  • Patent number: 10583146
    Abstract: The invention relates to glucocorticoid replacement therapy and provides pharmaceutical compositions and kits designed to deliver one or more glucocorticoids to a subject in need thereon in a manner that results in serum levels of the glucocorticoid that essentially mimic that of a healthy subject for a clinically relevant period of time. The pharmaceutical compositions and kits are prepared in such a way that a first part of one or more glucocorticoids is substantially immediately released and a second part of one or more glucocorticoids is released over an extended period of time of at least about 8 hours. The invention also relates to a method for treating diseases requiring glucocorticoid treatment such as in subjects having a glucocorticoid deficiency disorder.

  • Patent number: 9925139
    Abstract: The present invention relates to glucocorticoid-containing pharmaceutical compositions or kits for use in acute emergency situations where acute glucocorticoid therapy is required. Notably, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and kits that are designed to be administered by non-medically trained persons outside a hospital or another medical or clinical setting. The invention also relates to a method for treating a disorder requiring acute glucocorticoid therapy by providing a fast onset of action of a glucocorticoid.

  • Patent number: 8425937
    Abstract: The invention relates to glucocorticoid replacement therapy and provides pharmaceutical compositions and kits designed to deliver one or more glucocorticoids to a subject in need thereof in a manner that results in serum levels of the glucocorticoid that essentially mimic that of a healthy subject for a clinically relevant period of time. The pharmaceutical composition comprises one or more glucocorticoids, wherein a first part of one or more glucocorticoids is substantially immediately released and a second part of one or more glucocorticoids is released over an extended period of time of at least about 8 hours, and the amount of the one or more glucocorticoids of the first part, expressed as hydrocortisone equivalents, is in a range of from about 15 to about 50% of the total hydrocortisone equivalents.

  • Publication number: 20120183610
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved glucocorticoid therapy and to treatment or prevention of a number of disorders that are due to a diminished or disrupted endogenous glucocorticoid secretory pattern. The invention is based on the findings that producing a specific serum Cortisol time profile that mimics the circadian rhythm of Cortisol of a healthy subject in a subject suffering from a diminished or disrupted glucocorticoid secretory pattern gives benefits with respect to reduction of side-effects.

  • Publication number: 20100062981
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing peri- and postoperative bleeding in subjects undergoing surgery, in particular subjects with a preoperative fibrinogen plasma level equal to or above the normal range. The method comprises administration of a substance with fibrinogen-like activity to the subject in an amount that result in a circulating fibrinogen plasma level of from about 1.0 g/L. The present invention also provides a method for determining the risk of subjects with a preoperative fibrinogen plasma level equal to or above the normal range to bleed postoperatively. Furthermore, the present invention provides means for predicting the necessity of blood or plasma transfusion after a subject with a preoperative fibrinogen plasma level equal to or above the normal range has been subject to a surgical procedure. The means involves measurement of the fibrinogen level of the subject before surgery and comparing the level with a risk curve.
