In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods for treating hyperplasia in a subject in need thereof. In another aspect of the invention, there are provided methods for reducing neointimal hyperplasia associated with vascular interventional procedures. Formulations contemplated for use herein comprise proteins and at least one pharmaceutically active agent.
摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided compositions and methods useful for the in vivo delivery of a pharmaceutically active agent, wherein the agent is associated with a polymeric biocompatible material.
摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided stabilized total nutrient admixture (TNA) compositions which are useful for the in vivo parenteral delivery of pharmacologically acceptable lipids or fats, as well as methods for the preparation thereof. In particular, the pharmacologically acceptable lipid or fat is contained within a protein walled shell. In a particular embodiment of the invention, a TNA composition using human serum albumin (HSA) as a stabilizer has been prepared as a convenient three-in-one formulation (i.e., containing a fat emulsion, dextrose, and amino acids plus electrolytes). This "three-in-one" formulation can be prepared in liquid form or in dry form (comprising submicron-sized nanoparticles). The dried material is stable, even under long term storage, and is easily reconstituted immediately before use by simply adding sterile water (with or without vitamin supplementation). This serves to rehydrate the powder into a TNA suitable for injection. The long shelf life, ease of reconstitution, and single-component injectability of invention compositions provide significant cost savings, as such compositions can be reconstituted and administered safely, even in the home. In addition, HSA, the stabilizing agent of choice for use in the practice of the present invention, has been shown to improve survival and wellness when given as a supplement to patients receiving conventional forms of total nutrient admixtures.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of treating a patient with diabetes by implanting an improved macrocapsule containing living islet cells in the patient. The improved macrocapsules encapsulate microcapsules containing islet cells, to make the system more biocompatible by decreasing the surface area and surface roughness of microencapsulated biological materials; increasing stability of microencapsulated islet cells; enhancing cytoprotectivity by increasing diffusion distance of encapsulated islet cells from cytotoxins secreted in vivo; providing retrievability of microencapsulated material; and providing a system of sustained release of the cellular products.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of treating recurrent cancer (such as recurrent ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer) in an individual, comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of a composition (such as Nab-paclitaxel or Abraxane®) comprising nanoparticles comprising a taxane and a carrier protein.
摘要:
The present invention provides combination therapy methods of treating proliferative diseases (such as cancer) comprising a first therapy comprising administering to an individual an effective amount of a taxane in a nanoparticle composition, and a second therapy which may include, for example, radiation, surgery, administration of chemotherapeutic agents, or combinations thereof. Also provided are methods of administering to an individual a drug taxane in a nanoparticle composition based on a metronomic dosing regime.
摘要:
The present invention provides stable pharmaceutical compositions of poorly water soluble pharmaceutical agents and stabilizing agents which function to increase stability of the compositions. The use of stabilizing agents provide extended stability of nanoparticle suspensions and other formulations of poorly water soluble pharmaceutical agents such as docetaxel under certain conditions, for example upon dilution for administration.
