Gel Structure Stability Test During Delivery

Before and after injection through a simulated syringe protocol

Drug Delivery-6b

Conclusion:

  1. The structure stability of either AGO™ Gel or TRA Gel showed excellent stable condition before and after injection, which indicates drug released from the gel remained unchanged after operation;
  2. While stressing the gel in the syringe, the gel turned into a flowable liquid-like gel, flowed out the syringe and relocated into the host body (such as SC site). After removing the stress, the gel turned into a non-flowable solid-like gel in the host and continued to exercise drug release and gel degradation in the site of injection.
