Abstract:
An improved microparticle or lyophilized or otherwise reconstitutable microparticle composition thereof for medical therapy, including ocular therapy.

Claim (Index 16):
A lyophilized or reconstitutable solid of aggregating microparticles which comprise a therapeutic agent encapsulated in at least one biodegradable polymer and a surface surfactant, wherein the microparticles have a mean diameter between 10 \u03bcm and 60 \u03bcm that:\n (i) have a solid core with less than 10% porosity by ratio of void space to total volume; (ii) have a modified surface which has been treated under mild conditions to remove surface surfactant; (iii) have been treated to remove or decrease air or gas adhered on the microparticle; and (iv) is capable of aggregating in vivo to form at least one pellet of at least 500 \u03bcm capable of sustained drug delivery in vivo for at least one month.
