Based on other organic particles

Administration route

Subcutaneous, Intramuscular, Intra-vitreal, Intravenous, Epidural, Intrathecal, Intraperitoneal

Development state and regulatory approval

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)

Bupivacaine Hydrochloride

Development Stage

Marketed

Regulatory Approval

Exparel has received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration and marketing authorization from the European Medicines Agency. It is indicated for post-surgical analgesia.


Description

DepoFoam is a lipid-based sustained-release drug delivery system that encapsulates the API into an interconnected network of multi-layered multivesicular liposomes (MVL). These liposomes are highly stable and release the drug from the outermost member of the MVL into the external medium. Exhibiting a microscopic, non-concentric structure, these lipid-based spheroids harbor granular lipid-based particles housing the encapsulated API. The neutral lipid component comprises mono-unsaturated fatty acid ester moieties containing approximately 14–18 carbons, primarily in the form of triglycerides.

Technology highlight

• The release rate of the API can be modified based on the preparation of the MVL and the neutral lipid component added in the formulation. • The Multivesicular liposomes are biodegradable in nature and biocompatibility for targeted drug delivery at sensitive areas like ocular, epidural, and intrathecal routes of administration. • Optimal concentration at the targeted anatomical location with low systematic exposure.


Technology main components

The pMVL formulation contains multi-vesicular liposomes, dextrose, triolein & tricaprylin (mole ratio based on the characteristics of API), phospholipids, DEPC, L-lysine, & DPPG.

Information on the raw materials sourcing, availability and anticipated price

The DPPG, triolein, and tricaprylin are obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids, and 10% hydrochloric acid is obtained from Spectrum Chemical. The current cost of the FDA-approved pMVL product Exparel 133 mg (10 mL) dose is 227.63 USD, and Exparel 266 mg (20 mL) dose is 376.12 USD.

More details

Postoperative analgesia for hallux valgus surgery (bunionectomy) is inconsistent and may even result in rebound pain when the (ankle) blocks wear off. It is hypothesized that the mixture of bupivacaine and liposome bupivacaine increases the extent and duration of postoperative analgesia and decreases opioid consumption as compared to bupivacaine alone or to general anesthesia.

Purpose

Liposome Bupivacaine for ANKLE Blocks

More details

Total shoulder surgery (arthroplasty) is a widely successful method of treating shoulder arthritis. Although the goal of the procedure is pain relief, post-operative pain is unavoidable. Pain is a common side effect that many patients undergo while in the clinical setting and is a vital factor in influencing the length of hospital stay, narcotic usage, as well as overall patient satisfaction. Post-operative pain management typically involves elevated usage of narcotics, which is a concern among clinicians and researchers alike. To combat this issue, research is examining intraoperative procedures as a means of reducing post-operative pain scores. Research has discovered the advantages of utilizing local anesthetic techniques as opposed to just general anesthesia. Local anesthetic blocks f

More details

Patients usually experience some level of pain after their hernia repair. To control pain after the operation, surgeons have many options. One of them is to make some injections of pain blocker medications into the nerves that are responsible for the sensations the abdominal wall.This procedure is called TAP block (transversus abdominis place block). These medications are called local anesthetics, and there is a variety of medications that can be used. One of such medications is called Exparel® (Liposomal Bupivacaine). Exparel® has the potential benefit of lasting more hours than regular anesthetics. Although this drug is being used with increasing frequency, the investigators do not have good quality studies investigating the benefits of using this medication during a hernia repair, espec

Additional features

Other features of the technology

  • Biodegradable
  • Drug-eluting
  • Reservoir-type
  • At least 1 year shelf life

Release properties

The release pattern of API from the pMVL matrix is triphasic. The pMVL technology holds promise in extending the release of the drug to the target site within an effective dosage range, spanning from 26 hours to 90 days, via the liposomal matrix with an initial burst from the surface vesicle within 20 hours of administration.

Injectability

pMVL preparations can be injected using a 25 gauge or larger-bore needle to ensure the preservation of structural integrity for liposomal bupivacaine particles. Moreover, pMVL products presents diverse injectable formats, including but not limited to Intravenous, Epidural, Intraperitoneal, Subcutaneous, Intramuscular, Ocular, and Intrathecal administrations.

Safety

The results of Phase III clinical trials of FDA-approved Exparel (300 mg and 600 mg) showed that there were no severe adverse drug reactions. However, 50-60% of participants experienced common adverse reactions similar to those seen with the generic drug.

Stability

Proprietary multivesicular liposome (pMVL) products offer better stability, with the potential to remain viable for up to two years if left unopened.

Storage conditions and cold-chain related features

pMVL formulations are typically refrigerated at temperatures ranging from 2°C to 8°C. They can be stored at a controlled room temperature of 20°C to 25°C for a maximum of 30 days in sealed, intact (unopened) vials. Avoid freezing or exposing the vials to temperatures exceeding 40°C for prolonged periods. Before administration, allow the vials to reach room temperature (20°C to 25°C) for up to 4 hours.

Description

Sustained Release Anesthetic Compositions

Brief description

The invention provides a method for obtaining local anesthetics encapsulated in liposomes, such as multivesicular liposomes, with high encapsulation efficiency and slow release in vivo. When the encapsulated anesthetic is administered as a single intravenous dose, the duration of anesthesia and the half-life of the drug at the local site of action are increased compared to the injection of unencapsulated anesthetic. The maximum tolerated dose of encapsulated anesthetic is also markedly increased in the liposomal formulation compared to the injection of unencapsulated anesthetic. These results show that the liposomal formulation of local anesthetic is useful for sustained local infiltration and nerve block anesthesia.

Multivesicular liposomes are structurally distinct from lamellar liposomes and consist of an aggregation of hundreds of water-filled polyhedral compartments separated by bi-layered lipid septa. The unique architecture of multivesicular liposomes allows encapsulating drug with greater efficiency, provides robust structural stability and ensures reliable, steady and prolonged drug release. The favourable characteristics of multivesicular liposomes have resulted in many drug formulations exploiting this technology, which is proprietary and referred to as DepoFoam™.
