Pharming granted U.S. patent on C1 inhibitor use in ischemia reperfusion injury indications
The patent relates to a novel method of using recombinant C1 inhibitor (rhC1 INH), being produced either in cell cultures or in transgenic animals, wherein rhC1 INH is administered after the onset of ischemia or the start of reperfusion. Recombinant C1 inhibitor showed - in contrast to plasma-derived C1 inhibitor - to be still therapeutically active in a time span of 6 hours and therefore particularly useful for unforeseen occurrences of ischemic reperfusion such as stroke and myocardial infarction, whereas other claims are directed to treatment during organ transplantations.
