Abstract
Disclosed are methods of enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of Fexapotide Triflutate (TF) in treating LUTS, both irritative and obstructive, that include administering a composition comprising FT at least twice over a period spanning more than one year. The methods are capable of providing an enhanced therapeutic effect in treating nocturia, and in improving urinary flow, when compared to the therapeutic effect achieved by administration of the same or twice the total amount of FT administered.
Claims25
A method of enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of Fexapotide Triflutate (FT) in treating Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) by improving the urinary peak flow rate (Qmax) mean change from baseline in patients suffering from LUTS, the method comprising
- a) identifying and selecting patients having irritative or obstructive LUTS;
- b) first administering a composition comprising FT to a patient identified and selected in (a) above;
- and
- c) subsequently administering a composition comprising FT to the patient at least more than one year after the first administration, thereby administering a total dosage of FT comprising the sum of the first and subsequent administrations of FT,
- wherein the method improves the urinary peak flow rate (Qmax) mean change from baseline, in an amount greater than the respective improvement in patients that were administered the same total dosage of FT or twice the total dosage of FT in a single administration.

A method of enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of Fexapotide Triflutate (FT) in treating Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) by reducing the percentage of patients who were not able to urinate more than 125 mL of urine in patients suffering from LUTS, the method comprising
- a) identifying and selecting patients having irritative or obstructive LUTS;
- b) first administering a composition comprising FT to a patient identified and selected in (a) above;
- and
- c) subsequently administering a composition comprising FT to the patient at least more than one year after the first administration, thereby administering a total dosage of FT comprising the sum of the first and subsequent administrations of FT,
- wherein the method reduces the percentage of patients who were not able to urinate more than 125 mL of urine, when compared to patient that were administered the same total dosage of FT or twice the total dosage of FT in a single administration.
