项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our long-term research goal is to develop an ophthalmic, nanofiber-based, biodegradable device that will provide extended release of therapeutic agents to the posterior segment of the eye via transscleral and intravitreal approaches. This platform device will address the major technical problem in the treatment of posterior eye diseases (diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and posterior uveitis), which is the need for repeated injections or long-term implantation of therapeutic agents with significant side effects. The specific aims of this Phase I project are to determine 1) which combinations and concentrations of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with triamcinolone acetonide and budesonide produce a structurally stable nanofiber composite material under dry and wet conditions; 2) the in vitro rate of drug elution from samples; 3) the effect of ethylene oxide sterilization on the drug-nanofiber mat samples; and 4) the in vitro biocompatibility of samples with human ocular epidermal keratinocytes and retinal pigment epithelial cells. The results of Phase I will be used to carry promising nanofiber PLGA-ophthalmic drug combinations forward to Phase II laboratory in vivo studies with the ultimate goal of an efficacious, safe, and commercially successful treatment option for the aging population with posterior eye diseases. There is tremendous market potential for a nanofiber-based, biodegradable sustained release corticosteroid delivery platform. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a primary cause of decreased vision in diabetic retinopathy, which is the number one cause of vision loss in the working age population in the U.S. and the western world. The estimated market potential for DME is estimated to be $1 Billion in the U.S. by 2013. Uveitis is a low frequency, high severity ocular disease which causes about 10% of blindness in the U.S. Posterior uveitis and macular edema are commonly treated with periocular and intravitreal injections. An intermediate-term (semi-annual), biodegradable corticosteroid implant with high potency and lower side effect profile is a very attractive alternative to repeated injections and available non-absorbed implanted devices. Corticosteroids are also being evaluated for treatment of wet macular degeneration (AMD) and vascular occlusive diseases. A prospective, multi-center National Eye Institute (NEI) trial is underway evaluating triple therapy using intravitreal triamcinolone and bevacizumab with photodynamic therapy for wet macular degeneration (VERTACL). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The exudative macular edema common to DME, uveitis, and AMD is a leading cause of blindness in the western world. The aim of this project is to develop a novel electrospun corticosteroid-laden, nanofiber-based drug delivery device. The successful completion of this project will reduce the morbidity and costs associated with ocular drug delivery, as well as improve vision loss in these common posterior segment diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的长期研究目标是开发一种基于纳米纤维的眼科，可生物降解的装置，该设备将通过跨层面和玻璃体内方法扩展到眼后部分的治疗剂。该平台设备将解决治疗后眼疾病（糖尿病性视网膜病，黄斑变性和后葡萄膜炎）的主要技术问题，这是需要重复注射或长期植入具有重大副作用的治疗药物。该阶段I项目的具体目的是确定1）在干燥和潮湿条件下，与三秒醇乙烯胺和布德索尼的聚（乳酸 - 乙二醇化）（PLGA）（PLGA）（PLGA）（PLGA）（PLGA）（PLGA）产生结构稳定的纳米纤维复合材料； 2）样品的体外药物洗脱率； 3）氧化乙烷灭菌对药物纳米纤维垫样品的影响； 4）样品与人眼表皮角质形成细胞和视网膜色素上皮细胞的体外生物相容性。第一阶段的结果将用于携带有前途的纳米纤维PLGA-噬菌体药物组合，以前进到体内II期实验室研究，其最终目标是为患有后疾病的老年人群提供有效，安全且在商业上成功的治疗方案。对于基于纳米纤维的可生物降解持续释放皮质类固醇递送平台的市场潜力。糖尿病性黄斑水肿（DME）是糖尿病性视网膜病变视力降低的主要原因，这是美国和西方世界的工作年龄人群中视力丧失的第一原因。到2013年，美国DME的估计市场潜力估计为10亿美元。葡萄膜炎是一种低频率，高严重的眼疾病，在美国后葡萄膜炎和黄斑炎引起约10％的失明，通常通过眼周和省内注射治疗。具有较高效力和较低副作用曲线的中期（半年度），可生物降解的可生物降解皮质类固醇是反复注射和可用的非吸收植入植入设备的一种非常有吸引力的替代品。还评估皮质类固醇治疗湿黄斑变性（AMD）和血管闭塞性疾病。一项前瞻性，多中心国家眼科研究所（NEI）试验正在进行评估三体曲安西酮和贝伐单抗具有光动力疗法的湿黄斑变性（VertaCl）的三重治疗。公共卫生相关性：DME，葡萄膜炎和AMD常见的渗出性黄斑水肿是西方世界失明的主要原因。该项目的目的是开发一种新型的含有纳米纤维的药物递送装置。该项目的成功完成将降低与眼药输送相关的发病率和成本，并改善这些常见的后段疾病的视力丧失。
