MODULATORS OF CYTOKINE MEDIATED SIGNALLING PATHWAYS AND INTEGRIN ALPHAVBETA3 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS FOR COMBINATION THERAPY
The invention relates to the use of modulators of cytokine mediated signalling pathways in combination with integrin α v β 3 receptor antagonists for the treatment or prevention of diseases, particularly to the use of a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a modulator of cytokine mediated signalling pathways and an integrin α v β 3 receptor antagonist, for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory or autoimmune disorders, particularly for the treatment or prevention of rheumatoid arthritis and to the pharmaceutical composition itself.
1 . The method of modulators of cytokine mediated signalling pathways in combination with integrin α v β 3 receptor antagonists for the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment or prevention of diseases.
2 . The method of claim 1 for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
3 . The method of claim 2 for the treatment or prevention of rheumatoid arthritis.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the modulator of cytokine mediated signalling pathways is a TNFα inhibitor.
5 . A pharmaceutical composition, comprising a modulator of cytokine mediated signalling pathways and an integrin α v β 3 receptor antagonist.
6 . The composition of claim 5 for use as a medicament.
7 . The composition of claim 6 for curing inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
8 . The method of claim 4 for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of diseases.
9 . The method of claim 8 for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
10 . The method of claim 9 for the treatment or prevention of rheumatoid arthritis.
11 . A kit comprising as pharmaceutical agent a modulator of cytokine mediated signalling pathways or/and an integrin α v β 3 receptor antagonist together with an instruction for use 40 of this pharmaceutical agents in combination for simultaneous, separate, or temporal graduated application for the treatment or prevention of diseases.
