SUSTAINED DELIVERY FORMULATIONS OF OCTREOTIDE COMPOUNDS

摘要

The present invention relates to an octreotide sustained release delivery system for treatment of diseases relating to somatotropin and/or somatostatin. The sustained release delivery system of the invention includes a flowable composition containing an octreotide compound, and an implant containing the octreotide compound. The flowable composition may be injected into tissue whereupon it coagulates to become the solid or gel, monolithic implant. The flowable composition includes a biodegradable, thermoplastic polymer, an organic liquid and an octreotide compound.
