4 results about "Loading dose" patented technology

In pharmacokinetics, a loading dose is an initial higher dose of a drug that may be given at the beginning of a course of treatment before dropping down to a lower maintenance dose. A loading dose is most useful for drugs that are eliminated from the body relatively slowly, i.e. have a long systemic half-life. Such drugs need only a low maintenance dose in order to keep the amount of the drug in the body at the appropriate therapeutic level, but this also means that, without an initial higher dose, it would take a long time for the amount of the drug in the body to reach that level.

Therapeutic method for regulating hypoxic ischemic brain injury of newborn mouse through Prxl2b

The invention discloses a treatment method for regulating hypoxic ischemic brain injury of newborn mice through Prxl2b, and relates to the technical field of hypoxic brain injury. Accurate timing of treatment intervention is achieved, an optimal treatment time window is defined by establishing an oxidative stress mechanical model, it is ensured that supplementation or activation of Prxl2b plays the maximum effect in the stage where oxidative stress is most active and strongest in destructiveness, blindness of empirical drug administration is overcome, and the treatment intervention accuracy is improved. The initial injury volume and the administration delay time are quantified into calculation parameters of a mathematical model, so that the initial load dose and the maintenance dose can be customized for each model mouse, and the treatment intensity is accurately matched with the injury severity; the curative effect is maximized; and the excessive risk is potentially reduced.

Suppression of neurodegenerative diseases by single domain antibody

The present invention is directed to methods for treating or preventing neuroinflammation in a subject by administering an effective amount of a single-domain antibody (sdAb) comprising SEQ ID NO:1. The method is applicable to subjects with multiple sclerosis, including secondary progressive, primary progressive, and relapsing-remitting forms. Administration may be intravenous, subcutaneous, or intrathecal, with dosage regimens including daily administration, loading and maintenance doses, or continuous infusion. The method may be initiated upon first clinical signs of central nervous system demyelination and continued for at least 14 days. The sdAb may be co-administered with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient such as mannitol, sucrose, or polysorbate 80, and optionally combined with disease-modifying therapies including interferon-β, glatiramer acetate, fingolimod, or ocrelizumab. The invention provides a targeted approach for modulating neuroinflammatory processes in neurological disorders.

Treatment of prostate cancer

Methods for treating prostate cancer, including advanced prostate cancer, in a subject in need thereof, include administering once-daily to the subject, at least 80 mg of N-(4-(1-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-5-((dimethylamino)methyl)-3-(6-methoxy-3-pyridazinyl)-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)phenyl)-N′-methoxyurea, or a corresponding amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Another method includes: administering once-daily to the subject in need thereof, an oral load dose formulation having from 240 mg to 480 mg of N-(4-(1-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-5-((dimethylamino)methyl)-3-(6-methoxy-3-pyridazinyl)-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)phenyl)-N′-methoxyurea, or a corresponding amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and thereafter administering once-daily to the subject, an oral maintenance dose formulation having 80 mg to 160 mg of N-(4-(1-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-5-((dimethylamino)methyl)-3-(6-methoxy-3-pyridazinyl)-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)phenyl)-N′-methoxyurea, or a corresponding amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
