Definitions
- This invention relates to methods of treating, preventing and/or managing central nervous system injury/damage and related syndromes which comprise the administration of an immunomodulatory compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, stereoisomer, clathrate, or prodrug thereof.
- Central nervous system (CNS) injury/damage can be classified into three categories: (a) CNS injury/damage caused by mechanical damage to the brain; (b) CNS injury/damage caused by reduced blood supply to the brain, which can occur in ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, or as a result of hypoxia; and (c) CNS injury/damage related to the spinal cord injury caused by trauma, infection or toxicity.
- Traumatic brain injury is an example of mechanical damage, and one of the leading causes of death and lifelong disability in the United States today. Greenwald et al. , Arch Phys. Med. Rehabil. 2003; 84 (3 Supp.l): S3.
- the pathophysiology of TBI can be separated into primary injury and secondary injury. Id, p. S4.
- Primary injury occurs at the time of impact, while secondary injury occurs after the impact secondary to the body's response to primary injury.
- Id Each of primary and secondary injuries can be subdivided into focal and diffuse types.
- Focal injury tends to be caused by contact forces, whereas diffuse injury is likely to be caused by noncontact, acceleration-deceleration, or rotational forces. Id.
- Primary injury include scalp injury, skull fracture, basilar skull fracture, concussion, contusion, intracranial hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, penetrating injuries, and diffuse axonal injury.
- Primary focal injury is caused by cortical contusions and intracranial hematomas. Greenwald et al, p. S4. Contusions usually occur after direct injuries over bony prominences of the skull. The commonly affected areas are the orbitofrontal and anterotemporal regions. Id.
- Intracranial hematomas are divided into epidural hematomas, subdural hematomas, and subarachnoid hemorrhages.
- Epidural hematomas result from rupture of the middle meningeal artery. Id. They cause focal injury by increasing pressure over a cortical region of the brain.
- Subdural hematomas and subarachnoid hemorrhage occur as a result of disruption of the bridging vessels in their respective spaces. Id. Both cause focal injury due to increased intracranial pressure (ICP).
- ICP intracranial pressure
- Diffuse axonal injury is caused by forces associated with acceleration- deceleration and rotational injuries. Greenwald et al, p. S5. This type of injury most commonly occurs during the high-impact collisions of motor vehicle accidents. The injury can also be due to contact sports.
- DAI is an axonal shearing injury of the axons that is most often observed in the midline structures, including the parasagittal white matter of the cerebral cortex, the corpus callosum, and the pontine-mesencephalic junction adjacent to the superior cerebral peduncles.
- Posttraumatic syndrome may develop following traumatic injury.
- the syndromes include hydrocephalus, altered level of consciousness, headache, migraine, nausea, emesis, memory loss, dizziness, diplopia, blurred vision, emotional lability, sleep disturbances, irritability, inability to concentrate, nervousness, behavioral impairment, cognitive deficit, and epilepsy. Seizures are commonly observed with contusions, depressed skull fracture and severe head injury. Intracranial infections are another potential complication of TBI. When basilar skull fractures or cerebrospinal fluid fistulae is present, the risk of infection is increased. In addition, if a patient has a ventriculostomy for ICP monitoring, the risk of infection is also increased for either a ventriculitis or meningitis.
- CNS injury/damage includes neurochemical and cellular changes, hypotension, hypoxia, ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, increased ICP with decreased cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and a risk of herniation.
- CCP cerebral perfusion pressure
- Acute loss of circulation to an area of the brain results in ischemia and a corresponding loss of neurologic function.
- strokes typically manifest with the sudden onset of focal neurologic deficits, such as weakness, sensory deficit, or difficulties with language.
- Ischemic strokes have a heterogeneous group of causes, including thrombosis, embolism, and hypoperfusion, whereas hemorrhagic strokes can be either intraparenchymal or subarachnoid.
- thrombosis thrombosis
- embolism embolism
- hypoperfusion hypoperfusion
- hemorrhagic strokes can be either intraparenchymal or subarachnoid.
- neurons cease functioning, and irreversible neuronal ischemia and injury begin at blood flow rates of less than 18 mL/100 mg/min.
- the processes involved in stroke injury at the cellular level are referred to as the ischemic cascade.
- the ischemic cascade Within seconds to minutes of the loss of glucose and oxygen delivery to neurons, the cellular ischemic cascade begins. The process begins with cessation of the electrophysiologic function of the cells.
- the resultant neuronal and glial injury produces edema in the ensuing hours to days after stroke, causing further injury to the surrounding neuronal tissues.
- CNS injury or spinal cord injury can lead to activated glial cells (microglia or astrocytes) with subsequent release of cytokines, chemokines, and other mediators of inflammation, in addition to glutamate.
- glial cells microglia or astrocytes
- SCI Spinal cord injury
- SCI secondary SCI
- the pathophysiology of secondary SCI involves a multitude of cellular and molecular events which progress over the first few days after injury. CH. Tator, Brain Pathology 5:407-413 (1995).
- the most important cause of secondary SCI is vascular injury to the spinal cord caused by arterial disruption, arterial thrombosis, and hypoperfusion due to shock.
- SCI can be sustained through ischemia from damage or impingement on the spinal arteries. SCI due to ischemia can occur during surgery where aortic blood flow is temporarily stopped.
- Spinal cord injury can be caused by infections.
- Infections involving the spinal canal include epidural abscesses (infection in the epidural space), meningitis (infection of the meninges), subdural abscesses (infections of the subdural space), and intramedullary abscesses (infections within the spinal cord).
- Mechanisms of the infections include hematogenous spread from an extraspinal focus of infection, contiguous spread from an adjacent focus of infection, direct inoculation (i.e., penetrating trauma or postneurosurgery), and cryptogenic mechanisms (i.e., no documented extraspinal focus of infection).
- Bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci, are the most common organisms responsible for these infections. However, infections also may be viral, fungal, or caused by cysticercosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Listeria monocytogenes, Toxoplasma gondii, or other parasites. Initially, the area of the bacterial nidus is infiltrated with polymorphonuclear cells, leading to a suppurative myelitis. This evolves into central necrosis and liquefaction, which can spread along the long spinal tracts. At the periphery of this infectious process, fibroblasts proliferate, and the central purulent area becomes encapsulated by fibrous granulation tissue. The most commonly affected area is the dorsal thoracic spinal cord.
- Spinal cord injury can also be caused by toxicity. Tator, p. 408-9.
- One of the most compelling toxicity in spinal cord injury is the accumulation and subsequent damage exerted by the excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter. Glutamate induced excitotoxicity causes an elevation of intracellular calcium.
- Raised intracellular calcium can in turn cause activation of calcium dependent proteases or lipases which cause further damage due to breakdown of cytoskeletal components including neurofilaments and dissolution of cell membranes.
- the excess production of arachidonic acid and eicosanoids such as prostaglandins may be related to lipid peroxidation and oxygen free radicals.
- vasoactive eicosanoids from damaged neuronal membranes may in turn cause progressive posttraumatic ischemia by inducing vasospasm.
- Endogenous opioids may also be involved in the secondary injury process either by their effects on the local or systemic circulation or by direct effects on the injured cord. Id.
- Increased intracellular calcium appears to trigger neurotoxicity in a variety of ways. There are major electrolyte shifts between the extracellular and intracellular compartments and vice versa after spinal cord injury. Tator, p. 409. An excess of free intracellular calcium ions plays a fundamental role in mediating the pathogenesis of all neural injuries, but especially ischemia and traumatic injuries. Id., p. 410. After trauma, calcium can shift into neurons in a variety of ways such as through disrupted cell membranes, or by depolarization and entry through voltage sensitive calcium channels, or through receptor mediated calcium channels activated by glutamate. Id. Secondary ischemia can also increase intracellular calcium through glutamate release. Id. Significant and progressive edema can follow spinal cord injury. Tator, p.
- Incomplete cord lesions may evolve into more complete lesions. More commonly, the injury level rises one or two spinal levels during the hours to days after the initial event. Id.
- Other classifications of SCI include central cord syndrome, Brown-Sequard syndrome, anterior cord syndrome, conus medullaris syndrome and cauda equina syndrome.
- Central cord syndrome is often associated with a cervical region injury leading to greater weakness in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs with sacral sensory sparing.
- Brown- Sequard syndrome involves a hemisection lesion of the cord, causing a relatively greater ipsilateral proprioceptive and motor loss with contralateral loss of sensitivity to pain and temperature.
- Anterior cord syndrome is often associated with a lesion causing variable loss of motor function and sensitivity to pain and temperature, while proprioception is preserved.
- Conus medullaris syndrome is associated with injury to the sacral cord and lumbar nerve roots. This syndrome is characterized by areflexia in the bladder, bowel, and lower limbs, while the sacral segments occasionally may show preserved reflexes (e.g., bulbocavernosus and micturition reflexes).
- Cauda equina syndrome is due to injury to the lumbosacral nerve roots in the spinal canal, leading to areflexic bladder, bowel, and lower limbs.
- Neurogenic shock can result from SCI. CH. Tator, Brain Pathology 5:407-413 (1995). Neurogenic shock refers to the hemodynamic triad of hypotension, bradycardia, and peripheral vasodilation resulting from autonomic dysfunction and the interruption of sympathetic nervous system control in acute SCI, and is differentiated from spinal and hypovolemic shock. Hypovolemic shock tends to be associated with tachycardia. Spinal shock is defined as the complete loss of all neurologic function, including reflexes and rectal tone, below a specific level that is associated with autonomic dysfunction. An initial increase in blood pressure is noted due to the release of catecholamines, followed by hypotension. Flaccid paralysis, including of the bowel and bladder, is observed, and sometimes sustained priapism develops. These symptoms tend to last several hours to days until the reflex arcs below the level of the injury begin to function again.

- Disintegrants are used in the compositions of the invention to provide tablets that disintegrate when exposed to an aqueous environment. Tablets that contain too much disintegrant may disintegrate in storage, while those that contain too little may not disintegrate at a desired rate or under the desired conditions. Thus, a sufficient amount of disintegrant that is neither too much nor too little to detrimentally alter the release of the active ingredients should be used to form solid oral dosage forms of the invention.
