CoStar™ Cobalt Chromium Stent Bridge Elements Reservoirs with Bioresorbable Polymers Ductile Hinges
Reservoir Based Drug Delivery Reservoirs are: • Non Deforming – materials versatility • Deep – structure and directionality • Protective – against mechanical and biochemical damage • Minimize tissue/polymer contact area Programmable Loading: Multiple Drugs with Independent Release Kinetics and Directions
Pimecrolimus Eluting Stent • Inflammation is thought to play a central role in restenosis • Pimecrolimus is a potent anti-inflamatory agent (but not an MTOR inhibitor) • A Dual Release-Mode Inlay was developed • Higher drug release rate in first several days (peak inflamatory response period) • Lower rate, linear release over extended period • 100% resorption of both drug and polymer
Dual Drug Program: Combine 2 Agents for Restenosis Prevention • Attack different pathways, e.g.: • Anti-inflammatory (pimecrolimus) • Anti-mitotic (paclitaxel) • Completely independent dose and release kinetics • Different polymers and formulations • PTX: 11 μg, extended release • PLS: 160 μg, dual release-mode • Complete resorption of all drugs and polymers (late thrombosis)
Dual Pimecrolimus / Paclitaxel Eluting Stent Paclitaxel Pimecrolimus 160 μg Pimecrolimus and 11 μg Paclitaxel
The Genesis Trial • Both the Pimecrolimus Eluting stent and the Dual paclitaxel / pimecrolimus eluting stent will be evaluated in Conor’s upcoming Genesis clinical trial

Target Insulin Release Kinetics • Target Insulin doses and release rates were estimated from infusion rates reported in the ECLA GIK pilot studies.
More complex inlays for combinations of water soluble and lipid soluble drugs • Hydrophobic outer layers to control direction and rate of insulin release • Discrete Hydrophilic inner matrix forms protective microenvironment for insulin • Lipophilic Pimecrolimus inlay added to mural side as anti-restenotic agent • Pre-clinical research program is underway Insulin Pimecrolimus Insulin
Drug Eluting, Absorbable Metal Stent • An effective, bio-absorbable stent that “disappears,” leaving a healthy artery is a sought after device. • Biotronik has developed a bio-absorbable magnesium alloy for use in stenting • Surface Coatings may interfere with the metal resorption process • Migration of stent degradation biproducts through a coating may harm drug • A “Conorized” Reservoir based AMS is under development for drug delivery
AMS-1 Release Kinetics in Plasma Total drug load = 440 µg
Conclusion • Programmable, Reservoir based DES systems provide potential opportunities to improve efficacy and to expand indications for DES • The combination of fully erodable polymers with new classes of drugs and combinations of drugs can now be studied in clinical trials • DES indications ‘beyond restenosis’ are technically feasible and pre-clinical work is underway
