20130064834 | METHODS FOR TREATING HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA USING ANTIBODIES TO PCSK9 - The present invention provides methods for treating hypercholesterolemia. The methods of the present invention comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutic composition comprising an anti-PCSK9 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. | 03-14-2013 |
20140099312 | Methods for Treating Hypercholesterolemia and Reducing LDL-C Using Antibodies to PCSK9 - The present invention provides methods for treating hypercholesterolemia and reducing LDL-C. The methods of the present invention comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutic composition comprising an anti-PCSK9 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. | 04-10-2014 |
20140148476 | METHODS FOR TREATING OBESITY AND DISORDERS ASSOCIATED WITH HYPERLIPIDEMIA IN A MAMMAL - The disclosure relates to methods for treating hyperlipidemia in a mammal. The present disclosure also relates to methods for treating and/or controlling obesity in a mammal. The methods involve combination therapies using a microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor (for example, AEGR-733 and implitapide) and a DGAT inhibitor (for example, JTT-553 or PF-04415060). Co-administration of the MTP inhibitor with the DGAT inhibitor produces a therapeutic benefit, for example, a reduction in the concentration of cholesterol and/or triglycerides in the blood stream, but with fewer or reduced side effects than when higher dosages of the MTP inhibitor are used during monotherapy to provide the same or similar therapeutic benefit. | 05-29-2014 |
20140356370 | METHODS FOR TREATING AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA ASSOCIATED WITH PCSK9 GAIN-OF-FUNCTION MUTATIONS - The present invention provides methods for treating autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH). According to certain embodiments, the ADH is caused by or associated with a gain-of-function mutation (GOFm) in a gene encoding PCSK9. The present invention therefore includes methods comprising selecting a patient who carries a GOFm in one or both alleles of the PCSK9 gene, and administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a PCSK9 inhibitor. In certain embodiments, the PCSK9 inhibitor is an anti-PCSK9 antibody such as the exemplary antibody referred to herein as mAb316P. | 12-04-2014 |
20140356371 | METHODS FOR REDUCING REMNANT CHOLESTEROL AND OTHER LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONS BY ADMINISTERING AN INHIBITOR OF PROPROTEIN CONVERTASE SUBTILISIN KEXIN-9 (PCSK9) - The present invention provides methods for reducing various lipoprotein fractions in the serum of patients. The methods of the invention include reducing serum remnant cholesterol, and/or the serum concentration of one or more LDL-C subfractions in a patient. The methods of the present invention comprise selecting a patient who exhibits elevated serum lipoproteins, and administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a PCSK9 inhibitor. In certain embodiments, the PCSK9 inhibitor is an anti-PCSK9 antibody such as the exemplary antibody referred to herein as mAb316P. | 12-04-2014 |
