Description
COATINGS FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES FOR CONTROLLED RELEASE OF A HYDROPHILIC DRUG AND A HYDROPHOBIC DRUG
BACKGROUND Field of the Invention
This invention is generally related to coatings containing cRGD for implantable medical devices, such as drug delivery vascular stents. Description of the State of the Art
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a procedure for treating heart disease. A catheter assembly having a balloon portion is introduced percutaneously into the cardiovascular system of a patient via the brachial or femoral artery. The catheter assembly is advanced through the coronary vasculature until the balloon portion is positioned across the occlusive lesion. Once in position across the lesion, the balloon is inflated to a predetermined size to radially compress the atherosclerotic plaque of the lesion to remodel the lumen wall. The balloon is then deflated to a smaller profile to allow the catheter to be withdrawn from the patient's vasculature. Problems associated with the above procedure include formation of intimal flaps or tom arterial linings which can collapse and occlude the blood conduit after the balloon is deflated. Moreover, thrombosis and restenosis of the artery may develop over several months after the procedure, which may require another angioplasty procedure or a surgical by-pass operation. To reduce the partial or total occlusion of the artery by the collapse of the arterial lining and to reduce the chance of thrombosis or restenosis, a stent is implanted in the artery to keep the artery open.
Drug delivery stents have reduced the incidence of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after PCI (see, e.g., Serruys, P. W., et al., J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 39:393-399 (2002)), which has plagued interventional cardiology for more than a decade. However, ISR still poses a significant problem given the large volume of coronary interventions and their expanding use. The pathophysiological mechanism of ISR involves interactions between the cellular and acellular elements of the vessel wall and the blood. Damage to the endothelium during PCI constitutes a major factor for the development of ISR (see, e.g., Kipshidze, N-, et al., J. Am. Coll. Cardiol.44:733-739 (2004)).
Further, in the art of drug delivery stent, it is often desirable that the stent is capable of concurrent release of a hydrophilic drug and a hydrophobic drug. However, the controlled release of a hydrophilic drug and a hydrophobic drug can be challenging due to the heterogeneous natures of the two types of drugs.
Therefore, there is a need for a coating for controlled and sustained release of an attractant for endothelial progenitor cells. There is a further need for a coating capable of controlled release of an agent capable of reducing the incidence of in-stent restenosis after PCI. There is a further need for a coating capable of controlled release of a hydrophilic drug and a hydrophobic drug.
The embodiments of the present invention address these concerns as well as others that are apparent to one having ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY
Provided herein is a coating capable of controlled release of a hydrophilic drug (e.g., cRGD peptide) and a hydrophobic drug such as an antiproliferative agent. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic drug is a cRGD peptide which can be attached to a coating while the hydrophobic drug is an antiproliferative agent such as everolimus.
In some embodiments, the present invention provides a coating having a construct capable of controlled release of a hydrophilic drug and a hydrophobic drug. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic drug can be included in a layer that includes a polymer having polar block(s) or segment(s). The hydrophobic drug can be included' in a layer that includes a hydrophobic polymer and the hydrophobic drug. In some embodiments, the layer containing the hydrophilic drug and the layer containing the hydrophobic drug can be separated with a sealant layer. The sealant layer can include a hydrophobic polymer such as hydrophobic acrylates or fluoropolymers. Preferably, the hydrophilic drug is a cRGD peptide and the hydrophobic drug is an antiproliferative agent such as everolimus. In some embodiments, the coating can further include a bioactive agent that is not the hydrophilic drug or the hydrophobic drug described above.
The coating can be formed on an implantable device such as a stent, which can be implanted in a patient to treat, prevent, mitigate, or reduce a vascular medical condition, or to provide a pro-healing effect. Examples of these conditions include atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage, vascular dissection or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque, chronic total occlusion, claudication, anastomotic proliferation (for vein and artificial grafts), bile duct obstruction, ureter obstruction, tumor obstruction, or combinations of these. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Provided herein is a coating capable of controlled release of a hydrophilic drug
(e.g., cRGD peptide) and a hydrophobic drug such as an antiproliferative agent. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic drug is a cRGD peptide which can be attached to a coating while the hydrophobic drug is an antiproliferative agent such as everolimus. cRGD is a hydrophilic chemo-attractant for endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). The anti- proliferative such as everolimus can reduce the incidence of resteonosis.
In some embodiments, the present invention provides a coating having a construct capable of controlled release of a hydrophilic drug and a hydrophobic drug. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic drug can be included in a layer that includes a polymer having polar block(s) or segment(s). The hydrophobic drug can be included in a layer that includes a hydrophobic polymer and the hydrophobic drug. In some embodiments, the layer containing the hydrophilic drug and the layer containing the hydrophobic drug can be separated with a sealant layer. The sealant layer can include a hydrophobic polymer such as hydrophobic acrylates or fluoropolymers. Preferably, the hydrophilic drug is a cRGD peptide and the hydrophobic drug is an anti-proliferative agent such as everolimus. In some embodiments, the coating can further include a bioactive agent that is not the hydrophilic drug or the hydrophobic drug described above.
The term "cRGD peptide" includes any proteins or peptides that comprise cRGD. cRGD stands for cyclic RGD. The RGD (tri-peptide) sequence can be found in numerous proteins and extra-cellular matrix, as well as in short peptides whether they are linear, cyclic, free or linked. The nature of the adjacent peptides and the structure of the molecule may be critical for efficacy. Therefore, the term "cRGD" can be used interchangeably with the term "RGD peptide." In some embodiments, the cRGD peptide includes cRGD peptide mimetics.
The term "anti-proliferative" as used herein, refers to an agent that works to block the proliferative phase of acute cellular rejection. Examples of anti-proliferative agents include rapamycin and its functional or structural derivatives, 40-O-(2-hydroxy)ethyl- rapamycin (everolimus), and its functional or structural derivatives, paclitaxel and its functional and structural derivatives. Examples of rapamycin derivatives include ABT- 578, 40-O-(3-hydroxy)propyl-rapamycin, 40-O-[2-(2-hydroxy)ethoxy]ethyl-rapamycin,
and 40-C?-tetrazole-rapamycin. Examples of paclitaxel derivatives include docetaxel. The antiproliferatives described herein are generally hydrophobic.
The coating described herein can be formed on a medical device for treating, preventing, or ameliorating a medical condition such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage, vascular dissection or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque, chronic total occlusion, claudication, anastomotic proliferation (for vein and artificial grafts), bile duct obstruction, ureter obstruction, tumor obstruction, or combinations of these.
Attaching a hydrophilic drug to a coating In some embodiments, a hydrophilic drug (e.g., a cRGD peptide) can be attached to the coating via a spacer, which can be degradable or durable. In some embodiments, the spacer is a degradable spacer. A degradable spacer is one that can be hydrolytically or enzymetically degraded in vivo. Such a degradable spacer can have, e.g., an ester linking group or another group such as a thiol or an amide. Where the spacer or linker of a cRGD to a coating is degradable (e.g., by degradation by hydrolysis or proteolysis or by enzymatic degradation), the degradation of this linkage or spacer can dictate the release rate of the hydrophilic drug (e.g., a cRGD peptide). An example of the degradable linkage is an ester bond. An example of the hyodrphilic drug is a cRGD peptide. An example of the hydrophobic drug is an antiproliferative agent such as everolimus. In some embodiments, a coating can contain functional groups that allow the attachment of a hydrophilic drug to the coating. For example, the functional group can include groups capable of forming ester bonds with a linker or spacer attached to the hydrophilic drug. In these embodiments, the topcoat shall have sufficient density of the functional groups to allow sufficient amount of the hydrophilic drug (e.g., a cRGD peptide) to attach to the coating. Where the hydrophilic drug is a cRGD peptide, the drug load
requirement in the coating is the amount sufficient for recruiting endothelial progenitor cells.
The attachment of a hydrophilic drug such as a cRGD peptide to the coating can be achieved via two mechanisms. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic drug can be attached to a polymer via a spacer or linker. The polymer with the hydrophilic drug attached thereto can then be sprayed onto a medical device. In some embodiment, the hydrophilic drug can be attached to a polymer coating so as to generate a coating with hydrophilic drug attached thereto, which sometimes can be referred to as surface treatment of the coating. The attachment of a hydrophilic drug (e.g., a cRGD peptide) to a polymer (a free polymer or a polymer in a coating) having functional groups via established procedures in the art of organic synthesis (see, for example, Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations: A Guide to Functional Group Preparations, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Copyright 1999). For example, in some embodiments, the polymer can have hydroxyl groups, which can form an ester bond with a carboxylic group of hydrophilic drug or a carboxylic group on a linker or spacer molecule. In some embodiments, the polymer can have carboxylic groups, which can form ester bonds with hydroxyl groups on a linker or spacer molecule.
In some other embodiments, the attachment of a hydrophilic drug can be achieved via forming an imine Schiff base. For example, a polymer can be modified to have linkers or spacers having a CHO, which can form the imine Schiff base with the amine group on a hydrophilic drug. The imine Schiff base is hydrolytically unstable and can release the hydrophilic drug under in vivo conditions.
In some embodiments, the polymer can be modified to include a linker or spacer having a CHO or keto group, while the hydrophilic drug can be modified to include a
spacer/linker having a hydroxyl group(s). The attachment of a hydrophilic drug to a polymer can be achieved via forming an acetal or hemi-acetal by reaction of the aldehyde or keto group with the hydroxyl group(s). The acetal or hemi-acetal can undergo hydrolysis under in vivo conditions to release the hydrophilic drug. In some embodiments, a hydrophilic drug can be attached to a polymer (a free polymer or polymer in a coating) via DCC or EDC chemistry, which is well documented in the art of solid phase peptide chemistry (see, e.g., Grabarek, Z. and Gergely, J. Anal. Biochem. 185:131-135 (1990); Adessi, et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 28(20): e87 (2000)). The hydrophilic drug thus attached can be released upon hydrolytic degradation of the linkage.
Linkers
In some embodiments, the chemo-attractant can be attached to a polymer matrix via a labile linker or via physical interactions such as interpenetrating networks. The labile linker can be a linker sensitive to a stimulus. For example, the linker can be a hydrolytically degradable linker or an enzymetically degradable linker.
Hydrolytically degradable linkers can degrade under physiological conditions in the presence of water. In other words, the stimulus for a hydrolytically degradable linker is the presence of water. A hydrolytically degradable linker can link the chemo-attractant and the polymer via the linker's reactive groups. For example, in some embodiments, the linker can be an amino acid group that includes amino, thiol, and/or carboxylic groups. Some exemplary strategies for forming hydrolytically degradable linkers include: (1) ε- Amino group of lysine (which can be integrated into a polymer) and α-amino group of a protein. The amine can be on the polymer backbone (with or without a spacer, e.g., PEG, or an alkyl chain). This can yield an amide, thiourea, alkylamine or urethane linkage. (2) Thiol group or a free cysteine,, which forms a thioether linkage.
(3) Thiol group on a cysteine, which can be conjugated with vinylsulfone (R-SO2-
CH=CH2).
(4) Carboxylic acid groups on the aspartic and glutamic acid.
Some examples of hydrolytically degradable linkages include amide linkages that can be generated by reacting an amine group with succinate esters such as N- hydroxysuccinimide (ISfHS), thiol linkages such as disulfide (R-L1-S-S-L2-R') where the length of the linker Ll and L2 control the hydrolization, or ester bonds formed by coupling the peptide's carboxylic end with a hydroxyl on the polymer backbone (with or without a spacer, e.g., PEG, or an alkyl chain). Esterification can be carried out using established methods in the art (e.g., carbodiimide chemistry in the presence of l-ethyl-3-(3- dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC)).
Enzymetically degradable linkers/linkages can be degraded by an enzyme, often to target a specific area of the body or organ. In other words, the stimulus for an enzymetically degradable linker is the presence of an enzyme. For example, a specific dipeptide sequence can be incorporated into the linker, which can be cleaved by an enzyme. Some examples of enzymetically degradable linkers or linkages include, but are not limited to, self-immolative p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PABC) spacer between the dipeptide and the polymer, dipeptides such as phenylaniline-lysine and valine-cysteine, or PEG/dipeptide linkages such as alanyl-valine, alanyl-proline and glycyl-proline. Some other linker/linkages can be found at "Biodegradable Polymers for Protein and Peptide Drug Delivery" Bioconjugate Chem. 1995, 6:332-351; M.P. Lutolf and J.A. Hubbell, Biomacromolecules 2003, 4:713-722; and U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10/871,658. Some additional representative linking chemistry is described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10/871,658, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Coating construct
In some embodiments, a coating can have a construct that allows it to have a controlled release of hydrophilic drug (e.g., a cRGD peptide) and a hydrophobic drug (e.g., an antiproliferative agent (e.g., everolimus). The coating can include the hydrophilic drug and the hydrophobic drug in different layer of the coating.
In some embodiments, a base layer of coating can include a polymer with a polar block or segment and a hydrophilic drug and another layer of coating (e.g., a topcoat) can include a hydrophobic drug and a hydrophobic polymer. Examples of the polymer with a polar block or segment can be, but are not limited to, poly(urethane), poly(HEMA-block- MMA)3 ρoly(HEMA-block-HPMA), poly(HPMA-GFLG), poly(butyl methacrylate-co- ethylene glycol acrylate) (poly(BMA-block-PEGA)) or poly(MOEMA-block-HEMA). MOEMA is short for methoxyethyl methacrylate. HEMA is short for hydroxylethyl methacrylate. MMA is short for methyl methacrylate, HPMA is short for hydroxylpropyl methacrylate. HPMA-GFLG is HPMA terminated with the peptide sequence GFLG (glycine-pheylaniline-leucine-glycine) which is used as a linker. Examples of hydrophobic polymer include, but are not limited to, polymers or copolymers of vinyl monomers, and polymers or copolymers of fluorinated olefin (e.g., Solef™ polymers). In some embodiments, the hydrophobic polymer can also include a small percentage of units derived from a small percentage of a hydrophilic monomer. Some examples of such polymers include, but are not limited to, poly(MOEMA-HEMA) and poly(MOEMA-
PEGA) with low percentage of HEMA or PEGA (e.g., <10 mol%). In these polymers, the hydrophobic portion of the polymer can control the release of everolimus while the small percentage units derived from a hydrophilic monomer can allow for slow release of cRGD. The coating construct of these embodiments can be applied to any medical devices where the release of a hydrophobic drug and a hydrophilic drug must be achieved
concurrently. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic drug is cRGD and the hydrophobic drug is an antiproliferative agent such as everolimus. The release rate profile of the cRGD peptide with a burst will match the mechanistic temporal need for activation of EPC capture process. The long term release of the cRGD peptide at low doses can maintain the recruiting of EPCs and continue to affect the surrounding endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. In addition, the burst of release can be controlled by decreasing or increasing the thickness of the topcoat, by using a sealant between the two layers, or by lowering the D:P in the cRGD peptide containing layer.
Ih some embodiments, the hydrophilic drug is a cRGD peptide and the hydrophobic drug is an antiproliferative agent such as everolimus. The cRGD can be included in a topcoat of the coating while the antiproliferative agent can be included in the base layer (aka reservoir layer). For example, the topcoat can be formed on top of an intermediate sealant-coat comprising a hydrophobic polymer (e.g., an acrylate or fluoropolymer). The reservoir layer can include everolimus. The coating construct of these embodiments can allow the everolimus and the cRGD to release from the coating at two different timescales. Note, the coating can also include a cRGD attached to a polymer in the reservoir layer such that the coating can provide a burst release of the cRGD peptide and a sustained release of the cRGD peptide. The release profile of cRGD peptide with a burst can match the mechanistic temporal need for activation of EPC capture process. The sustained release of the cRGD peptide can maintain the recruiting of EPCs and continue to affect the surrounding endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells.
In some embodiments, a coating can have a construct that has cRGD in the reservoir layer and an anti-proliferative agent (e.g., everolimus) in the topcoat. The construct may or may not have a sealant layer, depending on the targeted release of cRGD and/or everolimus from the coating.

The foregoing substances are listed by way of example and are not meant to be limiting. Other active agents which are currently available or that may be developed in the future are equally applicable.
The dosage or concentration of the bioactive agent required to produce a favorable therapeutic effect should be less than the level at which the bioactive agent produces toxic effects and greater than the level at which non-therapeutic results are obtained. The dosage or concentration of the bioactive agent can depend upon factors such as the
particular circumstances of the patient, the nature of the trauma, the nature of the therapy desired, the time over which the ingredient administered resides at the vascular site, and if other active agents are employed, the nature and type of the substance or combination of substances. Therapeutically effective dosages can be determined empirically, for example by infusing vessels from suitable animal model systems and using immunohistochemical, fluorescent or electron microscopy methods to detect the agent and its effects, or by conducting suitable in vitro studies. Standard pharmacological test procedures to determine dosages are understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

Devices made from bioabsorbable or biostable
polymers could also be used with the embodiments of the present invention. The device can be, for example, a bioabsorbable stent.
Method of Use
In accordance with embodiments of the invention, the coating according to the present invention can be included in an implantable device or prosthesis, e.g., a stent. For a device including one or more active agents, the agent will retain on the device such as a stent during delivery and expansion of the device, and released at a desired rate and for a predetermined duration of time at the site of implantation.
Preferably, the device is a stent. The stent described herein is useful for a variety of medical procedures, including, by way of example, treatment of obstructions caused by tumors in the bile ducts, esophagus, trachea/bronchi and other biological passageways. A stent having the above-described coating is particularly useful for treating occluded regions of blood vessels caused by abnormal or inappropriate migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells, thrombosis, and restenosis. Stents may be placed in a wide array of blood vessels, both arteries and veins. Representative examples of sites include the iliac, renal, and coronary arteries.
For implantation of a stent, an angiogram is first performed to determine the appropriate positioning for stent therapy. An angiogram is typically accomplished by injecting a radiopaque contrasting agent through a catheter inserted into an artery or vein as an x-ray is taken. A guidewire is then advanced through the lesion or proposed site of treatment. Over the guidewire is passed a delivery catheter that allows a stent in its collapsed configuration to be inserted into the passageway. The delivery catheter is inserted either percutaneously or by surgery into the femoral artery, brachial artery, femoral vein, or brachial vein, and advanced into the appropriate blood vessel by steering the catheter through the vascular system under fluoroscopic guidance. A stent having the
above-described coating may then be expanded at the desired area of treatment. A post- insertion angiogram may also be utilized to confirm appropriate positioning.
Examples Example 1. Coating constructs for concurrent release of cRGD and everoliπras A coating construct according to the present invention can be formed according to the following configuration on a 18 mm Vision stent (available from Guidant Corporation, Santa Clara, CA):
Primer: 85 μg of PBMA;
Drug matrix: 595 μg of Biospan™, which is segmented polyurethane, and cRGD with a drug (cRGD)/poIymer ratio (D:P) of 1 :6;
Topcoat: 259 μg of Solef™ and everolimus (D:P = 1:4.9). In this example, the somewhat polar polyurethane backbone allows the polyurethane and the cRGD to dissolve in an organic solvent and then spray-coat onto a stent The Solei™ layer controls the release of both cRGD and everolimus. The D:P ratios and the coating thicknesses can be adjusted to reach the appropriate release rates and doses for each of the two drugs. The polar polyurethane can be replaced with other polymers with polar blocks such as methacrylate block copolymers. Some examples of methacrylate block copolymers include, but are not limited to, poly(HEMA-block-MMA), poly(HEM A-block-HPMA), poly(HPMA-GFLG), ρoly(BMA-block-PEGA), or poly(MOEMA-block-HEMA).
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications can be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects. Therefore, the . appended claims are to encompass within their scope all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
