  • Patent number: 11376252
    Abstract: A method for preventing, treating and/or improving a prostatic disease or disorder associated with epithelial hyperplasia and/or fibrosis, comprising: administering an effective amount of a multikinase inhibitor to a subject in need thereof, wherein the multikinase inhibitor has a certain spectrum of kinase inhibitory activity. The multikinase inhibitor is sunitinib, regorafenib, ponatinib, pazopanib, nintedanib and/or lenvatinib. The prostatic disease or disorder is selected from the group consisting of benign prostate hyperplasia and its associated lower urinary tract symptoms, fibrosis of ureters and renal pelvis, prostate adenoma, and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia in animals and humans.

  • Patent number: 11278546
    Abstract: A method for preventing and/or treating fibrosis associated with an eye-related disease or disorder includes administering an effective amount of a multikinase inhibitor to a subject in need thereof. The multikinase inhibitor is nintedanib, lenvatinib, a combination thereof, or a salt thereof. The eye-related disease or disorder is corneal transparency, corneal scar formation, secondary cataract formation, glaucoma filtration surgery, ocular surgical procedures and implants, photorefractive keratectomy, laser in situ keratomileusis, formation and contraction of pre- and epiretinal membranes, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, subretinal fibrosis/scarring, retinal gliosis, or formation of choroidal membranes.
