Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9846249A1] The invention provides methods and compositions for providing chronic gastrointestinal ulcer healing or acute gastroprotection. In particular, administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of VEGF, such as from about 30 ng/kg to about 1000 mu g/kg per day for about a week to two months results in healing of GI ulcers in a mammal, such as a human. Examples of gastrointestinal ulcers include duodenal ulcers, peptic ulcers, drug-induced ulcers, or intestinal ulcers, including but not limited to damage due to non-steroidal (NSAID) and anti-inflammatory drugs, gastro-esphogheal reflux disease or inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Similarly, administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of VEGF, such as from about 3 mu g/kg to about 1000 mu g/kg VEGF, from 0 minutes to about 60 minutes prior to potential injury to the GI tract, such as ingestion of an NSAID or ethanol, results in acute gastroprotection.
