Patent

CA 2361122

The invention provides devices, kits and methods for delivering an agent to a breast milk duct. Intraductal agent delivery provides an opportunity to treat a breast condition locally and avoid the pitfalls of systemic drug delivery for a local condition. Time-released agents delivered into the ducts using an intraductal device or formulation reduces the frequency of intraductal administration required for desired efficacy over time. The methods include methods of treating a breast condition, including the conditions of cancer or precancer.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs, des kits et des procédés pour l'administration d'agents aux canaux galactophores du sein. L'administration d'agents à l'intérieur des canaux permet de traiter localement une affection du sein et d'éviter les échecs de l'administration médicamenteuse systémique pour un traitement local. L'administration d'agents à libération prolongée dans les canaux via un dispositif ou une formulation intracanalaire permet de réduire la fréquence de l'administration intracanalaire requise pour obtenir l'efficacité souhaitée à terme. L'invention concerne entre autres des procédés permettant de traiter une affection du sein, y compris le cancer ou l'état précancéreux.
