Definitions
- This relates to an improved method of local radiotherapy, and devices and compositions for accomplishing local radiotherapy.
- Radiation has been used for cancer therapy and to control local healing in areas as diverse as preventing excessive scar formation or reducing lymphoid infiltration and proliferation. More recently, radiation has been used to inhibit restenosis following coronary artery or peripheral artery angioplasty. Interstitial radiation by use of radioactivity incorporated into intravascular stents, delivery of radiation dose by use of catheters containing radioactive sources, and external beam radiotherapy have been used.
- the object of this invention is to provide an improved method for localized radiotherapy for the cure or alleviation of medical conditions.
- Radionuclides are incorporated in their elemental forms, as inorganic compounds, or are attached to a larger molecule or incorporated into the polymer, by physical or chemical methods. Ancillary structures may be employed to control the rate of release.
- the depot is preferably made of a biodegradable material which is selected to degrade at a known rate under conditions encountered at the site of application.
- the depot is preferably fluent, or capable of being made fluent, so that it may be deposited at a site in a conforming manner by minimally invasive means.
- the depot optionally is provided with means for controlling the rate of release of the radioactive compound. These means may include microparticles in which the radioactive compound is incorporated.
- the use of the polymeric depots provides a way of immobilizing the source of energy from a radioactive source at a remote site within the body, which can be accessible by a less invasive surgical procedure, such as by catheter or laparoscopy.
- the duration and total dose of radiation can be controlled by a combination of choice of the radionuclide, control of the rate of degradation of the polymer, and control of the rate of release of the radionuclide from the depot.
- excretion from the body in urine and stool can be favored by administering pharmaceutical agents which favor excretion.
- pharmaceutical agents which favor excretion.
- excretion can be favored by blocking thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine or iodinated compounds by systemic administration of non-radioactive iodine compounds, such as sodium iodide or Lugol's solution.
- the polymeric depots provide a method of delivery of a radioactive agent to a local site of disease for treatment, such as for prevention of restenosis following angioplasty.
- the method has advantages over other methods of local radiation delivery in all applications, because the duration and intensity of the exposure can be altered by choosing radionuclides of differing physical half-life, and the biological half-life can be controlled by accelerating or retarding the rate of release of the radionuclide from the polymeric matrix.
- This provides a way to control local dosage of radiation without the need for physical removal of the implanted radionuclide. Radioactivity can thus be applied at any site in the body that is accessible by a less invasive procedure or catheter, for example, to a coronary artery or a tumor arterial supply. This also allows the application of interstitial, implanted radiotherapy while minimizing the exposure of the operator to radiation that is sometimes necessary when using other currently available methods of providing local radiotherapy.
- Polymers for forming the depot must be biodegradable, i.e., must dissolve into small molecules which can be removed by normal metabolic functions and/or excretion, under the conditions found at the site of application of the depot.
- the polymers may be slowly soluble under body conditions, for example, certain poloxa ers, such as Pluronic TM F-68 (a polyethylene glycol-polyethylene oxide block copolymer marketed by BASF), which gel at body temperature and slowly dissolve over several days.
- Pluronic TM F-68 a polyethylene glycol-polyethylene oxide block copolymer marketed by BASF
- the fluidity of the polymers is altered using temperature. For example, polymers can be melted by heating or by cooling (e.g. , with PluronicsTM), and applied to the site, where the polymer will re-solidify.
- Depot formation can also be caused by other known means of coacervation, such as complexation of polymers with ions (e.g., alginate with calcium), direct coacervation of polymers (e.g. , polyglutamic acid with polylysine), and exsolvation of polymers by diffusional removal of non-water solvent molecules.
- Degradable linkages in the polymers include esters, orthocarbonates, anhydrides, amides and peptides, acetals, phosphazane linkages, and Schiff base adducts. Examples of groups forming suitable ester linkages include hydroxy acids, such as lactic, glycolic, hydroxy butyric, valerolactic and hydroxycaproic.
- Examples of anhydride-forming groups include oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, suberic, azelaic sebacic, maleic, fumaric and aspartic.
- Examples of carbonate-forming compounds include trimethylene carbonate.
- the polymers may be crosslinkable in situ.
- Crosslinking may be by any suitable chemical means. If chemically crosslinked, at least one of the polymer and the linkage formed must be biodegradable. Examples of biodegradable linkages include Schiff bases, anhydrides, disulfides, and acetals. Examples of other linkages, not necessarily biodegradable, include epoxy (oxirane) groups, urethanes, ester, ethers, amides, and sulfones. Linkages involving carbon-carbon double bonds may be formed by a variety of means, including the polymerization of ethylenically-unsaturated groups.
- the biodegradable polymer is dissolved in a solvent other than water (an "organic” solvent, broadly construed to include any biocompatible non-aqueous solvent) and deposited at the site, and precipitated as the organic solvent diffuses away from the site, forming a depot.
- organic solvent must not cause undue damage to -5- the tissue at the site. This will vary, depending on the tissue and on the condition to be treated. In many applications, ethanol, isopropanol, mineral oil, vegetable oil, and liquid silicones may be suitable.
- biodegradable polymer and any solvent or adjuvant included in the composition, must further be sufficiently biocompatible for the purposes of the therapy.
- a biocompatible material is one which arouses little or no tissue reaction to its implantation, and where any reaction is of limited extent and duration.
- the extent of irritation which is tolerable, or which will be elicited, depends on the site of application. For example, many polymers are minimally irritating on the skin, or within the digestive tract, while only a few polymers are acceptable in the peritoneum. Many materials of high biocompatibility (minimally irritating) are non-ionic and, after application, contain few reactive or potentially reactive groups. Preferred examples of such materials are poly (alky lene oxides), such as polyethylene glycols, poloxamers, meroxapols and the like.
- the depot formed by local deposition of an appropriate biodegradable polymer, normally in combination with the radioactive material at the time of deposition, will be structured to release the radioactive material in a known and predictable manner during biodegradation of the depot.
- the combined effects of radioactive decay and of controlled release will determine the total energy deposited into the target tissue. Numerous means are known for controlling the release rate of a material from a depot.
- a small radiolabelled molecule may be embedded in a degradable microsphere, from which it is slowly released by a combination of diffusion and degradation of the microspheres.
- the microspheres in turn are restrained at the site of therapy by a polymeric gel formed in situ, which itself provides minimal diffusion barriers and further gradually degrades. Selection of the relative degradation rates of the gel and of the microspheres will influence the total radiation dose administered to the site of therapy.
- microspheres includes microparticles, microcapsules, liposomes, lipid particles, and other formulations of similar size and function.
- Radioactive materials Any radioactive material may be used. Standard radionuclides which have been used for local radiotherapy may be used, such as radionuclides of iodine, iridium, radium, cesium, yttrium or other elements.
- Preferred radioisotopes are those which have a particle range in tissue which is concordant with the thickness of the layer of tissue to be treated. Information on particle ranges is readily available. For example, it is known that about 90% of the energy from a 14 C (carbon- 14) source will be absorbed in about the first 70 microns of tissue, and similar distances will be found for sulfur-35 and phosphorous-33, since their emitted particles are of the same kind as 1 C (beta particles) and of similar energies. More energetic beta particles would have a longer range, such as those of phosphorous-32, which has a maximum range of about a centimeter and thus can be used to treat thicker tumors, or blood vessels having multi-millimeter thick medial layers.
- the radioisotope must be administered in a pharmaceutically acceptable form.
- the form must be biocompatible, as described above.
- the form must also be capable of remaining at the site of application for a controlled length of time, in combination with a means for control of local delivery.
- the radioisotope could be in the form of an element, an inorganic compound, an organic compound, or attached to a larger molecule, such as a polymer.
- incorporation could be into a backbone group; as a side group, preferably covalently bonded; or as a ligand, bound to a suitable binding group on the polymer.
- a binding group could be a non-biological binding group, such as a chelator for metal ions; or a biological group for binding, such as avidin for biotin.
- the polymer could be biological, such as a protein, a polysaccharide or a nucleic acid; or it could be synthetic, such as a polyalkylene glycol or a ⁇ oly(meth)acrylate. Immobilization of Ions in a Gel
- Radioactive ions can be directly immobilized in a gel. In one embodiment, they may be locally converted to a low-solubility salt form, for example by precipitation with an appropriate salt, e.g. , as calcium phosphate, or as a ligand on a polymer, or as a cofactor bound to a biological molecule.
- an appropriate salt e.g. , as calcium phosphate, or as a ligand on a polymer, or as a cofactor bound to a biological molecule.
- radioactive ions are immobilized in a gel by chelation.
- a chelator can be covalently immobilized in a gel.
- the covalently linked chelator ('host') in turn can immobilize the metallic ion ('guest').
- Polymerizable macromers or small molecules can be synthesized bearing an appropriate chelator connected to the backbone.
- An example of a suitable molecule would be one which has one end(s) of the central backbone (e.g. , a polyalkylene oxide, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polypropylene oxide/polyethylene oxide (PPO/PEO) bearing a chelator, optionally attached through a spacer group such as a hydroxyacid.
- PEG polyethylene glycol
- PPO/PEO polypropylene oxide/polyethylene oxide
- the other end(s) of the PEG backbone would carry a polymerizable bond, with or without spacer groups.
- the presence of the backbone is optional; a chelating group could be directly coupled to a reactive group, such as an acryl, allyl or vinyl group, which would participate in the formation of a gel.
- An example of a chelator ('host') is the polyazamacrocycle cyclam
- Tc-99m An example of a guest is technetium-99m, a ⁇ -emitter for clinical applications, which emits only ⁇ -radiation, has a low radiation energy and a short half-life of only 6 hrs.
- Tc-99m can be used for monitoring physiological changes using scintigraphy, a highly sensitive 7-radiation-based technique used in most hospitals.
- chelator-bearing macromonomers can be delivered as solutions and 'gelled' in the target site using polymerizable crosslinkers (e.g. , PEG with aery late endgroups linked to the PEG by biodegradable spacers)).
- the degradation and other physical property of the resulting hydrogel can be tailored to desired specifications.
- the significance of such a gel is that: 1.
- Such hydrogels can be formed in situ and can bear a ⁇ -emitter or other medically useful isotope for various medical applications. 2. Since databases for various chelators are available from literature, it is straightforward to find an appropriate chelator to selectively immobilize a particular metal ion within a hydrogel. 3.
- Other possible applications of the concept include localized delivery or immobilization of medically useful nuclides, localized delivery of physiologically beneficial (and therapeutic) metal ions or other charged species.
- Medical Applications Applications of this technology include the local treatment of tumors, cancer, and other unwanted growths (e.g., atheromae, papillae); inhibition of scarring or healing to prevent excessive scar formation or keloid formation; preservation of surgically-created conduits, for example inhibition of healing over of the sclera following a filtration procedure for glaucoma; prevention of fibrosis and of capsule formation; and prevention of restenosis following angioplasty.
- the local depot can be placed at the site to be treated by any of several methods.
- a preformed depot can be applied and secured by appropriate adhesives.
- An external application would also require appropriate means for prevention of migration of the radioactive material.
- the depot-forming polymer preferably in combination with the radioactive material and any required excipients, accessory materials, and drug delivery means, is typically administered in a fluent form to the site of application by a delivery device, and caused or allowed to solidify at the site.
- Delivery devices can include percutaneous means such as catheters, cannulae, and needles; or means applied through natural or surgically created openings or through temporary openings, such as those created by trocars, using syringes, brushes, pads, or brushes.
- Similar means are used to apply any stimuli required to form the depot from the fluid polymer material.
- light may be brought to a remote site via an optical fiber, or a device similar to a laparoscope, to cause polymerization in a depot, or a chemical could be applied by means similar to those used for the depot-forming mixture.
- Dose control The method provides three ways of controlling the total dose delivered to a site, while simultaneously controlling exposure to other areas of the body. First, the total amount of isotope can be varied. Second, the half-life of the isotope can be selected; this provides an upper limit of the applied dose. Third, the lifetime of the radioisotope in the local delivery depot can be controlled.
- the depot could be a gel, and the rate of release of the macromolecule from the gel can be controlled by making the gel sufficiently dense so that the macromolecule is released only as the gel degrades.
- Such gels are known; for example, the gels described by U.S. Patent No. 5,410,016 to Hubbell et al. are suitable.
- the radioisotope is a small molecule, rather than a macromolecule, its rate of release can be controlled by embedding it in a solid bioerodable material, such as polylactide, polycaprolactone, a poly anhydride, or a polymerized biomaterial, such as protein. Then the small molecule is released by a combination of diffusion through the material, and erosion of the material, each of which is adjustable.
- the rate of release of a radioisotope may be regulated by selecting the strength of interaction of the molecule with its environment. For example, if both the molecule and the depot are relatively hydrophobic, then the molecule will diffuse out of the depot relatively slowly. If it is not practical to make the depot hydrophobic, then the molecule can be included in more hydrophobic microparticles, such as polymeric microparticles, liposomes, emulsions, etc. , which in turn are embedded within a hydrophilic depot.
- Example 1 Immobilization of a radionuclide in an interfacially deposited gel.
- a radionuclide ( 125 I or 131 I or other radionuclide) is deposited in an interfacial hydrogel following angioplasty, either coronary or peripheral, or intravascular stent placement, or carotid artery stent, or an arterectomy.
- the incorporated radionuclide is chosen to provide a total of exposure of at least 1500 cGy to the arterial wall.
- the delivered dose is adjusted by choosing the amount of incorporated radionuclide and is further controlled by choosing a formulation of hydrogel with a different persistence at the site of deposition.
- the duration of exposure at the site of deposition can be controlled by adjusting the biodegradable moieties of -li ⁇ the hydrogel or by changing the density of crosslink of the polymer at the site.
- Example 2 Local radiotherapy from a polymer applied via catherization.
- Local radiotherapy can be applied to any tumor which is accessible by a vascular catheter.
- This technique is particularly applicable to either highly vascularized tumors or tumors which have a single dominant arterial vascular supply.
- radioactive microspheres containing yttrium-90 are incorporated in a hydrogel that is deposited in the artery supplying a tumor. The local tumor volume in the area of deposition is radiated while the microspheres are immobilized at the site of deposition.
- the microspheres On degradation of the hydrogel, the microspheres are released and redeposited in the distal microcirculation, where they provide continued radiation treatment.
- the exposure at the site of an initial deposition can be regulated by controlling the rate of hydrogel degradation, either by adjusting the biodegradable moieties in the hydrogel or the density of crosslinking.
- the microspheres can be chosen for a longer time of degradation or elimination of greater than 320 hours, when five half-lives of the implanted yttrium-90 have expired and the vast majority of radioactive decay has occurred.
