Appl. No.:

10/175526

Inventors:

Marlene C. Schwarz - Auburndale MA, US
Robert E. Richard - Wrentham MA, US

Assignee:

Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN

International Classification:

A61F 2/00
A61K 47/32
A61K 9/14

US Classification:

424426, 5147724, 424486

Abstract:

A method is provided for modulating the rate of release of a therapeutic agent from a release region, which constitutes at least a portion of an implantable or insertable medical device and which controls the rate at which the therapeutic is released from the medical device. The method comprises: (a) providing a release region that comprises (i) a therapeutic agent and (ii) polymer composition comprising two or more immiscible phases; and (b) modulating the rate of release of the therapeutic agent by changing the volume that is occupied by at least one of the immiscible polymer phases relative to the total volume of the release region that is formed. The release region can be, for example, a carrier layer, which comprises the therapeutic agent, or a barrier layer, which is disposed over a region that contains the therapeutic agent. In preferred embodiments, the release region is formed by a process comprising: (a) providing a solution comprising (i) a solvent and (ii) the polymer composition; and (b) forming the release region from the solution by removing the solvent from the solution.

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

424425, 424422, 427 226, 604500

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for the formation of a medical device that comprises a therapeutic agent and a release region, which regulates the rate at which the therapeutic agent is released from the medical device. The method comprises providing a precursor region that comprises a polymer composition comprising two or more microphase separated polymer domains that are immiscible with one another, and forming said release region by a process that comprises applying an orienting field comprising an electric field, a magnetic field, a mechanical shear field, or a solvent gradient field, or a combination of two or more fields to said precursor region, wherein said field or combination of fields changes the spatial orientation of the microphase separated polymer domains within the release region. The electric, magnetic, mechanical shear or solvent gradient field is of sufficient strength to change the spatial orientation of the microphase separated domains. Moreover, the spatial orientation of the immiscible microphase separated polymer domains affects the rate of release of the therapeutic agent from the medical device.
