A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230390189A1) describes a sustained release biodegradable ocular implant designed to treat ocular diseases. The implant consists of a hydrogel with active agent particles dispersed within it, with a maximum length of 17 mm in its dry state. Notably, the active agent used in the implant is specified to not be a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, distinguishing it from other ocular treatments in the market.

The patent also outlines a method for treating ocular diseases by administering the sustained release biodegradable ocular implant to patients in need. This method involves the use of the hydrogel implant with active agent particles, as described in claim 1 of the patent. Additionally, the patent details a manufacturing process for the implant, which includes forming a hydrogel with a polymer network and dispersing active agent particles within it, shaping the hydrogel, and drying it to create the final product. These innovative methods and compositions described in the patent aim to provide a more effective and convenient treatment option for ocular diseases, potentially offering significant benefits to patients in need of such therapies.
