This invention relates to novel methods and devices for iontophoretically administering therapeutic doses of cell adhesion receptor antagonists in a controlled manner through the skin. Such antagonist compounds include but are not limited to antagonists of the IIb/IIIa and .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrins and related cell surface adhesive protein receptors. The present invention includes iontophoretic delivery devices comprising cell adhesion receptor antagonists. Such methods and devices are useful, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders, angiogenic disorders, inflammation, bone degradation, cancer metastasis, diabetic retinopathy, restenosis, macular degeneration, and other conditions mediated by cell adhesion and/or cell migration and/or angiogenesis.
An iontophoresis device for non-invasively administering a therapeutic dose of an .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin antagonist to a mammal at a delivery rate of 0.5 .mu.g/h or greater, comprising:
An iontophoresis device for non-invasively administering a therapeutic dose of an .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin inhibitor compound to a mammal, comprising (1) a cathode and an anode each disposed so as to be in electrical connection with a source of electrical energy and in contact with skin of a subject;
A method of non-invasively administering a therapeutic dose of a .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin antagonist to a mammal, comprising the step of iontophoretically driving the .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin antagonist through a predetermined area of skin of the mammal at a delivery rate of 0.5 .mu.g/h or greater.
An iontophoretic device for non-invasively administering a therapeutic dose of an .alpha..sub.v .beta..sub.3 integrin antagonist to a mammal at a delivery rate of 0.5 .mu.g/h or greater, comprising:
An iontophoretic device for non-invasively administering a therapeutic dose of a cell adhesion inhibitor compound and competing compound ion thereto to a mammal, comprising:
