CoStar ™ Cobalt Chromium Stent Bridge Elements Reservoirs with Bioresorbable Polymers Ductile Hinges
4
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
5
Reservoir Mapping and Filling Process
6
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
7
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)
8
Dual Pimecrolimus / Paclitaxel Eluting Stent Paclitaxel Pimecrolimus 160 μg Pimecrolimus and 11 μg Paclitaxel
9
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
10
Insulin Eluting Acute MI Stent (AMI) Controlled luminal release of a water-soluble drug

Mural Drug Elution For Restenosis +Luminal Drug Elution For Myocardium Vascular Drug Delivery – Acute MI Myocardial Preservation DrugDelivery
12
Target Insulin Release Kinetics Target Insulin doses and release rates were estimated from infusion rates reported in the ECLA GIK pilot studies.
13
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
14
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

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
