Methods of medical treatment with SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitors
A method of treating or preventing adverse outcomes associated with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration, cerebral edema-related side effects, cerebral edema associated with radiation therapy, or migraine headaches by administering an effective amount of a SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitor, such as glyburide, and optionally the co-administration of a second therapeutically active agent, to a subject in need thereof. Adverse outcomes associated with tPA include cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral edema, physical impairment or death. The administration of the SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitors occurs prior to the radiation therapy, during the radiation therapy, after the radiation therapy, or combinations thereof. The SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitor is administered prior to surgical excision of a brain tumor, CAR-T therapy, or administration of flutarabine. Alternatively, or in addition, the SUR1-TRPM4 channel inhibitor is administered prior the onset of the cerebral edema-related side effects.
1. A method of reducing mortality resulting from tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administration in a subject that has been administered tPA, comprising administering an effective amount of a glyburide to the-subject.
2. The method of claim 1 , where the subject has an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) that is equal to or less than 7.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the glyburide is administered for about 1 hours to about 96 hours.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the effective amount of the glyburide is administered prior to administration of tPA to the subject.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the effective amount of the glyburide is administered simultaneously with administration of tPA to the subject.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the effective amount of the glyburide is administered after administration of tPA to the subject.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the glyburide is administered via one or more continuous infusions, via injection, via a transdermal patch or gel, orally, or a combination thereof.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the glyburide is administered at a dosage of about 0.05 mg/day to about 3.0 mg/day.
9. The method of claim 1 , comprising administering the glyburide in an amount sufficient to effect a glyburide plasma level of about 0.4 ng/mL to about 5 ng/mL in said subject.
10. The method of claim 1 , comprising administering the glyburide in an amount sufficient to effect a steady state glyburide concentration of about 3.0 ng/mL to about 30.0 ng/mL in said subject.
11. The method of claim 1 , comprising administering the glyburide in an amount sufficient to effect a C max of the glyburide of about 1 ng/mL to about 30 ng/mL in said subject.
