Q

What is the reason for the lack of recent activity in formulating optical inserts?

A

Commercial failure of inserts is largely attributed to psychological factors including

reluctance to abandon traditional droppable formulations and occasional ejection from the eye which occurs in Ocusert

Q

What is durasert?

A

Technology system where there is a drug core surrounded by one or more polymer layers

This delivers drugs to predetermined periods of time ranging from days to years

Drug release is controlled by permeability of polymer layers

Vitrasert contains ganciclovir for cytomegalovirus, retinits, EVA and PVA. Treatment for 8-6 months

Retisert ckntains fluocinolonen for on-infectious posterior uveitis. Delivers drug for up to 1,000 days

Q

What is I-Vation TA?

A

Delivery of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) into vitreous

Contains titanium helical coil coated with TA and non biodegradable polymers like poly(methyl)methacrylate and EVA

The implant has an in vivo sustained delivery for minimum of 2 years

Q

What is NT-501?

A

Encapsulated cell technology which provides extracellular delivery of ciliary neurotrophic factor through longterm and stable intraocular release at constant doses through device implanted in vitreous

Contains human RPE cells (ARPE-19) which are genetically modified to secrete recombinant human CNTF

There is a semi-permeable membrane to allow outward. Diffusion of CNTF and other cellular metabolites

The inward diffusion of nutrients is necessary to support cell survival in vitreous cavity while protecting contents from host cellular immunologic attack.

Well tolerated for 6months implantation

Q

What is IBI-2009?

A

Injectable Particulate system which uses Verisome drug delivery platform technology

  • Verisome is a translucent liquid
  • when IBI-2009 mixes with saline, solution becomes milky, slightly opaque and forms a gel
  • lasts for up to a year
  • designed to disappear in weeks to months as required when injected into anterior chamber of eye
16
Q

What is RETAAC?

A

Injectable particulate system where PLGA microspheres contain triamcinolone acetonide to form a superior long term pharmacologic performance compared to naked TA-injected eyes

17
Q

What is Cortiject?

A

Injectable particulate system with comprising of preserve free emulsion composed of oily carrier and phospholipid as surfactant

Encapsulates a target tissue-activate corticosteroid pro drug
This released DEX-palmitate is de-esterified by retina-specific esterase and activated as DEX
Provides sustained release over 6-9 months

18
Q

What is Visudyne?

A

Injectable particulate system comprising of IV liposomal formulation containing verteporf (photosensitiser)

  • used in photodynamic therapy for predominantly classic subfoveal choroidal Neo-vascularisation due to AMD, pathological myopia or presumed ocular histoplasmosis
19
Q

What physical devices are used in ODD?

A

Inotophoresis

20
Q

What are the advantages of iontophoresis?

A

Non invasive

Drives charged molecules across sclera and into choroid, retina and vitreous

21
Q

What are the limitations with iontophoresis?

A

Limited to drugs of small size, an ionic nature and low MW

Existing drugs may need reformulation to confer electric charge so they can be utilised within this system

22
Q

What is micro electromechanical intraocular drug delivery device?

A

Another form of physical device for ODD

The device can be refilled with the drug solution and consists of electrolysis chamber with electrolysis actuation to precisely deliver desired dosage volume

Also contains drug reservoir with refill port, battery and electronics

23
Q

What is mHealth?

A

Broadly defined as delivery of health related services to patients, clinicians, caregivers through mobile technology platforms on cellular or wireless networks

This includes, but are not limited to tablets, cell phones (hardware and software), smart phones, mobile-enabled diagnostic devices, or devices with mobile alert systems

24
Q

What is the implication of mHealth in the industry?

A

Projected to be a 26billion dollar industry by 2017
With over 97,000 health and fitness related mobile apps currently on Google play, Apple Store and with 4million downloads per day

25
Q

What are the categories of mHealth?

A 
Health apps
Health devices
Emergency alarms
Diagnostic tools
Therapeutics
26
Q

What are the different apps available?

A 
Food apps
Drink apps
Fitness apps
Weightloss apps
Rest and relaxTion
Woman's health
Men's health
Sexual health
Eye exam
Mental health
27
Q

What is the miniature wireless drug implant?

A

A drug release implant which is powered and controlled by the patient using a wireless link

The device has a number of micro sealed silicon reservoirs containing the required drug

The system uses an electrochemical reaction to remove a gold cap on the reservoir containing one dose of the drug,

The wireless power transfer means there is no need for a battery

28
Q

What are the advantages of smart implants?

A

Controlled triggered drug release
Dose individualisation
Dose termination
Releasing drug in controlled manner at a required site
