Abstract
The invention relates to a method of treatment or prevention of hot flushes in men who underwent castration, e.g. due to androgen ablation treatment in prostate cancer therapy, comprising administration of an effective amount of a CGRP antagonist and/or of a CGRP release inhibitor to the patient, and to the use of said active compounds for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition intended to be used in this method.
Description
USE OF CGRP ANTAGONISTS IN TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF HOT FLUSHES IN PROSTATE CANCER PATIENTS
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of treatment or prevention of hot flushes in men who underwent castration, e.g. due to androgen ablation treatment in prostate cancer therapy (orchiectomy), comprising administration of an effective amount of a CGRP antagonist and/or of a CGRP release inhibitor to a person in need of such treatment. The method according to the invention preferably comprises monotherapy with a single substance, but also includes combined therapy with a number of substances from the specified groups of active substances.
In a second aspect, the invention relates to the use of a CGRP antagonist and/or of a CGRP release inhibitor for manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of hot flushes in men who underwent castration.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hot flushes and sweating, that is vasomotor symptoms, are reported by 43 to 77% of prostate cancer patients after medical or surgical castration, usually persisting for many years, possibly impairing quality of life (Arch. Surg. 43: 209, 1941 ; J. Urol. 152: 1170, 1994). Furthermore, hot flushes occur in 75% of women after menopause. In WO 01/10425 it has been proposed that the symptoms of menopausal hot flushes can be effectively prevented or their distressing effects substantially alleviated by substances which antagonise the effects of CGRP (CGRP antagonists) or inhibit or reduce the release of CGRP from sensory nerve endings (CGRP release inhibitors), this therapeutic approach being superior to hormone replacement therapy in particular because of its lack of side effects.
Although it has been already reported that plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide was increased during hot flushes in six men who underwent castration therapy, the mechanism of hot flushes in men is not well known. For instance, it is unclear up to
now why some men have vasomotor symptoms whereas some do not and it was suggested to discover more about the mechanism of these symptoms to develop new treatment alternatives (J. Urol. 166: 1720-1723, 2001).
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
There is a clear need for alternative approaches and improvement in the treatment and prevention of hot flushes in men who underwent castration.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method of treatment and prevention of hot flushes in men who underwent castration, comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of a CGRP antagonist and/or of a CGRP release inhibitor. .
A second object of the invention is the use of a CGRP antagonist and/or of a CGRP release inhibitor for manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of hot flushes in men who underwent castration.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that the symptoms of hot flushes in men who underwent castration can be effectively prevented or their distressing effects substantially alleviated by substances which antagonise the effects of CGRP (CGRP antagonists) or inhibit or reduce the release of CGRP from sensory nerve endings (CGRP release inhibitors), this therapeutic approach being superior to conventional therapy.
The present invention thus relates to the use of CGRP antagonists and/or CGRP release inhibitors for combating hot flushes in men who underwent castration, including both prevention and acute treatment. The use according to the invention preferably comprises monotherapy with a single substance, but also includes combined therapy with a number of substances from the specified groups of active substances. Moreover, the treatment according to the invention may be carried out in
addition to conventional therapy, thus any aspect of the invention includes combination with conventional therapy or those drugs used in conventional therapy.
The expression "conventional treatment" is meant to comprise
hormonal therapies comprising oral and topical administration (although especially oral hormonal therapies are known to cause side effects), e.g. oral diethylstilbestrol, topical estrogens such as estrogen patches, oral medroxyprogesterone acetate, megestrol acetate and cyproterone acetate,
oral central α2-agonists, e.g. oral clonidine,
selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors, e.g. sertraline (Zoloft®) and venlafaxine (Effexor®), and
acupuncture, preferably electrostimulated acupuncture.
Suggested recommendations for conventional treatment of hot flushes in men with prostate cancer treated by castration are:
First-line treatments: estrogen patches 0.05 mg/24 hours or 0.10 mg/24 hours (e.g. twice weekly for 4 weeks), transdermal estradiol 0.05 mg/24 hours or oral diethylstilboestrol (DES) 1 mg/day.
Second-line treatments:
Oral progestagens, e.g. megestrol acetate 40 mg/day or oral cyproterone acetate 50 to 300 mg/day, e.g. 50 mg orally twice a day or 300 mg intramuscularly once every 2 weeks, preferably 150 mg/day.
Third-line treatments:
Oral clonidine 0.1 mg/day or
oral sertraline; start on 25 mg/day, titrate individually (to approximately 75-100 mg daily) or oral venlafaxine 12.5 mg twice daily or acupuncture.
The invention also includes the use of an active substance selected from CGRP antagonists and CGRP release inhibitors for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treatment or prevention of hot flushes jn men who underwent castration wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises an active compound used in conventional therapy selected from the group consisting of
hormonal drugs, e.g. oral diethylstilbestrol, an estrogen, medroxyprogesterone acetate, megestrol acetate and cyproterone acetate, including other salt forms of these drugs,
oral central 2-agonists, e.g. oral clonidine, and

CGRP is released by sensory nerves, e.g. the trigeminal nerve which innervates part of the skin of the face. It has already been shown that stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion in humans leads to an increase in the CGRP plasma level and causes reddening of the face ([4]: P.J. Goadsby et al., Annals of Neurology, Vol. 23, No. 2, 1988, 193-196,).
To demonstrate that hot flushes can be successfully treated using CGRP antagonists and CGRP release inhibitors, an increased release of endogenous CGRP was induced in marmosets by stimulating the trigeminal ganglion, leading to increased blood flow through the blood vessels of the skin. The efficacy of the following test substances was characterised by determining the dose administered i.v. which
reduces by 50% the increased blood flow through the skin of the face which has been brought about by endogenous CGRP:
(A) = 1-[N2-[3,5-dibromo-N-[[4-(3,4-dihydro-2(1 H)-oxoquinazolin-3-yl)-1-piperidi- nyl]carbonyl]-D-tyrosyl]-L-lysyl]-4-(4-pyridinyl)-piperazine,

Description of method:
Marmosets of both sexes (300-400 g) are anaesthetised with pentobarbital (initially with 30 mg/kg, i.p., followed by infusion of 6mg/kg/h, i.m.). The body temperature is maintained at 37°C using a heating plate. Pancurmium is administered as a muscle relaxant (initially 1 mg/kg, 0.5 mg after each hour thereafter). The animal's head is secured in a stereotactical apparatus. After the skin on the head has been opened using a lengthwise incision, a small hole is drilled in the skull and a bipolar electrode (Rhodes SNES 100) is lowered into the trigeminal ganglion. Locating the ganglion is made easier by the use of an X-ray which shows up the bone structure of the skull. The petrous bone serves as a guide for placing the
electrode (CCX-Digital X-ray apparatus). The position of the electrode in the ganglion is monitored at the end of each experiment. The stimulation parameters are:
10 Hz, 2 mA, 2 msec, for 30 sec.
The blood flow in the micro-vessels of the facial skin is determined by laser Doppler flow measurement using a PeriFlux Laser Doppler System.
The animals are exposed to 2 to 3 stimulation periods at intervals of 30 min in each case. The first stimulation serves as a reference value for the other stimulations. The test substances are administered i.v. 5 min before the 2nd and 3rd stimulation periods.
Table 1: "50% dose" = i.v. dose which reduces by 50% the increased blood flow through the facial skin caused by endogenous CGRP
