Embodiment 1

[0115] Before study enrollment, information was collected prospectively in a subgroup of 18 human subjects with a history of nephrolithiasis, based on subject reports. In the 4-week double-blind phase 2 study, subjects were randomly assigned to one of 4 treatment groups: (1) febuxostat 40 mg / day, (2) febuxostat 80 mg / day, (3) Febuxostat 120 mg / day, or (4) placebo.

[0116] Subjects who completed the double-blind study entered the open-label long-term study and began treatment with 80 mg febuxostat / day. The dose of febuxostat can be gradually adjusted to 40 mg or 120 mg febuxostat / day within the initial 6 months based on the subject's serum urate level and the occurrence of adverse events.

[0117] In the study subgroup, a causal analysis of nephrolithiasis was performed in study subjects (n=13) who had received febuxostat for > 30 months. In the event of kidney stone formation, all these stones are analyzed for their mineral content.

[0118] The following were the criteria...

Embodiment 2

[0137] Initially 6-week-old B6C3F1 species / strain mice were dosed by oral gavage with febuxostat suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose. The daily dose administered was 0 mg (ie the control group), 3 mg, 12 mg, 24 mg or 48 mg. Histopathological examination of the kidneys was performed 13 weeks after dosing for vesicular degeneration of the renal proximal tubules, a change known to occur naturally in rodents. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0143] Example 2 shows that administration of febuxostat reduces vesicular degeneration of renal proximal tubules in a statistically significant manner in the male animals studied.

Embodiment 3

[0145] Rats with remnant kidneys (RK) were generated using male Wistar rats (295-340 g) as follows. Under light anesthesia with ether, a 5 / 6 nephrectomy was performed by removing the right kidney and selectively ligation of 2-3 branches of the left renal artery. The rats were then assigned one of four treatment groups: Group 1, RK control rats (n=7); Group 2, RK+Febuxostat (Fx) rats (n=8); Group 3, RK+oxonic acid (OA) rats (n=6); and Group 4, RK+OA+Fx (n=10). On the day after 5 / 6 nephrectomy, oxonic acid (OA) (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis Mo., USA) was intragastrically administered at 750 mg / kg body weight per day. Febuxostat was administered at 30 mg / L (3-4 mg / kg / day) in drinking water starting immediately after surgery, while corresponding controls received only drinking water (addition of 3.5 mg / L NaCl, and water containing Fx maintain an equal salt concentration).

[0146] All groups were treated for 4 weeks. Body weight (beginning just before surgery) and food and water in...

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods of preserving renal function in a subject in need thereof by administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one xanthine oxidoreductase inhibiting compound or salt thereof.

Description

[0001] Related application information [0002] This application claims the benefit of 60 / 858,509 filed November 13, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. field of invention [0003] The present invention relates to methods of treating a subject to preserve renal function. More specifically, the present invention encompasses the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of at least one xanthine oxidoreductase inhibiting compound or salt thereof to a subject in need of preservation of renal function, so as to preserve renal function in such patients. Background of the invention [0004] It has been observed that subjects suffering from conditions such as hyperuricemia, gout, acute gouty arthritis, chronic gouty arthropathy, tophi gout, uric acid nephropathy and / or nephrolithiasis (kidney stones), Their renal function may sometimes be reduced or compromised, especially if the long-term condition develops (see Johnson, ...
