Definitions
- This invention generally relates to a coating of fast dissolution or absorption on an implantable device.
- Blood vessel occlusions are commonly treated by mechanically enhancing blood flow in the affected vessels, such as by employing a stent.
- Stents are used not only for mechanical intervention but also as vehicles for providing biological therapy.
- the stent can be coated with a biocompatible polymeric coating.
- the biocompatible polymeric coating can function either as a permeable layer or a carrier to allow a controlled delivery of the agent.
- a continuing challenge in the art of implantable stents is to provide a coating that possesses good biobeneficial properties, which refer to good biocompatibilities in both the acute and chronic timeframes.
- a polymer forming a coating composition for an implantable device has to be at least biologically benign. Additionally, the polymer could have a therapeutic effect either additively or synergistically with the bioactive agent.
- the polymer is preferably biocompatible.
- various compositions have been used with limited success. For example, coating compositions containing poly(ethylene glycol) have been described (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,099,562).

- a medical condition such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage, vascular dissection or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque, diabetes, chronic total occlusion, claudication, anastomotic proliferation (for vein and artificial grafts), bile duct obstruction, ureter obstruction, tumor obstruction, or combinations of these.
- the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of a coating on a stent including a phosphoryl choline polymer before simulated use is shown in FIG. 1 .
- the coating has a drug/polymer ratio of 1:5.
- the absorption rate or dissolution rate of a coating can be modulated by modulating several parameters of the coating. Some of the factors are, e.g., (1) hydrophilicity of the coating (hydrophilic/hydrophobic ratio) (2) charge (pKa) or isoelectric point (polymers/proteins pH dependent solubility) , (3) thickness of the coating, (4) coating morphology, or (5) ingredients of the composition forming the coating. Hydrophilicity of the coating pertains to water uptake of the coating and therefore relates to the absorption rate or dissolution rate of the coating. Generally, the more hydrophilic the coating, the more absorbable or dissolvable of the coating. Thickness of the coating is also related to the absorption or dissolution of the coating.
- Coating morphology relates to the rate of absorption or dissolution in that an amorphous coating generally dissolves or dissolves faster than a crystalline coating. Therefore, to control the rate of absorption or dissolution of a coating, one can tailor the above parameters according to a desired rate of absorption or dissolution.
- low molecular weight hydrophilic polymer can mean any hydrophilic polymers, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), vinyl alcohol polymer or copolymers (e.g., EVAL) having a molecular weight below about, e.g., 5,000 Daltons, below about 1,000 Daltons, or below about 500 Daltons.

- the low molecular hydrophilic polymer can include acidic or basic end groups, etc.
- Such acidic groups can be, for example, carboxylic acid group, sulfonic acid group, or phosphonic acid group.
- Such basic groups can be, for example, amino group or a salt of the carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, or phosphonic acid groups.
- the coating can be formed to have a thickness so that renders the coating capable of fast absorption or dissolution.
- the coating can have a thickness ranging from about 10 nm to about 1 mm.
- the coating can have a thickness of about 1 ⁇ m, about 5 ⁇ m, about 10 ⁇ m, about 20 ⁇ m or about 50 ⁇ m.
- the coating can have a thickness ranging from about 2 ⁇ m to about 10 ⁇ m, e.g., about 3 ⁇ m.
- Phosphoryl choline is a zwitterionic functionality that mimics the outer surface of a lipid bilayer. It has good hemocompatibility, non-thrombogenicity, arterial tissue acceptance and long-term in-vivo stability. It has been used to increase the biocompatibility of polymers, especially of acrylic copolymers.
- phosphoryl choline polymer refers to any polymer that includes at least one phosphoryl choline moiety.
- the phosphoryl choline polymer can be a block copolymer or a random copolymer.
- the phosphoryl choline polymer can have a molecular weight or hydrodynamic volume low enough to clear from the kidneys or degrade into species or fragments of a molecular weight or hydrodynamic volume low enough to clear from the kidneys.
- the phosphoryl choline polymer can have or degrade into species or fragments that have a molecular weight below about 45,000 Daltons, e.g., about 40,000 Daltons, about 30,000 Daltons, about 20,000 Daltons, about 10,000 Daltons, about 5,000 Daltons, or about 1,000 Daltons.
- hydrodynamic volume refers to the volume of a polymer coil when it is in solution, which can vary for a polymer depending on how well it interacts with the solvent, and the polymer's molecular weight.
- the phosphoryl choline polymer can be formed by polymerizing a phosphoryl choline bearing monomer and optionally monomers without phosphoryl choline.
- the phosphoryl choline polymer can have different molecular weight, degree of polymerization (DP), or distributions or molar ratios of monomers that have no phosphoryl choline to monomers that bear phosphoryl choline.
- the biocompatible polymer useful as moiety of the copolymer comprising phosphoryl choline is a non-degradable polymer.
- Representative biocompatible, non-degradable polymers include, but are not limited to, ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (commonly known by the generic name EVOH or by the trade name EVAL), polyurethanes, silicones, polyesters, polyolefins, polyisobutylene and ethylene-alphaolefin copolymers, styrene-isobutyl-styrene triblock copolymers, acrylic polymers and copolymers, vinyl halide polymers and copolymers such as poly(vinyldifluoride-co-hexafluoropropane), poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropane), polyvinyl ethers such as polyvinyl methyl ether, polyvinylidene halides such as polyvinylidene fluor

- MMA methylmethacrylate
- EMA ethylmethacrylate
- BMA butylmethacrylate
- LMA laurylmethacrylate

Abstract
A coating of fast absorption or fast dissolution on an implantable device and methods of making and using of the coating are provided.
Description
- This application is a continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/638,780 filed on Dec. 13, 2006, the teaching of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention generally relates to a coating of fast dissolution or absorption on an implantable device.
- 2. Description of the Background
- Blood vessel occlusions are commonly treated by mechanically enhancing blood flow in the affected vessels, such as by employing a stent. Stents are used not only for mechanical intervention but also as vehicles for providing biological therapy. To affect a controlled delivery of an active agent in stent based therapy, the stent can be coated with a biocompatible polymeric coating. The biocompatible polymeric coating can function either as a permeable layer or a carrier to allow a controlled delivery of the agent. A continuing challenge in the art of implantable stents is to provide a coating that possesses good biobeneficial properties, which refer to good biocompatibilities in both the acute and chronic timeframes.
- Generally, a polymer forming a coating composition for an implantable device has to be at least biologically benign. Additionally, the polymer could have a therapeutic effect either additively or synergistically with the bioactive agent. The polymer is preferably biocompatible. To provide for a coating that is biologically benign, various compositions have been used with limited success. For example, coating compositions containing poly(ethylene glycol) have been described (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,099,562). One of the needs in the art is to provide for a stent that has favorable long-term biological properties. However, under certain circumstances, it is documented that polymer and remaining drugs on the stents are major factors in causing late clinical effects such as late stent thrombosis, in stent artherosclerosis, and late stent malapposition.
- The various embodiments described below address the above described problems.
- Provided herein is a coating of fast absorption or dissolution. The coating includes a polymer or material of fast absorption or dissolution. By “fast absorption” or “fast dissolution” it is meant that the coating can quickly absorb or dissolve by degradation or solvation. For example, in some embodiments, about 50 weight percents of the coating can absorb or dissolve within about 24 hours after deployment of the implantable device. As used herein, the term absorption or dissolution is independent of location. In some embodiments, the absorption or dissolution occurs in a tissue. In some embodiments, the absorption or dissolution can occur in a blood vessel, for example, arteries or veins. In some further embodiments, the absorption or dissolution can occur in a disease site in need of treatment by the implantable device described herein. The type of fluid causing the absorption or dissolution described herein can be any body fluid. In some embodiments, the body fluid is a physiological fluid in a body tissue. In some embodiments, the body fluid is blood.
- In some embodiments, the polymers or materials for forming the coating shall have a hydrophilicity that renders the polymers or materials soluble in the blood stream or have a molecular weight sufficiently low so that it can readily dissolve or degrade in the blood stream or a tissue. In some embodiments, the polymers or materials can have a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of about 100,000 Daltons or below, about 50,000 Daltons or below (e.g., about 45,000 Daltons), about 10,000 Daltons or below, about 5,000 Daltons or below, or about 2,000 Daltons or below (e.g., about 1,000 Daltons).
- Such polymer or material can be ionic or non-ionic. In some embodiments, the polymer or material can bear a positive or negative charge(s). In some embodiments, the polymer or materials can include a polymer poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), hyaluronic acid, hydroxyl cellulose, CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose), hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), hydroxy propyl methacrylamide (HPMA), poly(butylene terephthalate-co-poly(ethylene glycol) (PBT-PEG), poly(butylene terephthalate-co-carboxy methyl cellulose) (PBT-co-CMC), polysaccaride, a phosphoryl choline polymer, chitosan, collagen, or combinations thereof.
- In some embodiments, the dissolution or absorption rate can be increased by blending a small amount of low molecular weight polymer into the coating. In some embodiments, polymers with basic or acidic pendant groups can be included in a coating to increase the dissolution or absorption rate of the coating.
- The thickness of the coating relates to the rate of dissolution or absorption if the dissolution or absorption of the coating is by a mechanism that includes surface erosion. In some embodiments, the coating can have various thicknesses. The coating can have a thickness ranging from about 10 nm to about 1 mm. In some embodiments, the coating can have a thickness of about 1 μm, about 3 μm, about 5 μm, about 10 μm, about 20 μm or about 50 μm. In some embodiments, the coating can have a thickness ranging from about 2 μm to about 10 μm.
- In some embodiments, the coating includes a therapeutic substance. The therapeutic substance can have a release rate that is substantially the same as the absorption rate of the coating if release of the therapeutic substance is by a mechanism that includes surface erosion. In some embodiments, the therapeutic substance can have a release rate that is faster than the absorption rate of the coating.
- In some embodiments, the therapeutic substance can have a release rate that is slower the absorption rate of the coating. For example, where a coating includes a layer without the therapeutic substance on top of a reservoir layer including the therapeutic substance, the release rate of the therapeutic substance can be slower than the absorption rate of the coating.
- The coating described herein can be formed on an implantable device such as a drug delivery stent. The coating may optionally include one or more bioactive agents. Some examples of the bioactive agent that can be included in the coating or implantable device include, but are not limited to, paclitaxel, docetaxel, estradiol, nitric oxide donors, super oxide dismutases, super oxide dismutases mimics, 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl(4-amino-TEMPO), tacrolimus, dexamethasone, rapamycin, rapamycin derivatives, 40-O-(2-hydroxy)ethyl-rapamycin(everolimus), 40-O-(3-hydroxy)propyl-rapamycin, 40-O-[2-(2-hydroxy)ethoxy]ethyl-rapamycin, and 40-O-tetrazole-rapamycin, 40-epi-(N1-tetrazolyl)-rapamycin (ABT-578), pimecrolimus, imatinib mesylate, midostaurin, clobetasol, mometasone, statins, CD-34 antibody, abciximab (REOPRO), progenitor cell capturing antibody, prohealing drugs, prodrugs thereof, co-drugs thereof, or a combination thereof.
- The implantable device having the coating described herein can be used for treating, preventing, or ameliorating a medical condition such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage, vascular dissection or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque, diabetes, chronic total occlusion, claudication, anastomotic proliferation (for vein and artificial grafts), bile duct obstruction, ureter obstruction, tumor obstruction, or combinations of these.

- The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of a coating on a stent including a phosphoryl choline polymer before simulated use is shown in
FIG. 1 . The coating has a drug/polymer ratio of 1:5. - The absorption rate or dissolution rate of a coating can be modulated by modulating several parameters of the coating. Some of the factors are, e.g., (1) hydrophilicity of the coating (hydrophilic/hydrophobic ratio) (2) charge (pKa) or isoelectric point (polymers/proteins pH dependent solubility) , (3) thickness of the coating, (4) coating morphology, or (5) ingredients of the composition forming the coating. Hydrophilicity of the coating pertains to water uptake of the coating and therefore relates to the absorption rate or dissolution rate of the coating. Generally, the more hydrophilic the coating, the more absorbable or dissolvable of the coating. Thickness of the coating is also related to the absorption or dissolution of the coating. While the relationship of the rate of absorption or dissolution of a particular coating with respect to the thickness of the coating depends on mechanism of absorption or dissolution, a thicker coating can dissolve or absorb slower than a thinner coating. Coating morphology relates to the rate of absorption or dissolution in that an amorphous coating generally dissolves or dissolves faster than a crystalline coating. Therefore, to control the rate of absorption or dissolution of a coating, one can tailor the above parameters according to a desired rate of absorption or dissolution.
- In some embodiments, one can tailor the rate of dissolution or absorption of coating by blending a small amount of low molecular weight hydrophilic polymer into the coating matrix. Low molecular weight polymer can mean any hydrophilic polymers, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), vinyl alcohol polymer or copolymers (e.g., EVAL) having a molecular weight below about, e.g., 5,000 Daltons, below about 1,000 Daltons, or below about 500 Daltons. In some embodiments, the coating matrix can include a small amount unpolymerized monomer or comonomer. In some embodiments, the low molecular hydrophilic polymer can include acidic or basic end groups, etc. Such acidic groups can be, for example, carboxylic acid group, sulfonic acid group, or phosphonic acid group. Such basic groups, can be, for example, amino group or a salt of the carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, or phosphonic acid groups.
- In some embodiments, the coating can be formed to have a thickness so that renders the coating capable of fast absorption or dissolution. For example, the coating can have a thickness ranging from about 10 nm to about 1 mm. In some embodiments, the coating can have a thickness of about 1 μm, about 5 μm, about 10 μm, about 20 μm or about 50 μm. In some embodiments, the coating can have a thickness ranging from about 2 μm to about 10 μm, e.g., about 3 μm.
- Phosphoryl choline (PC) is a zwitterionic functionality that mimics the outer surface of a lipid bilayer. It has good hemocompatibility, non-thrombogenicity, arterial tissue acceptance and long-term in-vivo stability. It has been used to increase the biocompatibility of polymers, especially of acrylic copolymers. As used herein, the term “phosphoryl choline polymer” refers to any polymer that includes at least one phosphoryl choline moiety. The phosphoryl choline polymer can be a block copolymer or a random copolymer. The phosphoryl choline polymer can have a molecular weight or hydrodynamic volume low enough to clear from the kidneys or degrade into species or fragments of a molecular weight or hydrodynamic volume low enough to clear from the kidneys. For example, the phosphoryl choline polymer can have or degrade into species or fragments that have a molecular weight below about 45,000 Daltons, e.g., about 40,000 Daltons, about 30,000 Daltons, about 20,000 Daltons, about 10,000 Daltons, about 5,000 Daltons, or about 1,000 Daltons. As used herein, the term hydrodynamic volume refers to the volume of a polymer coil when it is in solution, which can vary for a polymer depending on how well it interacts with the solvent, and the polymer's molecular weight.
- In some embodiments, the phosphoryl choline polymer can be formed by polymerizing a phosphoryl choline bearing monomer and optionally monomers without phosphoryl choline. The phosphoryl choline polymer can have different molecular weight, degree of polymerization (DP), or distributions or molar ratios of monomers that have no phosphoryl choline to monomers that bear phosphoryl choline.
- In another embodiment, the biocompatible polymer useful as moiety of the copolymer comprising phosphoryl choline is a non-degradable polymer. Representative biocompatible, non-degradable polymers include, but are not limited to, ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (commonly known by the generic name EVOH or by the trade name EVAL), polyurethanes, silicones, polyesters, polyolefins, polyisobutylene and ethylene-alphaolefin copolymers, styrene-isobutyl-styrene triblock copolymers, acrylic polymers and copolymers, vinyl halide polymers and copolymers such as poly(vinyldifluoride-co-hexafluoropropane), poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropane), polyvinyl ethers such as polyvinyl methyl ether, polyvinylidene halides such as polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinylidene chloride, polyfluoroalkenes, polyperfluoroalkenes, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl ketones, polyvinyl aromatics such as polystyrene, polyvinyl esters such as polyvinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl monomers with each other and olefins, such as ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, ABS resins, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, polyamides such as Nylon 66 and polycaprolactam, alkyd resins, polyoxymethylenes, polyimides, polyethers, epoxy resins, rayon, rayon-triacetate, polyurethanes, silk, silk-elasitn, polyphosphazenes and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the phosphoryl choline polymer can specifically exclude any of the above polymers.
- In a further embodiment, the copolymer described herein comprises one or more of the following hydrophobic monomers: methylmethacrylate (MMA), ethylmethacrylate (EMA), butylmethacrylate (BMA), 2-ethylhexylmethacrylate, laurylmethacrylate (LMA), or combinations thereof. By varying the copolymer's content of the hydrophobic monomers, mechanical properties such as elasticity and toughness can be modulated. For example, a monomer having a relatively long side chain would enhance the flexibility of a coating comprising the copolymer. In contrast, a monomer having a relatively short side chain would enhance the rigidity and toughness of a coating comprising the copolymer.
- In a further embodiment, the copolymer described herein comprises one or more of the following hydrophilic monomers: non-fouling monomers such as hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate (HEMA), PEG acrylate (PEGA), PEG methacrylate, 2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine (MPC) and n-vinyl pyrrolidone (VP), carboxylic acid bearing monomers such as methacrylic acid (MA), acrylic acid (AA), hydroxyl bearing monomers such as HEMA, hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA), hydroxypropylmethacrylamide, 3-trimethylsilylpropyl methacrylate (TMSPMA), and combinations thereof. The carboxylic acid bearing monomers or hydroxyl bearing monomers can be used to crosslink the copolymer once it is applied to the substrate to coat. This will hinder a very hydrophilic coating from dissolving away.
- In some embodiments, the phosphoryl choline polymer can specifically exclude any units derived from the above-identified monomer(s).
- In some embodiments, the phosphoryl choline polymer can be a block copolymer. The block copolymer can be formed by coupling a biocompatible polymer and a phosphoryl choline moiety. Representative biodegradable polymers include, but are not limited to, polyesters, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), poly(ester amides) that may optionally contain alkyl, amino acid, PEG and/or alcohol groups, polycaprolactone, poly(L-lactide), poly(D,L-lactide), poly(D,L-lactide-co-PEG) block copolymers, poly(D,L-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate), polyglycolide, poly(lactide-co-glycolide), polydioxanone (PDS), polyorthoester, polyanhydride, poly(glycolic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate), polyphosphoester, polyphosphoester urethane, poly(amino acids), polycyanoacrylates, poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(iminocarbonate), polycarbonates, polyurethanes, copoly(ether-esters) (e.g. PEO/PLA), polyalkylene oxalates, polyphosphazenes, PHA-PEG, and combinations thereof. The PHA may include poly(α-hydroxyacids), poly(β-hydroxyacid) such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV), poly(3-hydroxyproprionate) (PHP), poly(3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHH), or poly(4-hydroxyacid) such as poly poly(4-hydroxybutyrate), poly(4-hydroxyvalerate), poly(4-hydroxyhexanoate), poly(hydroxyvalerate), poly(tyrosine carbonates), poly(tyrosine acrylates).
- In some embodiments, the phosphoryl choline polymer can specifically exclude any of the above polymers. In some embodiments, the phosphoryl choline block copolymer comprises poly(ester amide) (PEA-PC).
- The copolymer described herein can be synthesized by introducing phosphoryl choline into a polymer or by introducing phosphoryl choline into a monomer to form a phosphoryl choline monomer and then polymerizing the phosphoryl choline monomer to form the phosphoryl choline polymer.
- In some embodiments, the phosphoryl choline can be introduced into the polymer via a reactive functionality, which can be, for example, hydroxyl groups, amino groups, halo groups, carboxyl groups, thiol groups, aldehyde, N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). Alternatively, phosphoryl choline can be introduced into a monomer such as an oxirane. Polymerization of the monomers can generate a phosphoryl choline polymer.
- Monomers bearing phosphoryl choline can polymerize alone or with other comonomers by means known in the art e.g., catalytic polymerization, chemical reaction, or free radical polymerization, to form respective polymers bearing phosphoryl choline moiety(ies).
- In some embodiments, the phosphoryl choline polymer can be a copolymer. The copolymer can be formed of a monomer bearing no phosphoryl choline and another monomer bearing phosphoryl choline. In some embodiments, the monomer bearing no phosphoryl choline can be a vinyl monomer. An example of the phosphoryl choline polymer can be formed according to scheme I.
- The monomers forming the phosphoryl choline polymer can have different molar percentage. Generally, the molar percentage of the monomers can independently range from 0 to 100. For example, the molar percentage of the monomers can independently be about 1, about 5, about 10, about 20, about 30, about 40, about 50, about 60, about 70, about 80, about 90, about 95, or about 99. For example, in the polymer of scheme I, n and m, which represent the molar percentages of the two monomers forming the phosphoryl choline polymer in the scheme, can be about 50 and 50. In some embodiments, n and m can be expressed as molar ratios of the monomers forming a phosphoryl choline copolymer. For example, n and m can independently range from about 0.01 to about 0.99. In some embodiments, n and m can be about 0.5.
- Various methods of forming a phosphoryl choline polymer has been described in U.S. application Ser. No. 10/807,362, filed on Nov. 26, 2003, the teachings of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
- The coating described herein can have any suitable coating construct. For example, the polymer or material of fast absorption or dissolution can be included in the coating as a top-coat over a reservoir layer or matrix that includes a therapeutic substance. In some embodiments, the fast absorption polymer or material can form the coating alone or with another polymer. In some embodiments, the fast absorption polymer or material can include at least one therapeutic substance(s) (e.g., a drug or drugs).
- In some embodiments, the coating including a polymer or material of fast absorption can have a multilayer construct. For example, the coating can have multiple layer of coating matrix. As used herein, the term “coating matrix” or “matrix coating” refers a layer of coating different from a topcoat or a primer layer of the coating.

- As used herein, a medical device may be any suitable medical substrate that can be implanted in a human or veterinary patient. Examples of such medical devices include self-expandable stents, balloon-expandable stents, stent-grafts, grafts (e.g., aortic grafts), heart valve prostheses, cerebrospinal fluid shunts, pacemaker electrodes, catheters, and endocardial leads (e.g., FINELINE and ENDOTAK, available from Guidant Corporation, Santa Clara, Calif.), anastomotic devices and connectors, orthopedic implants such as screws, spinal implants, and electro-stimulatory devices. The underlying structure of the device can be of virtually any design. The device can be made of a metallic material or an alloy such as, but not limited to, cobalt chromium alloy (ELGILOY), stainless steel (316L), high nitrogen stainless steel, e.g., BIODUR 108, cobalt chrome alloy L-605, “MP35N,” “MP20N,” ELASTINITE (Nitinol), tantalum, nickel-titanium alloy, platinum-iridium alloy, gold, magnesium, or combinations thereof. “MP35N” and “MP20N” are trade names for alloys of cobalt, nickel, chromium and molybdenum available from Standard Press Steel Co., Jenkintown, Pa. “MP35N” consists of 35% cobalt, 35% nickel, 20% chromium, and 10% molybdenum. “MP20N” consists of 50% cobalt, 20% nickel, 20% chromium, and 10% molybdenum. Devices made from bioabsorbable (e.g., bioabsorbable stent) or biostable polymers could also be used with the embodiments of the present invention.
- Preferably, the medical device is a stent. The stent described herein is useful for a variety of medical procedures, including, by way of example, treatment of obstructions caused by tumors in bile ducts, esophagus, trachea/bronchi and other biological passageways. A stent having the above-described coating is particularly useful for treating diseased regions of blood vessels caused by lipid deposition, monocyte or macrophage infiltration, or dysfunctional endothelium or a combination thereof, or occluded regions of blood vessels caused by abnormal or inappropriate migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells, thrombosis, and restenosis. Stents may be placed in a wide array of blood vessels, both arteries and veins. Representative examples of sites include the iliac, renal, carotid and coronary arteries.
- For implantation of a stent, an angiogram is first performed to determine the appropriate positioning for stent therapy. An angiogram is typically accomplished by injecting a radiopaque contrasting agent through a catheter inserted into an artery or vein as an x-ray is taken. A guidewire is then advanced through the lesion or proposed site of treatment. Over the guidewire is passed a delivery catheter that allows a stent in its collapsed configuration to be inserted into the passageway. The delivery catheter is inserted either percutaneously or by surgery into the femoral artery, radial artery, brachial artery, femoral vein, or brachial vein, and advanced into the appropriate blood vessel by steering the catheter through the vascular system under fluoroscopic guidance. A stent having the above-described coating may then be expanded at the desired area of treatment. A post-insertion angiogram may also be utilized to confirm appropriate positioning.
- The implantable device can be implanted in any mammal, e.g., an animal or a human being. In some embodiments, the implantable device can be implanted in a patient in need of treatment by the implantable device. The treatment can be angioplasty or other type of treatments involving an implantable device.
- A patient who receives the implantable device described herein can be male or female under normal body condition (e.g., normal weight) or abnormal body condition (e.g., underweight or overweight). The patient can be in any age, preferably, the patient is in an age ranging from about 40 to 70 years. An index for measuring the body condition of a patient is BMI (body mass index). A patient can have a BMI ranging from about 18 to about 30 or above.
- The implantable device described herein can be used to treat or ameliorate a medical condition such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage, vascular dissection or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque, chronic total occlusion, claudication, type-II diabetes, anastomotic proliferation for vein and artificial grafts, bile duct obstruction, ureter obstruction, tumor obstruction, or combinations thereof.

FIG. 1 shows an SEM image of a drug delivery stent spray coated with a poly(phosphoryl choline-co-butyl methacrylate) (NOF, Japan) and everolimus (Novartis, Switzerland) solution at a polymer/drug ratio of 5:1. The ratio of the phosphoryl choline to butyl monomers were 50/50 and the Mw of the polymer was approximately 100,000 Daltons as measured by GPC using RI-detector. The solid concentration used for spraying were 2% using a mixture of solvents (CH2Cl2 50% (w/w), CH3OH 25% (w/w), DMAc 25% (w/w)).FIG. 2 is the SEM image of the coating inFIG. 1 after simulated use. The simulated use were performed in synthetic artery made from PVA using PBS saline buffer. The stent were tested for one hour before being removed and analyzed by SEM at which it was observed that all polymer had been removedFIG. 3 shows the release rate of everolimus from a poly(ester amide) (PEA) coating, a PEA-TEMPO coating, and a coating made of the above mentioned phosphoryl choline polymer, respectively. The total content of the various drug delivery stents were determined and used to calculate the remaining amount of drug in the coating after immersing in porcine serum for 24, and 72 h respectively. As expected the drug was completely release at 24 h for the bioabsorbable or soluble phosphorylcholine coating. - While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications can be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects.
