Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing and/or treating subjects with acute renal failure caused by a variety of conditions. The method comprises administering to the subject soluble thrombomodulin which does not activate Protein C. In conjunction with standard of care, soluble thrombomodulin that does not activate Protein C will prevent or reduce acute kidney injury and subsequent morbidity and mortality.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing and/or treating a patient with acute kidney injury caused by a variety of conditions. The method comprises administering to the patient soluble thrombomodulin variants that do not bind thrombin. In conjunction with standard of care, soluble thrombomodulin variants that do not bind thrombin will prevent or reduce acute kidney injury and subsequent morbidity and mortality.

Abstract: Method of treating a disease or pathological condition with activated protein C or a compound having activated protein C activity by direct regulation of the expression of specific genes associated with the disease or pathological condition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing and/or treating subjects with acute renal failure caused by a variety of conditions. The method comprises administering to the subject soluble thrombomodulin. In conjunction with standard of care, soluble thrombomodulin will reduce tissue injury and subsequent morbidity and mortality.

Abstract: Method of treating a disease or pathological condition with activated protein C or a compound having activated protein C activity by direct regulation of the expression of specific genes associated with the disease or pathological condition.

Abstract: Novel human protein C derivatives are described. These derivatives have increased anti-coagulation activity, resistance to serpin inactivation, and increased sensitivity to thrombin activation compared to wild-type protein C and retain the biological activity of the wild-type human protein C. These derivatives will require either less frequent administration and/or smaller dosage than wild-type human protein C in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes, vascular occlusive disorders, hypercoagulable states, thrombotic disorders and disease states predisposing to thrombosis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment for patients with a variety of thrombotic disorders including, but not limited to, stroke, venous thrombosis, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, abrupt closure following angioplasty or stent placement, and thrombosis as a result of peripheral vascular surgery. Said treatment is a combination therapy with human aPC and antiplatelet agents including, but not limited to, aspirin (ASA), clopidogrel, ReoPro.RTM. (abciximab), dipyridamole, ticlopidine and IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists. The synergy will result in the ability to reduce the dosages of the agents used in the combination therapy.
