Definitions
- the present invention is in the field of muscular dystrophy treatment.
- Muscular Dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive loss of muscle strength and integrity.
- Classical histological findings of muscular dystrophies consist of pathological fiber size variation, muscle cell degeneration (necrosis) and regeneration, and replacement of muscle by connective and adipose tissue.
- DMD Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- DMD corticosteroids
- mdx mice the mouse model for DMD
- beneficial effects of steroids were observed, including improvement in muscle strength and attenuation in muscle fibrosis and muscle tissue damage.
- Studies have also demonstrated improvement in patient' s muscle strength as a result of such treatment.
- Treatment is usually started at the ages of 4-6 years. Upon initiation of treatment there is usually apparent improvement in ambulation in most children for 6-12 months, followed by stabilization for about 2 years and long term slower deterioration than untreated patients.
- Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator, that acts as an estrogen antagonist in breast tissue, but may function as an estrogen agonist in others. Tamoxifen itself is a prodrug, which is metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 isoform CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 into active metabolites such as 4 -hydroxy tamoxifen (afimoxifene) and N-desmethyl-4-hydroxytamoxifen (endoxifen), which exhibit 30-100 times greater affinity for the estrogen receptor than tamoxifen itself.
- Estrogen receptors are also expressed in muscle cells, and preliminary data suggests that in mdx mice, tamoxifen administration improved muscle structure and overall strength (Am J Pathol. 2013 Feb;182(2):485-504, Dorchies, OM, et al.)

- liposomes include emulsions, foams, micelies, insoluble monolayers, liquid crystals, phospholipid dispersions, lamellar layers and the like.
- Liposomes for use with the presently described peptides are formed from standard vesicle-forming lipids which generally include neutral and negatively charged phospholipids and a sterol, such as cholesterol.
- the selection of lipids is generally determined by considerations such as liposome size and stability in the blood.
- a variety of methods are available for preparing liposomes as reviewed, for example, by Coligan, J. E. et al, Current Protocols in Protein Science, 1999, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, and see also U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,235,871, 4,501,728, 4,837,028, and 5,019,369.
- the carrier may comprise, in total, from about 0.1% to about 99.99999% by weight of the pharmaceutical compositions presented herein.
- the citrulline is a drug grade citrulline pharmaceutical formulation at a precisely predefined dose.
- the tamoxifen, the agent or both are formulated for oral administration.
- the tamoxifen, the agent or both are formulated for administration to a child.
- the tamoxifen, the agent or both are formulated for oral administration to a child.
- a formulation for oral administration to a child comprises any one of a powder, a liquid, a strip, a chewable pill or a melt.
- the powder, liquid, strip, chewable or melt is formulated for easy ingestion and/or digesting by an infant or child.
- an oral formulation is selected from the group consisting of: a fast dispersing dosage form (FDDF, a melt), a multi-particulate drug delivery system, an orally disintegrating/dissolving tablet (ODT, or chewable), orally disintegrating/dissolving film (ODF, or strip), and other chewable formulations.
- FDDF fast dispersing dosage form
- ODT orally disintegrating/dissolving tablet
- ODF orally disintegrating/dissolving film
- an adaptive is added to the formulation to improve the taste for children.
- oral formulations for children include, but are not limited to, Calpol Fast Melts® (Pfizer Consumer Health), Nurofen® Meltlets (Crookes Healthcare), Benadryl® orodispersible tablets, Viracept® oral powder, Singulair® oral granule and Depakote® Sprinkle capsules.
- Multi Particulate (MP) oral compositions can reformulate a drug into a tasteless, non- gritty MP formulation (i.e. a powder) that can be taken directly, or sprinkled onto food or liquid for children to take.
- Multiparticulate drug delivery systems are composed of a number of discrete units such as granules, pellets or minitablets.
- Multiparticulate products provide improved patient acceptability over single-unit solid dosage forms (i.e., tablets and capsules) by dint of their reduced size and thus improved ease of swallowing plus the increased dose flexibility provided by their multi-unit composition.
- multiparticulate products are usually suitable for controlled release and taste masking by means of film-coating technologies, which can also benefit patient's compliance. Characteristic advantages and limitations of multiparticulate drug delivery systems are summarized.
- Orally dispersible/dissolvable tablets are designed to disintegrate in the oral cavity within a matter of seconds, avoiding the need for swallowing the tablet as a whole. In some cases, when the disintegration/dissolution is sufficiently fast, the use of water can also be avoided.
- Drug-loaded ODFs based on polymeric matrices can be designed to disintegrate quickly in the mouth releasing the active ingredient. Swallowing is aided by the quick disintegration/dissolution of ODFs in the oral cavity in a similar fashion to their predecessor ODTs, eliminating the need of water for their administration.
- ODFs possess an elegant appearance and may be preferred by some patients.
- kits of the invention comprise at least one dosing form of any one of 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg tamoxifen. Each possibility represents a separate embodiment of the invention.
- kits of the invention comprise at least one dosing form of any one of, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and grams of agent selected from citrulline, arginine, or a combination of citrulline and arginine.
- half doses are provided for a twice-daily dosing regimen.
- a length of about 1000 nanometers (nm) refers to a length of 1000 nm+- 100 nm.
- Example 1 Compassionate cohort treated with 10 mg tamoxifen for 2 years.
- Example 2 Clinical study of tamoxifen and tamoxifen with L-citrulline to treat DMD
- a study is conducted to test tamoxifen treatment, and tamoxifen with citrulline for prevention of deterioration in muscle strength and function (ambulation) in patients with DMD. Safety and tolerability of the treatment is also monitored. The added clinical value of tamoxifen or tamoxifen/citrulline in combination with steroid treatment is assessed, as is the ability to lower steroid dose with these additional treatments.
- DMD is confirmed in the patients by at least one of:
- Secondary endpoints include change from baseline in physical function as measured by the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA), and change from baseline in timed function tests (time to stand from supine and time to run/walk 10 meters).
- NSAA North Star Ambulatory Assessment
- Boys aged 5-16 years, diagnosed with DMD and already on steroid treatment are included in the study. Patients on prednisone, prednisolone or deflazacort must have been on it for at least 3 months prior to screening. Patients on stable dose of any combination of creatine, glutamine, coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, C or D, arginine, calcium, must have taken these medications for at least 2 months prior to screening. Following a baseline assessment period, the subjects are treated for at least 12 months, with an option to extend to 3 years, and are monitored routinely at visits every 3 months (+2 weeks).
- Patients in the tamoxifen group receive 5-10 mg tamoxifen twice daily in addition to the steroid treatment they have been receiving before the study.
- Patients in the tamoxifen/citrulline group receive 5-10 mg tamoxifen twice daily, and 2-4 grams L-citrulline twice daily, in addition to the steroid treatment they have been receiving before the study. Tamoxifen and citrulline are administered orally only.
- 6MWT is the distance that the child walks during 6 minutes in a 25-meter course which was adapted from the American Thoracic Society guidelines, has been validated in DMD and is currently used as a primary endpoint in therapeutic trials in most ambulatory boys with DMD.
- the course on which the 6MWT is performed is on a flat surface, has linear markings and a "safety chaser" to provide standardized encouragements and assist with falls.
- 95% CI are calculated for the rate of seizures per week based on a seizure diary.
- the data are analyzed using the SAS ® version 9.3 (SAS Institute, Cary North Carolina).
