Method for convection enhanced delivery of therapeutic agents

A method for monitoring and controlling convection enhanced delivery of a therapeutic agent to a target tissue is disclosed. A tracer that is detectable, for example, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and / or by X-ray computed tomography (CT) is co-infulsed with the therapeutic agent and used to monitor the distribution of the therapeutic agent as it moves through the target tissue. The images obtained during delivery are used to confirm delivery of the therapeutic agent to the target tissue and to avoid exposure of tissue outside of the targeted area to the therapeutic agent. In addition, the signal intensity of the images may be used to confirm that the therapeutic agent has been delivered to the target tissue at a desired concentration.

Ultrasound-assisted convection enhanced delivery of compounds in vivo with a transducer cannula assembly

A method for convection-enhanced delivery (CED) of compounds and an apparatus for use with the method are provided. The apparatus, an ultrasound transducer cannula assembly (TCA) apparatus, can be used for the delivery of a compound to a target in the body such as a cells, tissue or organ in a healthy or diseased state. The ultrasound TCA apparatus comprises a transducer cannula assembly (TCA) and an ultrasound system to enhance penetration of molecules in the target. The ultrasound system may be portable and pocket-sized. The inclusion of ultrasound in the apparatus improves the distribution volume of material four to six times over a convection-enhanced delivery system without ultrasound. Since the targeting can be more focused, less compound is needed, thus lowering the potential for harmful effects to the host and host cells.

Selective treatment of IL-13 expressing tumors

A method of treating tumors that express a receptor for IL-13 is disclosed. The method involves directly introducing into the tumor a cytotoxin that targets the IL-13 receptor. The cytotoxic agent can be introduced by convection-enhanced delivery through a suitable catheter or by other means. Where a convection-enhanced catheter is employed, the method involves positioning the tip of a catheter at least in close proximity to the tumor. After the catheter is positioned, it is connected to a pump which delivers the active agent through the catheter tip to the tumor. A pressure gradient from the tip of the catheter is maintained during infusion.

Adjustable stepped cannula

The use of stepped cannulas, wherein a step structure creates a backstop to reduce backflow along the cannula body, is known for convection enhanced delivery of agents to the brain and other structures within an animal. Described herein are novel and improved stepped cannula designs wherein the length of the cannula segment between the step and the dispensing outlet is variable and can be controllably adjusted inside the patient during delivery. This advantageously allows the operator to place the cannula step at the optimal position and deliver agents at one or more positions within the target structure.
