Abstract: A biocompatible material genus serves as the foundation for multiple material composition species, each adapted to a specific therapeutic indication.
Inventor(s): Hnojewyj; Olexander (Saratoga, CA), Milo; Charles F. (Atherton, CA), Cruise; Gregory M (Fremont, CA)
Assignee: Neomend, Inc (Irvine, CA)
Application Number:11/002,837
Patent Claims:1. A method comprising providing a protein solution, providing a polymer solution including a derivative of a hydrophilic polymer with a functionality of at least three, mixing the protein solution and the polymer solution, the protein solution and the polymer solution cross-linking to form a non-liquid hydrogel composition having a degradation time in situ that is from 1 week to 6 months, selecting a therapeutic agent comprising cells, and causing the therapeutic agent to become incorporated into the hydrogel composition, the degradation time being within a desired time frame for the cells to remodel tissue.

2. A method comprising providing a protein solution, providing a polymer solution including a derivative of a hydrophilic polymer with a functionality of at least three, the polymer solution comprising 17% w/w 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) tetra-succinimidyl glutarate, MW 10,000, in water, mixing the protein solution and the polymer solution, the protein solution and the polymer solution cross-linking to form a non-liquid hydrogel composition, selecting a therapeutic agent, and causing the therapeutic agent to become incorporated into the hydrogel composition.

3. A method comprising providing a protein solution comprising 25% w/w albumin supplemented with 75 mM sodium carbonate and 75 mM sodium bicarbonate, providing a polymer solution including a derivative of a hydrophilic polymer with a functionality of at least three, mixing the protein solution and the polymer solution, the protein solution and the polymer solution cross-linking to form a non-liquid hydrogel composition, selecting a therapeutic agent, and causing the therapeutic agent to become incorporated into the hydrogel composition.

4. A method as in claim 2 or 3 wherein the therapeutic agent is a pharmaceutical.

5. A method as in claim 4 wherein the hydrogel composition has a degradation time in situ that is within a desired time frame for release of the selected pharmaceutical.

6. A method as in claim 5 wherein the desired time frame is from 1 week to 1 year.

7. A method as in claim 1 wherein the polymer solution comprises 17% w/w 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) tetra-succinimidyl glutarate, MW 10,000, in water.

8. A method as in claim 1 wherein the protein solution comprises 25% w/w albumin supplemented with 75 mM sodium carbonate and 75 mM sodium bicarbonate.

9. A method as in claim 8 wherein the albumin is human serum albumin.

10. A method as in claim 1 or 2 or 3 wherein the protein is a natural protein.

11. A method as in claim 1 or 2 or 3 wherein the protein is a recombinant protein.

12. A method as in claim 2 or 3 wherein the therapeutic agent is cells.

13. A method as in claim 12 wherein the hydrogel composition has a degradation time in situ that is within a desired time frame for the cells to remodel tissue.

14. A method as in claim 13 wherein the desired time frame is from 1 week to 6 months.

15. A method as in claim 1 or 2 or 3 wherein the hydrogel composition has a gelation time in situ of 5 30 seconds.

16. A method as in claim 1 or 2 or 3 wherein the hydrogel composition comprises a three-dimensional network.

17. A method as in claim 16 wherein the network degrades over time back to a liquid form.

18. A method as in claim 3 wherein the albumin is human serum albumin.
