APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR DRUG DELIVERY USING MULTIPLE RESERVOIRS

[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/830,324 entitled, “Apparatus and Methods for Drug Delivery Using Multiple Reservoirs,” filed Jun. 3, 2013. the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] The embodiments described herein relate generally to the field of ophthalmic therapies and more particularly to apparatus and methods fir delivering a drug to ocular tissue using multiple drug reservoirs.

[0003] Although needles have been used in transdermal and intraocular drug delivery, there remains a need for improved microneedle devices and methods, particularly for delivery of substances (e.g., drugs) into the posterior region of the eye. Many inflammatory and proliferative diseases in the posterior region (or other regions) of the eye require long-term pharmacological treatment. Examples of such diseases include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and uveitis. It is often difficult to deliver effective doses of a drug to the hack of the eye using conventional delivery methods such as topical application, which has poor efficacy, and systemic administration, which often causes significant side effects. For example, while eye drops are useful in treating conditions affecting the exterior surface of the eye or tissues at the front of the eye, the eye drops are not significantly carried to the back of the eye, as may be required for the treatment of some of the retinal diseases listed above. Therefore, intraocular delivery of a drug is often desirable.

[0004] Some known intraocular delivery devices include a vial or reservoir that can store a substance prior to delivery into the eye. For example, in some known systems a drug can be disposed within an inner volume of a syringe (e.g., a reservoir) and the syringe can be coupled to a microneedle that is suitable for insertion into ocular tissue. In such configurations, however, the user's ability to control the volume of the drug dispensed can be limited.

[0005] Moreover, in such known systems, the drug disposed within the syringe can begin to separate during storage which can lead to reduced efficacy of the drug. Although, some known injection devices include multiple chambers and/or multiple reservoirs that allow for mixing or agitating of the drug prior to injection, such known injection devices are generally not configured to deliver drugs into the eye. For example, in such devices, the mechanism for transferring the drug from a first chamber to a second chamber can be complex, which can lead to a loss of accuracy in controlling the dosage delivered, an increase in cost of the device and the like. In some instances, one or more of the chambers included in such devices are disposed within a casing or the like that can limit visualization of the drug within the syringe, which can lead to the drug not be properly mixed or agitated prior to injection and can also limit proper metering of the dosage to be delivered.

[0006] Thus, a need exists for improved apparatus and methods for storing and mixing a drug in two or more reservoirs prior to delivery into ocular tissue.

[0007] Devices and methods described herein relate generally to intraocular treatment and more particularly to apparatus and methods for delivering a drug to ocular tissue using multiple drug reservoirs. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a cartridge assembly that is movably disposed within a housing. The cartridge assembly includes a first member and a second member that collectively define a first reservoir. A portion of the first member and a portion of the housing collectively define a second reservoir. The second member is movable between a first position relative to the first member and a second position relative to the second member to move the cartridge assembly between a first configuration and a second configuration, respectively. The first reservoir is configured to contain a drug when the cartridge assembly is in the first configuration. When the cartridge assembly is moved from the first configuration to the second configuration, the drug flows within a flow path to be disposed within the second reservoir. The cartridge assembly is movable between a first position relative to the housing and a second position relative to the housing to expel the drug from the second reservoir.

[0015] The embodiments described herein relate to using multiple drug reservoirs to deliver a drug to, for example, the sclera of an eye to deliver the drug to, for example, a posterior region of the eye (e.g., via the suprachoroidal space). In some embodiments, the microneedles included in the embodiments described herein include a bevel, which, in comparison with standard bevels, allows for ease of penetration into the sclera and/or suprachoroidal space with minimal collateral damage. The narrow lumen (e.g., greater than or equal to 32 gauge, 34 gauge, 36 gauge, etc.) of the microneedle allows for suprachoroidal drug delivery while minimizing the diameter of the needle track caused by the insertion of the microneedle. The lumen and bevel aspect ratio of the microneedles described herein are distinct from standard 27 gauge and 30 gauge needles. For example, the microneedles included in the embodiments described herein can be any of those described in International Patent Application Publication No. WO2014/036009, entitled, “Apparatus and Methods for Drug Delivery Using Microneedles,” filed on Aug. 27, 2013, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety (referred to henceforth as the “'009 PCT application”).

[0016] In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a housing, a cartridge assembly, a first reservoir, and a second reservoir. At least a portion of the cartridge assembly is configured to be movably disposed in the housing. The cartridge assembly includes a first movable member and a second movable member. The first movable member defines an inner volume. At least a portion of the second movable member is movably disposed in the inner volume between a first position and a second position relative to the first movable member. The first reservoir is disposed within the inner volume in a distal position relative to the second movable member. The first reservoir is configured to contain a drug when the second movable member is in its first position relative to the first movable member and is configured to be placed in fluid communication with the inner volume when the second movable member is in its second position relative to the first movable member. The second reservoir is at least partially defined by the housing. A portion of the first movable member is movably disposed in the second reservoir such that when the second movable member is in its first position relative to the first movable member, the second reservoir is fluidically isolated from the inner volume. The second reservoir is configured to be placed in fluid communication with the inner volume when the second movable member is moved toward its second position relative to the first movable member to receive a volume of the drug from the first reservoir. The first movable member and the second movable member are collectively configured to be moved from a first position relative to the housing to a second position relative to the housing to expel the volume of the drug from the second reservoir.

[0017] In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a housing and a cartridge assembly. The housing has a distal end portion that defines a substantially rigid reservoir physically and fluidically coupled to a puncture member. The puncture member is configured to puncture ocular tissue of a patient. The cartridge assembly is configured to be movably disposed in the housing and includes a first movable member, a second movable member, and a deformable reservoir. At least a portion of the first movable member is configured to be disposed in the substantially rigid reservoir. The first movable member has an inner surface that forms a shoulder and that Minims an inner volume. At least a portion of the second movable member is movably disposed in the inner volume between a first position and a second position. The deformable reservoir is disposed within the inner volume between the shoulder and the second movable member. The shoulder is configured to selectively engage the deformable reservoir when the second movable member is moved relative to the first movable member to transition the deformable reservoir from a first configuration, in which a drug is contained within the deformable reservoir, and a second configuration, in which a volume of the drug is disposed substantially outside the deformable reservoir. The substantially rigid reservoir is configured to be fluidically isolated from the inner volume when the second movable member is in its first position and is configured to receive the volume of the drug from the inner volume when the second movable member is moved relative to the first movable member toward its second position. The first movable member of the cartridge assembly being movable relative to the housing from a first position to a second position to deliver the volume of the drug, via the puncture member, from the second reservoir to the ocular tissue.

[0018] In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a housing, a first movable member, a second movable member, a first reservoir, and a second reservoir. The housing includes a safety tab. A distal end portion of the housing is physically and fluidically coupled to a puncture member, which is configured to puncture ocular tissue. The first movable member is movably disposed in the housing and defines an inner volume. The safety tab is configured to engage the first movable member to selectively limit movement of the first movable member relative to the housing. The second movable member is at least partially disposed in the inner volume and is movable relative to the first movable member between a first position and a second position. The first reservoir is disposed within the inner volume and is configured to be transitioned between a first configuration, in which the first reservoir contains a drug, and a second configuration, in which a volume of the drug is disposed within the inner volume and substantially outside of the first reservoir, when the second movable member is moved from its first position to its second position, respectively. The second reservoir is at least partially defined by the housing. A portion of the first movable member is movably disposed in the second reservoir such that when the second movable member is in its first position, the second reservoir is fluidically isolated from the inner volume. The second reservoir is configured to be placed in fluid communication with the inner volume to receive the volume of the drug when the second movable member is moved toward its second position. The first movable member is configured to be disengaged from the safety tab and moved within the second reservoir from a first position to a second position to deliver the volume of the drug, via the puncture member, from the second reservoir to the ocular tissue.

[0019] In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a cartridge assembly that is movably disposed within a housing. The cartridge assembly includes a first member and a second member that collectively define a first reservoir. A portion of the first member and a portion of the housing collectively define a second reservoir. The second member is movable between a first position relative to the first member and a second position relative to the second member to move the cartridge assembly between a first configuration and a second configuration, respectively. The first reservoir is configured to contain a drug when the cartridge assembly is in the first configuration. When the cartridge assembly is moved from the first configuration to the second configuration, the drug flows within a flow path to be disposed within the second reservoir. The cartridge assembly is movable between a first position relative to the housing and a second position relative to the housing to expel the drug from the second reservoir.

[0020] As used in this specification, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, the term “a member” is intended to mean a single member or a combination of members, “a material” is intended to mean one or more materials, or a combination thereof.

[0021] As used herein, the words “proximal” and “distal” refer to the direction closer to and away from, respectively, an operator (e.g., surgeon, physician, nurse, technician, etc.) who would insert the medical device into the patient, with the tip-end (i.e., distal end) of the device inserted inside a patient's body first. Thus, for example, the end of a microneedle described herein first inserted inside the patient's body would be the distal end, while the opposite end of the microneedle (e.g., the end of the medical device being manipulated by or closest to the operator) would be the proximal end of the microneedle.

[0022] As used herein, a “set” can refer to multiple features or a singular feature with multiple parts. For example, when referring to set of walls, the set of walls can be considered as one wall with distinct portions, or the set of walls can be considered as multiple walls.

[0023] As used herein, the terms “about” and “approximately” generally mean plus or minus 10% of the value stated. For example, about 0.5 would include 0.45 and 0.55, about 10 would include 9 to 11, about 10000 would include 900 to 11000. Nominal differences in a. value can be attributed to, for example, manufacturing tolerances, measurement tolerances, or the like.

[0024] The embodiments and methods described herein can be used to treat various target tissues, such as, for example, tissue in the eye. For reference, FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a human eye 10. While specific regions are identified, those skilled in the art will recognize that the proceeding identified regions do not solely constitute the eye 10, rather the identified regions are presented as a simplified example suitable for the discussion of the embodiments herein. The eye 10 includes both an anterior segment 12 (the portion of the eye in front of and including the lens) and a posterior segment 14 (the portion of the eye behind the lens). The anterior segment 12 is bounded by the cornea 16 and the lens 18, while the posterior segment 14 is bounded by the sclera 20 and the lens 18. The anterior segment 12 is further subdivided into the anterior chamber 22, between the iris 24 and the cornea 16, and the posterior chamber 26, between the lens 18 and the iris 24. The cornea 16 and the sclera 20 collectively form a limbus 38 at the point at which they meet. The exposed portion of the sclera 2.0 on the anterior segment 12 of the eye is protected by a clear membrane referred to as the conjunctiva (not shown). Underlying the sclera 20 is the choroid 28 and the retina 27, collectively referred to as retinachoroidal tissue. A vitreous humour 30 (also referred to as the “vitreous”) is disposed between a ciliary body 32 (including a ciliary muscle and a ciliary process) and the retina 27. The anterior portion of the retina 27 forms an ora serrata 34. The loose connective tissue, or potential space, between the choroid 28 and the sclera 20 is referred to as the suprachoroid.

[0025] As used herein, the term “suprachoroidal space,” which is synonymous with suprachoroid, or suprachoroidia, describes the potential space in the region of the eye 10 disposed between the sclera 20 and choroid 28. (e.g., identified as the region 36 in FIG. 1). This region is primarily composed of closely packed layers of long pigmented processes derived from each of the two adjacent tissues; a space can develop in this region, however, as a result of fluid or other material buildup in the suprachoroidal space and the adjacent tissues. The suprachoroidal space is frequently expanded by fluid buildup because of a disease state in the eye or as a result of some trauma or surgical intervention. In some instances, the fluid buildup is intentionally created by the infusion of a drug formulation into the suprachoroid to create the suprachoroidal space 36 (which can be filled with drug formulation).

[0026] The dashed line in FIG. 1 represents the equator of the eye 10. In some instances, the insertion site of any of the microneedles and/or methods described herein is between the equator and the limbus 38 (i.e., in the anterior portion 12 of the eye 10). For example, in some instances, the insertion site can be between about two millimeters and about 10 millimeters (mm) posterior to the limbus 38. In other instances, the insertion site of the microneedle is at about the equator of the eye 10. In still other embodiments, the insertion site is posterior to the equator of the eye 10. In this manner, a drug formulation can be introduced (e.g., via a microneedle) into the suprachoroidal space 36 at the site of the insertion and can flow through the suprachoroidal space 36 away from the site of insertion during an infusion event (e.g., during injection).

[0027] FIGS. 2-4 are schematic illustrations of a delivery device 100 according to an embodiment in a first, second, and third configuration, respectively. The delivery device 100 can be used, for example, to deliver a drug to ocular tissue such as the suprachoroidal space defined between the sclera and the choroid. The delivery device 100 includes housing 110 and a cartridge assembly 130 and is movable between a first configuration (FIG. 2), a second configuration (FIG. 3) and a third configuration (FIG. 4). The housing 110 can be any suitable shape, size, or configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the housing 110 can have a substantially annular and/or cylindrical shape that can define an inner volume 116. As described in further detail herein, the inner volume 116 can movably receive at least a portion of the cartridge assembly 130.

[0028] The cartridge assembly 130 includes a first movable member 160 and a second movable member 170. The cartridge assembly 130 can be moved between a first configuration (FIG. 2), a second configuration (FIG. 3), and a third configuration (FIG. 4) to move the delivery device 100 between its first configuration, its second configuration, and its third configuration, respectively. The first movable member 160 and the second movable member 170 are movably coupled such that the second movable member 170 can move with and/or relative to the first movable member 160. As shown, in some embodiments, the second movable member 170 can be disposed, at least partially, within the first movable member 160. For example, in some embodiments, the first movable member 160 can define a substantially annular and/or cylindrical shape such that at least a portion of the second movable member 170 can be movably disposed therein. More specifically, the first movable member 160 can define an inner volume 165 that movably receives the second movable member 170.

[0029] In some embodiments, the second movable member 170 can be a plunger or the like that can be moved between a first position and a second position (see e.g., FIGS. 2. and 3) relative to the first movable member 160. In some embodiments, at least a portion of an outer surface of the second movable member 170 can form a friction fit with an inner surface of the first movable member 160 that defines the inner volume 165. Similarly stated, at least a portion of the outer surface of the second movable member 170 can form a substantially fluidic seal with the inner surface of the first movable member 160 such that a portion of the inner volume 165 that is distal to the seal formed between the first movable member 160 and the second movable member 170 is fluidically isolated from a portion of the inner volume 165 that is proximal to the seal. In this manner, the first movable member 160 and the second movable member 170 can collectively house and/or collectively form a first reservoir 131 that can at least temporarily contain a drug. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the first reservoir 131 can contain a drug formulation, a prophylactic agent, a therapeutic agent, a diagnostic agent, or any other suitable drug formulation such as, for example, those described herein.

[0030] The first movable member 160 includes an outer surface that can engage an inner surface of the housing 110 that defines the inner volume 116. More specifically, at least a portion of the first movable member 160 can include or can form a seal member that can form a friction fit with the inner surface of the housing 110 that defines the inner volume 116. In this manner, the portion of the first movable member 160 (e.g., a distal end portion) can be arranged to form a substantially fluidic seal between the seal member (not shown in FIGS. 2-4) and the inner surface of the housing 110. Similarly stated, at least a portion of the first movable member 160 can be and/or can form a plunger that is movably disposed within the inner volume 116 of the housing 110. Therefore, with the portion of the first movable member 160 forming a substantially fluidic seal with the inner surface of the housing 110, the first movable member 160 and the housing 110 can collectively house and/or can collectively form a second fluid reservoir 140 (see e.g., FIG. 2).

[0031] As described above, the first reservoir 131 can be configured to contain a drug while the delivery device 100 is in the first configuration (FIG. 2). In some instances, the delivery device 100 can be stored in the first configuration (e.g., with the drug stored in the first reservoir 131) prior to use. In other embodiments, the delivery device 100 can be stored hi a configuration in which the cartridge 130 (containing the drug) is spaced apart from and/or stored separately from the housing 110. In this manner, the cartridge 130 can be filled and/or stored in a different environment (e.g., filled in a clean room environment and stored in a refrigerated environment) from that in which the housing 110 is stored. In some instances, the delivery device 100 and/or the cartridge 130 can be stored for a length of time (e.g., 6 months or longer, one year or longer, two years or longer, three years or longer). In such instances, it can be desirable to nix and/or agitate the drug prior to delivery to, for example, ocular tissue. Such mixing and/or agitation can be accomplished according to any of the procedures and via any of the mechanisms described herein.

[0032] In use, an operator (e.g., a doctor, a physician, a technician, a nurse, an ophthalmologist, etc.) can manipulate the delivery device 100 to move the cartridge assembly 130 from its first configuration (FIG. 1) to its second configuration (FIG. 2). For example, in some embodiments, the user can exert a force on the second movable member 170 that is sufficient to move the second movable member 170 from a first position (e.g., a proximal position) relative to the first movable member 160 toward a second position relative to the first movable member 160 (e.g., a distal position), as indicated by the arrow AA in FIG. 3. In this manner, the cartridge 130 can be moved from its first configuration (e.g., FIG. 2) to its second configuration (e.g., FIG. 3). The movement of the cartridge assembly 130 from its first configuration to its second configuration corresponds to the movement of the delivery device 100 from the first configuration to the second configuration.

[0033] The movement of the second movable member 170 relative to the first movable member 160 can urge the drug to flow from the first reservoir 131 to the second reservoir 140. For example, in some embodiments, the force exerted by the user on the second movable member 170 can increase a pressure within the first reservoir 131 that is sufficient to urge the drug to flow within a flow path from the first reservoir 131 to the second reservoir 140. More specifically, in some embodiments, the first movable member 160 can include a valve 169 or the like (e.g., a one way valve, a frangible seal, or the like) that can be moved from a closed configuration (when the cartridge assembly 130 is in the first configuration, see FIG. 2) to an open configuration (when the cartridge assembly 130 is moved to the second configuration, see FIG. 3) when the pressure within the first reservoir 131 reaches a given threshold. In such embodiments, when the valve 169 is placed in the open configuration, the first movable member 160 can define at least a portion of the flow path within which the drug can flow from the first reservoir 131 to the second reservoir 140. Although shown and described as flowing through the valve 169 of the first movable member 160, in other embodiments, the flow path can be defined by any suitable structure or mechanism such as, for example, a channel defined by the housing 110 or the like. In some embodiments, such a channel can include a frangible seal that can be broken to expose a flow path. The flow of the drug from the first reservoir 131 to the second reservoir 140 can be such that the drug is mixed and/or agitated when the drug flows from the first reservoir 131 to the second reservoir 140. Thus, the drug can be reconstituted such that the particles of the drug are no longer separated.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3, the second movable member 170 can be moved relative to the first movable member 160 to place a distal surface of the second movable member 170 in contact with a distal inner surface of the first movable member 160 such that substantially an entire volume of the drug flows within the flow path to the second reservoir 140. In other embodiments, the flow of the drug can be metered such that only a portion of the volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir 140. With the desired volume of the drug disposed in the second reservoir 140 the valve 169 can be moved from the open configuration to the closed configuration. For example, in some instances, the pressure within the first reservoir 131 can fall below a given threshold that allows the valve 169 to move from the open configuration to the closed configuration. In this manner, the drug can be metered in a manner to ensure accurate delivery of the drug to the target tissue.

[0035] With the desired amount of drug in the second reservoir 140, the cartridge assembly 130 can be moved from its second configuration to its third configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the user can exert a force on the first movable member 160 and/or the second movable member 170 that is sufficient to move the first movable member 160 from a first position relative to the housing 110 (e.g., a proximal position) to a second position relative to the housing 110 (e.g., a distal position), as indicated by the arrow BB in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the arrangement of the first movable member 160 and the second movable member 170 can be such that the second movable member 170 moves with the first movable member 160. Similarly stated, when the cartridge assembly 130 is moved within the housing 110 from its first configuration (FIG. 3) to its second configuration (FIG. 4), which moves the delivery device 100 from its second configuration to its third configuration, the first movable member 160 can be in a fixed position relative to the second movable member 170. Thus, the delivery device 100 can be moved from the second configuration to the third configuration, resulting in delivery of the drug, as discussed below.

[0036] The movement of the cartridge assembly 130 from the second configuration to the third configuration can urge the drug to flow from the second reservoir 140 such that the drug is expelled from the housing 110. For example, in some instances, the movement of the cartridge assembly 130 relative to the housing 110 can increase the pressure within the second reservoir a sufficient amount to urge the drug to flow from the second reservoir 140, By way of example, although not shown in FIGS. 2-4, the housing 110 can be coupled to and/or can include a puncture member that can define a lumen. The arrangement of the puncture member can be such that the lumen is in fluid communication with the second reservoir 140. In some embodiments, the puncture member can be, for example, a microneedle and/or a microcatheter that is suitable for insertion into ocular tissue. In this manner, a user can manipulate the delivery device 100 to insert the puncture member into the ocular tissue prior to the delivery device 100 being moved to the third configuration. Thus, with the puncture member disposed within the ocular tissue and with the lumen in fluid communication with the second reservoir 140, the drug can flow through the lumen to a target site such as, for example, the suprachoroidal space 36 of the eye 10 (FIG. 1).

[0037] In other embodiments, however, the delivery device 100 need not include a puncture member and/or a microneedle. For example, in some embodiments, the delivery device 100 can be a needle-less device.

[0038] FIGS. 5-7 are schematic illustrations of a delivery device 200 according to an embodiment in a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration, respectively. The delivery device 200 includes a housing 210, a puncture member 220, a cartridge assembly 230, and a huh assembly 280. The puncture member 220 defines a lumen 224 that extends through a proximal end portion 221 and a distal end portion 222. The distal end portion 222 of the puncture member 220 can include a bevel or a sharpened tip configured to puncture a target tissue of a patient. The proximal end portion 221 of the puncture member 220 is physically and fluidically coupled to the hub assembly 280, as described in further detail herein.

[0039] The puncture member 220 can be any suitable device that is configured to puncture, a target tissue of a patient. For example, the puncture member 220 can be a microneedle configured to puncture ocular tissue. In some embodiments, the puncture member 220 can be a 32-gauge microneedle or a 34-gauge microneedle. In some embodiments, such a microneedle can be substantially similar to or the same as the microneedles described in the '009 PCT application incorporated by reference above. In some embodiments, the shape and/or size of the puncture member 220 can correspond, at least partially, with at least a portion of a target tissue. For example, in some embodiments, the length of the puncture member 220 can correspond with a thickness of a portion of ocular tissue such that when the puncture member 220 is inserted into the ocular tissue, at least a portion of the puncture member 220 is disposed within the sclera or suprachoroidal space of the eye, as described in further detail herein.

[0040] The housing 210 has a proximal end portion 211 and a distal end portion 212 and defines an inner volume 216. The distal end portion 212 is physically and fluidically coupled to the hub assembly 280, as described in further detail herein. The proximal end portion 211 can be configured to receive the cartridge assembly 230. More specifically, at least a portion of the cartridge assembly 230 can be inserted through an opening defined by the proximal end portion 211 of the housing 210 to dispose at least a portion of the cartridge assembly 230 within the inner volume 216 of the housing 210.

[0041] The cartridge assembly 230 includes a first movable member 260 and a second movable member 270. As described in further detail herein, the cartridge assembly 230 can be moved between a first configuration (see e.g., FIG. 5), a second configuration (see e.g., FIG. 6), and a third configuration (see e.g., FIG. 7) to move the delivery device 200 between its first configuration, its second configuration, and its third configuration, respectively. The first movable member 260 has a proximal end portion 261 and a distal end portion 262 and defines an inner volume 265. The proximal end portion 261 of the first movable member 260 is substantially open to movably receive at least a portion of the second movable member 270. More specifically, at least a portion of the second movable member 270 is disposed within the inner volume 265 and can be moved between a first position (e.g., a proximal position (FIG. 5)) and a second position (e.g., a distal position (FIG. 6)). The second movable member 270 includes a seal member 275 (e.g., an elastomeric member or the like) that forms a friction fit with one or more surfaces of the first movable member 260 that define the inner volume 265. In this manner, the seal member 275 and the first movable member 260 can form a fluidic seal that substantially isolates a portion of the inner volume 265 that is distal to the seal member 275 from a portion of the inner volume 265 that is proximal to the seal member 275, as described in further detail herein.

[0042] The distal end portion 262 of the first movable member 260 is at least temporarily closed (e.g., at least temporarily fluidically sealed). In this manner, the inner volume 265 (e.g., the portion of the inner volume 265 between the seal member 275 and the distal end portion 262) of the first movable member 260 is fluidically isolated from a volume outside of the first movable member 260. Thus, the first movable member 260 and the second movable member 270 can collectively house and/or collectively form a first reservoir 231. The first reservoir 231 can contain a drug formulation of the compositions described herein (e.g., a prophylactic agent, a therapeutic agent, or a diagnostic agent). In some embodiments, the first reservoir 231 can contain a drug formulation with a volume of about 0.5 mL or less. In other embodiments, the first reservoir 231 can contain a drug formulation with a volume of about 0.1 mL. In still other embodiments, the first reservoir 231 can contain a drug formulation with a volume greater than about 0.5 mL.

[0043] The distal end portion 262 of the first movable member 260 further includes and/or forms a seal member 268. As described above with reference to the seal member 275, the seal member 268 can form a friction fit with one or more inner surfaces of the housing 210 that define the, inner volume 216. In this manner, the seal member 268 and the housing 210 can form a fluidic seal that substantially isolates a portion of the inner volume 216 that is distal to the seal member 268 from a portion of the inner volume 216 that is proximal to the seal member 268. Thus, the first movable member 260 and the housing 210 can collectively house and/or can collectively form a second fluid reservoir 240, as described in further detail herein.

[0044] In some embodiments, the distal end portion 262 of the first movable member 260 can be moved between a first configuration (e.g., a closed or sealed configuration) and a second configuration (e.g., an open configuration). For example, the distal end portion 262 of the first movable member 260 can include a valve 269 that can be moved between a first configuration (e.g., an closed configuration as shown in FIG. 5) and a second configuration (e.g., an open configuration as shown in FIG. 6). In some embodiments, the valve 269 can be a one way valve or the like. In other embodiments, the distal end portion 262 of the first movable member 260 can include a surface that can be deformed (e.g., punctured, broken, opened, or otherwise reconfigured) to expel the drug formulation contained within the first reservoir 231.

[0045] As described above, the distal end portion 212 of the housing 210 is physically and fluidically coupled to the hub assembly 280. For example, in some embodiments, the hub assembly 280 and the distal end portion 212 of the housing 210 can form a press fit, a snap fit, a threaded coupling, and/or the like. In other embodiments, the hub assembly 280 can be monolithically formed with the housing 210. As shown in FIG. 5, the hub assembly 280 is physically and fluidically coupled to the proximal end portion 221 of the puncture member 220. For example, in some embodiments, the proximal end portion 221 of the puncture member 220 can be disposed within a lumen (not shown in FIG. 5) defined by the hub assembly 280. In some embodiments, the hub assembly 280 can be over-molded about the proximal end portion 221 of the puncture member 220. In other embodiments, a delivery device can include a hub and a puncture member that are monolithically formed.

[0046] With the hub assembly 280 physically and fluidically coupled to the housing 210 and physically and fluidically coupled to the puncture member 220, the lumen 224 of the puncture member 220 is placed in fluid communication with the second reservoir 240. In some embodiments, the hub assembly 280 can include an adjustment mechanism or the like that can selectively control an effective shaft length of the puncture member 220. For example, in some embodiments, the hub assembly 280 can be arranged in a similar manner as those described in the U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/268,687 entitled “Apparatus and Methods for Ocular Injection,” and filed on May 2, 2014, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0047] In use, an operator (e.g., a doctor, technician, nurse, physician, ophthalmologist, etc.) can manipulate the delivery device 200 to insert the puncture member 220 into, for example, an ocular tissue. In some embodiments, the length of the puncture member 220 can at least partially correspond with the ocular tissue such that when inserted into the eye, the distal end portion 222 of the puncture member 220 is disposed within the suprachoroidal space. More specifically, the distal end portion 222 of the puncture member 220 pierces the sclera of the eye and is disposed within the sclera and/or the suprachoroidal space without substantially piercing the choroid of the eye.

[0048] With the puncture member 220 disposed within the eye, the cartridge assembly 230 can be moved from its first configuration to its second configuration to move the delivery device 200 from the first configuration (FIG. 5) to the second configuration (FIG. 6). For example, in some embodiments, the user can exert a force on the second movable member 270 that is sufficient to move the second movable member 270 from its first position (e.g., a proximal position) relative to the first movable member 260 toward its second position (e.g., a distal position) relative to the first movable member 260, as indicated by the arrow CC in FIG. 6.

[0049] In some embodiments, the force exerted by the user on the second movable member 270 can increase a pressure within the first reservoir 231 that is sufficient to move the valve 269 from its first configuration (e.g., the closed configuration, see FIG. 5) to its second configuration (e.g., the open configuration, see FIG. 6). For example, in some embodiments, the valve 269 can be configured to move from its first configuration to its second configuration when the pressure within the first reservoir 231 reaches or exceeds a given threshold. In other embodiments, the valve 269 can be manually moved between the first configuration and the second configuration via an actuator such as, for example, a toggle, a switch, a button, a slide, a rotational knob, etc. Therefore, when the valve 269 is placed in the second configuration, the first movable member 260 can define at least a portion of the flow path within which the drug can flow from the first reservoir 231 to the second reservoir 240. Expanding further, the seal member 268 disposed at the distal end portion 262 of the first movable member 260 fluidically isolates the first reservoir 231 from the second reservoir when the cartridge assembly 230 is in its first configuration. Thus, when the valve 269 is moved from its first configuration to its second configuration the substantially opened valve 269 defines the flow path that is otherwise obstructed while the cartridge assembly 230 is in its first configuration. The flow of the drug from the first reservoir 231 to the second reservoir 240 can be such that the drug is mixed and/or agitated when the drug flows from the first reservoir 231 to the second reservoir 240. Thus, the drug can be reconstituted such that the particles of the drug are no longer separated.

[0050] Although FIG. 6 shows that the entire amount of the drug within the first reservoir 231 flows into the second reservoir 240, in some instances, the flow of the drug from the first reservoir 231 to the second reservoir 240 can be metered such that a desired volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir 240. For example, in some embodiments, the housing 210 can include a volumetric indicator 246 or the like. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the volumetric indicator 246 can be a set of markings (e.g., lines, tick marks, hash marks, dots, etc.) that can be associated with a fill volume of the second reservoir 240 and/or a dispense volume of the first reservoir 231. In this manner, the operator can monitor the volumetric indicator 246 as the drug flows into the second reservoir 240 and, in some instances, limit the volume of the drug that is transferred to the second reservoir 240. In other instances, substantially the entire volume of the drug within the first reservoir 231 can flow through the valve 269 to be disposed within the second reservoir 240. With the desired volume of the drug disposed in the second reservoir 240, the valve 269 can be moved from the second configuration (e.g., the open configuration) to the first configuration (e.g., the closed configuration). For example, in some instances, the pressure within the first reservoir 231 can fall below a given threshold that allows the valve 269 to move from the open configuration to the closed configuration. In other embodiments, the user can engage an actuator (not shown in FIGS. 5-7) to move the valve 269 from the second configuration to the first configuration. In some embodiments, the valve 269 can be moved from the second configuration to a third configuration. In such embodiments, the third configuration can be substantially similar to the first configuration (e.g., a closed configuration). In some embodiments, the valve 269 can be configured to remain substantially open once moved from the first configuration to the second configuration.

[0051] Once the desired volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir 240, the cartridge assembly 230 can be moved from its second configuration to its third configuration to move the delivery device 200 from the second configuration (FIG. 6) to the third configuration (FIG. 7). For example, in some embodiments, the user can exert a force on the second movable member 270 that is sufficient to move the first movable member 260 from a first position relative to the housing 210 (e.g., a proximal position) to a second position relative to the housing 210 (e.g., a distal position), as indicated by the arrow DD in FIG. 7. In some instances, a distal surface of the seal member 275 included in the second movable member 270 can be placed in contact with a proximal surface of the seal member 268 included in the first member 260 such that the first movable member 260 and the second movable member 270 move substantially concurrently to place the cartridge assembly 230 in the third configuration. In other instances, such as when only a portion of the volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir, the seal member 275 of the second movable member 270 can be spaced apart from the seal member 268 of the first movable member 260. In such instances, the valve 269 can be in the second configuration (e.g., closed) to fluidically isolate the first reservoir 231 from the second reservoir 240. Thus, the force that is exerted on the second movable member 270 can result in the distal surface of the seal member 275 exerting a pressure on a surface of the drug within the first reservoir 231 which can, in turn, transfer at least a portion of the force to the seal member 268 of the first movable member 260, thereby placing the cartridge assembly 230 in the third configuration (e.g., the drug is an incompressible fluid or a minimally compressible fluid).

[0052] With the lumen 224 of the puncture member 220 in fluid communication with the second reservoir 240, the movement of the cartridge assembly 230 from its second configuration to its third configuration expels the drug formulation (contained within the second reservoir 240, as described above) through the lumen 224 of the puncture member 220. Thus, the delivery device 200 can deliver a desired volume of a drug formulation to the suprachoroidal space of the eye and the drug formulation can flow within the suprachoroidal space to be delivered to, for example, the posterior region of the eye.

[0053] FIGS. 8-10 are schematic illustrations of a delivery device 300 according to another embodiment in a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration, respectively. The delivery device 300 includes a housing 310, a puncture member 320, a cartridge assembly 330, a first reservoir 331, and a second reservoir 340. The housing 310 has a proximal end portion 311 and a distal end portion 312 and defines an inner volume 316. The proximal end portion 311 movably receives the cartridge assembly 330. More specifically, at least a portion of the cartridge assembly 330 is inserted through an opening defined by the proximal end portion 311 of the housing 310 to movably dispose at least a portion of the cartridge assembly 330 within the inner volume 316 of the housing 310. For example, in some embodiments, the delivery device 300 can be stored in a configuration in which the cartridge 330 (containing the drug) is spaced apart from and/or stored separately from the housing 310. In this manner, the cartridge 330 can be filled and/or stored in a different environment (e.g., filled in a clean room environment and stored in a refrigerated environment) from that in which the housing 310 is stored. The distal end portion 312 of the housing 310 is physically and fluidically coupled to the puncture member 320, as described in further detail herein.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 8, the housing 310 further includes a safety tab 390. For example, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the safety tab 390 can be disposed within a slot or the like (not shown) in the proximal end portion 311 of the housing 310 and can be arranged to selectively engage a portion of the cartridge assembly 330 to limit at least a distal movement of the cartridge assembly 330 relative to the housing 310. Expanding further, in some embodiments, the safety tab can be a substantially elongate member than can traverse the inner volume 316 of the housing 310 such that when the cartridge assembly 330 is inserted into the inner volume 316, the safety to 390 engages an outer surface of the cartridge assembly 330. Therefore, in use, an operator can manipulate the delivery device 300 to move the safety tab 390 relative to the housing 310 such that the portion of the safety tab 390 is removed from the inner volume 316, thereby allowing the cartridge assembly 330 to move relative to the housing 310, as described in further detail herein.

[0055] The puncture member 320 can be configured to puncture and/or penetrate a portion of the eye to deliver a drug formulation to, for example, the suprachoroidal space. In some embodiments, the puncture member 320 can be a 32-gauge microneedle or a 34-gauge microneedle. The puncture member 320 has a proximal end portion 321 and a distal end portion 322, and defines a lumen 324. As shown in FIG. 8, the proximal end portion 321 is coupled to the distal end portion 312 of the housing 310 and can be arranged such that the lumen 324 is placed in fluid communication with the second reservoir 340. More specifically, the puncture member 320 extends from the distal end portion 312 of the housing 310 in the distal direction to define an effective shaft length that can substantially correspond to at least a portion of the eye, as described above. In some embodiments, the distal end portion 322 can be substantially similar to or the same as those described in the '009 PCT application incorporated by reference above. In this manner, the distal end portion 322 of the puncture member 320 can pierce ocular tissue while minimizing deformation of the tissue at or near the insertion site. In some embodiments, the puncture member 320 can be substantially similar to the puncture member 220 described above with reference to FIGS. 5-7. Thus, the puncture member 320 is not described in further detail herein.

[0056] The cartridge assembly 330 includes a first movable member 360 and a second movable member 370. As described in further detail herein, the cartridge assembly 330 can be moved between a first configuration (FIG. 8), a second configuration (FIG. 9), and a third configuration (FIG. 10) to move the delivery device 300 between its first configuration, its second configuration, and its third configuration, respectively. The first movable member 360 has a proximal end portion 361 and a distal end portion 362 and defines an inner volume 365. The first movable member 360 can be any suitable shape, size, or configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the first movable member 360 can have a substantially cylindrical shape. The proximal end portion 362 of the first movable member 360 is substantially open to movably receive the first reservoir 331 and at least a portion of the second movable member 370. For example, at least a portion of the second movable member 370 is disposed within the inner volume 365 and can be moved between a first position (e.g., a proximal position, see FIG. 8) and a second position (e.g., a distal position, see FIG. 9), as described in further detail herein. Similarly, the first reservoir 331 can be moved, within the inner volume 365, between a first configuration (see e.g., FIG. 8) and a second configuration (see e.g., FIG. 9), as described in further detail herein.

[0057] The first movable member 360 includes an inner surface 364 that defines the inner volume 365. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second movable member 370 can be in contact with the inner surface 364. For example, in some embodiments, the second movable member 370 includes a seal member 375 that forms a friction fit with the inner surface 364 of the first movable member 360. In this manner, the seal member 375 and the first movable member 360 can form a substantially fluidic seal that can fluidically isolate a portion of the inner volume 365 that is distal to the seal member 375 from a portion of the inner volume 365 that is proximal to the seal member 375, as described in further detail herein.

[0058] In some embodiments, the inner surface 364 of the first movable member 360 is substantially cylindrical and includes and/or firms one or more shoulders 363. In some embodiments, the shoulder 363 can be formed by a change in a diameter of the inner surface 364. For example, a first portion of the inner surface 364 (e.g., a distal end portion) can have a first diameter and a second portion of the inner surface 364 (e.g., a proximal end portion) can have a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter. Therefore, the change in the diameter of the inner surface 364 forms a substantially annular shoulder 363. In some embodiments, the shoulder 363 is continuous (e.g., the shoulder 363 circumscribes the inner surface 364). In other embodiments, a first movable member can have an inner surface that can form one or more shoulders that are discontinuous.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 8, the shoulder 363 is in contact with an outer surface of the first reservoir 331, when the first reservoir 331 is disposed within the inner volume 365. Moreover, the shoulder 363 can form and/or can include one or more protrusions 366 that can be operative in moving the first reservoir 331 from the first configuration to the second configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the protrusions 366 formed by the shoulder 363 can be a barbed surface that can pierce or puncture a portion of the outer surface of the first reservoir 331 to move the first reservoir 331 from the first configuration to the second configuration, as described in further detail herein. In some embodiments, an outer surface of the shoulder 363 can be in contact with the safety tab 390 (described above) to selectively limit movement of the first movable member 360, as described in further detail herein.

[0060] The distal end portion 362 of the first movable member 360 is at least temporarily closed (e.g., at least temporarily fluidically sealed). In this manner, the inner volume 365 (e.g., the portion of the inner volume 365 between the seal member 375 and the distal end portion 362) of the first movable member 360 is selectively fluidically isolated from a volume outside of the first movable member 360. For example, the distal end portion 362 includes a valve 369 that can be moved between a first configuration (e.g., a closed or sealed configuration (see e.g., FIG. 8)) and a second configuration (e.g., an open configuration (see e.g., FIG. 9)). In some embodiments, the valve 369 can be a one way valve or the like (e.g., a check valve such as, for example, a ball valve, a diaphragm valve, a stop valve, a duckbill valve, or the like). In this manner, the sterility of the inner volume 365 between the seal member 375 and the distal end portion 362 of the first movable member 360 can be maintained prior to the valve 369 being moved to the second configuration.

[0061] As shown in FIGS. 8-10, the distal end portion 362 is movably disposed within a portion of the second reservoir 340. For example, the distal end portion 362 of the first movable member 360 can be moved from a first position within the second reservoir 340 (e.g., a proximal position, see FIG. 9) to a second position within the second reservoir (e.g., a distal direction, see FIG. 10), when the second movable member 370 is moved from its first position to its second position relative to the housing 310. As described above with reference) to the seal member 375, the distal end portion 362 of the first movable member 360 includes a seal member 368 that forms a friction fit with an inner surface of the second reservoir 340. In this manner, the seal member 368 and the inner surface of the second reservoir 340 form a substantially fluid tight seal that isolates a portion of the second reservoir 340 that is distal to the seal member 368 from a portion of the second reservoir 340 that is proximal to the seal member 368.

[0062] The first reservoir 331 of the delivery device 300 has a proximal end portion 332 and a distal end portion 333 and is movable between its first configuration (FIG. 8) and its second configuration (FIGS. 9 and 10), as described above. The first reservoir 331 can be any suitable shape, size, or configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the first reservoir 331 can be a pouch, a fillable bag, a deformable package, a deformable vial, or the like. The first reservoir 331 is arranged within the inner volume 365 of the first movable member 360 such that the proximal end portion 332 of the fluid reservoir 331 is at least temporarily in contact with the seal member 375 of the second movable member 370 and the distal end portion 333 of the first reservoir 331 is at least temporarily in contact with the shoulder 363 of the first movable member 360. In this manner, the first reservoir 331 can be moved from its first configuration to its second configuration by deforming at least a portion of the first reservoir 331. More specifically, the first reservoir 331 contains a drug formulation of the compositions described herein (e.g., a prophylactic agent, a therapeutic agent, or a diagnostic agent) when in the first configuration, and can be moved to the second configuration to allow the drug formulation to be expelled from within the first reservoir 331. In some embodiments, when in the first configuration, the first reservoir 331 can contain a drug formulation with a volume of about 0.5 mL or less. In other embodiments, the first reservoir 331 can contain a drug formulation with a volume of about 0.1 mL. In still other embodiments, the first reservoir 331 can contain a drug formulation with a volume greater than about 0.5 mL.

[0063] The second reservoir 340 of the delivery device 300 has a proximal end portion 341 and a distal end portion 342. The second reservoir 340 can be any suitable shape, size, or configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the second reservoir 340 can be a vial that is a substantially rigid container that can define any suitable sized volume configured to receive the drug formulation. Moreover, the second reservoir 340 can include a volumetric indicator 346 that can provide a user with an indication of an amount of drug formulation disposed therein, as described above with reference to the volumetric indicator 246 of FIGS. 5-7.

[0064] The second reservoir 340 is disposed within the inner volume 316 of the housing 310 and can be placed in fluid communication with the lumen 324 of the puncture member 340. For example, in some embodiments, the proximal end portion 321 of the puncture member 320 can be physically and fluidically coupled to the second reservoir 340 such that the lumen 324 of the puncture member 320 is maintained in constant fluid communication with the second reservoir 340. In other embodiments, the lumen 324 of the puncture member 320 can have a sufficiently small diameter such that a drug formulation will not substantially flow through the lumen 324 of the puncture member 320 unless the pressure within the second reservoir 340 is increased beyond a given threshold. In other embodiments, the second reservoir 340 and/or the puncture member 320 can include a valve, a breakable seal, or the like that can be moved from a first configuration (e.g., a closed configuration), where the second reservoir 340 is fluidically isolated from the puncture member 320, to a second configuration (e.g., an open configuration), where the second reservoir 340 is in fluid communication with the lumen 324 of the puncture member 320. Therefore, a drug formulation can be urged to flow from the second reservoir 340 through the lumen 324 of the puncture member 320 to be delivered to a target tissue (e.g., the suprachoroidal space of the eye), as described in further detail herein.

[0065] In use, an operator (e.g., a doctor, technician, nurse, physician, ophthalmologist, etc.) can manipulate the delivery device 300 to insert the puncture member 320 into, for example, an ocular tissue. In some embodiments, the length of the puncture member 320 can at least partially correspond with ocular tissue such that, when inserted into the eye, the distal end portion 322 of the puncture member 320 is disposed within the suprachoroidal space. More specifically, the distal end portion 322 of the puncture member 320 pierces the sclera of the eye and is disposed within the sclera and/or the suprachoroidal space without substantially piercing the choroid of the eye (see e.g., FIG. 1 for anatomical context). With the puncture member 320 disposed within the eye, the cartridge assembly 330 can be moved from its first configuration to its second configuration to move the delivery device 300 from the first configuration (FIG. 8) to the second configuration (FIG. 9). For example, in some embodiments, the user can exert a force on the second movable member 370 that is sufficient to move the second movable member 370 from its first position (e.g., a proximal position) relative to the first movable member 360 toward its second position (e.g., a distal position) relative to the first movable member 360, as indicated by the arrow EE in FIG. 9. Expanding further, in some embodiments, the proximal end portion 361 of the first movable member 360 can include an engagement portion (e.g., a flange) that can be engaged by the user to limit movement of the first movable member 360. Moreover, with the first movable member 360 in contact with the safety tab 390, the safety tab 390 can also limit movement of the first movable member 360. Therefore, the second movable member 370 can be moved relative to the first movable member 360 without substantially moving the first movable member 360 relative to the housing 310. In some embodiments, the cartridge assembly 330 can be moved from its first configuration to its second configuration before the puncture member 320 is disposed within the eye.

[0066] With the first reservoir 331 bounded by (e.g., in contact with) the seal member 375 of the second movable member 370, and the inner surface 364 of the first movable member 360, the force exerted by the user on the second movable member 370 compresses the first reservoir 331 between the second movable member 370 and the shoulder 363. In this manner, the protrusions 366 that extend from the shoulders 363 puncture the distal end portion 333 of the first reservoir 331 to move the first reservoir 331 from its first configuration to its second configuration, as shown in FIG. 9. Thus, the fluid reservoir 331 is placed in fluid communication with the inner volume 365 of the first movable member 360.

[0067] With the first reservoir 331 in the second configuration, the valve 369 can be moved from its first configuration (e.g., the closed configuration, see FIG. 8) to its second configuration (e.g., the open configuration, see FIG. 9). For example, in some embodiments, the valve 369 can move from the first configuration to the second configuration when the pressure within the portion of the inner volume 365 between the seal member 375 and the distal end portion 362 of the first movable member 360 reaches or exceeds a given threshold. In other embodiments, the valve 369 can be manually moved between the first configuration and the second configuration via an actuator such as, for example, a toggle, a switch, a button, a slide, a rotational knob, etc (not shown in FIGS. 8-10). Therefore, when the valve 369 is placed in the second configuration, the first movable member 360 can define at least a portion of the flow path within which the drug can flow from the first reservoir 331 to the second reservoir 340 that would otherwise be obstructed while the cartridge assembly 330 is in its first configuration. The flow of the drug from the first reservoir 331 to the second reservoir 340 can be such that the drug is mixed and/or agitated when the drug flows from the first reservoir 331 to the second reservoir 340. Thus the drug can be reconstituted such that the particles of the drug are no longer separated.

[0068] Although FIG. 9 shows that the entire amount of the drug within the first reservoir 331 flows into the second reservoir 340, in some instances, the flow of the drug from the first reservoir 331 to the second reservoir 340 can be metered such that a desired volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir 340. For example, in some embodiments, the second reservoir 340 can include a volumetric indicator 346 or the like. In this manner, the operator can monitor the volumetric indicator 346 as the drug flows into the second reservoir 340 and, in some instances, limit the volume of the drug that is transferred to the second reservoir 340. With the desired volume of the drug disposed in the second reservoir 340 the valve 369 can be moved from the second, open configuration to the first, closed configuration (as described in detail above with reference to the valve 268 shown in FIG. 6).

[0069] Once the desired volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir 340 and the valve 369 is in its first configuration, the safety tab 390 can be removed from the housing 310 or otherwise disengaged from the first movable member 360 to allow the cartridge assembly 330 to be moved from its second configuration (FIG. 9) to its third configuration (FIG. 10) to move the delivery device 300 from the second configuration to the third configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the user can remove the safety tab 390 and can exert a force on the first movable member 360 that is sufficient to move the first movable member 360 from a first position relative to the housing 310 (e.g., a proximal position) to a second position relative to the housing 310 (e.g., a distal position), as indicated by the arrow FF in FIG. 10. Expanding further, in some embodiments, the proximal end portion 311 of the housing 310 can include an engagement portion (e.g., a flange) that can be engaged to limit movement of the housing 310. Therefore, the first movable member 360 can be moved relative to the housing 310 without substantially moving the housing 310.

[0070] With the second reservoir 340 coupled to the housing 310, the distal movement (e.g., in the FF direction) of the first movable member 360 is such that the distal end portion 362 of the first movable member 360 moves within the second reservoir 340. Furthermore, with the seal member 368 forming a substantially fluid tight seal with the inner surface of the second reservoir 340, the distal movement of the seal member 368 exerts a pressure on a surface of the drug within the second reservoir 340 that is sufficient to expel the drug formulation through the lumen 324 of the puncture member 320. For example, in some embodiments, the pressure exerted on the surface of the drug formulation can increase the pressure within the second reservoir 340 to a pressure that is sufficient to open a valve (not shown) of the second reservoir 340 and/or of the puncture member 320 (as described above). Thus, the delivery device 300 can deliver a desired volume of a drug formulation to the suprachoroidal space of the eye and the drug formulation can flow within the suprachoroidal space to be delivered to, for example, the posterior region of the eye.

[0071] FIGS. 11-13 are schematic illustrations of a delivery device 400 according to another embodiment in a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration, respectively. The delivery device 400 includes a housing 410, a puncture member 420, and a cartridge assembly 430. The housing 410 has a proximal end portion 411 and a distal end portion 412 and defines an inner volume 416. More particularly, the housing 410 includes an inner surface 414 that defines the inner volume 416. The inner volume 416 is configured to receive and/or house at least a portion of the cartridge assembly 430. The distal end portion 412 can movably receive a portion of the puncture member 420. For example, although not shown in FIGS. 11-13, in some embodiments, the distal end portion 412 of the housing 410 can include an opening, a channel, a slot, etc. that can movably receive the portion of the puncture member 420. The proximal end portion 411 can include and/or can be coupled to an engagement portion 413, as described in further detail herein.

[0072] The puncture member 420 can be configured to puncture and/or penetrate a portion of the eye to deliver a drug formulation to, for example, the suprachoroidal space. The puncture member 420 has a proximal end portion 421 and a distal end portion 422, and defines a lumen 424. As shown in FIG. 11, the proximal end portion 421 is physically and fluidically coupled to a portion of the cartridge assembly 430, as described in further detail herein. In some embodiments, the distal end portion 422 can be substantially similar to or the same as those described in the '009 PCT application incorporated by reference above. In this manner, the distal end portion 412 of the puncture member 410 can pierce ocular tissue while minimizing deformation of the tissue at or near the insertion site In some embodiments, the puncture member 420 can be substantially similar to the puncture member 220 described above with reference to FIGS. 5-7. Thus, the puncture member 420 is not described in further detail herein.

[0073] The cartridge assembly 430 includes a first reservoir 431, a second reservoir 440, and a plunger 470. The cartridge assembly 430 is disposed within the inner volume 416 of the housing 410 and can be moved between a first configuration (FIG. 11), a second configuration (FIG. 12), and a third configuration (FIG. 13) to move the delivery device 400 between its first configuration, its second configuration, and its third configuration, respectively. More specifically, a first portion 417 of the inner volume 416 is configured to house the first reservoir 431 of the cartridge assembly 430. Similarly, a second portion 418 of the inner volume 416 is configured to house the second reservoir 440 included in the cartridge assembly 430.

[0074] The first reservoir 431 of the cartridge assembly 430 has a proximal end portion 432 and a distal end portion 433 and can be movable between a first configuration (FIG. 11) and a second configuration (FIGS. 12 and 13), as described above. The first reservoir 431 can be any suitable shape, size, or configuration. In some embodiments, the first reservoir 431 can have a shape that substantially corresponds with a shape of the inner surface 414 of the housing 410 that defines the first portion 417 of the inner volume 416. For example, in some embodiments, the first reservoir 430 can be a pouch or the like and can have a shape, when filled with a drug formulation, that substantially corresponds with the shape of the first portion 417 of the inner volume 416 (e.g., substantially conical). When in the first configuration, the first reservoir 431 can contain any suitable drug formulation such as any of the compositions described herein, and when moved to the second configuration, the first reservoir 431 can allow the drug formulation to be expelled from within the first reservoir 431. In some embodiments, when in the first configuration, the first reservoir 431 can contain a drug formulation with a volume of about 0.5 mL, or less. In other embodiments, the first reservoir 431 can contain a drug formulation with a volume of about 0.1 mL. In still other embodiments, the first reservoir 431 can contain a drug formulation with a volume greater than about 0.5 mL.

[0075] The second reservoir 440 has a proximal end portion 441 and a distal end portion 442 and defines an inner volume 445. More specifically, the second reservoir 440 has a set of walls 443 that have an outer surface 448 and an inner surface 444, which defines the inner volume 445. The second reservoir 440 (analogous to a first movable member) of the cartridge assembly 430 is disposed within the second portion 418 of the inner volume 416 and is movable between a first position (FIG. 11) and a second position (FIG. 12), relative to the housing 410. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the outer surface 448 of the second reservoir 440 includes a set of threads 449 that can engage a set of threads 415 defined by the inner surface 414 of the housing 410. In this manner, the second reservoir 440 can be rotated relative to the housing 410 to advance the threads 449 of the second reservoir 440 along the threads 415 of the housing 410, thereby moving the second reservoir 440 between its first position and its second position, relative to the housing 410. Moreover, the outer surface 448 of the second reservoir 440 includes a set of protrusions 447 (e.g., barbs or the like as described above with reference to the first movable member 360 of FIGS. 8-10) along a proximal edge that are placed in contact with the distal end portion 432 of the first reservoir 431. In this manner, the protrusions 447 are operable in moving the first reservoir 431 from its first configuration to its second configuration, as described in further detail herein.

[0076] The distal end portion 442 of the second reservoir 440 is substantially closed and is coupled to the proximal end portion 421 of the puncture member 420. In this manner, the lumen 424 defined by the puncture member 420 can be selectively placed in fluid communication with the inner volume 445 of the second reservoir 440, as described in further detail herein. The proximal end portion 442 of the second reservoir 440 is substantially open to movably receive at least a portion of the plunger 470. For example, at least a portion of the plunger 470 (analogous to a second movable member) is disposed within the inner volume 445 and can be moved between a first position (e.g., a proximal position) and a second position (e.g., a distal position). More specifically, the plunger 470 includes a seal member 475 that forms a friction fit with the inner surface 444 of the walls 443. In this manner, the seal member 475 and the second reservoir 440 can form a substantially fluid tight seal that can fluidically isolate a portion of the inner volume 445 that is distal to the seal member 475 from a portion of the inner volume 445 that is proximal to the seal member 475.

[0077] In use, an operator (e.g., a doctor, technician, nurse, physician, ophthalmologist, etc.) can manipulate the delivery device 400 to insert the puncture member 420 into, for example, ocular tissue. In some embodiments, the length of the puncture member 420 can at least partially correspond with the ocular tissue such that, when inserted into the eye, the distal end portion 422 of the puncture member 420 is disposed within the suprachoroidal space. More specifically, the distal end portion 422 of the puncture member 420 pierces the sclera of the eye and is disposed within the sclera and/or the suprachoroidal space without substantially piercing the choroid of the eye (see e.g., FIG. 1 for anatomical context). With the puncture member 420 disposed within the eye, the cartridge assembly 430 can be moved from its first configuration (FIG. 11) to its second configuration (FIG. 12) to move the delivery device 400 from the first configuration to the second configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the user can manipulate the engagement portion 413 of the housing 410 to rotate the housing 410 relative to the second reservoir 440 (or vice versa), as indicated by the arrow GG in FIG. 12. In this manner, the threads 440 of the second reservoir 440 are advanced along the threads 415 of the housing 410 to move the second reservoir 440 from its first position (e.g., a distal position) relative to the housing 410 toward its second position (e.g., a proximal position) relative to the housing 410. as indicated by the arrow HH.

[0078] The proximal movement of the second reservoir 440 relative to the housing 410 can be such that the second reservoir 440 is placed in contact with the first reservoir 431 disposed within the first portion 417 of the inner volume 416, In this manner, the protrusions 447 that extend from the proximal surface of the second reservoir 440 puncture the distal end portion 433 of the first reservoir 431, thereby moving the first reservoir 431 from its first configuration to its second configuration, as shown in FIG. 12. Thus, the fluid reservoir 431 is placed in fluid communication with the inner volume 445 of the second reservoir 440. For example, although not shown in FIGS. 11-13, the seal member 475 of the plunger 470 and/or the inner surface 444 of the second reservoir 440 can include and/or can define a fluid flow path that can selectively place the first reservoir 431 (when the first reservoir 431 is in its second configuration) in fluid communication with a portion of the inner volume 445 of the second reservoir 440 that is distal to the seal member 475. By way of example, in some embodiments, the seal member 475 can include a valve (not shown in FIGS. 11-13) that can be moved from a closed configuration to an open configuration, as described above with reference to the valve 369 of the first movable member 360 shown in FIG. 9. The flow of the drug from the first reservoir 431 to the second reservoir 440 can be such that the drug is mixed and/or agitated when the drug flows from the first reservoir 431 to the second reservoir 440. Thus, the drug can be reconstituted such that the particles of the drug are no longer separated.

[0079] Although FIG. 12 shows that the entire amount of the drug within the first reservoir 431 flows into the second reservoir 440, in some instances, the flow of the drug from the first reservoir 431 to the second reservoir 440 can be metered such that a desired volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir 440. For example, in some embodiments, the second reservoir 440 can include a volumetric indicator 446 or the like, as described above with reference to the delivery device 200 of FIGS. 5-7. In this manner, the operator can monitor the volumetric indicator 446 as the drug flows into the second reservoir 440 to ensure a desired volume of the drug that is transferred to the second reservoir 440. With the desired volume of the drug disposed in the second reservoir 440, the fluid flow path defined by the plunger 470 and/or the housing 410 can be returned to a closed configuration.

[0080] Once the desired volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir 440, the cartridge assembly 430 can be moved from its second configuration (FIG. 12) to its third configuration (FIG. 13) to move the delivery device 400 from the second configuration to the third configuration. For example, in some embodiments, the user can exert a force on the plunger 470 that is sufficient to move the plunger 470 from a first position relative to the second reservoir 440 (e.g., a proximal position) to a second position relative to the second reservoir 440 (e.g., a distal position), as indicated by the arrow II in FIG. 13. Therefore, with the seal member 475 forming a substantially fluidic seal with the inner surface 444 of the second reservoir 440, the distal movement of the seal member 475 exerts a pressure on a surface of the drug within the second reservoir 440 that is sufficient to expel the drug formulation through the lumen 424 of the puncture member 420. For example, in some embodiments, the pressure exerted on the surface of the drug formulation can increase the pressure within the second reservoir 440 to a pressure that is sufficient to open a valve (not shown) of the second reservoir 440 and/or of the puncture member 420 (as described above with reference to the second reservoir 340 and the puncture member 320, respectively, shown in FIGS. 8-10). In other embodiments, the increase in the pressure within the second reservoir 440 can be sufficient to break a frangible seal or the like. Thus, the delivery device 400 can deliver a desired volume of a drug formulation to the suprachoroidal space of the eye and the drug formulation can flow within the suprachoroidal space to be delivered to, for example, the posterior region of the eye.

[0081] While the delivery devices 200, 300, and 400 have been shown and described above as including a first reservoir (e.g., the first reservoirs 231, 331, and 431, respectively) and a second reservoir (e.g., the second reservoir 240, 340, and 440, respectively) that are substantially housed by a housing (e.g., the housing 210, 310, and 410, respectively), in other embodiments, a delivery device can include at least one reservoir that is disposed substantially outside of a housing. In such embodiments, however, the delivery device can include a puncture member that has a lumen with a diameter that substantially limits and/or prevents a drug formulation from being drawn from an external reservoir and into an internal reservoir, while still allowing a drug formulation to be expelled (e.g., pushed) through the lumen. In this manner, the delivery device of such embodiments can include an alternative method for drawing a drug formulation from an external reservoir and into an internal reservoir. Such embodiments can allow the use of a pre-filled container in conjunction with a delivery device.

[0082] For example, FIGS. 14-16 are schematic illustrations of a delivery device 500 according to an embodiment in a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration, respectively. The delivery device 500 includes a housing 510, a puncture member 520, a cartridge assembly 530, and a plunger 570. As shown in FIG. 14, the cartridge assembly 530 can be, for example, an external cartridge. The cartridge assembly 530 includes at least a first reservoir 531 and an adapter 538. The first reservoir 531 can be any suitable fluid reservoir such as, for example, a vial, a package, a pouch, and/or the like. More specifically, in some embodiments, the first reservoir 531 can be a prefilled container that can include a predetermined volume of a drug formulation. In some embodiments, the first reservoir 531 can be packaged separately and/or stored separately from the delivery device 500. In some embodiments, the first reservoir 531 can include a volumetric indicator and/or indicia. In such embodiments, a user can, for example, select a reservoir based at least in part on the volume of the drug formulation stored therein. The first reservoir 531 can contain a volume of a drug formulation such as any of the compositions described herein.

[0083] The adapter 538 of the cartridge assembly 530 is operably coupled to the first reservoir 531 and can be removably coupled to the housing 510. In some embodiments, the adapter 538 can be, for example, a cap or the like that is coupled to the first reservoir 531. In such embodiments, the adapter 538 can be fluidically coupled to the housing 510 via any suitable intervening structure such as, for example, a cannula or the like. Therefore, the adapter 538 can place the first reservoir 531 in fluid communication a portion of the housing 510, as described in further detail herein.

[0084] The puncture member 520 defines a lumen that extends through a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The proximal end portion of the puncture member 520 is physically and fluidically coupled to the housing 510, as described in further detail herein. The distal end portion of the puncture member 520 can include, for example, a bevel or a sharpened tip that can be substantially similar to those described in the '009 PCT application, incorporated by reference above. In some embodiments, the puncture member 520 can be substantially similar to or the same as the puncture members 220, 320, and/o 420 described herein. Thus, the puncture member 520 is not described in further detail herein.

[0085] The housing 510 has a proximal end portion 511 and a distal end portion 512 and defines an inner volume 516. The distal end portion 512 is physically and fluidically coupled to the puncture member 520 to place the lumen of the puncture member 520 in fluid communication with the inner volume 516. The proximal end portion 511 movably receives the plunger 570. For example, at least a portion of the plunger 570 is inserted through an opening defined by the proximal end portion 511 of the housing 510 to movably dispose at least a portion of the plunger 570 within the inner volume 516 of the housing 510. In this manner, the plunger 570 can be moved between a first position, a second position, and a third position relative to the housing 510. Moreover, the plunger 570 includes a seal member 575 that forms a friction fit with an inner surface of the housing 510 that defines the inner volume 516. Thus, the seal member 575 and the housing 510 can form a fluidic seal that substantially isolates a portion of the inner volume 516 that is distal to the seal member 575 from a portion of the inner volume 516 that is proximal to the seal member 575. Furthermore, with the seal member 575 forming a substantially fluid tight seal with the inner surface of the housing 510, the seal member 575 of the plunger 570 and at least a portion of the housing 510 can collectively define a second reservoir 540, as described in further detail herein.

[0086] As shown in FIG. 14, the housing 510 can include a port 519 that is at least temporarily coupled to a portion of the adapter 538 of the cartridge assembly 530. For example, in some embodiments, the port 519 can be coupled to the portion of the adapter 538 via a threaded coupling, a press fit, a friction fit, a Luer Lok®, and/or any other suitable coupling. The port 519 can be moved between a first configuration (e.g., an open configuration, see FIG. 14) and a second configuration (e.g., a closed configuration, see e.g., FIG. 15) to selectively place the second reservoir 540 in fluid communication with the adapter 538. For example, the port 519 can include a valve or the like that can be moved between an open configuration and a closed configuration. Therefore, with the adapter 538 fluidically coupled to the first reservoir 531 of the cartridge assembly 530, the port 519 can selectively place the second reservoir 540 of the delivery device 500 in fluid communication with the first reservoir 531 of the cartridge assembly 530.

[0087] In use, an operator (e.g., a doctor, technician, nurse, physician, ophthalmologist, etc.) can manipulate the delivery device 500 to couple the cartridge assembly 530 thereto. For example, in some instances, the cartridge assembly 530 can be stored separately from the delivery device 500 (e.g., stored independently such that the adapter 538 is not coupled to the housing 510). In such instances, the port 519 can be in the second configuration when the delivery device 500 is stored. Thus, the sterility of the second reservoir 540 can be maintained prior to coupling the adapter 538 to the housing 510.

[0088] With the adapter 538 operably coupled to the housing 510 and the first reservoir 531, the port 519 can be in the first, open configuration, thereby placing the second reservoir 540 in fluid communication with the first reservoir 531. Once coupled, the user can manipulate the delivery device 500 by moving the plunger 570 from its first position (FIG. 14) relative to the housing 510 to its second position (FIG. 15) relative to the housing 510, as indicated by the arrow JJ in FIG. 15. The substantially fluid tight seal between the seal member 575 and the inner surface of the housing 510 can be such that the proximal movement (e.g., in the JJ direction) of the plunger 570 creates a negative pressure within the second reservoir 540. More specifically, the proximal movement of the plunger 570 increases the volume of the second reservoir 540, which, in turn, results in a negative pressure within the second reservoir 540. Therefore, with the first reservoir 531 fluidically coupled to the second reservoir 540, the negative pressure within the second reservoir 540 results in a suction force that draws at least a portion of the drug formulation from the first reservoir 531 through the adapter 538 and the port 519 to be disposed in the second reservoir 540. In this manner, the portion of the drug is conveyed into the second reservoir 540 by a path that excludes the puncture member 520.

[0089] In some instances, the flow of the drug from the first reservoir 531 to the second reservoir 540 can be metered such that a desired volume of the drug is disposed within the second reservoir 540. For example, in some embodiments, the housing 510 can include a volumetric indicator 546 or the like. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the volumetric indicator 546 can be a set of markings (e.g., lines, tick marks, hash marks, dots, etc.) that can be associated with a fill volume of the second reservoir 540. In this manner, the operator can monitor the volumetric indicator 546 as the drug flows into the second reservoir 540 and, in some instances, limit the amount of the drug that is transferred to the second reservoir 540. In other instances, substantially the entire volume of the drug can flow from the first reservoir 531 to the second reservoir 540. With the desired volume of the drug formulation disposed within the second reservoir 540, the adapter 538 can be decoupled from the port 519. In this manner, the port 519 can move from the first, open configuration to the second, closed configuration, thereby moving the delivery device 500 from the first configuration (FIG. 14) to the second configuration (FIG. 15).

[0090] With the delivery device 500 in the second configuration, the operator can manipulate the delivery device 500 to insert the puncture member 520 into, for example, ocular tissue. In some embodiments, the length of the puncture member 520 can at least partially correspond with the ocular tissue such that when inserted into the eye, the distal end portion 522 of the puncture member 520 is disposed within the suprachoroidal space and the lumen is placed in fluid communication therewith. More specifically, the distal end portion 522 of the puncture member 520 pierces the sclera of the eye and is disposed within the sclera and/or the suprachoroidal space without substantially piercing the choroid of the eye (see e.g., FIG. 1 for anatomical context).

[0091] Once the puncture member 520 is disposed within the target ocular tissue, the delivery device 500 can be moved from the second configuration (FIG. 15) to the third configuration (FIG. 16). For example, the user can exert a force on the plunger 570 to move the plunger 570 from its second position relative to the housing 510 to its third position relative to the housing 510, as indicated by the arrow KK in FIG. 16. With the lumen of the puncture member 520 in fluid communication with the second reservoir 540 and with the port 519 in the second, closed configuration, the distal movement (e.g., in the KK direction) of the plunger 570 from its second position to its third position expels the drug formulation (contained within the second reservoir 540, as described above) through the lumen of the puncture member 520. Thus, the delivery device 500 can deliver a desired volume of a drug formulation to the suprachoroidal space of the eye and the drug formulation can flow within the suprachoroidal space to be delivered to, for example, the posterior region of the eye.

[0092] The embodiments described herein can be formed or constructed of one or more biocompatible materials. Examples of suitable biocompatible materials include metals, glasses, ceramics, or polymers. Examples of suitable metals include pharmaceutical grade stainless steel, gold, titanium, nickel, iron, platinum, tin, chromium, copper, and alloys thereof. The polymer may be biodegradable or non-biodegradable. Examples of suitable biodegradable polymers include polylactides, polyglycolides, polylactide-co-glycolides (PLGA), polyanhydrides, polyorthoesters, polyetheresters, polycaprolactones, polyesteramides, poly(butyric acid), poly(valeric acid), polyurethanes and copolymers and blends thereof. Examples of non-biodegradable polymers include nylons, polyesters, polycarbonates, polyacrylates, polymers of ethylene-vinyl acetates and other acyl substituted cellulose acetates, non-degradable polyurethanes, polystyrenes, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, poly(vinyl imidazole), chiorosulphonate polyolefins, polyethylene oxide, blends and copolymers thereof.

[0093] As described above, the puncture members 220, 320, 420, and 520, can be, for example, microneedles. Such microneedles can be fabricated by a variety of methods. For example, in some embodiments, the hollow microneedle, is fabricated using a laser or similar optical energy source. In one example, a microcannula may be cut using a laser to represent the desired microneedle length. The laser may also be use to shape single or multiple tip openings. Single or multiple cuts may be performed on a single microncannula to shape the desired microneedle structure, in one example, the microcannula may be made of metal such as stainless steel and cut using a laser with a wavelength in the infrared region of the light spectrum (0.7-300 μm). Further refinement may be performed using metal electropolishing techniques familiar to those in the field. In another embodiment, the microneedle length and optional bevel is formed by a physical grinding process, which for example may include grinding a metal cannula against a moving abrasive surface. The fabrication process may further include precision grinding, micro-bead jet blasting and ultrasonic cleaning to form the shape of the desired precise tip of the microneedle.

[0094] A wide range of ocular diseases and disorders may be treated by the methods and devices described herein. Non-limiting examples of ocular diseases include uveitis, glaucoma, diabetic macular edema or retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinoblastoma, and genetic diseases. The methods described herein are particularly useful for the local delivery of drugs that need to be administered to the posterior region of the eye, for example the retinochoroidal tissue, macula, and optic nerve in the posterior segment of the eye. In one embodiment, the delivery methods and devices described herein may be used in gene-based therapy applications. For example, the methods may administer a fluid drug formulation into the suprachoroidal space to deliver select DNA, RNA, or oligonucleotides to targeted ocular tissues,

[0095] The microneedles can be used to target delivery to specific tissues or regions within the eye or in neighboring tissue. In various embodiments, the methods may be designed for drug delivery specifically to the sclera, the choroid, the Bruch's membrane, the retinal pigment epithelium, the subretinal space, the retina, the macula, the optic disk, the optic nerve, the ciliary body, the trabecular meshwork, the aqueous humor, the vitreous humor, and other ocular tissue or neighboring tissue in need of treatment.

[0096] A wide range of drugs may be formulated for delivery to ocular tissues using the present systems and devices described herein. Moreover, any of the delivery devices and/or methods described herein can involve, include and/or contain any of the drugs described herein. For example, in some embodiments, the medicament containment chamber 1310, 2310, 3310, or any other medicament containment chamber can contain any of the drugs and/or formulations described herein. As used herein, the term “drug” refers to any prophylactic, therapeutic, or diagnostic agent (e.g., a contrast agent). The drug may be selected from suitable proteins, peptides and fragments thereof, which can be naturally occurring, synthesized or recombinantly produced. Representative examples of types of drugs for delivery to ocular tissues include antibodies, anti-viral agents, chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., topoisomerase inhibitors), analgesics, anesthetics, aptamers, antihistamines, anti-inflammatory agents, and anti-neoplastic agents. In one embodiment, the drug is triamcinolone or triamcinolone acetonide.

[0097] The term “antibody” is intended to refer broadly to any immunologic binding agent such as IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE. An antibody can be monoclonal or polyclonal, and in one embodiment, is a humanized antibody. The term “antibody” is also used to refer to any antibody-like molecule that has an antigen binding region, and includes antibody fragments such as Fab′, Fab, F(ab′)², single domain antibodies (DABs), Fv, scFv (single chain Fv), and engineering multivalent antibody fragments such as dibodies, tribodies and multibodies. The techniques for preparing and using various antibody-based constructs and fragments are well known in the art (see, e.g., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988; incorporated herein by reference).

Accordingly, the methods described herein include administrating via IVT one or more of the drugs listed above in combination with one or more drugs disclosed herein administered into the suprachoroidal space using the microneedle device described herein.

[0114] In one embodiment, the drug is formulated for storage and delivery via the microneedle device described herein. The “drug formulation” is a formulation of a drug, which typically includes one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipient materials known in the art. The term “excipient” refers to any non-active ingredient of the formulation intended to facilitate handling, stability, dispersibility, wettability, release kinetics, and/or injection of the drug. In one embodiment, the excipient may include or consist of water or saline.

[0115] In one embodiment, the fluid drug formulation includes microparticles or nanoparticles, each of which can include at least one drug. Desirably, the microparticles or nanoparticles provide for the controlled release of drug into the ocular tissue. As used herein, the term “microparticle” encompasses microspheres, microcapsules, microparticles, and beads, having a number average diameter of 1 to 100 μm, most preferably 1 to 25 μm. The term “nanoparticles” are particles having a number average diameter of 1 to 1000 nm. Microparticles may or may not be spherical in shape. “Microcapsules” are defined as microparticles having an outer shell surrounding a core of another material. The core can be liquid, gel, solid, gas, or a combination thereof. In one case, the microcapsule may be a “microbubble” having an outer shell surrounding a core of gas, wherein the drug is disposed on the surface of the outer shell, in the outer shell itself, or in the core. Microbubbles may respond to acoustic vibrations as known in the art for diagnosis and/or can be used to burst the microbubble to release its payload afinto a select ocular tissue site. “Microspheres” can be solid spheres, can be porous and include a sponge-like or honeycomb structure formed by pores or voids in a matrix material or shell, or can include multiple discrete voids in a matrix material or shell. The microparticle or nanoparticles may further include a matrix material. The shell or matrix material may be a polymer, amino acid, saccharride, or other material known in the art of microencapsulation.

[0116] The drug-containing microparticles or nanoparticles may be suspended in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid vehicle. The liquid vehicle may be a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous solution, and optionally may further include a surfactant. The microparticles or nanoparticles of drug themselves may include an excipient material, such as a polymer, a polysaccharide, a surfactant, etc. which are known in the art to control the kinetics of drug release from particles.

[0117] In one embodiment, the fluid drug formulation further includes an agent effective to degrade collagen or GAG fibers in the sclera, which may enhance penetration/release of the drug into the ocular tissues. This agent may be, for example, an enzyme, such a hyaluronidase, a collagenase, or a combination thereof. In a variation of this method, the enzyme is administered to the ocular tissue in a separate step from—preceding or following—infusion of the drug. The enzyme and drug are administered at the same site.

[0118] In another embodiment, the drug formulation is one that undergoes a phase change upon administration. For instance, a liquid drug formulation may be injected through hollow microneedles into the suprachoroidal space, where it then gels and the drug diffuses out from the gel for controlled release.

[0119] While the embodiments and methods herein describe delivering a medicament to a target tissue, the embodiments described herein can be configured to facilitate a biopsy procedure. For example, in some embodiments, a micror3eedie can be inserted into the vitreous of an eye to core a target tissue such as, for example, a tumor. Current biopsy technique includes creation of a sclera flap and suturing the flap, two procedures that put the eye at risk for perforation and tumor seeding. Tumor seeding during fine needle aspiration biopsy of the tumor has been shown to occur experimentally and in clinical practice with commercially available 27-gauge needles and 30-gauge needles and methods currently available. This tumor seeding increases the risk for metastasis and mortality from the tumor. The embodiments described herein overcome this risk by providing a hollow microneedle with a smaller diameter that prohibits cells growing from inside the needle track. Moreover, by adjusting the length of the microneedle a tumor can be cored without the risk of seeding adjacent tissue structures posterior to the tumor.

[0120] Although the systems and methods are shown and described herein as providing for delivery of medicaments in the suprachoroidal space, in other embodiments, the systems and the methods described herein can be applicable for delivery of any suitable therapeutic substance to any portion of the eye, such as, the cornea, the retinal area or the vitreous. In other embodiments, any of the systems, methods and devices described herein can be used to deliver any suitable therapeutic substance to any desired target tissue (including non-ocular tissue).

[0121] While various embodiments have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation. Where methods described above indicate certain events occurring in certain order, the ordering of certain events may be modified. Additionally, certain of the events may be performed concurrently in a parallel process when possible, as well as performed sequentially as described above. For example, although the puncture member 320 is described with reference to FIGS. 8-10 as being inserted into ocular tissue prior to the delivery device 300 being moved to the second configuration, in some instances, the delivery device 300 can be moved to the second configuration (FIG. 9) prior to the insertion of the puncture member 320. In some instances, this arrangement can provide for better visualization of the volumetric indicator 346 to ascertain the volume of the drug formulation transferred from the first reservoir 331 to the second reservoir 340.

[0122] Where schematics and/or embodiments described above indicate certain components arranged in certain orientations or positions, the arrangement of components may be modified. Similarly, where methods and/or events described above indicate certain events and/or procedures occurring in certain order, the ordering of certain events and/or procedures may be modified. While the embodiments have been particularly shown and described, it will be understood that various changes in form and details may be made.

[0123] Although various embodiments have been described as having particular features and/or combinations of components, other embodiments are possible having a combination of any features and/or components from any of embodiments as discussed above. For example, although not shown, any of the embodiments described herein can include a safety tab or the like that can be substantially similar in form and/or function as the safety tab 390 included in the delivery device 300 of FIGS. 8-10.
