Description

    RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 61/034,328, filed Mar. 6, 2008, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
    • TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to medical devices, more particularly, to catheter devices.
    • BACKGROUND
  • Catheters are used in a wide variety of minimally-invasive or percutaneous medical procedures. Balloon catheters having drug coatings may be used to treat diseased portions of blood vessels. Typically, the balloon is inserted through a peripheral blood vessel and then guided via a catheter through the vascular system to the target intravascular site. However, as the balloon travels through the vascular system, the flow of blood may wash away some of the drug coating. In addition, the control of the timing, location and/or duration of the release of the drug can be an issue. Therefore, there is a need for improved catheter-based devices for drug delivery to an intravascular site.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Catheter devices of the present invention use an expandable balloon for delivering a therapeutic agent to a target site in the body. The balloon is designed to be insertable in the body via a catheter. The therapeutic agent can be associated with the balloon in any of various ways, as further described below. Any of various mechanisms conventionally used for the delivery, actuation, or expansion (e.g., by inflation) of balloon catheter devices may be used in the present invention. The balloon catheter may be designed similar to those that have been known in the art, including but not limited to angioplasty catheters, stent delivery catheters, inflation catheters and/or perfusion catheters. The catheter devices of the present invention may be used in conjunction with other drug delivery devices, such as stents.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, in certain embodiments, a balloon catheter 20 comprises a catheter body 22 having a balloon 24 mounted thereon. In FIG. 1A, the balloon is in a deflated state; in FIG. 1B, the balloon is in an inflated state. The body of the balloon can be single-layered or multiple-layered.
  • In one aspect of the present invention, a balloon comprises a solvent-swellable polymer. The solvent-swellable polymer may have a therapeutic agent incorporated therein and may be used to form a wall of the balloon or to form a coating disposed over the balloon.
  • Preferably, the polymer is swellable upon exposure to an organic solvent. The organic solvent can be polar or non-polar. Preferably, the organic solvent has a low boiling point. Preferably, the organic solvent has a boiling point of about 90° C. or less, about 80° C. or less, or about 70° C. or less. Solvents with low boiling points can be removed relatively easier than those with high boiling points. Non-limiting examples of organic solvents include dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, hexane, and cyclohexane.
  • Optionally, the solvent-swellable polymer is a semi-crystalline polymer. The semi-crystalline polymer can form a polymer matrix having crystalline portions and amorphous portions. When the polymer matrix is exposed to a mixture of a suitable organic solvent and a therapeutic agent, the solvent and the therapeutic agent diffuses into and swells preferentially the amorphous regions of the polymer matrix. The crystalline portions of the polymer matrix are more resistant to swelling, and therefore form a stable structure that maintains the physical structure of the polymer-containing balloon wall or coating. When the solvent is removed, the polymer matrix contracts to its original conformation, entrapping the therapeutic agent within the polymer matrix.
  • For example, referring to the schematic illustration shown in FIGS. 2A-2C, a catheter device comprises a balloon comprising a solvent-swellable, semi-crystalline polymer. FIG. 2A shows a polymer matrix 70 on the wall of the balloon prior to solvent exposure. Polymer matrix 70 has crystalline regions 72, which are represented schematically by the lines, and amorphous regions 74, which are represented schematically by the spaces. Referring to FIG. 2B, upon exposure to a mixture of a solvent and a therapeutic agent, amorphous regions 74 absorb the solvent and therapeutic agent 76, causing polymer matrix 70 to swell. Referring to FIG. 2C, upon removal of the solvent, polymer matrix 70 contracts to its original conformation such that therapeutic agent 76 is retained within polymer matrix 70.
  • Optionally, the solvent-swellable polymer is a partially cross-linked polymer. Preferably, the cross-linking density is low to allow at least a portion of the polymer to swell in an organic solvent. The cross-linking can be done using any known methods. For example, the cross-linking may be induced by UV irradiation or electron beam irradiation. The cross-linked portions of the polymer serve as the stable structure, while the non-crosslinked portions of the polymer swell upon exposure to an organic solvent and entrap the therapeutic agent previously mixed with the solvent after the solvent is removed.
  • Optionally, the solvent-swellable polymer is grafted onto the surface of the balloon through chemical bonding. In this case, the balloon wall base itself serves as the stable structure, while the polymer swells upon exposure to an organic solvent and entraps the therapeutic agent previously mixed with the solvent after the solvent is removed.
  • Non-limiting examples of solvent-swellable polymers include block copolymers of styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (“SEBS”), block copolymers of styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene (“SEPS”), block copolymers of styrene-butadiene-styrene (“SBS”), block copolymers of styrene-isoprene-styrene (“SIS”), polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyurethane, polyoxymethylene-acetyl copolymers, polyamide block copolymers, and copolymers of acrylates and methacrylates. The SEBS, SEPS, SBS, and SIS copolymers can be commercially-available copolymers, such as those sold under the trade names KRATON G and KRATON D. Preferably, the solvent-swellable polymer has unsaturated bonds to allow for cross-linking or grafting.
  • After the therapeutic agent is loaded into the polymer, the solvent may be removed by any known method, for example, evaporation or vacuum drying. Preferably, the solvent is removed without heating. Preferably, the solvent is removed by evaporation.
  • In operation, the balloon comprising a therapeutic agent-containing polymer is inserted into the body and delivered to the target site. The balloon is then inflated, causing the polymer (in the case of a semi-crystalline polymer being used, polymer matrix 70) in the balloon wall to undergo expansion by mechanical force. By enlarging the space within the polymer (e.g. polymer matrix 70), the therapeutic agent (e.g. therapeutic agent 76) is released from the wall of the balloon. Because the therapeutic agent is preferably loaded through diffusion, it tends to locate near the surface of the wall or coating and can be easily released after the balloon catheter device is delivered to the target site.
  • Medical devices of the present invention may also include a vascular stent mounted on the balloon. The vascular stent may be any of those known in the art, including those with or without coatings that contain a therapeutic agent. The stent may also be biostable, bioerodable, or biodegradable.
  • The balloons of the present invention may also be coated with a low-molecular weight carbohydrate, such as mannitol. The carbohydrate may be a separate coating or be blended with the therapeutic agent. The balloons of the present invention may also be coated with a radiocontrast agent (ionic or non-ionic), such as iopromide. The contrast agent may be a separate coating or be blended with the therapeutic agent.
  • The therapeutic agent used in the present invention may be any pharmaceutically acceptable agent (such as a drug), a biomolecule, a small molecule, or cells. Example drugs include anti-proliferative agents or anti-restenosis agents such as paclitaxel, sirolimus (rapamycin), tacrolimus, everolimus, and zotarolimus. Other example drugs include those that are anti-spasmodic agents and vasodilators. Example biomolecules include peptides, polypeptides and proteins; antibodies; oligonucleotides; nucleic acids such as double or single stranded DNA (including naked and cDNA), RNA, antisense nucleic acids such as antisense DNA and RNA, small interfering RNA (siRNA), and ribozymes; genes; carbohydrates; angiogenic factors including growth factors; cell cycle inhibitors; and anti-restenosis agents. Example small molecules include hormones, nucleotides, amino acids, sugars, and lipids and compounds have a molecular weight of less than 100 kD. Example cells include stem cells, progenitor cells, endothelial cells, adult cardiomyocytes, and smooth muscle cells.
