Formulation 1 (3 Batches)

[0087]Preparation of Micronized 5-CNAC: Coarse 5-CNAC, which is to be micronized, is added to a jet mill (Air Jet Mill Gem T® Copley Scientific, Ltd., Nottingham, UK) using a 80 ceramic pan cake jet mill, 8 cm diameter, 6 bar N2, 0.5 mm nozzles with manual feed of about 700 g / h. The coarse 5-CNAC is jet milled and periodically sampled under microscope with reference ruler measurements to identify when the average desired micronized particle size is obtained. Three different batches are ground to create a mean particle size, i.e. D50=6 um, 35 um, and 46 um batches. Individual sieving of the separate micronized batches is then done by using a conical sieve mill (Quadro Comil, Quadro Engineering Incorporated 613 Colby Drive, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2V 1A1) with a U10, 813 um conical sieve, round beater, operating at 1500 rpm with throughput of about 150 kg / h.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel use of calcitonin in rheumatoid arthritis, and to methods of treating and / or preventing rheumatoid arthritis and conditions associated therewith in mammals, particularly humans.In particular, a method is provided of preventing or / and treating rheumatoid arthritis in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to said patient a therapeutically effective amount of calcitonin, e.g. salmon calcitonin in free form or salt form, in a pharmaceutically acceptable oral delivery form, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of a calcitonin is delivered orally in a composition comprising the calcitonin and a delivery agent for calcitonin.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a novel use of calcitonin in rheumatoid arthritis, and to methods of treating and / or preventing rheumatoid arthritis in mammals, particularly humans.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Calcitonins, e.g. salmon, (Asu 1-7)-eel or human calcitonin, of the invention are compounds which are long-chain polypeptide hormones secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland in mammals and by the ultimobranchial gland of birds and fish. Calcitonin is mainly known as a potent inhibitor of osteoclastic bone resorption, which implicates bone attachment of osteoclasts and enzymatic degradation. Furthermore, it was found that there are effects of Intranasal Salmon Calcitonin in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in humans (Siamopoulou A. et al, 2001, Calcif Tissue Int 69: 25-30) and in the prevention of bone erosion and bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis in humans (Sileghem A., 1992, Annals of Rheumatic Diseases 51: 761-764). The degrada...
