Abstract
The invention provides an implant composition for sustained delivery of a biologically active agent. The implant composition includes a biologically active agent, a thermoplastic polymer, an organic liquid and a small amount of an aqueous medium. The thermoplastic polymer is insoluble in water so that the implant composition has the form of a substantially homogeneous pliable, moldable solid.
