  • Patent number: 12295989
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating or controlling hypoparathyroidism in a human patient by administering to the human patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a controlled-release PTH compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The controlled-release PTH compound comprises a PTH moiety reversibly conjugated to a branched polyethylene glycol carrier. The composition is administered by subcutaneous injection no more frequently than once every 24 hours with a dosage of the controlled-release PTH compound that corresponds to no more than 70% of the molar equivalent dose of PTH 1-84 administered by subcutaneous injection at the same dosing frequency required to maintain a serum albumin-adjusted calcium level in serum of above 8.5 mg/dL over a 24 hour period.

  • Patent number: 12274737
    Abstract: A chemically modified human Growth Hormone (rhGH) prepared by attaching a transient linker which comprises a polyethylene glycol. The chemically modified protein may have a much longer lasting rhGH activity than that of the unmodified rhGH, enabling reduced dose and scheduling opportunities and the modified rhGH may not cause lipoatrophy. Also includes methods of use for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases or disorders in which use of growth hormone is beneficial.
