Problems solved by technology

In certain classes of patients, the toxicity profile of chemotherapeutic agents may be such that concurrent parenteral administration of IL-11 is relatively unsuited.
Other patients may have medical conditions for which the adverse event profile of parenteral IL-11 is relatively unsuited.

Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

[0054] In two well-established models it has been shown that subcutaneous rhIL-11 is able to significantly reduce the clinical signs and histologic lesions of gastrointestinal inflammation: acetic acid-induced colitis, a model of acute injury; and the HLA-B27 transgenic rat, a model of chronic inflammation. While conducting further studies of the mechanism of rhIL-11 action, oral topical activity was seen in hamsters with 5-FU induced oral mucositis and mucosal activity was documented in in vitro / ex vivo studies of intestinal transport. Subsequently, these models have been used to confirm the effectiveness of topically and orally administered rhIL-11.

[0055] Applicants first examined local topical delivery of rhIL-11 to the colon by enema. To determine the stability of rhIL-11 in the lumen of the gut, rhIL-11 and intestinal chyme from HLA-B27 rats were combined and incubated at 37° C. for up to several hours in the presence or absence of a pro...

Treatment of Oral Mucositis

[0058] 95 male Golden Syrian hamsters were equally divided into five groups. Group 1 [control] received phosphate buffered saline and 0.5% hamster serum (vehicle) topically on days 3-14. Groups 2 and 4 received 50 μg IL-11 subcutaneously, twice daily, on days 0-14 and 3-14, respectively. Groups 3 and 5 received 100 μg IL-11 topically, four times daily, on days 3-14 and 0-14, respectively. Ulcerative mucositis was induced by administration of 60 mg / kg body weight of 5-fluorouracil on days 0 and 2. The left buccal pouch was superficially irritated on day 4. Ulcerative mucositis was evaluated blindly starting on day 6 by scoring standardized photographs. The scoring was done on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the most severe. Animals were weighed daily. Blood was taken from 3 animals per group on days 6, 10 and 14.

[0059] For the entire experiment, average mean ulcerative mucositis scores for all groups were significantly [p<0.05] lower than control. [G1=5.0;...

Treatment of Colitis (Colonic Ulcers)

[0073] The effects of three different dosages of recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11), given subcutaneously (SC) either prior to or subsequent to intracolonic administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNB), were studied in Sprague-Dawley rats. The TNB or control were given in a 40% ethanol solution to 312 anesthetized adult male rats allotted to one of 26 groups (n=12). Control groups were: subcutaneous (SC); saline alone; intrarectal (IR); 40% ethanol alone; TNB alone; 40% ethanol alone, and SC, rhIL-11 at the highest dosage alone and groups combining TNB with rhIL-11 therapy, testing three dosages (100, 300, and 1,000 μg / kg), given either before or after induction of colitis with TNB. Body weight changes were monitored. Rats were euthanized at 3 days, 7 days, or 14 days after TNB administration. At necropsy, samples were collected to evaluate fecal occult blood, mucosal myeloperoxidase activity and mucosal gross indexes of ulcerat...
