## Abstract

An injectable composition for delivering a therapeutic agent is provided. The injectable composition includes one or more polymers including a poly ortho ester (POE) polymer. The POE polymer has a Tg of between about −10° C. and 110° C. as determined in accordance with ASTM E1640-18. The injectable composition also includes one or more solvents and one or more therapeutic agents. The one or more therapeutic agents includes a basic therapeutic agent. Methods for treating a condition in a patient are also provided.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An injectable flowable composition for delivery of one or more therapeutic agents, comprising:
one or more polymers comprising a first poly ortho ester (POE) polymer wherein the first POE polymer has a Tg of between about −10° C. and 110° C. as determined in accordance with ASTM E1640-18;
one or more solvents; and
one or more therapeutic agents, wherein the one or more agents comprises a basic therapeutic agent.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the one or more therapeutic agents constitute from about 40 wt. % to about 70 wt. % of the composition.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the POE polymer has an acetal monomer content of from about 20 mol. % to about 80 mol. %.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the POE polymer has a polyol monomer content of from about 20 mol. % to about 80 mol. %.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The injectable gel composition of claim 4, wherein the polyol monomer content comprises from about 1 mol. % to about 60 mol. % of one or more modified polyols.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the POE polymer has a weight-average molecular weight of from about 1 kDa to about 100 kDa.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the first POE polymer has a Tg of between about −10° C. and 50° C. as determined in accordance with ASTM E1640-18.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the solvent comprises an organic solvent.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the organic solvent comprises N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), 2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol, triacetin, glycofurol, polyethylene glycol, ethyl acetate, or mixtures thereof.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The injectable gel composition of claim 9, wherein the organic solvent comprises NMP.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the one or more therapeutic agents comprise one or more antipsychotics.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The injectable gel composition of claim 11, wherein the one or more antipsychotics comprise risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, aripiprazole, and functional analogues thereof.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the therapeutic agent is in crystalline form.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, comprising a second POE polymer.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The injectable gel composition of claim 14, wherein the second POE polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) that is greater than the first POE polymer.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The injectable gel composition of claim 1, wherein the composition forms an in situ implant upon injection.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

A method for prohibiting and/or treating a condition, disease, and/or cosmetic state of a patient in need thereof, the method comprising injecting the composition of claim 1 in the patient.
