مستخلص: The present invention comprises dosing regimens and formulations of islet cell neogenesis associated protein (INGAP) and INGAP Peptide. The formulation disclosed herein is shown have acceptable stability as a pharmaceutical composition. Further, the formulation is able to regenerate functional islets.
Inventors: Vinik, Aaron I. (Norfolk, VA, US); Rosenberg, Lawrence (Montreal, CA); Pittenger, Gary (Virginia Beach, VA, US); Taylor-Fishwick, David (Norfolk, VA, US); Salem, Michael (Ft. Lauderdale, FL, US); Mohrland, Scott (Plantation, FL, US)
Claim: 1. A method of regenerating functional alpha or beta cells in the islets of Langerhans of a non-rodent mammal comprising administration of an effective amount of a peptide comprising Seq ID No. 3.
Claim: 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the normal biofeedback mechanisms for insulin regulation are maintained.
Claim: 3. The method according to claim 2 wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 0.1 mg to about 300 mg of the polypeptide.
Claim: 4. The method according to claim 2 wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 5 mg to about 150 mg of the polypeptide.
Claim: 5. The method of claim 2 wherein the administration is at a frequency selected from the group consisting of daily, twice daily, three times daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, continuous infusion and combinations thereof.
Claim: 6. The method of claim 2 wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered for a period of at least 30 days.
Claim: 7. A method of increasing beta cell mass in the islets of Langerhans of a non-rodent mammal comprising administration of an effective amount of a peptide comprising Seq ID No. 3.
Claim: 8. The method of claim 6 wherein the normal biofeedback mechanisms for insulin regulation are maintained.
Claim: 9. The method according to claim 6 wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 0.1 mg to about 300 mg of the polypeptide.
Claim: 10. The method according to claim 6 wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 5 mg to about 150 mg of the polypeptide.
Claim: 11. The method of claim 6 wherein the administration is at a frequency selected from the group consisting of daily, twice daily, three times daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, continuous infusion and combinations thereof.
Claim: 12. The method of claim 6 wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered for a period of at least 30 days.
Claim: 13. A method of establishing normal physiological glucose regulation in a mammal in need of such a treatment comprising administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a peptide comprising Seq ID No. 3.
Claim: 14. The method according to claim 13 wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 0.1 mg to about 300 mg of the polypeptide.
Claim: 15. The method according to claim 13 wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 5 mg to about 150 mg of the polypeptide.
Claim: 16. The method of claim 13 wherein the administration is at a frequency selected from the group consisting of daily, twice daily, three times daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, continuous infusion and combinations thereof.
Claim: 17. The method of claim 13 wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered for a period of at least 30 days.
