DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our long term goal is to widespread the use of PPF technology for promoting effective production of drug-encapsulating microparticles with uniform size and physical characteristics that can be leveraged to release a specific drug at controlled rates over multi-day periods in vivo after a single administration. For this proposal, we are specifically targeting a cost and dose-effective management of chronic pain with precisely tailored drug release characteristics. Chronic pain afflicts a large population in United States. Extended release formulations of safer (unscheduled) opioids can improve patient compliance and drug efficacy, and can limit the possibility of breakthrough pain, all without putting the patients at the risk of addiction. However, existing extended release opioid formulations are insufficient, and are limited to providing relief up to a maximum of 24 h. Using tramadol, an unscheduled opioid, this project aims to create a long-acting (up to 5-day) tramadol formulation in an injectable form to enhance pain relief and fill a critical innovation gap in the pharmaceutical market. The specific objective of this application is to optimize tramadol-loaded microspheres produced by PPF technology with a 5 day zero-order drug release profiles, imitating a constant infusion pump-like dosing (Specific Aim 1), and validate the results achieved with extended release formulations of tramadol in vivo (Specific Aim 2). Our overall hypothesis is that extended pain management therapy developed using uniform microspheres produced by PPF technology will offer a cost and dose-effective management of chronic pain with precisely tailored drug release characteristics, which will provide a more controlled and predictable drug release compared to tramadol-loaded microspheres fabricated using conventional methods, and significantly improve controlled release characteristics compared to contemporary commercially-available sustained-release pain management products (e.g., ULTRAM(R)). Multi-day chronic pain management therapy holds the potential to provide a revolutionary alternative for pain management. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Chronic pain afflicts a large population in United States. Extended release formulations of safer (unscheduled) opioids can improve patient compliance and drug efficacy, and can limit the possibility of breakthrough pain, all without putting the patients at the risk of addiction. However, existing extended release opioid formulations are insufficient, and are limited to providing relief up to a maximum of 24 h. Using tramadol, an unscheduled opioid, this project aims to create a long- acting (up to 5-day) tramadol formulation in an injectable form to enhance pain relief and fill a critical innovation gap in the pharmaceutical market.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的长期目标是广泛使用PPF技术来促进具有均匀尺寸和物理特性的药物包封微粒的有效生产，所述微粒可被利用以在单次给药后在体内多日期间内以受控速率释放特定药物。对于这项提案，我们专门针对具有精确定制的药物释放特性的慢性疼痛的成本和剂量有效的管理。慢性疼痛困扰着美国的大量人口。更安全（非计划性）阿片类药物的缓释制剂可以提高患者的依从性和药物疗效，并可以限制突破性疼痛的可能性，所有这些都不会使患者面临成瘾的风险。然而，现有的延长释放阿片样物质制剂是不够的，并且限于提供最多24小时的缓解。该项目使用曲马多（一种非计划性阿片类药物），旨在以注射形式创造一种长效（长达5天）曲马多制剂，以增强疼痛缓解并填补制药市场的关键创新空白。本申请的具体目的是优化通过PPF技术生产的负载曲马多的微球，其具有5天零级药物释放曲线，模仿恒定输注泵样给药（具体目的1），并验证在体内用曲马多的缓释制剂获得的结果（具体目的2）。我们的总体假设是，使用PPF技术生产的均匀微球开发的延长疼痛管理疗法将提供具有精确定制的药物释放特性的慢性疼痛的成本和剂量有效的管理，与使用常规方法制造的曲马多负载微球相比，这将提供更可控和可预测的药物释放，并且与目前市售的持续释放疼痛控制产品（例如，ULTRAM（R））。多日慢性疼痛管理疗法有可能为疼痛管理提供革命性的替代方案。 公共卫生相关性：慢性疼痛困扰着美国的大量人口。更安全（非计划性）阿片类药物的缓释制剂可以提高患者的依从性和药物疗效，并可以限制突破性疼痛的可能性，所有这些都不会使患者面临成瘾的风险。然而，现有的延长释放阿片样物质制剂是不够的，并且限于提供最多24小时的缓解。使用曲马多，一种非计划性阿片类药物，该项目旨在以注射形式创造一种长效（长达5天）曲马多制剂，以增强疼痛缓解，填补制药市场的一个关键创新空白。
