while for considerably more porous or convoluted (e.g., corrugated, pleated, or fibrous) surfaces the effective surface area can be significantly greater than the corresponding macroscopic surface area. In an embodiment, the weight of 25 the coating attributable to the active agent is between about 0.01 mg and about 0.5 mg of active agent per cm2 of the gross surface area of the device.

In some embodiments, the invention includes a wound dressing coated with a coating composition including a first polymer, a second polymer, and at least one bioactive agent selected from the group consisting of anesthetics, such as procaine, lidocaine, tetracaine and/or dibucaine.
A comprehensive listing of bioactive agents can be found in The Merck Index, Thirteenth Edition, Merck & Co. (2001 ), the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein. Bioactive agents are commercially available from Sigma Aldrich (e.g., vincristine sulfate). The concentration of the bioactive agent or agents dissolved or suspended in the coating mixture can range from about 0.01 to about 90 percent, by weight, based on the weight of the final coated composition. Additives such as inorganic salts, BSA (bovine serum albumin), and inert organic compounds can be used to alter the profile of bioactive agent release, as known to those skilled in the art.
In some embodiments, in order to provide a coating of the present invention, a coating composition is prepared to include one or more solvents, a combination of complementary polymers dissolved in the solvent, and the bioactive agent or agents dispersed in the polymer/solvent mixture. The solvent, in some embodiments, is one in which the polymers form a true solution. The pharmaceutical agent itself may either be soluble in the solvent or form a dispersion throughout the solvent. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, alcohols (e.g., methanol, butanol, propanol and isopropanol), alkanes (e.g., halogenated or unhalogenated alkanes such as hexane, cyclohexane, methylene chloride and chloroform), amides (e.g., dimethylformamide), ethers (e.g., tetrahydrofuran (THF ), dioxolane, and dioxane), ketones (e.g., methyl ethyl ketone), aromatic compounds (e.g., toluene and xylene), nitrites (e.g., acetonitrile) and esters (e.g., ethyl acetate). In some embodiments, THF and chloroform have been found to be effective solvents due to their excellent solvency for a variety of polymers and bioactive agents of the present invention.
A coating composition of this invention can be used to coat the surface of a variety of devices, and is particularly useful for those devices that will come in contact with aqueous systems. Such devices are coated with a coating composition adapted to release bioactive agent in a prolonged and controlled manner, generally beginning with the initial contact between the device surface and its aqueous environment.
The coated composition provides a means to deliver bioactive agents from a variety of biomaterial surfaces. Various biomaterials include those formed of synthetic polymers, including oligomers, homopolymers, and copolymers resulting from either addition or condensation polymerizations. Examples of suitable addition polymers include, but are not limited to, acrylics such as those polymerized from methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, glyceryl acrylate, glyceryl methacrylate, methacrylamide, and acrylamide; vinyls, such as those polymerized from ethylene, propylene, styrene, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrolidone, and vinylidene difluoride.
Examples of condensation polymers include, but are not limited to, nylons such as polycaprolactam, poly(lauryl lactam), poly(hexamethylene adipamide), and poly(hexamethylene dodecanediamide), and also polyurethanes, polycarbonates, polyamides, polysulfones, polyethylene terephthalate), poly(lactic acid), poly(glycolic acid), poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid), polydimethylsiloxanes, polyetheretherketone, poly(butylene terephthalate), poly(butylene terephthalate-co-polyethylene glycol terephthalate), esters with phosphorus containing linkages, non-peptide polyamino acid polymers, polyiminocarbonates, amino acid-derived polycarbonates and polyarylates, and copolymers of polyethylene oxides with amino acids or peptide sequences.
Certain natural materials are also suitable biomaterials, including human tissue such as bone, cartilage, skin and teeth; and other organic materials such as wood, cellulose, compressed carbon, and rubber. Other suitable biomaterials include metals and ceramics. The metals include, but are not limited to, titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt chromium. A second class of metals include the noble metals such as gold, silver, copper, and platinum. Alloys of metals, such as nitinol (e.g. MP35), may be suitable for biomaterials as well. The ceramics include, but are not limited to, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, zirconia, and alumina, as well as glass, silica, and sapphire. Yet other suitable biomaterials include combinations of ceramics and metals, as well as biomaterials that are fibrous or porous in nature.
Optionally, the surface of some biomaterials can be pretreated (e.g., with a silane and/or Parylene TM coating composition in one or more layers) in order to alter the surface properties of the biomaterial. For example, in various embodiments of the present invention a layer of silane may be applied to the surface of the biomaterial followed by a layer of ParleneTM. Parylene TM C is the polymeric form of the low-molecular-weight dimer of para-chloro-xylylene. Shane and/or Parylene TM C (a material supplied by Specialty Coating Systems (Indianapolis)) can be deposited as a continuous coating on a variety of medical device parts to provide an evenly distributed, transparent layer. In one embodiment, the deposition of Parylene TM is accomplished by a process termed vapor deposition polymerization, in which dimeric Parylene TM C is vaporized under vacuum at 150°C, pyrolyzed at 680°C to form a reactive monomer, then pumped into a chamber containing the component to be coated at 25°C. At the low chamber temperature, the monomeric xylylene is deposited on the part, where it immediately polymerizes via a free-radical process. The polymer coating reaches molecular weights of approximately 500 kilodaltons.
Deposition of the xylylene monomer takes place in only a moderate vacuum (0.1 torr) and is not line-of sight. That is, the monomer has the opportunity to surround all sides of the part to be coated, penetrating into crevices or tubes and coating sharp points and edges, creating what is called a "conformal" coating. With proper process control, it is possible to deposit a pinhole-free, insulating coating that will provide very low moisture permeability and high part protection to corrosive biological fluids.
Adherence is a function of the chemical nature of the surface to be coated. It has been reported, for instance, that tantalum and silicon surfaces can be overcoated with silicon dioxide, then with plasma-polymerized methane, and finally with Parylene TM C to achieve satisfactory adherence.
Most applications of Parylene TM C coating in the medical device industry are for protecting sensitive components from corrosive body fluids or for providing lubricity to surfaces. Typical anticorrosion applications include blood pressure sensors, cardiac-assist devices, prosthetic components, bone pins, electronic circuits, ultrasonic transducers, bone-growth stimulators, and brain probes. Applications to promote lubricity include mandrels, injection needles, cannulae, and catheters.
Also, as previously described above, the surface to which the composition is applied can itself be pretreated in other manners sufficient to improve attachment of the composition to the underlying (e.g., metallic) surface. Additional examples of such pretreatments include photografted polymers, epoxy primers, polycarboxylate resins, and physical roughening of the surface. It is further noted that the pretreatment compositions and/or techniques may be used in combination with each other or may be applied in separate layers to form a pretreatment coating on the surface of the medical device.
As described above, the surface of a medical device may be roughened to increase adhesion of the coating composition to the medical device and/or alter elution profiles.
Without intending to be bound by theory, the roughening of the surface provides for a greater surface area between the coating composition and the surface of the medical device, which may increase adhesion. Further, in embodiments with relatively aggressive roughening and/or relatively thin coatings, the peaks and valleys of the roughened surface may transfer through the coating composition, thereby increasing the surface area of the coating. Such increased surface area may alter the bioactive agent release profile in situ.
The surface of the medical device may be roughened by any suitable method. In some embodiments, the surface of the medical device may be roughened by projecting silica particles at the surface. The extent of the roughening may be characterized by peak to valley distances. For example, the extent of roughening may be characterized by the distance between the average of the ten highest peaks and the ten lowest valleys. In some embodiments, the extent of roughening may range from about 2 pm to about 20 Vim.
Optionally, the extent of roughening may range from about 5 pm to about 15 pm.
In some embodiments, the extent of roughening may range from about 6.5 ~m to about 12 Vim.
In some embodiments, a tie-in layer may be utilized to facilitate one or more physical and/or covalent bonds between layers. For example, the pretreatment layer may include a mufti-interface system to facilitate adhesion and cohesion interaction relative to the different materials positioned at the interface of each layer. For example, the application of Parylene pretreatments to metal surfaces may be aided by a first application of a reactive organosilane reagent. A reactive organosilane reagent containing an unsaturated pendant group is capable of participating with the Parylene radicals as they deposit on the surface from the vapor phase. After cleaning of the metal surface, an organosilane reagent with an unsaturated pendant group may be applied to the metal oxide surface on a metal substrate. Without intending to be bound by theory, it appears that the silicon in the organosilane reagent couples covalently to the metal oxide, linking the 5 organosilane group to the surface. The substrate may then be placed in a Parylene reactor and exposed to the vapor-phase Parylene process. During this process, the unsaturated pendant groups on the organosilane-treated surface can react with the Parylene diradicals depositing from the vapor phase. This forms a covalent link between the Parylene and the organosilane layer. The Parylene also forms covalent bonds to itself as it deposits. Thus, 10 this process yields a layered surface in which the layers are covalently bonded to each other. This forms a very strong bond between the Parylene and the metal surface, resulting in high durability to mechanical challenges. Further, in some embodiments, the Parylene may physically bond with the bioactive agent delivery coating or may include a reactive acrylate group that can be reacted with the bioactive agent delivery coating to 15 improve durability to mechanical challenges.

The suitability of the coating composition for use on a particular material, and in turn, the suitability of the coated composition can be evaluated by those skilled in the art, given the present description. In one such embodiment, for instance, the coating comprises at least two layers which are themselves different. For instance, a base layer may be applied having bioactive agents) alone, or together with or without one or more of the polymer components, after which one or more topcoat layers are coated, each with either first and/or second polymers as described herein, and with or without bioactive agent.

However, as previously suggested a pretreatment layer or layers may be first applied to the surface of the device, wherein subsequent coating with the composition may be performed onto the pretreatment layer(s).

Additionally, release layers may be applied to the coating composition of the present invention as a friction barrier layer or a layer to protect against delamination. Examples of biocompatible topcoats that may be used include those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. U.S. Patent No. 4,979,959 and 5,744,515.
Optionally, a hydrophilic topcoat may be provided. Such topcoats may provide several advantages, including providing a relatively more lubricious surface to aid in medical device placement in situ, as well as to further increase biocompatibility in some applications. Examples of hydrophilic agents that may be suitable for a topcoat in accordance with the invention includes polyacrylamide(36%)co-methacrylic acid(MA)-(10%)co-methoxy PEGl000MA-(4%)co-BBA-APMA compounds such as those described in example 4 of US Patent Application Publication No. 200210041899, photoheparin such as described in example 4 of US Patent No. 5,563,056, and a photoderivatized coating as described in Example 1 of US Patent No. 6,706,408, the contents of each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
In some embodiments, the topcoat may be used to control the elution rate of a bioactive agent from a medical device surface. For example, topcoats may be described as the weight of the topcoat relative to the weight of the underlying bioactive agent containing layer. For example, the topcoat may be about 1 percent to about 50 percent by weight relative to the underlying layer. In some embodiments, the topcoat may be about 2 percent to about 25 percent by weight relative to the underlying layer.
Optionally, in some embodiments, the topcoat may be about 5 percent to about 12 percent by weight relative to the underlying layer.
Applicants have found that providing a relatively thin topcoat compared to the underlying layer may significantly reduce initial drug elution rates to provide for longer elution times. For example, providing a topcoat weighing about 5% of the underlying layer may reduce initial elution rates (e.g., less than 20 hours) by more than about 50%.
In some embodiments, the topcoat layer comprises a polymer that is also included in the underlying layer (e.g., first, second, and/or additional polymers as described above).
Such topcoats may provide for superior adhesion between the top coat and the underlying layer.
Further, in some embodiments, one or more bioactive agents may be provided in a 10 topcoat (sometimes referred to herein as a topcoat bioactive agent). The topcoat bioactive agent may be the same as or distinguishable from the bioactive agent included in an underlying layer. Providing bioactive agent within the topcoat allows for the bioactive agent to be in contact with surrounding tissue in situ while providing a longer release profile compared to coating compositions provided without topcoats. Such topcoats may 15 also be used to further control the elution rate of a bioactive agent from a medical device surface, such as by varying the amount of bioactive agent in the topcoat. The degree to which the bioactive agent containing topcoat affects elution will depend on the specific bioactive agent within the topcoat as well as the concentration of the bioactive agent within the topcoat.
20 Any suitable amount of a bioactive agent may be included in the topcoat.
For example, the upper limit of the amount of bioactive agent in the topcoat may be limited only by the ability of the topcoat to hold additional bioactive agent. In some embodiments, the bioactive agent may comprise about 1 to about 75 percent of the topcoat. Optionally, the bioactive agent may comprise about 5 to about SO
percent of the 25 topcoat. In yet other embodiments, the bioactive agent may comprise about 10 to about 40 percent of the topcoat.
The polymer composition for use in this invention is generally biocompatible, e.g., such that it results in no significant induction of inflammation or irritation when implanted. In addition, the polymer combination is generally useful throughout a broad 30 spectrum of both absolute concentrations and relative concentrations of the polymers.
This means that the physical characteristics of the coating, such as tenacity, durability, flexibility and expandability, will typically be adequate over a broad range of polymer concentrations. In turn, the ability of the coating to control the release rates of a variety of bioactive agents can be manipulated by varying the absolute and relative concentrations of the polymers.
Additionally, the coatings of the present invention are generally hydrophobic and limit the intake of aqueous fluids. For example, many embodiments of the present invention are coating compositions including two or more hydrophobic polymers wherein the resulting coating shows <10% (wt) weight change when exposed to water, and in some embodiments <5% (wt) weight change when exposed to water.
A coating composition can be provided in any suitable form, e.g., in the form of a true solution, or fluid or paste-like emulsion, mixture, dispersion or blend.
In some embodiments, polymer combinations of this invention are capable of being provided in the form of a true solution, and in turn, can be used to provide a coating that is both optically clear (upon microscopic examination), while also containing a significant amount of bioactive agent. In turn, the coated composition will generally result from the removal of solvents or other volatile components and/or other physical-chemical actions (e.g., heating or illuminating) affecting the coated composition in situ upon the surface.
A further example of a coating composition embodiment may include a configuration of one or more bioactive agents within an inner matrix structure, for example, bioactive agents within or delivered from a degradable encapsulating matrix or a microparticle structure formed of semipermeable cells and/or degradable polymers. One or more inner matrices may be placed in one or more locations within the coating composition and at one or more locations in relation to the substrate.
Examples of inner matrices, for example degradable encapsulating matrices formed of semipermeable cells and/or degradable polymers, are disclosed and/or suggested in U.S. Publication No.

The overall weight of the coating upon the surface may vary depending on the application. However, in some embodiments, the weight of the coating attributable to the bioactive agent is in the range of about one microgram to about 10 milligram (mg) of bioactive agent per cmz of the effective surface area of the device. By "effective" surface area it is meant the surface amenable to being coated with the composition itself. For a flat, nonporous, surface, for instance, this will generally be the macroscopic, surface area itself, while for considerably more porous or convoluted (e.g., corrugated, pleated, or fibrous) surfaces the effective surface area can be significantly greater than the corresponding macroscopic surface area. In various embodiments, the weight of the coating attributable to the bioactive agent is between about 0.005 mg and about 10 mg, and in some embodiments between about 0.01 mg and about 1 mg of bioactive agent per cm2 of the gross surface area of the device. This quantity of bioactive agent is generally required to provide desired activity under physiological conditions.
In turn, in various embodiments, the final coating thickness of a coated composition will typically be in the range of about 0.1 micrometers to about micrometers, and in some embodiments, between about 0.5 micrometers and about micrometers. This level of coating thickness is generally required to provide an adequate concentration of drug to provide adequate activity under physiological conditions.
The invention will be further described with reference to the following non-limiting Examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes can be made in the embodiments described without departing from the scope of the present invention. Thus the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments described in this application, but only by the embodiments described by the language of the claims and the equivalents of those embodiments. Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages are by weight.
EXAMPLES
TEST PROCEDURES
The potential suitability of particular coated compositions for in vivo use can be determined by a variety of screening methods, examples of each of which are described herein. Not all of these test procedures were used in connection with the example included in this application, but they are described here to enable consistent comparison of coatings in accordance with the invention.
Sample Preparation Procedure Stainless steel stems used in the following examples were manufactured by Laserage Technology Corporation, Waukegan, IL. In some cases, the metal surface of the stems may be coated without any pretreatment beyond washing. In other cases, a primer may be applied to the stems by first cleaning the stems with aqueous base, then pre-treating with a silane followed by vapor deposition of ParyleneTM polymer. The silane used may be [3-(methacroyloxy)propyl] trimethoxysilane, available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 44,015-9. The silane may be applied as essentially a monolayer by mixing the silane at a low concentration in 50/50 (vol) isopropanol/water, soaking the stems in the aqueous silane solution for a suitable length of time to allow the water to hydrolyze the silane and produce some cross-linking, washing off residual silane, then baking the silane-treated stmt at 100°C for conventional periods of time. Following the silane treatment, ParyleneTM C coating (available from Union Carbide Corporation, Danbury, CT) may be vapor-deposited at a thickness of about 1 mm. Prior to coating, the stems should be weighed on a microbalance to determine a tare weight.
Bioactive agent/polymer solutions may be prepared at a range of concentrations in an appropriate solvent (typically tetrahydrofuran or chloroform), in the manner described herein. In all cases the coating solutions are applied to respective stems by spraying, and the solvent is allowed to evaporate under ambient conditions. The coated stems are then re-weighed to determine the mass of coating and consequently the mass of polymer and bioactive agent.
Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure The Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure, as described herein, was used to determine the extent and rate of release of an exemplary bioactive agent, rapamycin, under in vitro elution conditions. Spray-coated stems prepared using the Sample Preparation Procedure were placed in sample baskets into 10 milliliters of SotaxTM
dissolution system (elution media containing 2% (wt) surfactant/water solution, available from Sotax Corporation, Horsham, PA). Amount of bioactive agent elution was monitored by UV
spectrometry over the course of several days. The elution media was held at 37°C. After the elution measurements, the stems were removed, rinsed, dried, and weighed to compare measured bioactive agent elution to weighed mass loss.
Dexamethasone Release Assay Procedure The Dexamethasone Release Assay Procedure, as described herein, may be used to determine the extent and rate of dexamethasone release under in vitro conditions. Spray-coated stems made using the Sample Preparation Procedure are placed in 10 milliliters of pH 7 phosphate buffer solution ("PBS") contained in an amber vial. A magnetic stirrer bar is added to the vial, and the vial with its contents are placed into a 37°C water bath.
After a sample interval, the stmt is removed and placed into a new buffer solution contained in a new vial. Dexamethasone concentration in the buffer is measured using ultraviolet spectroscopy and the concentration converted to mass of bioactive agent released from the coating. After the experiment, the stmt is dried and weighed to correlate actual mass loss to the loss measured by the elution experiment.
Durability Test Procedure The durability of the coated composition can be determined by the following manner. To simulate use of the coated devices, the coated stems are placed over sample angioplasty balloons. The stmt is then crimped onto the balloon using a laboratory test crimper (available from Machine Solutions, Brooklyn, NY). The stmt and balloon are then placed in a phosphate buffer bath having a pH of 7.4 and temperature of 37°C. After S minutes of soaking, the balloon is expanded using air at 5 atmospheres (3800 torr) of pressure. The balloon is then deflated, and the stmt is removed.
The stmt is then examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy to determine the amount of coating damage caused by cracking and/or delamination and a rating may be assigned. Coatings with extensive damage are considered unacceptable for a commercial medical device. The "Rating" is a qualitatitive scale used to describe the amount of damage to the coating from the stmt crimping and expansion procedure based on optical microscopy examination by an experienced coating engineer. A low rating indicates a large percentage of the coating cracked, smeared, and/or delaminated from the surface. For example, a coating with a rating of ten shows no damage while one with a rating of 1 will show a majority of the coating damaged to the point where clinical efficacy maybe diminished. Commercially attractive coatings typically have a rating of nine or higher.
Stress-Strain Measurement Test Procedure Polymer films can be prepared by hot pressing polymer beads at 100°C in a constant film maker kit to a thickness of approximately 0.5 mm. The resulting films are cut into strips using a razor blade. A Q800 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (available from 5 Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX) may be fitted with a film tension clamp. Each sample is equilibrated at 35°C for five minutes prior to straining the sample.
Then the sample is loaded into the clamp such that the sample length is between 5 and 7 mm in length. A
static force of O.O1N is applied to each sample throughout the measurements.
Simultaneously, a 0.5 N/min force is applied to the sample until the movable clamp 10 reaches its maximum position. Films are elongated at constant stress and the average tensile modulus (i.e., the initial slope of the stress-strain curve, in MPa) can be determined.

Results, provided in Figure 3, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PIB and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein.
Example 4 Release of RapamYcin from Polystyrene-co-butadiene and Poly~butyl methacrylate) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. The solutions included mixtures of polystyrene-co-butadiene) copolymer ("SBR", available from Scientific Polymer Products, Inc. Catalog #100, contains 23% (wt) styrene), poly(butyl methacrylate) ("PBMA", available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No.
18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons), and rapamycin ("RAPA", available from LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA) dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The stems were not given a primer pre-treatment.

2) 10 mg/ml SBR / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mglml RAPA
3) 4 mg/ml SBR / 16 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA

Results, provided in Figure 4, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of SBR and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein.
Example 5 Release of Rapamycin from Polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) and Poly(butyl methacrXlate) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. All three solutions included mixtures of polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA", available from Focus Chemical Corp. Portsmouth, NH, containing 28% (wt) methyl acrylate), poly(butyl methacrylate) ("PBMA", available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons), and rapamycin ("RAPA", available from LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to form a homogeneous solution.

Results, provided in Figure 5, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PEMA and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein.
The lines in Figure 5 and similar figures are expressed in terms of percent by weight of the first and second polymers, respectively, in the coated compositions. This can be compared to the amounts provided above, which are stated in terms of "mg/ml" of the respective polymers in the coating compositions themselves, which are applied to the stems. Hence "54/13" corresponds to the coated compositions that results from the use of the first coating composition above, which upon removal of the solvent provides a coated composition having 54% PEMA and 13% PBMA respectively, by weight.
Alternatively, solutions such as the second solution above, e.g., which includes equal amounts (by weight) of the ingredients, will alternatively be referred to herein as "33/33/33", representing the weight ratio of ingredients to each other.
Example 6 Release of Dexamethasone from Poly(ethXlene-co-methyl acrylate) and Poly(butyl methacr~) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. All three solutions included mixtures of polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA"), poly(butyl methacrylate) "PBMA", and dexamethasone ("DEXA", available as Product No. 86,187-1 from Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals) dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The stems were not given a primer pre-treatment. The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1 ) 20 mg/ml PEMA / 0 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
2) 10 mg/ml PEMA / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
3) 0 mg/ml PEMA / 20 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Dexamethasone Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 6, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of dexamethasone, a pharmaceutical agent, from a stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PEMA and PBMA in the polymer mixture.
Example 7 Surface Characterization of Coated Stents after Crimping and Expansion Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, stems were sprayed with a coating of second polymer/poly(butyl methacrylate)("PBMA")/rapamycin("RAPA"), mixed at a weight ratio of 33/33/33 at 10 mg/ml each of THF. The first polymer was poly(ethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA", available from Focus Chemical Corp. Portsmouth, NH, containing 28% (wt) methyl acrylate). The second polymer used was PBMA from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons. Stems were either used as received (i.e., uncoated metal), were pre-treated with a silane/ParyleneTM primer using the primer procedure described in the Sample Preparation Procedure, were not pre-treated with primer but were given a subsequent PBMA topcoat using the spraying process described in the Sample Preparation Procedure, or were given both a silane/ParyleneTM
pre-treatment primer and subsequent PBMA topcoat.
After preparing the coated stems and allowing all solvents to dry at ambient conditions, the stems were examined with an optical microscope under both "bright field"
and "dark field" conditions. All coatings were optically transparent (i.e., clear, showing no cloudiness). Raman microscopy taken of the coated stems of PEMA as first polymer, 5 applied to bare metal stmt, indicated a high degree of homogeneity of mixing of drug and polymers.
The coated stems were crimped down on balloons and were expanded following the Durability Test Procedure, which showed that, overall, all the coatings remained intact (i.e., the coating did not peel off or flake off, etc.), with only a few localized sites where 10 coating delaminated from the metal stmt. When primer coatings were used, essentially no delamination was evident and cracks were all smaller than about 10 microns in width.
Almost all stems had some degree of cracking of the coating around bends in the struts, as well as some mechanical damage caused by handling or balloon expansion. Adding a PBMA topcoat did not adversely affect the mechanical integrity of the coating on the stmt 15 after crimping and expansion, as might be expected with an overall thicker stmt coating.
Based on both the drug-eluting test results and mechanical test results, coatings containing bioactive agents incorporated into blends of PBMA with PEMA as the first polymer are viable candidates for commercial applications in drug-eluting stems and are expected to be particularly effective in minimizing the onset of restenosis after stmt 20 implantation.
Example 8 and Comparative Example C 1 Stress-Strain Measurements for First and/or Additional Polymers Tensile properties of various first polymers and additional polymers of this 25 invention were tested and average tensile modulus calculated using the Stress-Strain Measurement Test Procedure. The first and/or additional polymers evaluated were polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA", same as used in Example 5), poly(ethylene-co-butyl acrylate) ("PEBA", containing 35% (wt) butyl acrylate, available from Focus Chemical Corp., Portsmouth, NH), polybutadiene ("PBD", available from Scientific 30 Polymers Products, Inc., Ontario, NY, as Catalog # 688; CAS #31567-90-5; 7%
cis 1,4;
93% vinyl 1,2; Mw approx. 100 kilodaltons) and polyethylene-co-vinyl acetate) ("PEVA", available as Product No. 34,691-8 from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals).
PEVA was run as a comparative example.
Stress-strain curves are shown in Figure 7. The calculated average tensile modulus for each of the tested polymers is shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Average Tensile Example Polymer Modulus, MPa (SD) 8a PEMA 5.54 (0.49) 8b PEBA 3.66 (0.67) 8c PBD 34.87 (4.83) C 1 PEVA 2.17 (0.46 The data from Table 1 show that, when compared to PEVA, each of the first polymers showed a higher average tensile modulus. The average tensile modulus for the PBD was significantly higher than that for any of the other polymers.
Example 9 Raman Microscopy Raman measurements were made with a WITec CRM200 scanning confocal Raman microscope. The Raman microscope can optically dissect a layer of coating on a stmt, looking into the coating and imaging the distribution of the coating composition ingredients within the thin coating. Since no Raman signal is obtained from air and steel materials, the air above the coating surface is black as is the steel substrate upon which the coating is deposited.
Figure 8 shows a 100 micron wide and 10 micron deep image (including a 10 micron bar in the lower left-hand corner for scale) taken by measuring the Raman intensity at 2900 cm ~ for a stmt with a 33/33/33 PEMA/PBMA/rapamycin coating.
Since each of the composition ingredients, including first and second polymers as well as bioactive agent, contribute signal at this wavenumber, the image obtained is one of the entire coating. Figure 9 shows Raman intensity at 1630 cm 1 for the same region of stmt coating shown in Figure 8. When measuring the Raman intensity at 1630 cm-~, only the intensity of the bioactive agent signal is measured (the first and second polymers do not emit at this wavenumber), and so an image of the distribution of the bioactive agent within the coating is obtained (Figure 9).
Comparison of Figures 8 and 9 indicates that the bioactive agent is uniformly distributed within the entire coating, since the intensity of the Raman signal of the agent varies only subtly from one region of the coating to another. Similar results are seen with other compositions of the present invention.
Example 10 Release of Rapamycin from Poly~butadiene) and Poly(but~,l methacr~ate) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. The solutions included mixtures of poly(1,2-butadiene) ("PBD", available from Scientific Polymers Products, Inc., Ontario, NY, as Catalog # 688; CAS #31567-90-5; 7% cis 1,4; 93% vinyl 1,2; Mw approx. 100 kilodaltons), poly(butyl methacrylate) ("PBMA", available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons), and rapamycin ("RAPA", available from LC
Laboratories, Woburn, MA) dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The scents were not given a primer pre-treatment.
The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1) 16 mg/ml PBD / 4 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
2) 10 mgiml PBD / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mglml RAPA
3) 4 mg/ml PBD / 16 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 10, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PBD and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein. The lines in Figure 10 and similar figures are expressed in terms of percent by weight of the first and second polymers, respectively, in the coated compositions. This can be compared to the amounts provided above, which are stated in terms of "mg/ml" of the respective polymers in the coating compositions themselves, which are applied to the stems. Hence "54/13"
corresponds to the coated compositions that results from the use of the first coating composition above, which upon removal of the solvent provides a coated composition having 54% PBD and 13% PBMA respectively, by weight. Alternatively, solutions such as the second solution above, e.g., which includes equal amounts (by weight) of the ingredients, will alternatively be referred to herein as "33/33/33", representing the weight ratio of ingredients to each other.
Additionally, the durability for PBD/PBMA coatings was also analyzed. Stems were coated with PBD and PBMA in a procedure as described above but without any bioactive agent. The stems were then tested according to the method described in the Durability Test Procedure section. The results are displayed in Figure 10A.
The PBD/PBMA coatings showed very little damage in the form of some small cracks that did not appear to reach the stmt surface. These coatings were applied to bare metal stems before ethylene oxide sterilization ("sterilization"), Parylene TM coated stems before sterilization, and Parylene TM coated stems after sterilization. These were labeled in Figure 10A "Bare Metal Pre-Sterile," "Parylene Pre-Sterile," and "Parylene Post-Sterile,"
respectively. Parylene TM treatments and sterilization had little effect on the exceptional durability of the PBD/PBMA coatings.
Example 11 Release of Rapamycin from Poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) and Poly~butyl methacr~) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. The solutions included mixtures of poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) ("PBDA," available from Scientific Polymer Products, Inc., Catalog #533, contains 41% (wt) acrylonitrile), "PBMA" and "RAPA"
("PBMA" and "RAPA" were obtained and used as described in Example 1) dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The stems were not given a primer pre-treatment.
The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1) 16 mg/ml PBDA / 4 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
2) 10 mg/ml PBDA / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
3) 4 mg/ml PBDA / 16 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 11, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PBDA and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein.
Example 12 Release of Dexamethasone from Poly(butadiene~and Pol~(butyl methacr~ate) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. All three solutions included mixtures of poly(1,2-butadiene) "PBD", poly(butyl methyl acrylate) ("PBMA"), and dexamethasone ("DEXA") dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The stems were not given a primer pre-treatment.
The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1) 20 mg/ml PBD / 0 mg/ml PBMA l 10 mg/ml DEXA
2) 10 mg/ml PBD / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
3) 0 mglml PBD / 20 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Dexamethasone Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 12, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of dexamethasone, a pharmaceutical agent, from a stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PBD and PBMA in the polymer mixture.
Example 13 Surface Characterization of Coated Stents after Crimping and Expansion Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, stems were sprayed with a coating of second polymer/poly(butyl methacrylate)("PBMA")/rapamycin("RAPA"), mixed at a weight ratio of 33/33/33 at 10 mg/ml each of THF. The first polymer was polybutadiene ("PBD", available from Scientific Polymers Products, Inc., Ontario, NY, as Catalog # 688;
CAS #31567-90-5; 7% cis 1,4; 93% vinyl 1,2; Mw approx. 100 kilodaltons), and a polymer from the additional polymer class was polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA", available from Focus Chemical Corp. Portsmouth, NH, containing 28%
(wt) methyl acrylate). The second polymer used was PBMA from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons. Stems were either used as received (i.e., uncoated metal), were pre-treated with a silane/ParyleneTM primer using the primer procedure described in the Sample Preparation Procedure, were not pre-treated with primer but were given a subsequent PBMA topcoat using the spraying process described in the Sample Preparation Procedure, or were given both a silane/ParyleneTM pre-treatment primer and subsequent 5 PBMA topcoat.
After preparing the coated stems and allowing all solvents to dry at ambient conditions, the stems were examined with an optical microscope under both "bright field"
and "dark field" conditions. All coatings were optically transparent (i.e., clear, showing no cloudiness). Raman microscopy taken of the coated stems of (PEMA as the additional 10 polymer, applied to bare metal stmt) and (PBD as the first polymer, applied to bare metal stmt) indicated a high degree of homogeneity of mixing of drug and polymers.
The coated stems were crimped down on balloons and were expanded following the Durability Test Procedure, which showed that, overall, all the coatings remained intact (i.e., the coating did not peel off or flake off, etc.), with only a few localized sites where 15 coating delaminated from the metal stmt. When primer coatings were used, essentially no delamination was evident and cracks were all smaller than about 10 microns in width.
Almost all stems had some degree of cracking of the coating around bends in the struts, as well as some mechanical damage caused by handling or balloon expansion. Adding a PBMA topcoat did not adversely affect the mechanical integrity of the coating on the stmt 20 after crimping and expansion, as might be expected with an overall thicker stmt coating.
Based on both the drug-eluting test results and mechanical test results, coatings containing bioactive agents incorporated into blends of PBMA with either PEMA
or PBD
as the other polymer are viable candidates for commercial applications in drug-eluting stems and are expected to be particularly effective in minimizing the onset of restenosis 25 after stmt implantation.
Example 14 Scanning Electron Microscopy Scanning Electron Microscopy can be used to observe coating quality and 30 uniformity on stems at any suitable point in their manufacture or use.
Crimped and expanded stems were examined for coating failures in fine microscopic detail using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at magnifications varying from ISOX to 5000X.
Various coating defects tend to affect the manufacture and use of most polymer coated stems in commercial use today, including the appearance of cracks or tears within the coating, smearing or displacement of the coating, as well as potentially even delamination of the coating in whole or in part. Such defects can occur upon formation of the coating itself, or more commonly, in the course of its further fabrication, including crimping the stmt upon an inflatable balloon, or in surgical use, which would include manipulating the stmt and expanding the balloon to position the stmt in vivo.
Figure 13 shows a scanning electron microscope image from a LEO Supra-35 VP
at 250X of a 33/33/33 PBD/PBMA/rapamycin coating on a stmt after conventional crimping and balloon expansion procedures. The image shows that the coated composition maintains integrity after expansion, showing no evidence of delamination or cracks.
When observed by SEM, many other compositions tended to show cracks, however, typically of a type and number that are certainly on par with those in commercial use today, and would tend to be well within acceptable range, particularly considering that neither the coating compositions, or manner of applying particular compositions, have yet been optimized for any particular combination of surface, polymers, bioactive agent. The cracks were typically a few microns in width, with thin strands of polymer stretching between the edges of the crack. Overall, however, the coatings looked smooth, uniform, and in good condition.
Almost all the stems had some degree of cracking of the coating around bends in the struts, as well as some mechanical damage caused by handling or balloon expansion.
Most surprisingly, polybutadiene-containing coatings exhibited less cracking and in one case no cracks, and when cracks occurred, they were typically smaller in size in comparison with the cracks found in PEMA or PEVA-containing coatings. For comparison, cracks which opened up and delaminated from the metal stmt surface were found in coatings containing PEMA and PEVA in the absence of a Parylene TM
primer coating. Polybutadiene-containing coatings without Parylene TM primer, as well as comparative PEMA (or comparative PEVA)-containing coatings with Parylene TM
primer, showed cracks which tended to not result in delamination.
Example 15 Release of Rapamycin from Poly(butadiene) and Poly~butyl methac~late) provided with a Topcoat Several solutions were prepared for coating non-sterile, non-deployed, self expanding nitinol coronary stems having a primer layer. The solutions included mixtures of poly(1,2-butadiene) ("PBD", available from Scientific Polymers Products, Inc., Ontario, NY), poly(butyl methacrylate) ("PBMA", available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals), and rapamycin ("RAPA", available from LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA) dissolved to form a homogeneous solution. In addition, a topcoat of PBMA was also prepared and applied to the coating composition on some of the stems, and the elution rate profiles into a 2% SLS buffer on a Sotax USP IV Apparatus were determined.
Results, provided in Figure 14, illustrates several elution rates of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of rapamycin, PBD, and PBMA with and without utilizing a topcoat. Further, Figure demonstrates the ability to control the elution rate of a bioactive agent by varying the amount of topcoat provided relative to the coating composition.
The lines in Figure 14 and Figure 15 are expressed in terms of percent by weight of the Rapamycin, PBD, and PBMA, respectively, in the coated compositions. Hence "40/30/30" corresponds to the coated compositions that results from the use of 40%
Rapamycin, 30% PBD, and 30% PBMA, respectively, by weight. In Figure 15, the weight of the topcoat relative to the weight of the coating composition is shown. For example, 6% topcoat corresponds to an amount of topcoat totaling 6% by weight of the coating composition weight.
Example 16 Release of Sirolimus from Polv(Butadiene) and Poly~butyl methacrylate) with Poly~but,~l methacrylate) and Sirolimus Topcoats Stainless steel BX velocity stems manufactured by Cordis Corporation, Miami Lakes, FL were used in the following examples. The stems were Parylene treated and weighted before coating.
Bioactive agent/polymer solutions were prepared at a range of concentrations in an appropriate solvent, in the manner described herein. The coating solutions were applied to respective stems by spraying procedures using an ultrasonic sprayer as described in U.S.
Published Application 2004/0062875 (Chappa et al.); and in U.S. Application Serial No.
11/102,465, filed April 8, 2005 and entitled "Medical Devices and Methods for Producing Same." After spraying application of the bioactive agent/polymer solution, the solvent was allowed to evaporate. The coated stems were weighed to determine the mass of coating and consequently the mass of polymer and bioactive agent. The coating thickness can be measured using any suitable means, e.g. optical interferometry.
The Bioactive Agent Release Assay, as described herein, was used to determine the extent and rate of drug release in vitro conditions. A Sotax dissolution system (Sotax Corporation, Horsham, PA) was utilized. The system used a 2wt%
surfactant/water solution as elution media. The coated stems were placed in the sample baskets, and the drug elution monitored by UV spectrometry over the course of several days. The elution media was held at 37°C. After the elution measurement, the stems were removed, rinsed, dried, and weighed to compare measured drug elution to mass loss.
One basecoat solution was prepared for coating the stems. This solution included mixtures of "PBD" poly(butadiene), "PBMA" poly(butyl methacrylate), and sirolimus dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The basecoat solution contained 6 mg/ml PBD, 6 mg/ml PBMA, and 6 mg/ml Sirolimus for a total "solids" concentration of 18 mg/ml.
Stems were coated with approximately 435 micrograms of total coating. The basecoat was allowed to dry before the topcoats were applied.
The following THF solutions were used for the topcoats:
1 ) 18 mg/ml PBMA and 2 mg/ml Sirolimus 2) 12 mg/ml PBMA and 8 mg/ml Sirolimus 3) 20 mg/ml PBMA
Average topcoat weights were 121 micrograms, and two stems were spray-coated using each solution.
After the solvent was removed by evaporation, drug elution was tested via the bioactive agent release assay described above. The results are provided in Figure 16 where curve 1 is basecoat only, curve 2 is topcoat applied using coating solution 1, curve 3 is topcoat applied using coating solution 2, and curve 4 is topcoat applied using coating solution 3. These curves demonstrated the ability to control the elution rate of a bioactive agent from a medical device surface by varying the amount of bioactive agent in the topcoat.
Example 17 Pretreating the Surface of Medical Device by Roughening Eye coils were roughened by blasting 50 ~m silica particles at the surface of the coils under high pressure and velocity. The roughness of the coil surfaces, particularly the peak to valley distance, was measured with the VSI (Vertical Scanning Interferometry) mode of an Optical Interferometer.
Roughness tests were taken over areas approximately 155 ~m x 120 pm on the top of each turn in the coils, as shown in Figures 17 and 18. Three roughness tests were taken on one side of the coil, then the coil was rotated 180° and three more tests were taken on the other side of the coil.
The VSI mode of the optical interferometer was used to look at the surface topography of uncoated eye coils over an area approximately 155 um x 120 Vim.
Three separate areas were measured on each coil on two sides of each coil, to get an average for each. Each measurement comprised of a 30 ~m scan to acquire the raw data, after which Ra, Rt, and RZ roughness parameters were calculated. Ra, the roughness average, is the arithmetic mean of the absolute values of the surface departures from the mean plane. Rt, the maximum height (peak to valley distance), is the vertical distance between the highest and lowest points over the entire dataset (highest and lowest single pixels), RZ, the average maximum height (average peak to valley distance), is the average of the difference of the ten highest and ten lowest points in the dataset (10 highest and 10 lowest pixels at least 4.6 pm apart from each other laterally). The RZ value measures the average peak to valley distance from multiple locations to prevent a misrepresentation of the data caused by single data pixels that are random noise, or uncommon surface features like scratches or pits. As shown below in Figures 19A and B, tilt and curvature of the surface were removed in order to compare the relative surface finish of each coil.
Table 2 shows the roughness statistics for coil 1, and Table 3 shows the roughness statistics for coil 2.
Figure 20A shows a surface plot of test A-2 of coil 1, and Figure 20B shows a representation of Figure 20A. Figure 21 A shows a surface plot of test A-2 of coil 2, and Figure 21B shows a 3D representation of Figure 21A.

Other embodiments of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of this specification or from practice of the invention disclosed herein.
Various omissions, modifications, and changes to the principles and embodiments described herein may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the true scope and spirit of the invention which is indicated by the following claims.
All patents, 10 patent documents, and publications cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference as if individually incorporated.
In some embodiments, the topcoat layer comprises a polymer that is also included in the underlying layer (e.g., first, second, and/or additional polymers as described above).
Such topcoats may provide for superior adhesion between the top coat and the underlying layer.
Further, in some embodiments, one or more bioactive agents may be provided in a 10 topcoat (sometimes referred to herein as a topcoat bioactive agent). The topcoat bioactive agent may be the same as or distinguishable from the bioactive agent included in an underlying layer. Providing bioactive agent within the topcoat allows for the bioactive agent to be in contact with surrounding tissue in situ while providing a longer release profile compared to coating compositions provided without topcoats. Such topcoats may 15 also be used to further control the elution rate of a bioactive agent from a medical device surface, such as by varying the amount of bioactive agent in the topcoat. The degree to which the bioactive agent containing topcoat affects elution will depend on the specific bioactive agent within the topcoat as well as the concentration of the bioactive agent within the topcoat.
20 Any suitable amount of a bioactive agent may be included in the topcoat.
For example, the upper limit of the amount of bioactive agent in the topcoat may be limited only by the ability of the topcoat to hold additional bioactive agent. In some embodiments, the bioactive agent may comprise about 1 to about 75 percent of the topcoat. Optionally, the bioactive agent may comprise about 5 to about SO
percent of the 25 topcoat. In yet other embodiments, the bioactive agent may comprise about 10 to about 40 percent of the topcoat.
The polymer composition for use in this invention is generally biocompatible, e.g., such that it results in no significant induction of inflammation or irritation when implanted. In addition, the polymer combination is generally useful throughout a broad 30 spectrum of both absolute concentrations and relative concentrations of the polymers.
This means that the physical characteristics of the coating, such as tenacity, durability, flexibility and expandability, will typically be adequate over a broad range of polymer concentrations. In turn, the ability of the coating to control the release rates of a variety of bioactive agents can be manipulated by varying the absolute and relative concentrations of the polymers.
Additionally, the coatings of the present invention are generally hydrophobic and limit the intake of aqueous fluids. For example, many embodiments of the present invention are coating compositions including two or more hydrophobic polymers wherein the resulting coating shows <10% (wt) weight change when exposed to water, and in some embodiments <5% (wt) weight change when exposed to water.
A coating composition can be provided in any suitable form, e.g., in the form of a true solution, or fluid or paste-like emulsion, mixture, dispersion or blend.
In some embodiments, polymer combinations of this invention are capable of being provided in the form of a true solution, and in turn, can be used to provide a coating that is both optically clear (upon microscopic examination), while also containing a significant amount of bioactive agent. In turn, the coated composition will generally result from the removal of solvents or other volatile components and/or other physical-chemical actions (e.g., heating or illuminating) affecting the coated composition in situ upon the surface.
A further example of a coating composition embodiment may include a configuration of one or more bioactive agents within an inner matrix structure, for example, bioactive agents within or delivered from a degradable encapsulating matrix or a microparticle structure formed of semipermeable cells and/or degradable polymers. One or more inner matrices may be placed in one or more locations within the coating composition and at one or more locations in relation to the substrate.
Examples of inner matrices, for example degradable encapsulating matrices formed of semipermeable cells and/or degradable polymers, are disclosed and/or suggested in U.S. Publication No.

Publication No.
20040203075, filed April 10, 2003, U.S. Publication No. 20044202774 filed on April 10, 2003, and U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10/723,505, filed November 26, 2003, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The overall weight of the coating upon the surface may vary depending on the application. However, in some embodiments, the weight of the coating attributable to the bioactive agent is in the range of about one microgram to about 10 milligram (mg) of bioactive agent per cmz of the effective surface area of the device. By "effective" surface area it is meant the surface amenable to being coated with the composition itself. For a flat, nonporous, surface, for instance, this will generally be the macroscopic, surface area itself, while for considerably more porous or convoluted (e.g., corrugated, pleated, or fibrous) surfaces the effective surface area can be significantly greater than the corresponding macroscopic surface area. In various embodiments, the weight of the coating attributable to the bioactive agent is between about 0.005 mg and about 10 mg, and in some embodiments between about 0.01 mg and about 1 mg of bioactive agent per cm2 of the gross surface area of the device. This quantity of bioactive agent is generally required to provide desired activity under physiological conditions.
In turn, in various embodiments, the final coating thickness of a coated composition will typically be in the range of about 0.1 micrometers to about micrometers, and in some embodiments, between about 0.5 micrometers and about micrometers. This level of coating thickness is generally required to provide an adequate concentration of drug to provide adequate activity under physiological conditions.
The invention will be further described with reference to the following non-limiting Examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes can be made in the embodiments described without departing from the scope of the present invention. Thus the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments described in this application, but only by the embodiments described by the language of the claims and the equivalents of those embodiments. Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages are by weight.
EXAMPLES
TEST PROCEDURES
The potential suitability of particular coated compositions for in vivo use can be determined by a variety of screening methods, examples of each of which are described herein. Not all of these test procedures were used in connection with the example included in this application, but they are described here to enable consistent comparison of coatings in accordance with the invention.
Sample Preparation Procedure Stainless steel stems used in the following examples were manufactured by Laserage Technology Corporation, Waukegan, IL. In some cases, the metal surface of the stems may be coated without any pretreatment beyond washing. In other cases, a primer may be applied to the stems by first cleaning the stems with aqueous base, then pre-treating with a silane followed by vapor deposition of ParyleneTM polymer. The silane used may be [3-(methacroyloxy)propyl] trimethoxysilane, available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 44,015-9. The silane may be applied as essentially a monolayer by mixing the silane at a low concentration in 50/50 (vol) isopropanol/water, soaking the stems in the aqueous silane solution for a suitable length of time to allow the water to hydrolyze the silane and produce some cross-linking, washing off residual silane, then baking the silane-treated stmt at 100°C for conventional periods of time. Following the silane treatment, ParyleneTM C coating (available from Union Carbide Corporation, Danbury, CT) may be vapor-deposited at a thickness of about 1 mm. Prior to coating, the stems should be weighed on a microbalance to determine a tare weight.
Bioactive agent/polymer solutions may be prepared at a range of concentrations in an appropriate solvent (typically tetrahydrofuran or chloroform), in the manner described herein. In all cases the coating solutions are applied to respective stems by spraying, and the solvent is allowed to evaporate under ambient conditions. The coated stems are then re-weighed to determine the mass of coating and consequently the mass of polymer and bioactive agent.
Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure The Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure, as described herein, was used to determine the extent and rate of release of an exemplary bioactive agent, rapamycin, under in vitro elution conditions. Spray-coated stems prepared using the Sample Preparation Procedure were placed in sample baskets into 10 milliliters of SotaxTM
dissolution system (elution media containing 2% (wt) surfactant/water solution, available from Sotax Corporation, Horsham, PA). Amount of bioactive agent elution was monitored by UV
spectrometry over the course of several days. The elution media was held at 37°C. After the elution measurements, the stems were removed, rinsed, dried, and weighed to compare measured bioactive agent elution to weighed mass loss.
Dexamethasone Release Assay Procedure The Dexamethasone Release Assay Procedure, as described herein, may be used to determine the extent and rate of dexamethasone release under in vitro conditions. Spray-coated stems made using the Sample Preparation Procedure are placed in 10 milliliters of pH 7 phosphate buffer solution ("PBS") contained in an amber vial. A magnetic stirrer bar is added to the vial, and the vial with its contents are placed into a 37°C water bath.
After a sample interval, the stmt is removed and placed into a new buffer solution contained in a new vial. Dexamethasone concentration in the buffer is measured using ultraviolet spectroscopy and the concentration converted to mass of bioactive agent released from the coating. After the experiment, the stmt is dried and weighed to correlate actual mass loss to the loss measured by the elution experiment.
Durability Test Procedure The durability of the coated composition can be determined by the following manner. To simulate use of the coated devices, the coated stems are placed over sample angioplasty balloons. The stmt is then crimped onto the balloon using a laboratory test crimper (available from Machine Solutions, Brooklyn, NY). The stmt and balloon are then placed in a phosphate buffer bath having a pH of 7.4 and temperature of 37°C. After S minutes of soaking, the balloon is expanded using air at 5 atmospheres (3800 torr) of pressure. The balloon is then deflated, and the stmt is removed.
The stmt is then examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy to determine the amount of coating damage caused by cracking and/or delamination and a rating may be assigned. Coatings with extensive damage are considered unacceptable for a commercial medical device. The "Rating" is a qualitatitive scale used to describe the amount of damage to the coating from the stmt crimping and expansion procedure based on optical microscopy examination by an experienced coating engineer. A low rating indicates a large percentage of the coating cracked, smeared, and/or delaminated from the surface. For example, a coating with a rating of ten shows no damage while one with a rating of 1 will show a majority of the coating damaged to the point where clinical efficacy maybe diminished. Commercially attractive coatings typically have a rating of nine or higher.
Stress-Strain Measurement Test Procedure Polymer films can be prepared by hot pressing polymer beads at 100°C in a constant film maker kit to a thickness of approximately 0.5 mm. The resulting films are cut into strips using a razor blade. A Q800 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (available from 5 Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX) may be fitted with a film tension clamp. Each sample is equilibrated at 35°C for five minutes prior to straining the sample.
Then the sample is loaded into the clamp such that the sample length is between 5 and 7 mm in length. A
static force of O.O1N is applied to each sample throughout the measurements.
Simultaneously, a 0.5 N/min force is applied to the sample until the movable clamp 10 reaches its maximum position. Films are elongated at constant stress and the average tensile modulus (i.e., the initial slope of the stress-strain curve, in MPa) can be determined.

Results, provided in Figure 4, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of SBR and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein.
Example 5 Release of Rapamycin from Polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) and Poly(butyl methacrXlate) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. All three solutions included mixtures of polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA", available from Focus Chemical Corp. Portsmouth, NH, containing 28% (wt) methyl acrylate), poly(butyl methacrylate) ("PBMA", available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons), and rapamycin ("RAPA", available from LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to form a homogeneous solution. The stems were not given a primer pre-treatment.
The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1 ) 16 mg/ml PEMA / 4 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
2) 10 mg/ml PEMA / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
3) 4 mg/ml PEMA / 16 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 5, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PEMA and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein.
The lines in Figure 5 and similar figures are expressed in terms of percent by weight of the first and second polymers, respectively, in the coated compositions. This can be compared to the amounts provided above, which are stated in terms of "mg/ml" of the respective polymers in the coating compositions themselves, which are applied to the stems. Hence "54/13" corresponds to the coated compositions that results from the use of the first coating composition above, which upon removal of the solvent provides a coated composition having 54% PEMA and 13% PBMA respectively, by weight.
Alternatively, solutions such as the second solution above, e.g., which includes equal amounts (by weight) of the ingredients, will alternatively be referred to herein as "33/33/33", representing the weight ratio of ingredients to each other.
Example 6 Release of Dexamethasone from Poly(ethXlene-co-methyl acrylate) and Poly(butyl methacr~) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. All three solutions included mixtures of polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA"), poly(butyl methacrylate) "PBMA", and dexamethasone ("DEXA", available as Product No. 86,187-1 from Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals) dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The stems were not given a primer pre-treatment. The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1 ) 20 mg/ml PEMA / 0 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
2) 10 mg/ml PEMA / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
3) 0 mg/ml PEMA / 20 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Dexamethasone Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 6, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of dexamethasone, a pharmaceutical agent, from a stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PEMA and PBMA in the polymer mixture.
Example 7 Surface Characterization of Coated Stents after Crimping and Expansion Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, stems were sprayed with a coating of second polymer/poly(butyl methacrylate)("PBMA")/rapamycin("RAPA"), mixed at a weight ratio of 33/33/33 at 10 mg/ml each of THF. The first polymer was poly(ethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA", available from Focus Chemical Corp. Portsmouth, NH, containing 28% (wt) methyl acrylate). The second polymer used was PBMA from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons. Stems were either used as received (i.e., uncoated metal), were pre-treated with a silane/ParyleneTM primer using the primer procedure described in the Sample Preparation Procedure, were not pre-treated with primer but were given a subsequent PBMA topcoat using the spraying process described in the Sample Preparation Procedure, or were given both a silane/ParyleneTM
pre-treatment primer and subsequent PBMA topcoat.
After preparing the coated stems and allowing all solvents to dry at ambient conditions, the stems were examined with an optical microscope under both "bright field"
and "dark field" conditions. All coatings were optically transparent (i.e., clear, showing no cloudiness). Raman microscopy taken of the coated stems of PEMA as first polymer, 5 applied to bare metal stmt, indicated a high degree of homogeneity of mixing of drug and polymers.
The coated stems were crimped down on balloons and were expanded following the Durability Test Procedure, which showed that, overall, all the coatings remained intact (i.e., the coating did not peel off or flake off, etc.), with only a few localized sites where 10 coating delaminated from the metal stmt. When primer coatings were used, essentially no delamination was evident and cracks were all smaller than about 10 microns in width.
Almost all stems had some degree of cracking of the coating around bends in the struts, as well as some mechanical damage caused by handling or balloon expansion. Adding a PBMA topcoat did not adversely affect the mechanical integrity of the coating on the stmt 15 after crimping and expansion, as might be expected with an overall thicker stmt coating.
Based on both the drug-eluting test results and mechanical test results, coatings containing bioactive agents incorporated into blends of PBMA with PEMA as the first polymer are viable candidates for commercial applications in drug-eluting stems and are expected to be particularly effective in minimizing the onset of restenosis after stmt 20 implantation.
Example 8 and Comparative Example C 1 Stress-Strain Measurements for First and/or Additional Polymers Tensile properties of various first polymers and additional polymers of this 25 invention were tested and average tensile modulus calculated using the Stress-Strain Measurement Test Procedure. The first and/or additional polymers evaluated were polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA", same as used in Example 5), poly(ethylene-co-butyl acrylate) ("PEBA", containing 35% (wt) butyl acrylate, available from Focus Chemical Corp., Portsmouth, NH), polybutadiene ("PBD", available from Scientific 30 Polymers Products, Inc., Ontario, NY, as Catalog # 688; CAS #31567-90-5; 7%
cis 1,4;
93% vinyl 1,2; Mw approx. 100 kilodaltons) and polyethylene-co-vinyl acetate) ("PEVA", available as Product No. 34,691-8 from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals).
PEVA was run as a comparative example.
Stress-strain curves are shown in Figure 7. The calculated average tensile modulus for each of the tested polymers is shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Average Tensile Example Polymer Modulus, MPa (SD) 8a PEMA 5.54 (0.49) 8b PEBA 3.66 (0.67) 8c PBD 34.87 (4.83) C 1 PEVA 2.17 (0.46 The data from Table 1 show that, when compared to PEVA, each of the first polymers showed a higher average tensile modulus. The average tensile modulus for the PBD was significantly higher than that for any of the other polymers.
Example 9 Raman Microscopy Raman measurements were made with a WITec CRM200 scanning confocal Raman microscope. The Raman microscope can optically dissect a layer of coating on a stmt, looking into the coating and imaging the distribution of the coating composition ingredients within the thin coating. Since no Raman signal is obtained from air and steel materials, the air above the coating surface is black as is the steel substrate upon which the coating is deposited.
Figure 8 shows a 100 micron wide and 10 micron deep image (including a 10 micron bar in the lower left-hand corner for scale) taken by measuring the Raman intensity at 2900 cm ~ for a stmt with a 33/33/33 PEMA/PBMA/rapamycin coating.
Since each of the composition ingredients, including first and second polymers as well as bioactive agent, contribute signal at this wavenumber, the image obtained is one of the entire coating. Figure 9 shows Raman intensity at 1630 cm 1 for the same region of stmt coating shown in Figure 8. When measuring the Raman intensity at 1630 cm-~, only the intensity of the bioactive agent signal is measured (the first and second polymers do not emit at this wavenumber), and so an image of the distribution of the bioactive agent within the coating is obtained (Figure 9).
Comparison of Figures 8 and 9 indicates that the bioactive agent is uniformly distributed within the entire coating, since the intensity of the Raman signal of the agent varies only subtly from one region of the coating to another. Similar results are seen with other compositions of the present invention.
Example 10 Release of Rapamycin from Poly~butadiene) and Poly(but~,l methacr~ate) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. The solutions included mixtures of poly(1,2-butadiene) ("PBD", available from Scientific Polymers Products, Inc., Ontario, NY, as Catalog # 688; CAS #31567-90-5; 7% cis 1,4; 93% vinyl 1,2; Mw approx. 100 kilodaltons), poly(butyl methacrylate) ("PBMA", available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons), and rapamycin ("RAPA", available from LC
Laboratories, Woburn, MA) dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The scents were not given a primer pre-treatment.
The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1) 16 mg/ml PBD / 4 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
2) 10 mgiml PBD / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mglml RAPA
3) 4 mg/ml PBD / 16 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 10, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PBD and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein. The lines in Figure 10 and similar figures are expressed in terms of percent by weight of the first and second polymers, respectively, in the coated compositions. This can be compared to the amounts provided above, which are stated in terms of "mg/ml" of the respective polymers in the coating compositions themselves, which are applied to the stems. Hence "54/13"
corresponds to the coated compositions that results from the use of the first coating composition above, which upon removal of the solvent provides a coated composition having 54% PBD and 13% PBMA respectively, by weight. Alternatively, solutions such as the second solution above, e.g., which includes equal amounts (by weight) of the ingredients, will alternatively be referred to herein as "33/33/33", representing the weight ratio of ingredients to each other.
Additionally, the durability for PBD/PBMA coatings was also analyzed. Stems were coated with PBD and PBMA in a procedure as described above but without any bioactive agent. The stems were then tested according to the method described in the Durability Test Procedure section. The results are displayed in Figure 10A.
The PBD/PBMA coatings showed very little damage in the form of some small cracks that did not appear to reach the stmt surface. These coatings were applied to bare metal stems before ethylene oxide sterilization ("sterilization"), Parylene TM coated stems before sterilization, and Parylene TM coated stems after sterilization. These were labeled in Figure 10A "Bare Metal Pre-Sterile," "Parylene Pre-Sterile," and "Parylene Post-Sterile,"
respectively. Parylene TM treatments and sterilization had little effect on the exceptional durability of the PBD/PBMA coatings.
Example 11 Release of Rapamycin from Poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) and Poly~butyl methacr~) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. The solutions included mixtures of poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) ("PBDA," available from Scientific Polymer Products, Inc., Catalog #533, contains 41% (wt) acrylonitrile), "PBMA" and "RAPA"
("PBMA" and "RAPA" were obtained and used as described in Example 1) dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The stems were not given a primer pre-treatment.
The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1) 16 mg/ml PBDA / 4 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
2) 10 mg/ml PBDA / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
3) 4 mg/ml PBDA / 16 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml RAPA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Rapamycin Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 11, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PBDA and PBMA in the polymer mixture as described herein.
Example 12 Release of Dexamethasone from Poly(butadiene~and Pol~(butyl methacr~ate) Three solutions were prepared for coating the stems. All three solutions included mixtures of poly(1,2-butadiene) "PBD", poly(butyl methyl acrylate) ("PBMA"), and dexamethasone ("DEXA") dissolved in THF to form a homogeneous solution. The stems were not given a primer pre-treatment.
The solutions were prepared to include the following ingredients at the stated weights per milliliter of THF:
1) 20 mg/ml PBD / 0 mg/ml PBMA l 10 mg/ml DEXA
2) 10 mg/ml PBD / 10 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
3) 0 mglml PBD / 20 mg/ml PBMA / 10 mg/ml DEXA
Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, two stems were spray coated using each solution. After solvent removal via ambient evaporation, the drug elution for each coated stmt was monitored using the Dexamethasone Release Assay Procedure.
Results, provided in Figure 12, demonstrate the ability to control the elution rate of dexamethasone, a pharmaceutical agent, from a stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of PBD and PBMA in the polymer mixture.
Example 13 Surface Characterization of Coated Stents after Crimping and Expansion Using the Sample Preparation Procedure, stems were sprayed with a coating of second polymer/poly(butyl methacrylate)("PBMA")/rapamycin("RAPA"), mixed at a weight ratio of 33/33/33 at 10 mg/ml each of THF. The first polymer was polybutadiene ("PBD", available from Scientific Polymers Products, Inc., Ontario, NY, as Catalog # 688;
CAS #31567-90-5; 7% cis 1,4; 93% vinyl 1,2; Mw approx. 100 kilodaltons), and a polymer from the additional polymer class was polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate) ("PEMA", available from Focus Chemical Corp. Portsmouth, NH, containing 28%
(wt) methyl acrylate). The second polymer used was PBMA from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals as Product No. 18,152-8, having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 337 kilodaltons. Stems were either used as received (i.e., uncoated metal), were pre-treated with a silane/ParyleneTM primer using the primer procedure described in the Sample Preparation Procedure, were not pre-treated with primer but were given a subsequent PBMA topcoat using the spraying process described in the Sample Preparation Procedure, or were given both a silane/ParyleneTM pre-treatment primer and subsequent 5 PBMA topcoat.
After preparing the coated stems and allowing all solvents to dry at ambient conditions, the stems were examined with an optical microscope under both "bright field"
and "dark field" conditions. All coatings were optically transparent (i.e., clear, showing no cloudiness). Raman microscopy taken of the coated stems of (PEMA as the additional 10 polymer, applied to bare metal stmt) and (PBD as the first polymer, applied to bare metal stmt) indicated a high degree of homogeneity of mixing of drug and polymers.
The coated stems were crimped down on balloons and were expanded following the Durability Test Procedure, which showed that, overall, all the coatings remained intact (i.e., the coating did not peel off or flake off, etc.), with only a few localized sites where 15 coating delaminated from the metal stmt. When primer coatings were used, essentially no delamination was evident and cracks were all smaller than about 10 microns in width.
Almost all stems had some degree of cracking of the coating around bends in the struts, as well as some mechanical damage caused by handling or balloon expansion. Adding a PBMA topcoat did not adversely affect the mechanical integrity of the coating on the stmt 20 after crimping and expansion, as might be expected with an overall thicker stmt coating.
Based on both the drug-eluting test results and mechanical test results, coatings containing bioactive agents incorporated into blends of PBMA with either PEMA
or PBD
as the other polymer are viable candidates for commercial applications in drug-eluting stems and are expected to be particularly effective in minimizing the onset of restenosis 25 after stmt implantation.
Example 14 Scanning Electron Microscopy Scanning Electron Microscopy can be used to observe coating quality and 30 uniformity on stems at any suitable point in their manufacture or use.
Crimped and expanded stems were examined for coating failures in fine microscopic detail using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at magnifications varying from ISOX to 5000X.
Various coating defects tend to affect the manufacture and use of most polymer coated stems in commercial use today, including the appearance of cracks or tears within the coating, smearing or displacement of the coating, as well as potentially even delamination of the coating in whole or in part. Such defects can occur upon formation of the coating itself, or more commonly, in the course of its further fabrication, including crimping the stmt upon an inflatable balloon, or in surgical use, which would include manipulating the stmt and expanding the balloon to position the stmt in vivo.
Figure 13 shows a scanning electron microscope image from a LEO Supra-35 VP
at 250X of a 33/33/33 PBD/PBMA/rapamycin coating on a stmt after conventional crimping and balloon expansion procedures. The image shows that the coated composition maintains integrity after expansion, showing no evidence of delamination or cracks.
When observed by SEM, many other compositions tended to show cracks, however, typically of a type and number that are certainly on par with those in commercial use today, and would tend to be well within acceptable range, particularly considering that neither the coating compositions, or manner of applying particular compositions, have yet been optimized for any particular combination of surface, polymers, bioactive agent. The cracks were typically a few microns in width, with thin strands of polymer stretching between the edges of the crack. Overall, however, the coatings looked smooth, uniform, and in good condition.
Almost all the stems had some degree of cracking of the coating around bends in the struts, as well as some mechanical damage caused by handling or balloon expansion.
Most surprisingly, polybutadiene-containing coatings exhibited less cracking and in one case no cracks, and when cracks occurred, they were typically smaller in size in comparison with the cracks found in PEMA or PEVA-containing coatings. For comparison, cracks which opened up and delaminated from the metal stmt surface were found in coatings containing PEMA and PEVA in the absence of a Parylene TM
primer coating. Polybutadiene-containing coatings without Parylene TM primer, as well as comparative PEMA (or comparative PEVA)-containing coatings with Parylene TM
primer, showed cracks which tended to not result in delamination.
Example 15 Release of Rapamycin from Poly(butadiene) and Poly~butyl methac~late) provided with a Topcoat Several solutions were prepared for coating non-sterile, non-deployed, self expanding nitinol coronary stems having a primer layer. The solutions included mixtures of poly(1,2-butadiene) ("PBD", available from Scientific Polymers Products, Inc., Ontario, NY), poly(butyl methacrylate) ("PBMA", available from Sigma-Aldrich Fine Chemicals), and rapamycin ("RAPA", available from LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA) dissolved to form a homogeneous solution. In addition, a topcoat of PBMA was also prepared and applied to the coating composition on some of the stems, and the elution rate profiles into a 2% SLS buffer on a Sotax USP IV Apparatus were determined.
Results, provided in Figure 14, illustrates several elution rates of rapamycin, a pharmaceutical agent, from a coated stmt surface by varying the relative concentrations of rapamycin, PBD, and PBMA with and without utilizing a topcoat. Further, Figure demonstrates the ability to control the elution rate of a bioactive agent by varying the amount of topcoat provided relative to the coating composition.
The lines in Figure 14 and Figure 15 are expressed in terms of percent by weight of the Rapamycin, PBD, and PBMA, respectively, in the coated compositions. Hence "40/30/30" corresponds to the coated compositions that results from the use of 40%
Rapamycin, 30% PBD, and 30% PBMA, respectively, by weight. In Figure 15, the weight of the topcoat relative to the weight of the coating composition is shown. For example, 6% topcoat corresponds to an amount of topcoat totaling 6% by weight of the coating composition weight.
Example 16 Release of Sirolimus from Polv(Butadiene) and Poly~butyl methacrylate) with Poly~but,~l methacrylate) and Sirolimus Topcoats Stainless steel BX velocity stems manufactured by Cordis Corporation, Miami Lakes, FL were used in the following examples. The stems were Parylene treated and weighted before coating.
Bioactive agent/polymer solutions were prepared at a range of concentrations in an appropriate solvent, in the manner described herein. The coating solutions were applied to respective stems by spraying procedures using an ultrasonic sprayer as described in U.S.
Published Application 2004/0062875 (Chappa et al.); and in U.S. Application Serial No.
11/102,465, filed April 8, 2005 and entitled "Medical Devices and Methods for Producing Same." After spraying application of the bioactive agent/polymer solution, the solvent was allowed to evaporate. The coated stems were weighed to determine the mass of coating and consequently the mass of polymer and bioactive agent. The coating thickness can be measured using any suitable means, e.g. optical interferometry.
The Bioactive Agent Release Assay, as described herein, was used to determine the extent and rate of drug release in vitro conditions. A Sotax dissolution system (Sotax Corporation, Horsham, PA) was utilized. The system used a 2wt%
surfactant/water solution as elution media. The coated stems were placed in the sample baskets, and the drug elution monitored by UV spectrometry over the course of several days. The elution media was held at 37°C. After the elution measurement, the stems were removed, rinsed, dried, and weighed to compare measured drug elution to mass loss.
One basecoat solution was prepared for coating the stems. This solution included mixtures of "PBD" poly(butadiene), "PBMA" poly(butyl methacrylate), and sirolimus dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The basecoat solution contained 6 mg/ml PBD, 6 mg/ml PBMA, and 6 mg/ml Sirolimus for a total "solids" concentration of 18 mg/ml.
Stems were coated with approximately 435 micrograms of total coating. The basecoat was allowed to dry before the topcoats were applied.
The following THF solutions were used for the topcoats:
1 ) 18 mg/ml PBMA and 2 mg/ml Sirolimus 2) 12 mg/ml PBMA and 8 mg/ml Sirolimus 3) 20 mg/ml PBMA
Average topcoat weights were 121 micrograms, and two stems were spray-coated using each solution.
After the solvent was removed by evaporation, drug elution was tested via the bioactive agent release assay described above. The results are provided in Figure 16 where curve 1 is basecoat only, curve 2 is topcoat applied using coating solution 1, curve 3 is topcoat applied using coating solution 2, and curve 4 is topcoat applied using coating solution 3. These curves demonstrated the ability to control the elution rate of a bioactive agent from a medical device surface by varying the amount of bioactive agent in the topcoat.
Example 17 Pretreating the Surface of Medical Device by Roughening Eye coils were roughened by blasting 50 ~m silica particles at the surface of the coils under high pressure and velocity. The roughness of the coil surfaces, particularly the peak to valley distance, was measured with the VSI (Vertical Scanning Interferometry) mode of an Optical Interferometer.
Roughness tests were taken over areas approximately 155 ~m x 120 pm on the top of each turn in the coils, as shown in Figures 17 and 18. Three roughness tests were taken on one side of the coil, then the coil was rotated 180° and three more tests were taken on the other side of the coil.
The VSI mode of the optical interferometer was used to look at the surface topography of uncoated eye coils over an area approximately 155 um x 120 Vim.
Three separate areas were measured on each coil on two sides of each coil, to get an average for each. Each measurement comprised of a 30 ~m scan to acquire the raw data, after which Ra, Rt, and RZ roughness parameters were calculated. Ra, the roughness average, is the arithmetic mean of the absolute values of the surface departures from the mean plane. Rt, the maximum height (peak to valley distance), is the vertical distance between the highest and lowest points over the entire dataset (highest and lowest single pixels), RZ, the average maximum height (average peak to valley distance), is the average of the difference of the ten highest and ten lowest points in the dataset (10 highest and 10 lowest pixels at least 4.6 pm apart from each other laterally). The RZ value measures the average peak to valley distance from multiple locations to prevent a misrepresentation of the data caused by single data pixels that are random noise, or uncommon surface features like scratches or pits. As shown below in Figures 19A and B, tilt and curvature of the surface were removed in order to compare the relative surface finish of each coil.
Table 2 shows the roughness statistics for coil 1, and Table 3 shows the roughness statistics for coil 2.
Figure 20A shows a surface plot of test A-2 of coil 1, and Figure 20B shows a representation of Figure 20A. Figure 21 A shows a surface plot of test A-2 of coil 2, and Figure 21B shows a 3D representation of Figure 21A.
