TRANSDERMAL TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHOD

Field and Background of the Invention

[0OJ ] This invention relates to a composition and device for treating certain conditions such as seizures or other medical occurrences or conditions. Particularly, the invention is for a composition and device which, especially in combination, can be easily carried by a person, or the caregiver of a person, who suffers from the periodic onset or attack of a condition such as, for example, a seizure and which can be applied quickly and simply to effectively treat the condition.

[002] In this specification, the term "medical condition" should be broadly interpreted to include any health related matter, elective or otherwise, regardless of its seriousness and may include the use of nonprescription creams, lotions or other compositions.

[003] One important condition which can be treated in accordance with the present invention is, as mentioned, a seizure. Typically, people prone to seizures have these attacks periodically, but it is almost impossible to predict when a seizure will commence or what environmental stimuli may trigger a seizure.

What is most important, however, is that the seizure be treated as soon as possible to reduce or minimize the deleterious effects thereof and the present invention provides a mechanism for effective treatment almost instantaneously and without regard to location. It is not necessary in accordance with the present invention for the effective treatment that appropriate medication be provided in a manner which requires a trained health professional, such as through injection or other invasive medical procedures which may embarrass the person receiving the medication.

[004] While the invention may constitute a particularly effective mechanism for the treatment of seizures, it must be appreciated that the invention can be used in a large number of different treatments and medical conditions, some of which will be mentioned herein. Generally, the principles of the invention will be described with respect to representative medical conditions with the understanding that the invention can be widely applied in many contexts. Attached to this specification is Table I which although providing a fairly detailed list of possible applications for the present invention is not intended to be exhaustive or definitive.

Summary of the Invention

[005] In one aspect, the invention relates to a formulated composition having an active ingredient selected for its ability to treat a medical condition. The active ingredient is preferably in a form which

is best suited to the treatment in accordance with the invention.

[006] In another aspect, the invention is for a device which is configured for the effective and relatively simple delivery of the composition in accordance with the invention, preferably a delivery which is topical and delivered to a part of the body which is readily accessible in normal conditions. The delivery device of the invention is designed for easy transportation and ready availability, as well as for simple and effective administration to the patient in a manner which can be performed by untrained individuals.

[007] The device of the invention may also include protective components, such as a protective sheath, for use by a person applying the composition in order to protect the person from absorbing the composition on the hands as it is applied. The protective component may take many forms, such as a latex sheath for covering the finger, the hand or other configuration.

[008] According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a treatment device for treating a medical condition, the device comprising: a composition selected for its ability to treat the medical condition, the composition being formulated for transdermal delivery; and a portable container comprising a body for accommodating the composition in a sealed arrangement, a frangible seal on the container which can be ruptured to enable discharge of the composition from the body, and an application component on the container for facilitating transdermal delivery of the composition.

[009] In one form, the composition may be in gel form, such as for example Diestat® gel.

[010] In one of many embodiments, the composition is diazepam. In other embodiments, the composition may be selected from one of the following: Botox®, Viagra®, Cialis®, Levitra®, Nicotine, and Glycolic Acid. Furthermore, the composition may be selected from one of the generic name substances or drugs as set forth in Table I which is attached to this description.

[01 1 ] In one embodiment, the portable container comprises a finger ring. The portable container may also comprise a necklace, a bracelet, or a bandage, to name a few examples only.

[012] Preferably, the application component on the container comprises a vibrator. In one form, the vibrator is a vibrating capsule have a power source and switch for activating the vibrator. The vibrator, when moved over the composition during or after application thereof to the skin of the person requiring the treatment, assists in the transdermal delivery of the composition into the blood stream of the person

thereby maximizing the effect of the composition in the shortest possible time.

[013] Preferably, the finger ring comprises a band portion worn around the finger, a chamber for accommodating the composition, and a chamber for a vibrator. The device may also comprise a latex sheath, contained in a chamber or space in the ring, the latex sheath to be worn by a person facilitating transdermal delivery to prevent any portion of the composition from adversely affecting the person facilitating transdermal delivery, as mentioned.

[014] Preferably, the composition comprises an active ingredient for treating the medical condition, the active ingredient being present as a dosage of about 0.05mg/ml - 50mg/ml. In one embodiment, the active ingredient is present in the amount of about 0.5mg/ml - 30mg/ml, and an optimal dosage may be when the active ingredient is present in the amount of about 5mg/ml - 20mg/ml.

[015] Preferably, the composition further comprises liposome cream as a carrier and a penetration enhancer, and may also comprise DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide), which may be present in the amount of about 0.05% to about 90% as an example only, for skin penetration enhancement.

[016] According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of treating a medical condition comprising: providing a composition selected for its ability to treat the medical condition, and formulating the composition for transdermal delivery; placing the composition in a sealed chamber of a portable container; rupturing a frangible seal of the chamber when the composition is needed for treatment to enable discharge of the composition from the body; applying the composition to an accessible part of a person being treated with the composition; and facilitating the application of the composition to the person by utilizing an application component formed on the container to enhance transdermal delivery of the composition to the person.

[017] Although the composition may be applied to many parts of the body, one particularly effective location of application is the area behind or below the ear, especially for anti-psychotic drugs. Not only is this area easily accessible at almost all times, but it is also an area where transdermal delivery may be carried out effectively. Furthermore, the proximity of this area to the brain is also of great import especially of the condition being treated is a seizure and the composition needs to reach the blood flowing to the brain as soon as possible to initiate the effects of the composition and stop the seizure.

[018] Preferably, the application of the composition is facilitated by a vibrator to improve rapid

transdermal delivery of the composition to the person. The vibrator speeds up absorption of the composition in the skin and the blood stream and may be part of a device kit for the treatment method of the invention. Furthermore, the method contemplates the use of a latex sheath, which may also be a part of the device kit, to protect the person applying the composition by preventing absorption of the medication by such person's fingers.

[019] The method, as mentioned above, may be configured to facilitate the application of the composition to the person being treated behind or below the ear or temple of the treated person, especially when anti-psychotic drugs are being applied.

[021 ] Figure 2 is a schematic view of a ring in accordance with the invention which contains the composition in a sealed manner until needed, and also contains a vibrator and latex sheath;

[022] Figure 3 shows schematically a series of bandages of different shapes which may be used in applying the composition in accordance with the invention.

Detailed Description of the Invention [023] The present invention is a novel formulation of one of many different possible compositions, one of which may be diazepam (sold under the brand name Valium®), that can be applied to the skin to abort or arrest a medical condition, a seizure attack in the case where diazepam is used, within minutes. The constituents of this cream allow the medication to penetrate the skin rapidly. It is then absorbed by the blood circulation and transported to the brain where is able to halt or slow the seizure event (for diazepam) within 2-3 minutes of its initial application. Because of the calming effects of diazepam, the cream has a secondary role as an easy to apply sedative, e.g. in medical procedures where anxiety or excessive movement can interfere with the test.

[024] In this specification, the use of diazepam will often be used as an example of the invention, but the invention should not in any way be construed as being limited to this composition.

[025] This composition of the invention, when an anti-seizure cream, has been effectively used on an epilepsy patient, a 5' 10", 275 pound, 19 year old man with mental retardation and intractable epilepsy. Despite three different anti-epileptic drugs ingested and prescribed in the conventional manner, he was

still having weekly breakthrough seizures. The application of the cream in accordance with the invention, has prevented these seizures from lasting more than a few minutes.

[026] Figure 1 of the drawings illustrates schematically the profile of a head 12 of a person showing possible advantageous sites for applying the composition of the invention. The composition may be applied to the ear region 14 or the temple region 16. These areas are good selections for the application when the composition is needed to get to the brain quickly, such as in a case of seizure.

[027] Figure 2 of the drawings shows a ring 20 in accordance with one aspect of the invention. The ring 20 comprises a housing 22 and a band portion 24. The housing 22 defines a chamber 26 for accommodating the composition, the chamber 26 being sealed. Preferably, the chamber 26 houses a specifically dosed amount of the composition. The chamber 26 can be opened or exposed by removal of a cover 28 so that the composition can be discharged to the desired surface of the body. A separate chamber 28 may contain a vibrator 30 which can be activated to facilitate penetration of the composition transdermally. Alternately, a single chamber may contain both the composition as well as the vibrator.

In one form, the band portion 24 may be hollow and contain a latex sheath 32 which can be removed and used by the person applying the composition to the patient to prevent the person from contacting the composition, which may be harmful or undesirable.

[028] Figure 3 of the drawings shows four differently shaped bandages 40, 42, 44 and 46, each having a shape which may be appropriate for different parts of the body. The bandages contain the desired composition, and may also contain a vibrator or other mechanism for helping transdermal absorption of the composition. A latex sheath may also be provided as part of a bandage kit.

Diazepam

[029] In the emergency room, diazepam is the drug of choice to stop prolonged seizures. It is generally given intravenously and can be administered only by trained medical personnel. A major advance in seizure management came in 1995 when a rectal form of diazepam, Diastat®, became available. The drug could be given at home by parents or caregivers to stop prolonged or frequent seizures. By allowing earlier and effective treatment, this new formulation was an important step in giving parents greater control and reassurance over their children's seizure disorder. A parent can stop a seizure at home within a relatively short period of time, such as about 15 to 20 minutes, even before an emergency medical crew would arrive, thus preventing the potential of further brain injury and morbidity. It currently appears to be the only FDA approved medication for seizures that can be administered by lay people.

[030] Diastat® comes in a gel form that must be given by syringe rectally. Furthermore, the buttocks of the patient must be held together for several minutes to ensure that all of the Diastat® is absorbed and not expelled prematurely from an unexpected bowel movement.

[031 ] Important as it is, Diastat® suffers from several limitations. First, when administered to a child, the child must be repositioned and the pants and underwear pulled down. Second, the child must be briefly restrained for at least as long as the injection is administered. Third, the buttocks must be held together after administration. At home, this is of course simpler to achieve than when a child may be at school, at the local mall or on the road. However, as the child grows into adolescence and beyond, such maneuvers are more difficult to perform due to the size and weight of the child. (The example patient described above is a case in point.) It will be appreciated that application to a seizing adult in this manner would be difficult or even impossible. Note that Diastat® is indicated as a treatment for people of all ages and not just for children.

[032] A topical diazepam anti-seizure cream which is delivered to the patient transdermally in accordance with the invention allows ease and reliable administration concurrently with the rapid onset of action, such as a seizure which attacks without warning. The cream is applied, in accordance with one aspect of the invention, to the mastoid area behind the ear on one side. The anti-seizure effect of the transdermal application of the composition can often occur within minutes of application. Advantageously, no significant repositioning or restraint of the patient is required. No removal of clothing is necessary which could embarrass the patient. It is, in fact, as simple and straightforward as applying sun tan lotion.

[033] Chemistry and formulation of diazepam: A benzodiazepine, diazepam is a white to yellow, practically odorless crystalline powder with a melting point between 131 - I35°C and pKa of 3.4.

Diazepam is tasteless initially, but a bitter after-taste develops. One gram is soluble in 333 ml of water,

25 ml of alcohol, and it is sparingly soluble in propylene glycol. The pH of the commercially prepared injectable solution is adjusted with benzoic acid/sodium benzoate to 6.2 - 6.9. It consists of a 5 mg/ml solution with 40% propylene glycol, 10% ethanol, 5% sodium benzoate/benzoic acid buffer, and 1.5% benzyl alcohol as a preservative.

[034] Pharmacology of diazepam: The subcortical levels (primarily limbic, thalamic, and hypothalamic) of the central nervous system are depressed by diazepam and other benzodiazepines thus producing the anxiolytic, sedative, skeletal muscle relaxant, and anti-convulsant effects seen. The exact

mechanism of action is unknown, but postulated mechanisms include: antagonism of serotonin, increased release of and/or facilitation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) activity, and diminished release or turnover of acetylcholine in the central nervous system. Benzodiazepine specific receptors have been located in the mammalian brain, kidney, liver, lung, and heart. In all species studied, receptors are lacking in the white matter.

[035] Diazepam is used clinically for its anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, hypnotic, appetite stimulant, and anti-convulsant activities.

[036] Diazepam is rapidly absorbed following oral administration. Peak plasma levels occur within 30 minutes to 2 hours after oral dosing. The drug is slowly (slower than oral) and incompletely absorbed following IV administration.

[037] Diazepam is highly lipid soluble and is widely distributed throughout the body. It readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is fairly highly bound to plasma proteins.

[038] Diazepam is metabolized in the liver to several metabolites, including desmethyldiazepam (nordiazepam), temazepam, and oxazepam, all of which are pharmacologically active. These are eventually conjugated with glucuronide and eliminated primarily in the urine. Because of the active metabolites, serum values of diazepam are not useful in predicting efficacy.

[039] Human-Approved Products including diazepam are Diazepam oral tablets (2 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg); Diazepam timed-release oral capsules 15 mg; Diazepam oral solution 1 mg/ml in 500 ml containers and unit-dose (5 & 10 mg) 5 mg/ml in 30 ml dropper bottle; and Diazepam Injection 5mg/ml in 2 ml amps & syringes & 1 ,2, 10 ml vials, 2 ml Tel-E-Ject; Emulsified Injection: 5 mg/ml in 3 ml vials.

Formulation

[040] One aspect of the present invention is the medication configuration and formulation, as well as its base. When diazepam or similar or other types of medications are mixed into a "liposome" base, and applied behind the ear or at the temporal lobe area, the rate of absorption of the medication is rapid. This can be used to advantage, for example, in status epilepsy, anxiety disorder or psychotic break-outs. Application of the cream is not an invasive procedure and can be performed by any care provider. It lacks the danger of injections, and does not cause embarrassment of suppository application or discomfort of a nose drop or spray. It may also prevent "cheeking" of the medication (meaning that the patient cannot

easily keep the pill in the cheeks and dispose of it when unobserved, thereby assuring that medication is taken) or choking from a swallowed medication, a highly relevant problem especially during a seizure. Finally, external application of this agent may prevent or reduce the adverse effects commonly seen in these medications. Applying the medication transdermally may prevent the "first pass" effect which is elimination of the drug through the liver. The same is true of the clearance of the drug through the kidney. This is know as reverse kinetics.

[041 ] As regards nasal sprays, potential complications arising from nasal spray delivery include accessability, rupture of the nostrils, and the possibility of aspiration.

[042] The present invention also has the ability to modify the time of absorption by using a different base.

[043] Overall, therefore, the present invention in one form thereof addresses a new line of medication delivery, which may be specifically suited and adapted for the medical condition being treated.

[044] Yet a further aspect of the present invention addresses further the delivery of the medication. Current patients using the medication must typically squirt out a dose thereof from a large container. One aspect of the present invention details how the medication may be placed in various devices such as a ring worn device. The unique advantage to this form of delivery is it defines and doses a specific unit of cream or composition needed for a recognized potential medical occurrence, makes application thereof easy for anyone regardless of training, and may prevent undesirable medication absorption to the person administering the medication. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is also addressed the inclusion of a vibrating device to enhance penetration of the medication, as described above.

[045] The present invention thus preferably relates to two distinct and independent parts. The first one concerns the field of drug delivery, particularly to the topical administration of pharmaceutical drugs (example, anti-epileptic agents, anti-psychotic agents) suspended in a rapidly absorbed cream, and applied to select areas of the body (example, behind the ear or temples). The second one concerns the use of various delivery devices that may vibrate or otherwise be configured so that penetration of the cream is enhanced during and/or after the application of the cream (example, a vibrating finger-ring applicator), and that includes an optional drug dispenser unit that may or may not automatic. Pharmaceuticals applied using this process of the present invention and contained in these unique and medically effective devices will enter the body faster with quicker clinical effects.

[046] When diazepam is the drug of choice for treating seizure, the diazepam is suspended in a unique cream base. The cream can be formulated to either release drug rapidly once administered, or over time.

The short-acting cream may be formulated using a liposomal forming component. The long-acting cream may use a PLO (Pluronic Lecithin Organogel) base. Upon seizure activities, an exact amount of cream is applied to the neck, below the ear or other area selected for efficient transmittal. Data from one patient tested showed an onset of action of the medication of about three minutes. This can be favorably compared to 15 to 30 minutes for the onset of action from a rectally-administered diazepam product.

[047] One example of the delivery solutions for pharmaceuticals provided in accordance with the invention is a capsule-like device attached to or contained within a space or chamber within a ring.

Within the capsule which is full of the medicated cream there can also be a small vibrator. The ring is packaged as a single unit of use making it easy for a patient to carry, easy to wear and easy for medication application, especially in an emergency. In addition, the ring protects the wearer from contact with the medication by properly isolating the medication in a safe and effective manner, and this can be especially important if a different person to the patient is applying the drug. The vibration of the cream on the surface of the skin will improve blood flow to the site of application and improve the absorption of the drug into the skin. The drug delivery device would be smaller for the wearing on the finger and may include, for example, a latex sheathing to cover the ringed finger or other body part against any exposure to the pharmaceutical medication. An upper capsule would be similar in size and may contain a small vibrator. The capsule may also contain micro-sized openings so that once a protective layer or cover is removed, pressure would push out or discharge the medication from the capsule to the desired area.

[048] A similar effect, process and method would be applicable to our unique bandage device.

Examples of formulation

[049] In accordance with one aspect of the invention, all compositions discussed below can be interchanged by any drug of the same family. For example, any benzodiazepins, such as Ativan, Lorazepam, klonopin (clonazepam) or compositions not limited to any benzodiazepine family and their combinations may be used.

[050] The drug of choice can be phenobarbital not limited to barbiturates and any combination of thereof with one another and benzodiazepines plus Progesterone or estrogen or a combination of all or one based on patient respond.

[051 ] For all the ingredients below, in order to achieve long acting effects the base can be replaced to PLO gel instead of liposome cream and the use of DMSO is discretionary. The PLO gel can be applied through a patch or any other similar device to achieve slower delivery of the drug and to maximize and enhance slower penetration of the drug as best suited to the needs and particulars of the patient.

[052] A higher dose of medication may satiate the cream and cake and as a result not be effective. The ranges given below provide broad ranges to cover the preferred choices.

Vibrating and Dispensing Applicators

[056] Any cream, liquid or fluid (referred to hereafter as substance) when applied manually on the body of humans or animals require most of the time some rubbing to facilitate the penetration through the body and to locate the exact point of application for a more effective action. The present invention describes and discloses the penetration of the substance and the most effective body locations to apply

the substance. Any vibrating device that would include a substance dispenser and design as a ring or as a hand piece may be used that would allow the dispensing of the substance while massaging the effective location.

[057] Ring: An applicator aid made of a soft and elastomeric material comprises a tubular body and a ring, wherein a hollow space is disposed inside the tubular body and has an opening formed where the vibration and dosing units will be inserted. The ring may be adapted for any finger.

[058] The inside diameter of the ring may be between 1 /12 of an inch to 1 inch. Preferably, the front end of said tubular body is thickened. One or more posts may be disposed on the outer surface of the tubular body. The soft elastomeric material may be plastic rubber, silicon rubber or latex. In one embodiment, a vibrator or light-emitting diode capsule is inserted into a hollow space of the tubular body through the opening. The tubular body may be a cylindrical body, a conical body, or a sphere-like body.

[059] In one form, a dispensing or dosing unit is inserted into the hollow space of the tubular body through the opening. The tubular body may have a diameter of 1/10 of an inch and up to 20 inches.

[060] Instead of a ring, the device may be a bracelet, a necklace or a keychain.

[061 ] The present invention thus relates to an application aid, especially to an applicator aid having a ring holding firmly on the base of any finger and a hollow cone body which may be positioned behind an ear lobe for contacting or vibrating this part of the body to enhance transdermal delivery of the cream, liquid or fluid which has an antipsychotic, relaxing, and calming effect, acting on the brain. It would be positioned on the top of any organ on which the cream, liquid or fluid are known to have an effect.

[062] Sometimes when applying the cream, liquid or fluid on someone, it is important to avoid any unintended contact with the cream, liquid or fluid. This is the case for example when applying medicated cream which could have an effect on the person applying as the cream is rubbed into the patient. Furthermore some of these creams have to be applied with a strict dosage while an accelerated penetration would enhance their effect.

[063] In one embodiment, there is provided an applicator aid made of soft and elastomeric material comprising a tubular body wherein a hollow space is disposed inside the tubular body and has an opening formed where the vibration and dosing units will be inserted. The tubular body has a size adapted for any

hand.

[064] In another form, the invention provides an applicator aid made of any bandage which has a vibrating and dosing unit as part of it or attached to it in any manner. The transformed band aid has a size and shape which may be adapted for part of the body. The front end of the band aid maybe thickened.

Several posts may be disposed on the outer surface of the band aid.

[065] An active and sensitive location of effective application of the composition is behind the ear lobe for any cream, liquid or fluid that has an effect on the brain. Other locations may comprise on or around the temples, the base of the neck, the top of the head through the hair on the soft part of the skull, or on the forehead in the middle of the two eyebrows that has an effect on the brain. Or, the cream may be applied on the skin in the area of any organ that has an effect on this organ.
