  • the disclosure presented herein provides methods for treating a subject suffering from a pathological condition.
  • the method is based on a fast de sensitization protocol comprising intradermal/epicutaneous injection of female sexual hormones.
  • composition comprising said female sexual hormones.
  • Desensitization also known as allergen immunotherapy, is a medical treatment in which the patient is exposed to an allergen or antigen, in an attempt to induce the immune system to tolerate the allergen, thus preventing future allergic reactions. Desensitization has been proved useful for treating skin atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, respiratory allergies, allergic conjunctivitis, asthma, and others.
  • the desensitization mechanism seems to redirect the immune response from humoral immunity towards cellular immunity, thereby encouraging the body to produce more CD4+ T regulatory cells, which secrete IL-10 and TGF-P, and inhibit IgE production.
  • the treatment usually consists of an initial phase, in which the allergen is administered subcutaneously in increasing doses; followed by a maintenance phase, in which the maximal dose is administered monthly for a number of years.
  • Other forms of desensitization such as sublingual, oral, and transdermal immunotherapy, are also used.
  • Sex-hormone induced autoimmune disorders are treated with systemic corticosteroids, conjugated estrogen, the anti-estrogen Tamoxifen and oral contraceptives, among others. While these approaches are efficient at addressing the symptoms, they do not offer a cure for the disease. Among others, these methods may cause systemic and skin local impaired lymphatic drainage and interstitial inflammatory stasis, lower levels of Mg, vitamin Bl, vitamin D, and tissue acidosis. Further, these methods require from the patient to attend a praxis a number of times per week for years, therefore the compliance is very low. Desensitization protocols have been proposed, including oral, intradermal and intravaginal application of the hormones found as immune triggers.

Description

COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE HORMONES AND METHODS FOR USING THEREOF
RELATED APPLICATION
The present application gains priority from US provisional patent application US 63/337,738 filed 3 May 2022 which is included by reference as if fully set-forth herein.
FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The disclosure presented herein provides methods for treating a subject suffering from a pathological condition. The method is based on a fast de sensitization protocol comprising intradermal/epicutaneous injection of female sexual hormones. Further disclosed herein are composition comprising said female sexual hormones.
Desensitization, also known as allergen immunotherapy, is a medical treatment in which the patient is exposed to an allergen or antigen, in an attempt to induce the immune system to tolerate the allergen, thus preventing future allergic reactions. Desensitization has been proved useful for treating skin atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, respiratory allergies, allergic conjunctivitis, asthma, and others.
While not fully elucidated, the desensitization mechanism seems to redirect the immune response from humoral immunity towards cellular immunity, thereby encouraging the body to produce more CD4+ T regulatory cells, which secrete IL-10 and TGF-P, and inhibit IgE production. The treatment usually consists of an initial phase, in which the allergen is administered subcutaneously in increasing doses; followed by a maintenance phase, in which the maximal dose is administered monthly for a number of years. Other forms of desensitization, such as sublingual, oral, and transdermal immunotherapy, are also used.
A number of clinical observations suggest that intolerance to female sex hormones, such as estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone, and testosterone, are involved in diverse autoimmune pathologies. Clinical studies indicate, for example, a higher incidence of autoimmune diseases in woman compared to man. Further, an improvement or worsening of autoimmune diseases was correlated with increases or decreases of hormone levels, as during puberty, pregnancy and menopause. Clinical studies further revealed higher levels of estrogen and progesterone specific immunoglobulins in patients with menstruation cycle dependent disorders. Finally, androgens and estrogens were shown to promote autoimmune diseases with a profile of type 1 cytokines, or a type 2 cytokine profile, respectively, in animal models. Sex-hormone induced autoimmune disorders are treated with systemic corticosteroids, conjugated estrogen, the anti-estrogen Tamoxifen and oral contraceptives, among others. While these approaches are efficient at addressing the symptoms, they do not offer a cure for the disease. Among others, these methods may cause systemic and skin local impaired lymphatic drainage and interstitial inflammatory stasis, lower levels of Mg, vitamin Bl, vitamin D, and tissue acidosis. Further, these methods require from the patient to attend a praxis a number of times per week for years, therefore the compliance is very low. Desensitization protocols have been proposed, including oral, intradermal and intravaginal application of the hormones found as immune triggers.
Other desensitization protocols were reported in the literature, as Itsekson AM et al. 2013 Gynecol Endocrinol, 29:2 pp. 169-172, and Foer D et al. 2016, J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract, 4:4 pp. 723-729. Despite the general advances in the field, the diverse desensitization methods can only be considered as experimental approaches, and they are rarely applied in clinical routine.
Herein is disclosed a desensitization method to treat diverse hormone-induced disorders. The methods disclosed herein were proven to be very efficient in treating autoimmune disorders, even after a single therapy session.
