Abstract
The present invention relates to novel uses of a construct consisting of virus-like particle (VLP) structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the A□-1-42 peptide and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts (hereinafter CONSTRUCT), in particular to dosage regimens, modes of and dosage forms for the administration of a CONSTRUCT for the treatment of patients suffering from dementia, in particular dementia of the A
Claims20
A method of treatment of dementia in human patients comprising administering a construct consisting of a virus-like particle (VLP) structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the Aβ-1-42 peptide or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, characterized in that the pharmaceutical composition is administered subcutaneously.
A method of treatment of dementia in human patients comprising administering 5 to 5000 μg of a construct consisting of a VLP structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the Aβ-1-42 peptide or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts to human patients in need thereof about every 4 to 8 weeks.
An aqueous solution comprising between 0.25 and 0.75 mg/mL of a VLP structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the Aβ-1-42 peptide or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and phosphate buffer saline.
A combination for treating dementia comprising between 5 to 1000 μg of a construct consisting of a virus like particle structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the Aβ-1-42 peptide or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and at least one agent selected from the list of nootropic agent, antidepressants, antipsychotics, antioxydative treatments, vitamin E, lipid-lowering agents, hormone substitution, amyloid lowering agents, aggregation inhibitors, chelators, immunomodulatory agents, for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of dementia, characterized in that the construct consisting of a virus like particle structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the AB-1-42 peptide or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts is formulated for subcutaneous administration, about every 4 to 8 weeks.
A binding molecule which is capable of binding to a VLP structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the Aβ-1-42 peptide with a dissociation constant <1000 nM.
A binding molecule which is a monoclonal human antibody against Aβ1-42 generated by the immune system of a human in response to the administration of a VLP structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the Aβ-1-42 peptide or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which is capable of binding to Aβ1-42 with a dissociation constant <1000 nM.
A method of isolating immune cells producing human antibodies against Aβ in response to the administration of a VLP structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the Aβ-1-42 peptide or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
A method of isolating monoclonal human antibodies against Aβ1-42 generated by the immune system of a human in response to the administration of a VLP structure chemically coupled to a fragment of the Aβ-1-42 peptide or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
