- Pharmaceutical compositions and methods for administering EP2 receptor selective agonists
-
This invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions and methods comprising prostglandin agonists, specifically EP2 receptor selective agonists, which are useful to enhance bone repair and healing and restore or augment bone mass in vertebrates, particularly mammals. The EP2 receptor selective agonists of the present invention are effective in the treatment of conditions such as those in which the patient has delayed or non-union fracture, bone defect, spinal fusion, bone in-growth, cranial facial reconstruction or bone sites at risk for fracture.

- Controlled release polymeric compositions of bone growth promoting compounds
-
The present invention is directed to an improved system for controlled release of a bone growth promoting compound and to a flowable composition for its formation. The flowable composition is composed of a bone growth promoting compound, a thermoplastic polymer and an organic solvent. The flowable composition is capable of forming a biodegradable and/or bioerodible microporous, solid polymer matrix. The matrix is useful as an implant in patients (humans and animals) for delivery of a bone growth promoting compound to certain tissues.

- Treatment of osteoporsis with EP2/EP4 receptor selective agonists
-
This invention is directed to methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising prostaglandin agonists which are userful to prevent bone loss, restore or augment bone mass and to enhance bone healing including the treatment of conditions which present with low bone mass, such as osteoporosis, and/or bone defects in vertebrates, and particularly mammals, including humans. This invention specifically relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising combinations of EP2 receptor selective agonists and EP4 receptor selective agonists and to methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising agents which are agonists for both the EP2 receptor and the EP4 receptor.
