Abstract
Methods of utilizing a combined administration or a unit dosage of a combination of an HMG-CoA inhibitor and omega-3 fatty acids for the reduction of apolipoprotein-B levels. The methods are especially useful in the treatment of- patients with hypertriglyceridemia or hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease (CHD), vascular disease, atherosclerotic disease and related conditions, and for the prevention or reduction of cardiovascular, cardiac, and vascular events.
Description
The application is the part continuation application of No. 11/742,292, the U. S. application submitted on April 30th, 2007, and requires the priority of No. 60/850,280, the temporary patent application submitted on October 10th, 2006, and its content is hereby incorporated by.
Technical field
The present invention relates to use the unit dose of the combination of combination medicine-feeding HMG-CoA inhibitor and omega-fatty acid or HMG-CoA inhibitor and omega-fatty acid to reduce the method for apo-B (Apo-B) level.This method is particularly useful for treatment and suffers from the patient of hypertriglyceridemia or hypercholesterolemia or Combination dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease (CHD), angiopathy, atherosclerosis and associated conditions, and is used for prevention or reduces cardiovascular, heart and angiopathy (event).
Background of invention
In the mankind, cholesterol and triglyceride are the part protein-lipid complex in the blood flow, and can be separated into high density lipoprotein (HDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) (IDL), low density lipoprotein, LDL (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) (VLDL) fraction by supercentrifugation.Cholesterol and triglyceride synthesize in liver, and enter to VLDL, and are released in the blood plasma.High-caliber T-CHOL (always-C), LDL-C and apo-B (Apo-B, the membrane complex of LDL-C and VLDL-C) cause that atherosis and HDL-C of human artery and transferring composite thereof, apolipoprotein-A (Apo-A) level reduce, this is relevant with development of atherosclerosis.In addition, the variation of people's cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rate changes with the level of TC and LDL-C with being directly proportional and changes inversely with the level of HDL-C.In addition, research worker has been found that non--HDL cholesterol (non--HDL-C), it is determined by deduct HDL-C from TC, is the important indication of hypertriglyceridemia, angiopathy, atherosclerosis and associated conditions.Non--HDL-C granule contains Apo-B as film-compound apolipoprotein.Although non--HDL-C is good the measuring of the total amount of the cholesterol that exists in the atherogenic Apo-B of the containing granule, directly measure the measured value preferably that Apo-B can provide the atherogenic grain amount of per unit serum.
Although LDL-C has kept the lipid value that is generally used for estimating cardiovascular danger, Apo-B can reflect lipid danger preferably.Sniderman, Am.J.Cardiol.90 (suppl): 48i-54i (2002) summarizes at the evidence of predicting the LDL-C level that coronary heart disease is dangerous and be better than calculating for the value of supporting Apo-B.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the generalized term that comprises multiple disease and disease.It refers to any disease of the arbitrary part of various piece of the cardiovascular system of being made up of heart and all blood vessels of whole body.The disease of heart comprises coronary heart disease, CHD, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease (for example, constriction, atrium or ventricular septal defect), and heart failure.The disease of blood vessel comprises arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, hypertension, apoplexy, vascular dementia, aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease, intermittent claudication, vasculitis, vein incompetence, venous thrombosis, varicosis, and lymphedema.Some patients can receive its CVD of treatment, such as blood vessel or coronary artery revascularization (angioplasty that uses or do not use support to insert, or blood vessel transplantation).The cardiovascular diseases of some types is geneogenous, but a lot of for acquired in life, and owing to bad custom, such as sitting behavior and smoking.The CVD of some types also can cause further cardiac problems, get involved such as angina pectoris, main bad cardiovascular disease (MACEs) and/or main coronary artery disease (MCEs) such as myocardial infarction (MI) or coronary artery, perhaps even dead (heart or cardiovascular), this has emphasized to make great efforts the importance of treatment and prevention CVD.
The known risks and assumptions that reduces CVD is paid close attention in primary prevention work, or to stop their development, its purpose be the generation that delays or prevent CVD, MACEs or MCEs.Secondary prevention work is paid close attention to the recurrence and the reduction that reduce CVD and is suffered from mortality in said patients, MACEs or the MCEs that makes a definite diagnosis CVD.
MACEs comprises cardiac death, other cardiovascular death, (it comprises that myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary artery intervention are such as coronary artery revascularization to MCEs, angioplasty, percutaneous coronary endoluminal vascular plasty (PTCA), percutaneous coronary is got involved (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CAB) (CABG)), by being in hospital that unstable angina pectoris causes, apoplexy, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and by being in hospital and/or interventional therapy that peripheral arterial disease (PAD) causes.
National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults, the 3rd report (being also referred to as " NCEP ATP III ") of NIH PublicationNo.02-5215 (in JIUYUE, 2002), be hereby incorporated by, provide and reduced the suggestion for the treatment of about cholesterol reducing in the works of CHD risk.In ATP III, CHD is defined as symptom type ischemic heart disease, comprises MI, stable type or unstable angina pectoris, tests the myocardial ischemia of confirmation and the medical history of coronary artery surgery by no aggressive.This ATP III shows that LDL-C is the primary target of lipid treatment, and other lipid that needs to regulate comprises triglyceride (TG), non--HDL-C and HDL-C.Apo-B is listed in the risk factor of formation.And substituting the ATP III not preparation of LDL-C as the primary target of lipid treatment, it shows that limited epidemiology and clinical trial evidence are supported in that Apo-B is better than LDL-C in the danger forecasting.
The guideline of ATP III is to regulate the intensity of the treatment that reduces LDL-C to be adapted to the absolute risk of individual CHD.The risk evaluation be divided into short-term (≤10-) and long-term (＞10-) CHD risk, and LDL-C target (goal) is correspondingly regulated.In addition, ATP III has proved conclusively the three class risks of CHD, and it improves the LDL-C target: the CHD of conclusive evidence and CHD risk equivalent (risk equivalents), multiple (2+) risk factor and 0-1 risk factor.The CHD and the CHD risk equivalent of conclusive evidence comprise CHD, other clinical atherosclerosis, diabetes and multiple risk factor, and 10-risk＞20% of CHD.The main independently risk factor of proving conclusively in the risk factor of counting comprises smoking (cigarette smoking), hypertension, low HDL-C, sends out family history and the age of CHD morning.
The LDL-C target of three class risk factors is as follows:
| Risk factor | The LDL-C target |
| CHD and CHD risk equivalent | ＜100mg/dl |
| Multiple (2+) risk factor | ＜130mg/dl * |
| The 0-1 risk factor | ＜160mg/dl |
*For have the 10-risk＞the LDL-C target of 20% people's multiple risk factor is＜100mg/dl.
ATP III has also listed the percentile LDL-C target based on the 10-risk of CHD:
| The 10-risk | The LDL-C target |
| ＞20％ | ＜100mg/dl |
| 10-20％ | ＜130mg/dl |
| ＜10% and multiple (2+) risk factor | ＜130mg/dl |
| ＜10% and the 0-1 risk factor | ＜160mg/dl |
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor (be called the HMG-CoA inhibitor, or " inhibin "), be used to treat for example hyperlipemia and atherosclerosis.Typically, the inhibin monotherapy has been used for the treatment of cholesterol levels, especially as patient during not in acceptable LDL-C level.Inhibin inhibitory enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, the speed that this enzyme control volume inner cholesterol produces.Thereby inhibin by slowing down cholesterol generation and the ability by increasing liver to remove already present LDL-C cholesterol reducing in the blood.Therefore, the main effect of inhibin is to reduce the LDL-C level.Inhibin has demonstrated and has reduced CHD risk about 1/3rd.Yet inhibin only demonstrates has suitable effect to the TG-HDL axle.
Marine oil is also referred to as fish oil usually, is the good source of two kinds of omega-fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexenoic acid (DHA)), has been found that its scalable lipid metabolism.Have been found that omega-fatty acid to the cardiovascular diseases, mild hypertension especially, the risk factor of hypertriglyceridemia and have useful effect for coagulation factor VII phosphatide complexes activity.Omega-fatty acid reduces serum triglycerides, increases serum hdl-cholesterol, reduces systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate, and the activity that reduces blood coagulation factor VII phosphatide complexes.In addition, omega-fatty acid appears as well tolerable, and does not cause any serious adverse.
A kind of omega-fatty acid of this type of form is the concentrate of the ω-3 that obtains from fish oil, long-chain, polyunsaturated fatty acid, and it contains DHA and EPA, and it is with trade mark
Sell, be called Lovaza now
TMThe omega-fatty acid of one this type of form of class is described in, for example, United States Patent (USP) 5,502,077,5,656,667 and 5,698,594, be hereby incorporated by separately.
Suffer from blood levels that the patient of Combination dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia and/or hypercholesterolemia has LDL-C usually greater than 190mg/dl, triglyceride levels is 200mg/dl or higher, and/or the Apo-B level is greater than 0.9g/l.In many patients that suffer from hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia and/or Combination dyslipidemia, the use of diet and single medicine therapy can not fully reduce LDL-C, triglyceride and/or Apo-B level usually to reach desired value.In these patients, need the complementary combinations treatment of inhibin and omega-fatty acid.
Many researchs after testing the synergy of omega-fatty acid and inhibin treatment to the Apo-B level.Although the most of conclusive evidence of these researchs inhibin reduces the Apo-B level significantly, most studies is also reported and is used the treatment of increase omega-fatty acid not reduce the Apo-B level significantly.
People such as Hong have studied fish oil and the effect of simvastatin in the patient who suffers from coronary heart disease and Combination dyslipidemia.The patient who has the baseline triglyceride levels and be 292.8mg/dl or 269.5mg/dl uses 10-20mg/ days Simvastatin Treatment 6-12 weeks at first.After this patient uses simvastatin and placebo or simvastatin and 3g/ days fish oil (Meilekang
TM) treatment.Compare with placebo with baseline, combined therapy is the triglyceride reducing level significantly.In addition, compare, increased the HDL-C level on the combined therapy numerical value, and reduced the LDL-C level on the numerical value with baseline.Yet the variation of this HDL-C level and LDL-C level is not significant on the statistics.The level of Apo-B raises in the combined therapy group, and the Apo-B level reduces on the numerical value in placebo group.People such as Hong, Chin.Med.Sci.J.19:145-49 (2004).
People such as Contacos have studied the effect to the patient that suffers from combined hyperlipidemia of fish oil and pravastatin.To having the baseline triglyceride levels is that the patient of 4.6 to 5.5mmol/l (404 to 483mg/dl) originally treated for 6 weeks, uses 40mg/ days pravastatins, 6g/ days fish oil (Himega
TM, contain the omega-fatty acid of 3g, wherein the EPA/DHA ratio is 2: 1), or placebo.After this, all patients treated for 12 weeks again with pravastatin and fish oil.The treatment of initial use pravastatin reduces the LDL-C level significantly.The combined therapy of pravastatin and fish oil has also reduced triglyceride and LDL-C level significantly.Yet, fish oil being joined the pravastatin monotherapy cause the only increase on the numerical value of LDL-C level, it is not significant on the statistics.Use treatment with fish oil triglyceride reducing level significantly separately, but do not increase the LDL-C level.Compare (not comparing with baseline) with the independent treatment of fish oil, the combined therapy of this group reduces the LDL-C level significantly.Use the pravastatin treatment to reduce the Apo-B level significantly.Numerically reduce the Apo-B level further with the combined therapy of fish oil, however it is reported this further reduce compare with the pravastatin monotherapy not remarkable.People such as Contacos, Arterioscl.Thromb.13:1755-62 (1993).
People such as Grekas have reported about the pravastatin of the low-dosage in the dyslipidemia after renal transplantation and the combined therapy of fish oil.(T-CHOL＞200mg/dl) and the 30 routine renal transplant recipients that are in immunosuppressant therapy give standard diet 4 weeks, then treat for 8 weeks with the 20mg pravastatin to having the persistence hypercholesterolemia.Baseline triglyceride levels in the diet stage is 184mg/dl.Be the standard diet in other 4 weeks after this stage, use the 20mg pravastatin to add 1g fish oil (Prolipid) 8 weeks of treatment then.Baseline triglyceride levels in the diet stage is 169mg/dl.The Apo-B level uses diet+inhibin treatment significantly not reduce.Yet, it is reported that diet+inhibin+fish oil has reduced the Apo-B level significantly.People such as Grekas, Nephron (2001) 88:329-333.People's results of study such as Grekas appear as uncertain, and given independent use pravastatin is treated this research and do not demonstrated and reduce the Apo-B level significantly.Show
(pravastatin) reduces the Apo-B level that raises as the additive of diet in the patient who suffers from primary hypercholesterolemia and Combination dyslipidemia.Therefore, people such as Grekas studies and uses pravastatin not demonstrate the fact that significant Apo-B reduces to make that this result of study is queried.
People such as Huff find that the combination of diet fish oil and lovastatin is reduced in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) (VLDL) in the piglets and the Apo-B level in low density lipoprotein, LDL (LDL) fraction.Yet combined therapy and fish oil monotherapy have only been compared in this research, and not comparison combination treatment and inhibin monotherapy.People such as Huff, Arteroscl.Thromb., 12 (8): 901-910 (August 1992).
People such as Jula have studied the effect to hypercholesterolemia male patient's multiple serum lipids of diet and simvastatin.After the open placebo phase, the patient is assigned as " habitual diet " or " diet treatment " group.The diet treatment is made of Mediterranean cuisine (Mediterranean-type diet), wherein is no more than 10% energy and comes from saturated and trans-undersaturated fatty acid; The cholesterol picked-up is no more than 250mg/ days; The omega-fatty acid picked-up in plant and source, ocean is 4g/ days at least, and the ratio of ω-6 fatty acid and omega-fatty acid is less than 4; And the picked-up of fruit, vegetable and soluble fiber increases.Then the patient is assigned as with double blinding, cross-mode and accepts 20mg/ days simvastatins or 12 weeks of placebo.Patient in Diet Therapy group and simvastatin group has reduced the Apo-B level significantly.It is reported that the interaction between two variablees is significant.People such as Jula, JAMA 287 (5): 598-605 (2002).
U.S. Patent Application Publication requires to comprise a kind of method by drug treatment Drug therapy patient for No. 2003/0170643, (post-ERpre-secretory proteolysis PERPP) reduces Apo-B and/or contain the lipoprotein of Apo-B-and/or the plasma concentration of the composition of atherogenic lipoprotein to the proteolysis of this medicine before by secretion behind the stimulating er.
After deliberation inhibin and
The effect of omega-fatty acid.For example, people such as Hansen studied lovastatin (40mg/ days) with 6g/ days
Omega-fatty acid makes up the effect to the patient who suffers from hypercholesterolemia.The patient who has the baseline triglyceride levels and be 1.66mmol/l (about 146mg/dl) used 6g/ days
Treated for 6 weeks, then use 40mg/ days lovastatins to treat other 6 weeks, and
With last 6 weeks of lovastatin combined therapy.The lovastatin monotherapy causes increasing the HDL-C level significantly, and triglyceride reducing and LDL-C level significantly.Behind the combined therapy, triglyceride and LDL-C level reduce further significantly.The Apo-B level uses the lovastatin monotherapy to reduce significantly, and further numerically reduces Apo-B when adding omega-fatty acid, although this further reduction does not show that or not is significant comparing with the lovastatin monotherapy.People such as Hansen, Arterioscl.Thromb.14 (2): 223-229 (February 1994).
People such as Nordoy have studied the effect for the patient who suffers from hyperlipemia of atorvastatin and omega-fatty acid.The patient who has the baseline triglyceride levels and be 3.84mmol/l (about 337mg/dl) or 4.22mmol/l (about 371mg/dl) uses 10mg/ days atorvastatins to treat for 5 weeks.After this, the atorvastatin treatment was used 2g/ days
Or placebo carries out other 5 weeks of supplement therapy.Compare with baseline, the atorvastatin monotherapy has increased the HDL-C level significantly, and triglyceride, LDL-C and Apo-B level reduce significantly.Compare with independent atorvastatin, combined therapy further increases the HDL-C level.Compare with the atorvastatin monotherapy, further reduce slightly on the numerical value when triglyceride, LDL-C and Apo-B level are used combined therapy; Yet this reduction is not remarkable.People such as Nordoy, Nutr.Metab.Cardiovasc.Dis. (2001) 11:7-16.
People such as Chan have studied atorvastatin (40mg/ days) and the 4g/ days 4 under fasting state to the male patient who suffers from dyslipidemia obesity, insulin-opposing
Combined therapy.Having the baseline triglyceride levels is 6 weeks of patient treatment of 1.7 to 2.0mmol/l (about 150 to 170mg/dl), uses: 40mg/ days atorvastatins and placebo; 4g/ days
And placebo; Atorvastatin and
Combination; Or the combination of placebo.The atorvastatin monotherapy reduces the Apo-B level significantly.Compare with placebo group, combined therapy also reduces the Apo-B level significantly.Yet, by
Caused effect is not remarkable.People such as Chan, Diabetes, 51:2377-2386 (Aug.2002).
People such as Nordoy have studied 40mg/ days lovastatins and 6g/ days
(being also referred to as " K-85 ") do not have the effectiveness of the combined therapy among cardiovascular diseases's the patient in the hypercholesterolemia of suffering from family.This research comprises 3 interventional therapy cycles, each 6 time-of-week, and the washing time by 6 weeks interrupts.Carry out behind the interventional therapy 12 weeks of final test the last time.Use the omega-fatty acid monotherapy that the Apo-B level is numerically reduced slightly, and use the lovastatin monotherapy that the Apo-B level is reduced significantly.Compare with baseline, combined therapy also lowers the Apo-B level significantly.Yet this reduction does not show that it is compared with the lovastatin monotherapy is significant.People such as Nordoy, Essent.Fatty Acids Eicosanoids, Invited Pap.Int ' l Congr.4th, 256-61 (1998).
People such as Nordoy have also studied effectiveness and the safety of using simvastatin and omega-fatty acid to treat in suffering from the patient of hyperlipemia.The patient who has the baseline triglyceride levels and be 2.76mmol/l (about 243mg/dl) or a 3.03mmol/l (about 266mg/dl) uses 20mg/ days simvastatins or 5 weeks of placebo treatment, and all then patients use 20mg/ days other 5 weeks of Simvastatin Treatment.After this, the patient re-uses 4g/ days
Or other 5 weeks of placebo treatment.Administration omega-fatty acid and simvastatin have caused the moderate reduction of serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels to reduce, and the reduction on the little numerical value of Apo-B level.Yet the effect of omega-fatty acid is not remarkable.People such as Nordoy, J.of Internal Medicine, 243:163-170 (1998).
People detection such as Durrington
Effectiveness, safety and toleration among the patient who is combined in the hypertriglyceridemia of proving conclusively coronary heart disease and continuing of ω-3 acid and simvastatin.Patient's (the average patient serum triglyceride level is 4.6mmol/l) with average baselining triglyceride levels＞2.3mmol/l uses 10-40mg/ days simvastatins and 2g/ days in double-blind trial
Or 24 weeks of placebo treatment, thereafter in open research two groups all accept
Other 24 weeks.Compare with the baseline monotherapy, combined therapy has reduced triglyceride levels significantly in 12 weeks.In addition, the VLDL cholesterol levels in these patients has reduced 30-40%.Compare with the baseline monotherapy, the LDL-C level only reduces after 48 weeks significantly, although (not remarkable on the statistics) reduces on 12 and 24 all numerical value.Use omega-fatty acid and simvastatin monotherapy, the Apo-B level demonstrates the reduction of (not remarkable on the statistics) on the slight numerical value.People such as Durrington, Heart, 85:544-548 (2001).
