Full Description
This comprehensive volume discusses approaches for a systematic selection of delivery systems for various classes of therapeutic agents including small molecule, protein, and nucleic acid drugs.
Specific topics covered in this book include:
Solution, suspension, gel, nanoparticle, microparticle, and implant dosage forms
Refillable and microneedle devices
Intravitreal, suprachoroidal, intrascleral, transscleral, systemic, and topical routes of delivery
Physical methods including iontophoresis for drug delivery
Rational selection of routes of administration and delivery systems
Noninvasive and continuous drug monitoring
Regulatory path to drug product development
Clinical endpoints for drug product development
Emerging and existing drugs and drug targets
Drug Product Development for the Back of the Eye is authored by renowned ocular drug delivery experts, representing academic, clinical, and industrial organizations and serves as indispensable resource for ophthalmic researchers, drug formulation scientists, drug delivery and drug disposition scientists, as well as clinicians involved in designing and developing novel therapeutics for the back of the eye diseases. This book is also relevant for students in various disciplines including ophthalmology, pharmaceutical sciences, drug delivery, and biomedical engineering.
