Abstract
A bioerodible pellet capable of administering an even and continuous dose of a peptide over a period of up to a year, when subcutaneously implanted, is provided. The bioerodible implant is a partially-fused pellet, which pellet has a peptide drug homogeneously-bound in a matrix of a melted and recrystallized, nonpolymer carrier. Preferably, the nonpolymer carrier is a steroid and in particular is cholesterol or a cholesterol derivative. In one embodiment, the peptide drug is growth hormone-releasing hormone. A method for making the bioerodible pellet also is provided.
