Acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammatory disorder of the pancreas for which there are currently no approved medical therapies. With approximately 300,000 hospitalizations per year (an increase of more than 2-fold since 1988), AP represents the single most frequent gastrointestinal cause of hospital admissions in the US.
Based on the broad anti-inflammatory properties of C1INH, pdC1INH and rhC1INH have been studied in a variety of clinical conditions and animal models of numerous conditions involving contact and complement system activation with a vascular/capillary leak component. These studies have included models of pancreatitis, sepsis, thermal injury, xenotransplantation, and ischemia-reperfusion injury (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke, delayed graft function in transplantation). Together, this experience suggests that rhC1INH may be able to interrupt the pro-inflammatory processes in patients with AP, and thereby resolve the ongoing SIRS to ultimately prevent organ failure.
Zal ook leuk wezen als er in de nabije toekomst ook hiervoor een product van Pharming op de markt komt.
En zeker ook voor de patiënten .
