Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the medical use of polysulfated polysaccharides and compositions thereof for the treatment of pain or pain conditions. In particular, the disclosure relates to use of polysulfated polysaccharides and compositions thereof for the treatment of pain or pain conditions mediated by mature Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) or its precursor pro-Nerve Growth Factor (pro-NGF).
Abstract: The present invention relates to medical use of polysulfated polysaccharides and compositions thereof in the treatment of post-operative joint pain in a mammal. In particular, the invention relates to the use of the polysulfated polysaccharide, pentosan polysulfate, and compositions thereof in the treatment of aseptic persistent pain after joint arthroplasty in a mammal.
Abstract: Methods for the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), particularly ARDS caused by viral infections such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2, comprising the administration of pentosan polysulfate (PPS) are provided. Some provided methods comprise the administration of sodium pentosan polysulfate. Prophylactic methods comprising the administration (for example, intra-nasally) of sodium pentosan polysulfate to inactivate a vims which is causative of ARDS are also provided.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the medical use of polysulfated polysaccharides and compositions thereof for the treatment of disease or disorders associated with bone marrow pathologies in the musculoskeletal system of a mammal. In particular, the invention relates to use of polysulfated polysaccharides, such as pentosan polysulfate, in treatment of bone marrow edema lesions or spinal Modic Endplate Changes as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
