FORMULATIONS OF SITE-SPECIFIC, MICROPARTICULATE COMPOSITIONS AND THEIR USE TO IMPROVE OUTCOME AFTER ANEURYSMAL SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE

摘要

The described invention provides site-specfic sustained release microparticulate formulations containing a therapeutic amount of an L-type voltage gated calcium channel inhibitor, a PLGA polymer comprising from 25% to 50% glycolide, and a hyaluronic acid. A therapeutic amount of the formulation is effective to reduce signs or symptoms of delayed cerebral ischemia comprising one or more of a cortical spreading ischemia, a cortical spreading depolarization, a plurality of microthromboemboli, or an angiographic vasospasm after brain injury in a mammal, while reducing the risk of systemic hypotension, cardiac dysfunction, anoxia, and intracranial hypertension.
