Declarations
:
: Not applicable.
: The authors have no relevant financial or nonfinancial interests to disclose.
: Ryan Donnelly, through his university, has licensed patents on distinct microneedle technologies to individual companies on an individual drug or field of use basis. Similarly, he provides, and has previously provided, through his university, consultancy advice to companies developing microneedle products on an individual technology, drug or field of use basis. The term “microneedles” does not describe a single technology. The microneedle systems described in the present paper are not covered by any patent (out-licensed or otherwise) held by Donnelly, nor does he provide consultancy advice to any company developing microneedle products based on the systems described in this paper, dacarbazine or any other drug used to treat melanoma. Accordingly, Donnelly has no conflict of interest here. The other authors also declare no conflict of interest.
