Methods of treating complications and disorders associated with g-csf administration
Abstract
The present embodiments relate to novel uses of MPO inhibitors and inhibitors of MPO and E-selectin binding. In some embodiments, methods are provided for treating G-CSF-induced vascular complications and associate tissue injury comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound that inhibits E-selectin receptor/ligand interaction or inhibits MPO activity. The inhibitors may be administered in conjunction with G-CSF therapy. The inhibitors include antibody molecules, as well as homologues, analogues and modified or derived forms thereof, including immunoglobulin fragments like Fab, F(ab′) 2 and Fv, small molecules, including peptides, oligonucleotides, peptidomimetics (including aptamers) and organic compounds (e.g., glycomimetics).
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method for preventing and/or treating G-CSF-induced vascular complications and associated tissue damage comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound that inhibits the interaction between E-selectin receptor and MPO-EL, wherein the compound is administered in conjunction with G-CSF therapy.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is an anti-MPO-EL antibody.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is administered prior to, during or after administration of G-CSF.
4 . A method for preventing and/or treating vascular complications and associated tissue damage comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound that inhibits the interaction between E-selectin receptor and MPO-EL.
5 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the compound that inhibits the interaction between E-selectin receptor and MPO-EL is an anti-MPO-EL antibody.
6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is sepsis.
7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
8 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is stroke.
9 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is angina pectoris.
10 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is myocardial infarct.
11 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is a localized or systemic vasculitis syndromes.
12 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is atherosclerosis.
13 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is Wegener's granulomatosis.
14 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the vascular complication is sickle cell crises.
15 . A method of treating acute myocardial infarction or other ischemic events in conjunction with reperfusion therapy comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound that inhibits the interaction between E-selectin receptor and MPO-EL.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the compound is an anti-MPO-EL antibody.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the reperfusion therapy is primary angioplasty.Cited by (0)
