Definitions
- the invention relates to structures, systems, and methods for treatment of an eye.
- Exemplary embodiments provide ocular inserts used for drug delivery, along with methods for using ocular inserts positioned on or near the anterior segment of the eye.
- the exemplary inserts may be worn along the front surface of the eye outside the optical zone, and can deliver one or more drugs at a safe, therapeutically-effective level for at least thirty days.
- Eye drops and gels can be effective drug delivery vehicles, but can also have significant disadvantages. Specifically, eye drops mix with fluid in the tear film, but may have a residence time of only 2-5 minutes in the tear film. As little as 5% of the drug may be absorbed locally; some or all of the rest being carried from the lacrimal sac into the lacrimal duct and eventually absorbed into the bloodstream. The absorption into the bloodstream can have at least two adverse effects: first, most of the drug is wasted and, second, the presence of the drug in the bloodstream may have harmful side effects on the rest of the body.
- Such solid ocular dosage forms appear to present significant potential advantages over drop-administered drug treatments of the eyes.
- eye drug delivery implants might help overcome low patient compliance, the difficult application and frequent misapplication of traditional eye drops and other dosage forms, and limited effective drug absorption presented by eye drops, while potentially facilitating the advantageous application of advances in polymer chemistry and introduction of the concepts of sustained/controlled drug release from other known drug-delivery systems.
- new drug delivery devices, systems, and methods would be beneficial, particularly for delivering therapeutic compounds to the anterior segment of the eye. It would be particularly advantageous to provide improved ocular inserts so as to gain both physician and user acceptance, with such inserts ideally being easy to insert and remove, providing patient comfort, being non-toxic and not interfering with vision or oxygen penetration, allowing for reproducible release kinetics, and/or being easy to manufacture at a reasonable price.
- the present invention provides therapeutic systems and methods of delivery of at least one drug.
- Exemplary embodiment delivers one or more drugs from an ocular insert to an anterior portion of an eye, with the insert.
- inventions of the present invention provide a therapeutic system.
- the therapeutic system comprises an ocular insert.
- the ocular insert is placed on a region outside an optical zone of an eye.
- the ocular insert comprises two structures: a first skeletal structure and a second cushioning structure.
- the first structure functions as a skeletal frame which maintains positioning of the implant along the anterior portion of the eye and provides support to the second, cushioning structure. This first structure maintains the attachment of the therapeutic system to the anterior portion of the eye for at least thirty days. In some embodiments the first structure remains a constant size and shape, e.g. a ring shape, a ring with haptics, or a curvilinear ring that is confined to and restrainingly engages the inferior and superior conjunctival fornices so as to retain the implant within the tear fluid and/or against the tissues of the eye.
- a constant size and shape e.g. a ring shape, a ring with haptics, or a curvilinear ring that is confined to and restrainingly engages the inferior and superior conjunctival fornices so as to retain the implant within the tear fluid and/or against the tissues of the eye.
- the first structure stretches or changes shape so as to maximize its attachment to the anterior structure of the eye.
- the drug may be dispersed in or on the first structure, on or in the second structure, or both.
- the therapeutic system is designed for easy insertion and removal by the patient.

- Figs. 17-1 to 17-2 show an alternative insertion device comprising a flexible curved band.
- Figs. 1-1 and 1-2 show an anatomical tissue structure of an eye 2 suitable for treatment with ocular inserts.
- the eye 2 includes a cornea 4, an iris 6, and a white-colored sclera 8.
- a substantially transparent conjunctival layer 10 covers the sclera 8.
- Posterior to the cornea 4 lies a crystalline lens 12.
- a retina 14 that responds to light is located in the posterior portion of the eye.
- a fovea 16 is a part of the retina that provides sharp focused vision.
- the cornea 4 and lens 12 refract light to form an image on the fovea 16 and retina 14.
- Fig. 1-2 shows the lacrimal system 18 which is responsible for producing and draining the tear fluid.
- the lacrimal system consists of two general areas: first, the lacrimal gland 20, which secretes the tears, and its excretory ducts 22, which transport the fluid to the surface of the eye and, second, the lacrimal canaliculi 24, the lacrimal sac 26, and the nasolacrimal duct 28, which bring the tear fluid is conveyed into the nose cavity.
- Fig. 2-1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a therapeutic system 30.
- the therapeutic system 30 comprises an ocular insert 31, and may also include an insertion device, a configuration altering material that dissolves (or swells, weakens, tightens, or effects some other activation mechanism) to reconfigure the implant from an insertion configuration to a deployed configuration, or the like.
- activation of the insertion device may also reconfigure the insert from the insertion configuration to the deployed configuration, or may simply releasably hold the insert in a manner so as to assist insertion.
- the ocular insert may not undergo significant changes in shape or other properties before, during, or after deployment.
- the ocular insert is eventually positioned on a region outside an optical zone of an eye.
- the ocular insert comprises two structures: a first structure 32 and a second structure 34.
- Fig. 2-1 shows the exemplary therapeutic system 30 placed outside the optical zone of the eye.
- the first structure functions as a skeleton which largely holds the implant in place relative to the structures of the eye, thereby attaches the implant to the eye, and thus provides support for the cushioning structure relative to the anterior portion of the eye.
- This first or skeletal structure preferably maintains the attachment of the therapeutic system to the anterior portion of the eye for at least thirty days. Should it become medically desirable or should a patient so desire, the therapeutic system may be removed sooner than the thirty days; however, from a physical standpoint, it is capable of maintaining the ocular insert of the anterior surface of the eye for at least thirty days.
- the first structure may continue to help maintain the overall implant in the eye for sixty days or more, for ninety days or more, or even for 180 days or more, ideally with safe and effective delivery of therapeutic agents continuing throughout such implant periods.
- Alternative treatment devices and methods may benefit from shorter implant periods, optionally for periods of one or more days, at least a plurality of days, a week or more, two weeks or more, or the like.
- the first structure may determine the overall shape of the ocular insert.
- the first structure typically comprises a thin metal wire, a hard plastic such as nylon, PMMA, polycarbonate, polyethylene terepthalate, and/or another polymer, polypropylene or other synthetic suture material capable of providing the structural support to maintain the therapeutic system attached to the eye.
- the first structure may also comprise a coated plastic or metal such that the coating contains the therapeutic medication or provides easier attachment of the second, cushioning element to the skeletal member.
- the first structure may have a surface treatment such as plasma etching or the like to enable the second structure to be suitably attached to the skeletal member.
- Fig. 2-1 shows a basic embodiment of the first structure.
- the first structure 32 is annular or ring-shaped and, has a diameter of at least 8mm, and is sized to fit outside the optical zone of the cornea so as not to interfere with patient vision.
- the annulus of first structure 32 will preferably comprise a complete ring or torroid, but may have some gap along its circumference. The arc angle of the annulus in such embodiments will be over 180°.

- This eccentric design may also stabilize the device in a more fixed position and be less likely to rotate out of position or move into the optical zone of the eye.
- targeting delivery to the cul-de-sac may enable more effective delivery of some medications to the nasolacrimal system in addition to the ocular surface, such as in the case of nasal allergy medications.

- Dry eye medication includes cyclosporine.
- Drug elution can be controlled either through concentration of the drug present, or by embedding into or combining the drug with various other compounds.
- the drug's particular solubility characteristic, whether hydrophobic or hydrophilic, will determine the means of controlling the rate of elution for that particular drug.
- the drug may be finely ground up and dispersed into the second cushioning structure comprising silicone or a polymer such as hydrogel that is highly hydrophilic.
- Hydrophilic drugs can either be immobilized in a first structure, e.g. a plastic, or a second structure such as a hydrogel.
- the specific choice of polymers used for immobilizing depends on the drug and its characteristics, the rate of elution desired, and the wall thickness of the coating that contains the drag which may also alter the rate of elution. For instance, if the drug is embedded in a first polymer, then the wall thickness of the second polymer may at least in part control the rate at which the drug passes through. Conversely, the wall thickness of the coating may be used to control drug release if the drug is embedded into the skeletal element.
- ком ⁇ онент may include choice of substrate material for the skeleton and whether the drug can be incorporated into the skeleton, then cast into the specific skeletal shape, and then coated with a hydrogel or other polymer.
- surfactants comprising bile salts (e.g. deoxycholate, taurodeoxycholate, and glycocholate) or calcium chelators, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), may be added to increase their solubility.
- bile salts e.g. deoxycholate, taurodeoxycholate, and glycocholate
- calcium chelators such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)
- the drug particles may be coated, a less soluble salt form of the drug may be produced, or a rate-limiting coating, polymer, or other material may be incorporated in and/or on the delivery matrix such that the distance the drug travels to exit the device or the resistance of the material to passage of the drug restricts flow of the drug from the device.
- Other variables include whether or not the polymer absorbs enough aqueous/tear fluid to force the drug out of the matrix, such as a sponge-like or naturally porous material or a material with artificially created pores or other materials that saturate such that an osmotic pumping effect occurs.
- the surface area and geometric configuration of the therapeutic system can also be used to control the elution rate of the drug.
- the geometric configuration of the therapeutic device can be thus designed to maximize, or minimize, the flow of tear fluid over the therapeutic system, according to the specific need. For example, an increased surface area will increase the contact area between the drug and the tear fluid.
- the device could also be constructed such that it has more delivery area/surface area in the lower or upper fornix depending on if a targeted delivery is desired. Conversely, to decrease the elution rate of the drug, the contact area between the eye and the drug particles should be decreased.
- the second structure also comprises a coating to further soothe the patient's eye.
- the coating may comprise a lubricious material, e.g., Hydak® hyaluronan-based coating from Biocoat.
- Hydak® hyaluronan-based coating from Biocoat.
- the advantages of Hydak include that it is lubricious when wet, biocompatible, highly hydrophilic, may be applied using thin, flexible coatings, and it is a carrier for bioactive substances.
- Other coatings could also include either hydrophilic or drug delivery coatings from SurModics (hydrophilic or drug delivery) and Hydromer.
- some embodiments will be coated so that the ocular inserts will have a firm texture during insertion. Once such ocular inserts are in place, the coating will dissolve to allow the ocular insert to become more comfortable for every-day use.
- the therapeutic system may first be placed onto the eye by a physician and then, once a desired drug-delivery time period is complete, subsequently be removed from the anterior surface of the eye by the same or a different physician.
- the physician may optionally then teach the patient how to insert and then take out the ocular implant by him- or herself.
- a challenge to insertion and removal of the device comes from maintaining the fine balance between rigidity and flexibility.
- a device that is too flexible will be very difficult to insert; while a device that is too rigid will be uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
- One way of maintaining the fine balance between rigidity and flexibility is by folding or pinching the device into various shapes.
- the folds in the device create a structure that maintains its shape more effectively during insertion and thus is more "pushable" than a ring structure that deforms easier.
- One alternative for maintaining the folds in the device for purposes of insertion is to tether the folds with a dissolvable material until the device is placed in the eye.
- the dissolvable material allows for a slow release of the shape back into a ring.
- Fig. 11-1 shows a ring-shaped ocular insert 31 in which separated and/or opposed portions are approximate or pinched in toward the center to form a non-planar taco shape 82.
- the pinched ring-shaped device can be positioned such that one end can be slipped under the lower or upper lid, then the other end can be positioned under the other lid.

- Example 1 Calculation of a Drug's Therapeutically Effective Dosage for an Ocular Insert -
- the drug Olopatadine for treatment of allergic conditions, will demonstrate a method that can be used in calculating a drug's therapeutically effective plant-delivered dosage based on a drop-administered treatment regimen for that drug.
- the calculation method involves the following steps: 1.) determining the number of drops desired per application; 2.) multiplying the number of drops by 30 uL (the volume of one drop); 3.) determining the amount of solid drug per uL; 4.) multiplying the results from step 2 by the result from step 3, to find out the amount of solid drug to be applied to the eye on a daily basis; 5.) multiplying the result in step 4 by the number of days of therapy desired for the particular drug; and 6) multiplying by the efficiency of drug delivery. This final amount will preferably be dispersed from an ocular insert.
- Olopatadine is an ophthalmic antihistamine (H 1 -receptor) and mast cell stabilizer.
- the usual adult dosage for Olopatadine may be, for example, one drop in each affected eye twice a day, when using the 0.1 % solution and one drop per day in each affected eye, when using the 0.2% solution.
- Example 2 Drug Delivery Procedure & Elution Rate Control for a Hydrophilic Drug —
- Olopatadine HCl (OH) for ophthalmic applications can be formulated as a 0.2% (2 mg/mL) solution.
- a single 50 uL drop containing 100 ug of OH may be instilled in the eye once a day for 2 weeks.
- At least 70 ug in dry form could be loaded into the implant and released into the tear film by partitioning the drug reservoir with a membrane (e.g. HEMA, PVA, PVP, GMA, dialysis tubing of cellulose, etc) or embedding the drug within the implant.
- a membrane e.g. HEMA, PVA, PVP, GMA, dialysis tubing of cellulose, etc
- the release rate could be controlled by altering the surface area exposed to the tear film to tailor the desired 5 ug/day (0.21ug/hour), by altering a drug release controlling membrane, or the like. It is again assumed in this calculation that 100% of the targeted dose gets to its target location without being washed out with tear film, and more accurate calculations can be performed using wash-out data.
- the outside of the implant could be coated for either example with a bolus of the drug for immediate dosing while the hydration process, and thus flux of drug across the membrane or through the reservoir can take place.
- These coatings could be in solid drug form with a readily dissolvable layer (e.g. starch, sugar) to maintain placement of the solid drug upon the exterior of the implant.
- Example 3 Drug Delivery Procedure & Elution Rate Control for a Hydrophobic Drug -
- Prednisolone acetate suspension (10 mg/mL) is given 2 drops (total of approximately 100 uL volume) 4 times daily for a week. Working with the estimate that 5% of a dose is actually available for absoiption into the cornea, this amounts to 20 ug/day of Prednisolone acetate. A week's available dose is then 140 ug. The solubility of Prednisolone acetate in aqueous solutions is approximately 240 ug/mL.
- At least 140 ug of solid Prednisolone acetate could be loaded into the implant, allowing the Prednisolone acetate to dissolve into the tear layer at a rate of about 0.83 ug/hour.
- the rate could be controlled by the porosity of the implant as well as the surface area exposed to the tear film.
