Submucosal implantable drug delivery apparatuses, systems, and methods

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods of continuous delivery of therapeutic agents. The apparatuses provide an implantable device that can be implanted in a nasal region of a subject to enable continuous administration of a therapeutic agent to the central nervous system (CNS) of the subject. The implantable device for drug delivery can include a distal body having a wall extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a lumen extending therethrough in a longitudinal direction. The distal body can include one or more apertures in fluid communication with the lumen and located along the wall, and a pair of support members protruding from the body in a transverse direction and extending along the body in the longitudinal direction. The support members can be separated by a gap distance that extends along in the longitudinal direction.
