Prostacyclin analogue formulations
The present invention relates to an injectable pre-formulation comprising: a) at least one of a mono-, di-, or tri-acyl lipid and/or a tocopherol; b) optionally at least one phospholipid; c) at least one biocompatible, organic solvent; and d) at least one prostacyclin analogue or a salt thereof; wherein the pre-formulation forms, or is capable of forming, at least one liquid crystalline phase structure upon contact with excess aqueous fluid. Such compositions may additionally comprise polar co-solvents. Methods of treatment, particularly for management of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), severe PAH, Raynard's disease, ischemia and related conditions are provided, as well as corresponding uses of the compositions. Administration devices comprising the formulations and kits comprising the devices are also provided.
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE, ASTHMA, PNEUMONIA, BRONCHITIS, CYSTIC FIBROSIS, PULMONARY EDEMA, INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE, SARCOIDOSIS, IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS, ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME, AND PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION
A method of treating COPD, Asthma, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Cystic Fibrosis, Pulmonary Edema, Interstitial Lung Disease, Sarcoidosis, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and PAH in a patient. One embodiment includes administering a vasodilator prostacyclin analogue, such as Beraprost or Iloprost, separately or together with a form of Diethylcarbamazine or Zileuton. Other embodiments may include fluvoxamine. The vasodilator prostacyclin analogue is inhaled. Diethylcarbamazine/Zileuton is inhaled into the lung or administered orally or intravenously. Other embodiments include fluvoxamine. This treatment reduces the progression of the disease, reduces life-threatening exacerbations, and improves the quality of life. The treatment is also for COPD patients with eosinophilia who are incompletely treated with steroids and addresses steroid-unresponsive disease components of COPD including pulmonary hypertension and intravascular inflammation and bronchiectasis. The treatment may include a PDE4 inhibitor and current treatments with existing steroids and beta-adrenergic receptor agonists and/or muscarinic receptor blockers. The treatment is also for ARDS and COVID-19.
