This book offers a comprehensive overview of the technical, clinical, regulatory and industrial perspectives on drug delivery systems. Opening chapters describe the current needs and potential applications of implantable and long-acting therapeutic approaches. It goes on to describe established and novel long-acting systems, with a focus on the materials used to prepare these systems and their biocompatibility. Importantly, applied topics such as scale-up manufacturing, products under clinical trials and regulatory aspects are covered, offering the reader a holistic view of this rapidly growing field.
