9  Advances in Biodegradable Ocular Drug Delivery Systems

193

9.2.5  Iluvien

Iluvien™ (formerly Medidur; Alimera Sciences, Inc., Alpharetta, GA, USA) is a nonbiodegradable intravitreal implant designed to deliver fluocinolone acetonide within a rod-shaped 3.5 × 0.37-mm reservoir (Kiernan and Mieler 2009). The device is available in two dose formulations: one with a delivery rate of 0.2 mg/day lasting 24–30 months, and the other with a delivery rate of 0.5 mg/day lasting 18–24 months. The implant’s reservoir is fitted with end caps made from PVA (and a silicone bioadhesive in the low-dose version) that regulate the rate of drug release and provide nearly zeroorder kinetics, with a slightly higher initial release rate that stabilizes over the long term (Kane et al. 2008). The implant is inserted using a proprietary 25-gauge injector system into the inferior vitreous to maximize drug exposure to the retina and minimize exposure to the anterior chamber. It is currently undergoing phase 3 safety and efficacy trials (Kane et al. 2008); data have not yet been published.

9.2.6  Nonbiodegradable Matrix Implants

9.2.6.1  Lumitect®

Lumitect® (Lux Biosciences) is an investigational, silicone-matrix episcleral implant designed for the sustained delivery of cyclosporine for up to 3 years. Two dose formulations have been developed: a 0.75-in. implant that delivers cyclosporine at a rate of 25 mg/day and a 0.5-in. version with a drug delivery rate of 15 mg/day. The device is currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of ocular graft-versus- host disease (clinicaltrials.gov identifier ID NCT00102583) and corneal allograft rejection (clinicaltrials.gov identifier ID NCT00447642).

9.2.6.2  Punctal Plugs

The Latanoprost Punctal Plug Delivery System (QLT, Inc.) is an experimental sus- tained-release drug-release implant for the delivery of latanoprost, an analog of prostaglandin F2 that is approved as a topical eye drop (Xalatan®, Merck) to reduce intraocular pressure. The punctal plug is formulated to deliver 44or 81-mg latanoprost continuously over a 3-month period. Several nonrandomized, open-label, phase 2 studies evaluating the device in glaucoma and ocular hypertensive patients have now been completed (clinicaltrials.gov IDs NCT00821002, NCT00845299, and NCT00820300) but not yet published, and additional phase 2 trials are currently recruiting subjects (clinicaltrials.gov IDs NCT00967811 and NCT01037036).

Another experimental punctal plug drug system is under clinical development by Vistakon Pharmaceuticals for the intraocular delivery of bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog that, like latanoprost, is approved as a topical eye drop for the reduction
