Abstract
Biodegradation and biocompatibility are crucial for developing long-acting implantable drug delivery systems. Because of the prolonged biological residence of these implants, understanding of in vivo degradation and biocompatibility helps establish the commercial success of these implants. International Organization for Standardization has laid down various guidelines for the development and optimization of in vitro degradation studies. This chapter discusses multiple ISO guidelines and current research to understand the influence of different study parameters on biodegradation study. The chapter also summarizes the immunological consideration in the design and evaluation of long-acting implants.
