- METHODS FOR TREATING CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME AND MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS
-
In one aspect the invention relates to a method of treatment selected from the group consisting of: (a) treating a symptom such as pain in a subject identified or diagnosed as having Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS); (b) treating a symptom such as pain in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity; (c) restoring NK cell function in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity; and (d) restoring calcium homeostasis in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity. The method comprises the step of administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one therapeutic compound selected from the group consisting of: (i) an opioid receptor antagonist; (ii) an opioid antagonist; and (iii) a therapeutic compound that restores TRPM3 ion channel activity. In some embodiments the therapeutic compound is naltrexone hydrochloride.

- THERAPY FOR COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES
-
A method for enhancing glycemic control and/or insulin sensitivity in a human subject having diabetic nephropathy and/or metabolic syndrome comprises administering to the subject a selective endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist in a glycemic control and/or insulin sensitivity enhancing effective amount. A method for treating a complex of comorbidities in an elderly diabetic human subject comprises administering to the subject a selective ETA receptor antagonist in combination or as adjunctive therapy with at least one additional agent that is (i) other than a selective ETA receptor antagonist and (ii) effective in treatment of diabetes and/or at least one of said comorbidities other than hypertension. A therapeutic combination useful in such a method comprises a selective ETA receptor antagonist and at least one antidiabetic, anti-obesity or antidyslipidemic agent other than a selective ETA receptor antagonist.

- ANTIHYPERTENSIVE THERAPY
-
A new use of darusentan is provided in preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for lowering blood pressure in a patient exhibiting resistance to a baseline antihypertensive therapy with one or more drugs. The composition comprises darusentan in an amount providing a therapeutically effective daily dose; wherein (a) the composition is orally deliverable and/or (b) the daily dose of darusentan is effective to provide a reduction of at least about 3 mmHg in one or more blood pressure parameters selected from trough sitting systolic, trough sitting diastolic, 24-hour ambulatory systolic, 24-hour ambulatory diastolic, maximum diurnal systolic and maximum diurnal diastolic blood pressures. Further provided is a new use of darusentan in preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for lowering blood pressure in a patient exhibiting resistance to a baseline antihypertensive therapy, wherein the composition is administered adjunctively with at least one diuretic and at least one antihypertensive drug selected from ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, beta-adrenergic receptor blockers and calcium channel blockers.

- Method for treating resistant hypertension
-
A method is provided for lowering blood pressure in a patient having clinically diagnosed resistant hypertension. The method comprises administering darusentan to the patient adjunctively with a baseline antihypertensive regimen that comprises administration of at least one diuretic and at least two antihypertensive drugs selected from at least two of (a) ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers, (b) beta-adrenergic receptor blockers and (c) calcium channel blockers. The darusentan is orally administered at a dose and frequency effective, in combination with the baseline regimen, to provide a reduction of at least about 3 mmHg in one or more blood pressure parameters selected from trough sitting systolic, trough sitting diastolic, 24-hour ambulatory systolic, 24-hour ambulatory diastolic, maximum diurnal systolic and maximum diurnal diastolic blood pressures.
