Title:
PREVENTION OF LOCAL TUMOR RECURRENCE FOLLOWING SURGERY USING SUSTAINED AND/OR DELAYED RELEASE OF MEDICAMENTS CONTAINED IN MICRO-PARTICLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/125862
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A compound and a method of use with a therapeutic medicament and a drug delivery system. The therapeutic medicament and the drug delivery system comprises two different types of micro-particles based on a biodegradable polyester whereby a first plurality of micro-particles containing anticancer drug or medicament without an initial burst release and a second pluraliy of micro-particles (II) that release wound healing drug or medicament.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

|0I| Tfee present inwatlon comprises a treatment, roc ss .following, cancer snrgery.. Mere specifically, the preserst. kiyeitiiffn eompn&s a ocal chesnotherap-y treatment process after surgery to pr vent d al caster recarre&ee using a sustained, controlled chemotherapeafic or biologic therapy r»g dliv ry system.

(02] Here a e fear major types of eaucer r tmen; 1) surgery 2} chemoth r py 3) radiation 4} biologic he apy. If the iimrnt appears to e coiifined ta : «¾ie area (localized -and not metasatic), surger ma be used to remove it al ng with an .nearby tissue that might coetatit ca.nce.roas cells. It I often difficult to predeermi e how large the snrgerkal resection will be, The surgeon generally makes that deferniiaatioo w en (s)he sees he extent of the cancer during the operational procedure. Surgery Is most sssccessftd when the cancer has not metastasized (spread to other organs). Surgery offers the greatest chance of enre or long ter.rs remssi n .for many type® of c»nee.r« However, even ate * snrgery, cancer y recur afer several years. This cancer recurrence may be d»e to some residual cancer cells hich were not removet! during the surgery. To- kill these residual, cancer cells, p tsurgc l Barfey e at, e o ie that j>o -sargieal . i thn therapy reduced the : risk xecB ren.e dwrfag lie 18 years after breast cancer surgey from 3S% to 133% mi reduced the risk of death imm breast eaacer item 252% to 21.4% ove the .first IS yean (Lmm * (2M !)).

C«rrea as oncologists in the 1LS> use t¾e radiati n thera y after hi geeo r (breast* conser ing surgery) as siaadard procedure. However, It Is ex ensive ($ ,100 -- .12,000} ad cu¾»bersoi»e (4-5 weeks treament), in addition, there are side effects, i»d»dIog skm b»r»s and fatigue, Aefcs et ».!, ep ted tha syste de dH'^ lwrany alter sorgery led to higher rates of dsease-free mni »veralisnrv!val for w®t»es* with Isolated or e i nal cu rence ef breast cancer (2012€T C~ €E San Aat aio Breast Cancer S m osia^), However, systemic: eb oolKra y is expeofrec a d mi m&mfiilm all treated patients.

The pt ¾¾Mil¾a ed film prevented local eaoee ecurrence m 13,3% of mke compared with i2S¾ m ' i® ®&Mm,.

Ho weve, the polymer deveoped sod ssecl in their system is dificelt is sy hesfee a d ins possesses less com.merd.aI value. In addition, the polymer is a novel orm. Regoiaiory authorities woai require proof ef safety before a vn it for «.se in meilieal applieati.o.».t Bretn et al. (IIS 2¾l.2 .i.21S18 At) desc ibed two •methods to achieve tie above id l properties; 1) desgning and preparing artcls wMclvdoooi release antcancer drugs for a roximael 2 ·-· 3 weeks and

administering them mmediately after s&r r or 2} o odmio lo particles which releas -a.atica.8eer drag Immediately nntil 2 - 3 weeks- after snrgery. Method 1} is dffieolt to achieve at a commercial t aoaiacorlog scale; the aothors id sot clearly describe how to ima such particles. Method 2} quires injection by a syringe which will be pain»! to patients. In additon, the injection may net distribute particles In e enire area where there mm be resldnal tumor cells, Ognra et at (Snrgery, 66-71 (2086)} applied a fixture of genidta ne (anticancer drag) a d fibrin lue (biocompatible hemostat) to the toll of the pancreas o nude mice whkh were mjeded wlth ' SUIT~2 ' homan pancreatic -cells. This local drag delivery system aimed to demonstrate the raldbifkm of proliferation of resldnal pancreatic cancer cells. GL!ADEL® wafer Is the most eI~kao o local anticancer dra delivery s sem mannfactnred nd commercialized by MGI Pharma.
