Abstract

The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising (S)-1-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)sulfonyl)piperidine-3-carboxylic acid and their medical use, for example for use in the treatment of α 1 -antitrypsin deficiency (AATD).

Claims (11)

1 . A method of treating a disease or disorder characterised by low plasma levels of A1AT in a human subject, comprising the step of administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising(S)-1-((2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)sulfonyl)piperidine-3-carboxylic acid

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form,

and a pharmaceutically or therapeutically acceptable excipient or carrier, at a daily dose of about 1-6 mg/kg.

2 . The method of claim 1 , in which the disease or disorder is a1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD).

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering to the human subject is at a daily dose of about 2-5 mg/kg.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the daily dose is about 2 mg/kg.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the daily dose is about 3 mg/kg.

6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the daily dose is about 4 mg/kg.

7 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the daily dose is about 5 mg/kg.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered in oral form.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered intravenously.
