Definitions
- This invention relates to stable non-aqueous single phase biocompatible viscous vehicles capable of suspending beneficial agents and uniformly dispensing said agents at low flow rates and more particularly to stable uniformly mixed formulations of beneficial agents in stable non- aqueous single phase biocompatible viscous vehicles.
- proteins have great utility as pharmaceuticals in the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of disease.
- Proteins are naturally active in aqueous environments, thus the preferred formulations of proteins have been in aqueous solutions.
- proteins are only marginally stable in aqueous solutions.
- protein pharmaceuticals often have short shelf-lives under ambient conditions or require refrigeration.
- proteins have only limited solubility in aqueous solutions. Even when they are soluble at high concentrations, they are prone to aggregation and precipitation.
- Proteins can degrade via a number of mechanisms, including deamidations of asparagine and glutamine; oxidation of methionine and, to a lesser degree, tryptophan, tyrosine and histidine; hydrolysis of peptide bonds; disulfide interchange; and racemization of chiral amino acid residues [1-7].
- Water is a reactant in nearly all of these degradation pathways. Further, water acts as a plasticizer, which 30 facilitates unfolding and irreversible aggregation of proteins. Since water is a participant in almost all protein degradation pathways, reduction of aqueous protein solution to a dry powder provides an alternative formulation methodology to enhance the stability of protein pharmaceuticals.
- One approach to stabilizing proteins is to dry them using various techniques, including freeze-drying, spray-drying, lyophilization, and desiccation. Dried proteins are stored as dry powders until their use is required.
- a serious drawback to drying of proteins is that often one would like to use proteins in some sort of flowable form.
- Parenteral injection and the use of drug delivery devices for sustained delivery of drug are two examples of the applications where one would like to use proteins in a flowable form.
- dried proteins must be reconstituted, adding additional steps which are time-consuming and where contamination may occur, and exposing the protein to potentially destabilizing conditions [7].
- drug delivery devices the protein formulations must be stable for extended periods of time at body temperature and maintain their flowability for the expected life of the device.
- Solution formulations of proteins/peptides in non-aqueous polar aprotic solvents such as DMSO and DMF have been shown to be stable at elevated temperatures for long periods of time [8].
- solvent based formulations will not be useable for all proteins since many proteins have low solubility in these solvents. The lower the solubility of the protein in the formulation, the more solvent would have to be used for delivery of a specific amount of protein.
- Low concentration solutions may be useful for injections, but may not be useful for long term delivery at low flow rates.
- Proteins have been formulated for delivery using perfluorodecalin [9, 10], methoxyflurane [9], high concentrations in water [11], polyethylene glycol [12], PLGA [13, 14], ethylenevinylacetate/polyvinylpyrridone mixtures [15], PEG400/povidone [16]. However, these formulations were not shown to retain a uniform suspension of protein in viscous vehicle over long periods of time.
- Carriers in which proteins do not dissolve but rather are suspended can often offer improved chemical stability. Furthermore, it can be beneficial to suspend the beneficial agent in a carrier when the agent exhibits low solubility in the desired vehicle. However, suspensions can have poor physical stability due to settling and agglomeration of the suspended beneficial agent. The problems with non-aqueous carriers tend to be exacerbated as the concentration of the active compound is increased.
- Dispersing powdered proteins or peptides in lipid vehicles to yield parenteral sustained release formulations has been investigated [17-21].
- the vehicles used were either various vegetable (sesame, soy, peanut, etc.) or synthetic oils (e.g., Miglyol) gelled with aluminum fatty acid esters such as aluminum stearates (mono-, di- or tri-), or with a polyglycerol ester.
- aluminum fatty acid esters such as aluminum stearates (mono-, di- or tri-)
- the sustained delivery of drugs has many advantages.
- Use of implantable devices assures patient compliance, since the delivery device is tamperproof. With one insertion of a device, rather than daily injections, there is reduced site irritation, fewer occupational hazards for practitioners improved cost effectiveness through decreased costs of equipment for repeated injections, reduced hazards of waste disposal, and enhanced efficacy through controlled release as compared with depot injection.
- the use of implantable devices for sustained delivery of a wide variety of drugs or other beneficial agents is well known in the art. Typical devices are described, for example, in U.S. Pat.

- Peptides, polypeptides, proteins and other proteinaceous substances (e.g., viruses, antibodies) collectively referred to herein as proteins, have great utility as pharmaceuticals in the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of disease. Proteins are naturally active in aqueous environments, thus the preferred formulations of proteins have been in aqueous solutions. However, proteins are only marginally stable in aqueous solutions. Thus, protein pharmaceuticals often have short shelf-lives under ambient conditions or require refrigeration. Further, many proteins have only limited solubility in aqueous solutions. Even when they are soluble at high concentrations, they are prone to aggregation and precipitation.
- Because proteins can easily degrade, the standard method for delivering such compounds has been daily injections. Proteins can degrade via a number of mechanisms, including deamidations of asparagine and glutamine; oxidation of methionine and, to a lesser degree, tryptophan, tyrosine and histidine; hydrolysis of peptide bonds; disulfide interchange; and racemization of chiral amino acid residues [1-7]. Water is a reactant in nearly all of these degradation pathways. Further, water acts as a plasticizer, which 30 facilitates unfolding and irreversible aggregation of proteins. Since water is a participant in almost all protein degradation pathways, reduction of aqueous protein solution to a dry powder provides an alternative formulation methodology to enhance the stability of protein pharmaceuticals.
- One approach to stabilizing proteins is to dry them using various techniques, including freeze-drying, spray-drying, lyophilization, and desiccation. Dried proteins are stored as dry powders until their use is required.
- A serious drawback to drying of proteins is that often one would like to use proteins in some sort of flowable form. Parenteral injection and the use of drug delivery devices for sustained delivery of drug are two examples of the applications where one would like to use proteins in a flowable form. For injection, dried proteins must be reconstituted, adding additional steps which are time-consuming and where contamination may occur, and exposing the protein to potentially destabilizing conditions [7]. For drug delivery devices the protein formulations must be stable for extended periods of time at body temperature and maintain their flowability for the expected life of the device.
- Solution formulations of proteins/peptides in non-aqueous polar aprotic solvents such as DMSO and DMF have been shown to be stable at elevated temperatures for long periods of time [8]. However, such solvent based formulations will not be useable for all proteins since many proteins have low solubility in these solvents. The lower the solubility of the protein in the formulation, the more solvent would have to be used for delivery of a specific amount of protein. Low concentration solutions may be useful for injections, but may not be useful for long term delivery at low flow rates.
- Proteins have been formulated for delivery using perfluorodecalin [9, 10], methoxyflurane [9], high concentrations in water [11], polyethylene glycol [12], PLGA [13, 14], ethylenevinylacetate/polyvinylpyrridone mixtures [15], PEG400/povidone [16]. However, these formulations were not shown to retain a uniform suspension of protein in viscous vehicle over long periods of time.
- Many biologically active compounds degrade over time in aqueous solution. Carriers in which proteins do not dissolve but rather are suspended, can often offer improved chemical stability. Furthermore, it can be beneficial to suspend the beneficial agent in a carrier when the agent exhibits low solubility in the desired vehicle. However, suspensions can have poor physical stability due to settling and agglomeration of the suspended beneficial agent. The problems with non-aqueous carriers tend to be exacerbated as the concentration of the active compound is increased.
- Dispersing powdered proteins or peptides in lipid vehicles to yield parenteral sustained release formulations has been investigated [17-21]. The vehicles used were either various vegetable (sesame, soy, peanut, etc.) or synthetic oils (e.g., Miglyol) gelled with aluminum fatty acid esters such as aluminum stearates (mono-, di- or tri-), or with a polyglycerol ester. Although theoretically these vehicles might preclude solution denaturation and protect the drug from aqueous chemical degradation, the vehicles themselves are unstable at higher temperatures. The storage of liquid vegetable oils at body temperatures results in the formation of reactive species such as free fatty acids and peroxides (a process which is accelerated by the presence of traces of various metal ions such as copper or iron which can leach from some implantable devices). These peroxides not only adversely affect protein stability [22] but would be toxic when delivered directly to, for example, the central nervous system of a human or animal.
- The sustained delivery of drugs has many advantages. Use of implantable devices assures patient compliance, since the delivery device is tamperproof. With one insertion of a device, rather than daily injections, there is reduced site irritation, fewer occupational hazards for practitioners improved cost effectiveness through decreased costs of equipment for repeated injections, reduced hazards of waste disposal, and enhanced efficacy through controlled release as compared with depot injection. The use of implantable devices for sustained delivery of a wide variety of drugs or other beneficial agents is well known in the art. Typical devices are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,034,229; 5,057,318; 5,110,596; and 5,782,396. The disclosure of each of these patents is incorporated herein by reference.
- For drug delivering implants, dosing durations of up to one year are not unusual. Beneficial agents which have low therapeutic delivery rates are prime candidates for use in implants. When the device is implanted or stored, settling of the beneficial agent in a liquid formulation can occur. This heterogeneity can adversely affect the concentration of the beneficial agent dispensed. Compounding this problem is the size of the implanted beneficial agent reservoir. Implant reservoirs are generally on the order of 25-250 μl, but can be up to 25 ml.
- Viscous formulations have been prepared using two separate components to be mixed with drug at use [23], thickening agents added to aqueous compositions [24], gelling agents added to aqueous drug solutions [25], porous textile sheet material [26], thickening agents with oleaginous material [27], viscous aqueous carrier for limited solubility drug [28], and extrudable elastic gels [29]. However, these formulations are mixed at use, contain aqueous components, use sheet matrices, or are delivered topically, orally, or intraduodenally.
- Stability of formulations can be enhanced by freeze-drying, lyophilizing or spray-drying the active ingredient. The process of drying the active ingredient includes further advantages such as compounds which are relatively unstable in aqueous solution can be processed and filled into dosage containers, dried without elevated temperatures, and then stored in the dry state in which there are relatively few stability problems. Pharmaceutical formulations, particularly parenteral products, should be sterilized after being sealed in the final container and within as short a time as possible after the filling and sealing have been completed. (See, for example Remington, Pharmaceutical Sciences, 15th ed. (1975)). Examples of sterilization techniques include thermal or dry-heat, aseptic, and ionized radiation. Combinations of these sterilization procedures may also be used to produce a sterile product.
- There is a need to be able to deliver protein compositions to the body which are stable at body temperatures over extended periods of time to enable long term delivery of the protein. There is a need to be able to deliver concentrations of proteins that are efficacious. There is a need for a novel non-aqueous formulation capable of homogeneously suspending proteins and dispensing such agents at body temperatures and low flow rates over extended periods of time.
- The present invention provides stable single phase non-aqueous biocompatible viscous vehicles capable of forming uniform suspensions with proteins. The components of the viscous vehicle comprise at least two of polymer, surfactant, and solvent. The ratios of the components will vary depending on the molecular weight of the components and the desired viscosity of the final vehicle. Presently preferred component ratios are: polymer, about 5% to about 60%; solvent, about 30% to about 50%; and surfactant, about 5% to about 20%.
- The present invention also provides stable formulations in which beneficial agents are uniformly suspended in stable single phase nonaqueous biocompatible viscous vehicles. In particular, the beneficial agents are formulated in the viscous vehicles at concentrations of at least about 0.1%, depending upon the potency of the beneficial agent. These stable formulations may be stored at the temperature appropriate for the beneficial agent, ranging from cold, to body temperature (about 37° C.) for long periods of time (1 month to 1 year or more). In a preferred embodiment the formulation comprises about 0.1 to 50% (w/w) of beneficial agent, depending on the potency of the beneficial agent, the duration of treatment, and the rate of release for the drug delivery system.
- These formulations are especially useful in implantable delivery devices for long term delivery (e.g., 1 to 12 months or longer) of beneficial agent at body temperature, preferably about 37° C. Thus, the present invention also provides for the delivery of said proteins to the body overextended period of time to enable long term delivery of the protein at low flow rates of about 0.3 to 100 μl/day, preferably about 0.3 to 4 μl/day for about a 6 month delivery period and preferably 5 to 8 μl/day for about a 3 month delivery period.
- In another aspect, the invention provides methods for preparing stable non-aqueous biocompatible formulations of a beneficial agent in a single phase viscous vehicle. Preferred formulations comprise about 0.1 to 50% (w/w) beneficial agent depending on the potency of the beneficial agent, the duration of treatment, and the rate of release from the delivery system. In yet a further aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a subject suffering from a condition which may be alleviated by administration of a beneficial agent, said methods comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of a stable non-aqueous formulation comprising at least one beneficial agent uniformly suspended in a single phase viscous vehicle.
- A further aspect of the invention is that non-aqueous single phase viscous vehicles containing beneficial agents are chemically and physically stable over a broad temperature range for long periods of time. The beneficial agents in the viscous vehicles are also chemically and physically stable over a broad temperature range for long periods of time. Thus, these formulations are advantageous in that they may be shipped and stored at temperatures below, at, or above room temperature for long period of time. They are also suitable for use in implantable delivery devices in which the formulation must be stable at body temperature for extended periods of time.
- The formulations of the present invention also remain stable when delivered from implantable drug delivery systems. The beneficial agents have been shown to exhibit zero order release rates when delivered from implantable drug delivery systems at very low flow rates over extended periods of time.

FIG. 9 andFIG. 10 are partial cross-sectional vies of two embodiments of the delivery device of the invention. -
FIG. 11 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the back-diffusion regulating outlet ofFIG. 9 . - The present invention is drawn to the unexpected discovery that uniformly suspending beneficial agents in non-aqueous single phase biocompatible viscous vehicles results in stable formulations which can be delivered at body temperature over an extended period of time at low flow rates. Previously known formulations of beneficial agents which are buffered aqueous or non-aqueous solutions which may or may not contain excipients do not provide formulations which can be uniformly dispensed at body temperatures at low flow rates over an extended period of time without exhibiting unacceptable amounts of aggregation or degradation of the formulation. The presently claimed formulations stabilize beneficial agents and can be stored at the temperature appropriate for the beneficial agent The temperatures can range from cold (not exceeding 8° C.) to body temperature (about 37° C.) for long periods of time. These formulations are especially useful in implantable delivery devices for long term delivery (e.g., 1 to 12 months or longer) of drug at low flow rates and at body temperature, preferably about 37° C.
- Standard beneficial agent formulations consist of dilute aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions. Drug stability is usually achieved by varying one or more of the following: pH, buffer type, ionic strength, excipients (EDTA, ascorbic acid, etc.) For these formulations, degradation pathways requiring water (hydrolysis, deamidation, racemization) cannot be fully stabilized. In the present invention, beneficial agents formulated in non-aqueous biocompatible single phase viscous vehicles containing for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone, vinyl acetate, and/or polyoxyethylenepolyoxypropylene block copolymers were shown to be chemically and physically stable. The viscosity of the formulation will depend upon a number of criteria, including the beneficial agent potency and concentration, and the process by which the formulation is prepared. The viscosity of the formulation can be chosen so that the desired amount of beneficial agent is delivered over the desired period of time.
- The invention also consists of non-aqueous single phase biocompatible viscous vehicles capable of uniformly suspending beneficial agents and formulations containing at least one beneficial agent uniformly suspended in said viscous vehicle. The invention also consists of formulations containing at least one beneficial agent uniformly suspended in a non-aqueous single phase biocompatible viscous vehicle, which formulations are stable for an extended period of time at body temperatures, and capable of delivering said beneficial agents uniformly at low flow rates. The discovery consists of the realization that stable non-aqueous viscous vehicles improve the stability of beneficial agents in a wide range of formulation conditions including concentration, elevated temperatures and duration of stable formulation, thus making possible the delivery of beneficial agents in long term implantable devices that would not otherwise be feasible.
- As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
- The term “chemical stability” means that an acceptable percentage of degradation products produced by chemical pathways such as oxidation, deamidation, or hydrolysis is formed. In particular, a formulation is considered chemically stable if no more than about 35% breakdown products are formed after 2 months at 37° C.
- The term “physical stability” means that an acceptable percentage of aggregates (e.g., dimers, trimers and larger forms) are formed by the beneficial agent. For the formulation (viscous vehicle and beneficial agent) this term means that the formulation retains stability, flowability, and the ability to uniformly dispense the beneficial agent. In particular, a formulation is considered physically stable if no more than about 15% aggregates are formed after two months at 37° C.
- The term “stable formulation” means that at least about 65% chemically and physically stable beneficial agent remains after two months at 37° C.

Currently preferred isascorbyl palmitate.
- The present invention is drawn to stable non-aqueous single phase biocompatible viscous vehicles capable of suspending beneficial agents and uniformly dispensing said beneficial agents at body temperatures at low flow rates over an extended period of time. The present invention is also directed to formulations containing beneficial agents uniformly suspended in said single phase biocompatible viscous vehicles which are stable for prolonged periods of time at body temperatures.
- Examples of beneficial agents that may be formulated using the present invention include those peptides or proteins that have biological activity or that may be used to treat a disease or other pathological condition. They include, but are not limited to, adrenocorticotropic hormone, angiotensin I and 11, atrial natriuretic peptide, bombesin, bradykinin, calcitonin, cerebellin, dynorphin N, alpha and beta endorphin, endothelin, enkephalin, epidermal growth factor, fertirelin, follicular gonadotropin releasing peptide, galanin, glucagon, GLP-1, gonadorelin, gonadotropin, goserelin, growth hormone releasing peptide, histrelin, human growth hormone, insulin, interferons, leuprolide, LHRH, motilin, nafarerlin, neurotensin, oxytocin, relaxin, somatostatin, substance P, tumor necrosis factor, triptorelin, vasopressin, growth hormone, nerve growth factor, blood clotting factors, ribozymes, and antisense oligonucleotides.

- The beneficial agents useful in the formulations and methods of the present invention can be used in the form of a salt, preferably a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Useful salts are known to those of skill in the art and include salts with inorganic acids, organic acids, inorganic bases, or organic bases.
- Beneficial agents that are not readily soluble in non-aqueous solvents are preferred for use in the present invention. One of skill in the art can easily determine which compounds will be useful on the basis of their solubility. The amount of beneficial agent may vary depending on the potency of the compound, the condition to be treated, the solubility of the compound, the expected dose and the duration of administration. (See, for example, Gilman, et. al, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 7th ed. (1990) and Remington, Pharmacological Sciences, 18th ed. (1990), the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.)
- It has been unexpectedly found that using a stable non-aqueous single phase biocompatible viscous vehicle increases the stability of the beneficial agent. For example, as seen in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , human growth hormone (hGH) was found to be stable at 37° C. over 12 weeks in formulations of polyvinylpyrrolidone/PEG; Pluronic; and glycerol monolaurate/lauryl lactate/polyvinylpyrrolidone.FIG. 1 shows stability results using reverse phase HPLC.FIG. 2 shows stability results using size exclusion chromatography. - Generally, stable non-aqueous single phase biocompatible viscous vehicles may be prepared by combining the dry (low moisture content) ingredients in a dry box or under other dry conditions and blending them at elevated temperature, preferably about 40 to about 70° C., to allow them to liquefy. The liquid vehicle is allowed to cool to room temperature. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to verify that the vehicle was single phase. The final moisture content of the viscous vehicle was <2%.
- Generally, the stable formulations of the present invention may be prepared by combining the vehicle and beneficial agent under dry conditions and blending them under vacuum at elevated temperature, preferably about 40 to about 70° C., to disperse the beneficial agent uniformly throughout the vehicle. The formulation is allowed to cool to room temperature.
- It has been found that drying the beneficial agent prior to formulation enhances the stability of the formulation.
- It has also been found that adding antioxidants, such as tocopherol, ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palm itate, butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, and propyl gallate reduces the formation of degradation products (e.g., unstable chemical intermediates) during sterilization.
- We have found that stable non-aqueous beneficial agent formulations utilizing viscous vehicles may be prepared by combining the ingredients for the viscous vehicle under dry conditions and blending them at elevated temperature to allow them to liquefy and form a single phase. Once a single phase viscous vehicle is formed, the vehicle is allowed to cool to room temperature. Beneficial agent is added with mixing at elevated temperature under vacuum to uniformly disperse it in the viscous vehicle.
- We have tested these beneficial agent formulations, for example formulations of hGH, for stability by subjecting them to accelerated aging tests. Results show that these formulations remained stable over extended periods of time. We have tested beneficial agent formulations, for example human growth hormone and lysozyme, for stability by suspending them in a variety of non-aqueous single phase viscous vehicles prepared according to the present invention, then subjecting them to accelerated aging at elevated temperatures. The stability of the formulations was measured. Results of these studies demonstrate that these formulations were stable at conditions that approximate or exceed storage for one year at 37° C.
- We have also tested beneficial agent formulations prepared as described herein for stability after 2.5 megarads gamma irradiation. Results show that these formulations remained chemically and physically stable after such irradiation.
- The following methods were used to perform the studies in the Examples that follow.
-
- 1. Preparing Protein powders
- Human Growth Hormone (obtained for example, from BresaGen Limited, Adelaide, Australia)
- The active agent was reconstituted in deionized water. The solution containing the active agent was buffer exchanged using an Amicon Diaflo® Ultrafiltration membrane (molecular weight cut-off 10,000).
- The diafiltrated active agent solution was spray dried using a Yamato mini-spray dryer. Powder was collected in a collection vessel through a cyclone trap. All handling of the spray dried powder took place in a dry box evacuated with nitrogen. The generated powder was analyzed for particle size and distribution, moisture content, protein content and stability by size exclusion and reverse-phase chromatography.
- It is known that the conformation of some proteins can be stabilized by the addition of a sugar (such as sucrose or mannitol) or a polyol (such as ethylene glycol, glycerol, glucose, and dextran.)
-
- 2. Preparation of Viscous Vehicles
- We have found that stable single phase biocompatible viscous vehicles may be prepared by combining the ingredients and blending them at elevated temperatures to allow them to liquefy and form a single phase. A differential scanning calorimetry scan showed one peak, indicative of a single phase. The mixing was completed under vacuum to remove trapped air bubbles produced from the powders. The mixer was a dual helix blade mixer (D.I.T.) which runs at a speed around 40 rpm. Higher speeds can be used but are not required.
- If a three component viscous vehicle is prepared, the solvent portion of the vehicle was added to the heated bowl of the mixer first, followed by the surfactant. The polymer was added last, and the ingredients were mixed until a solution (single phase) resulted. Vacuum was applied during mixing to remove air bubbles. The solution was dispensed from the bowl while at elevated temperature, and allowed to cool to room temperature. On cooling the vehicle exhibited increased viscosity. Two and single component gels were made using the same process.
-
- 3. Preparation of beneficial agent formulations
- To prepare the formulation, the single phase viscous vehicle was heated and then blended under vacuum with a weighed amount of beneficial agent. The beneficial agent and the single phase viscous vehicle were blended in the same manner as the vehicle was prepared, using a dual helix blade mixer (or other similar mixer). Mixing speed was between 40 and 120 rpm for approximately 15 minutes or until a uniform dispersion was attained. The resulting mixture was removed from the mixer, sealed in a dry container, and allowed to cool to room temperature.

- 4. Preparation of reservoirs
-
FIG. 9 shows one embodiment of the device according to the invention. InFIG. 9 a fluid-imbibingsystem 10 is shown that comprises animpermeable reservoir 12. Thereservoir 12 is divided into two chambers by apiston 16. Thefirst chamber 18 is adapted to contain an active agent and thesecond chamber 20 is adapted to contain a fluid-imbibing agent. A back-diffusion regulating outlet 22 is inserted into the open end of thefirst compartment 18 and a water-swellablesemipermeable plug 24 is inserted into the open end of thesecond chamber 20. InFIG. 9 , the back-diffusion regulating outlet 22 is shown as a male threaded member in a mating relationship with the smooth interior surface of thereservoir 12 thereby forming therebetween helical flow path 34. The pitch (x), the amplitude (y), and the cross-sectional area and shape of the helical path 34 formed between the mating surfaces of the back-diffusion regulating outlet 22 and thereservoir 12 as shown inFIG. 11 are factors that affect both the efficiency of path 34 preventing back-diffusion of external fluid into the formulation inchamber 18 and the back pressure in the device. The geometry ofoutlet 22 prevents water diffusion into the reservoir. In general, it is desired that these characteristics be selected so that the length of the helical flow path 34 and the velocity of flow of active agent therethrough is sufficient to prevent back-diffusion of external fluid through the flow path 34 without significantly increasing the back pressure, so that, following start-up, the release rate of the active agent is governed by the osmotic pumping rate. -
FIG. 10 is a second embodiment of the device of the invention with areservoir 12,piston 16 and plug 26. In this embodiment, theflow path 36 is formed between a threaded back-diffusion regulating outlet 40 and threads 38 formed on the interior surface of thereservoir 12. The amplitudes of the threaded portions of the back-diffusion regulating outlet 40 andreservoir 12 are different so that aflow path 36 is formed between thereservoir 12 and the back-diffusion regulating outlet 40. The water-swellablesemipermeable plugs FIGS. 9 and 10 respectively are inserted into the reservoir such that the reservoir wall concentrically surrounds and protects the plug. - In
FIG. 9 , the top portion 50 of theplug 24 is exposed to the environment of use and may form a flanged end cap portion 56 overlaying the end ofreservoir 12. Thesemipermeable plug 24 is resiliently engaged with the interior surface of thereservoir 12 and inFIG. 9 is shown to have ridges 60 that serve to frictionally engage thesemipermeable plug 24 with the interior ofreservoir 12. In addition, the ridges 60 serve to produce redundant circumferential seals that function before thesemipermeable plug 24 expands due to hydration. The clearance between ridges 60 and the interior surface of thereservoir 12 prevents hydration swelling from exerting stresses on thereservoir 12 that can result in tensile failure of thereservoir 12 or compression or shear failure of theplug 24. -
FIG. 10 shows a second embodiment of thesemipermeable plug 26 where the plug is injection molded into the top portion of the reservoir arid where the top of thesemipermeable plug 26 is flush with the top 62 of thereservoir 12. In this embodiment, the diameter of the plug is substantially less than the diameter of thereservoir 12. In both embodiments theplugs reservoir 12. - An example of assembly of a delivery device is as follows. The piston and inner diameter of the reservoir are lightly lubricated with silicon medical fluid. The
piston 16 is inserted into the open end ofchamber 20. Two osmotic engine tablets (40 mg each) are then inserted on top ofpiston 16. After insertion, the osmotic engine is flush with the end of the reservoir. Themembrane plug 24 is inserted by lining up the plug with the reservoir and pushing gently until the plug is fully engaged in the reservoir. Active agent is loaded into a syringe which is then used to fillchamber 18 from its open end by injecting the material into the open tube until the formulation is ˜3 mm from the end. The filled reservoir is centrifuged (outlet end “up”) to remove any air bubbles that are trapped in the formulation during filling. Theoutlet 22 is screwed into the open end of the reservoir until completely engaged. As the outlet is screwed in, excess formulation exits out of the orifice ensuring a uniform fill. - The reservoirs of implantable drug delivery devices (as disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/595,761, incorporated herein by reference) were filled with the appropriate hGH formulation. The formulation was filled into titanium reservoirs with a polymer plug blocking each end. The filled reservoir was then sealed in a polyfoil bag and placed in a stability testing oven.
- It should be noted that the formulations in the reservoirs of these devices are completely isolated from the outside environment.
