Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005044366
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system and method for trandermally delivering a vaccine to a patient including an iontophoresis delivery device having a donor electrode, a Counter electrode, and electric circuitry for supplying iontophoresis energy to the electrodes, and a non-electroactive microprojection member having a plurality of stratum corneum-piercing microprojections extending therefrom. The vaccine can be contained in a hydrogel formulation in an agent reservoir disposed proximate the donor electrode, in a biocompatible coating that is disposed on the microprojections or in both.
