[0172] Example 1. Treatment of Pneumonia Patients

[0173] A 65-year-old man presented to the hospital. The patient explained that he was not breathing well, was short and rapid, and appeared to be gasping for air. The patient further complained of severe chest pain and coughing. On examination, the clinician noted weakened vital signs, fever, and bluish nail beds. The clinician also auscultates (eg, using a stethoscope) the patient's lungs as the patient inhales and exhales. Clinicians hear crackles and other noises in the lungs. At this point, the patient was admitted with suspected pneumonia, was given antibiotics, and then sent for a chest X-ray. After reviewing the patient's X-rays, clinicians made a tentative diagnosis of pneumonia. Clinicians can also order lab tests, such as blood cultures, which can take up to 48 hours for the first readout and up to five days for the full readout. The level of IαIp (eg, IαI and / or PαI) in a patient-derived biological sample (eg...

[0175] Example 2. Treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

[0176] A 60-year-old female patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was scheduled for lung transplantation. In preparation for her surgery, the patient was prescribed IαIp (eg IαI and / or PαI) at 5 mg / kg twice daily for one week prior to surgery.

[0177] Example 3. Treatment of Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

[0178] A 65-year-old man with aspiration of gastric contents was admitted to the hospital with weakened vital signs. Upon examination, clinicians noted that the patient had extreme shortness of breath, dyspnea, cough, and fever. The clinician ordered a chest x-ray, and imaging of the patient's chest revealed extensive bilateral infiltrates. The patient was diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by measuring the patient's PaO 2 / FiO 2 Confirmed by additional laboratory testing with levels <200 mmHg.

[0179] A therapeutically effective dose of IαIp (eg, IαI and / or PαI) is administered to the patient. An effective dose administered intravenously to a patient is 1 mg / kg to 50 mg / kg, preferably 5 mg / kg to 15 mg / kg (e.g., 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 mg / kg ). At the beginning of treatment, the composition is administered to the patient one or more times every 1, 2,...

Abstract

The invention features methods for treating or preventing pulmonary diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia, in a subject in need thereof that involve administering to the subject inter-[alpha] inhibitor proteins (l[alpha]lps), including, e.g., inter-alpha inhibitor (l[alpha]l) and/or pre-alpha inhibitor (P[alpha]l).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the treatment of acute lung diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia. Background technique [0002] Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a fatal disease characterized by acute lung injury leading to pulmonary edema and respiratory failure. Patients who have experienced trauma, haemorrhage, severe pneumonia, influenza, and / or sepsis are at risk of developing ARDS. Despite major advances in critical care management, the mortality rate of ARDS remains over 40%. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people in the United States die each year from complications of ARDS. [0003] Pneumonia is a common but serious disease characterized by inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by a lung infection. There are more than 450 million reported cases of pneumonia and an estimated 4 million deaths from pneumonia each year. Pneumonia is particularly severe in children, the elderly, an...
