The present invention relates to a method for detecting markers of fibroblast activation in a patient by sandwich immunoassay to identify patients, particularly cancer patients who would benefit from anti-TGFβI therapy. The markers of fibroblast activation may be selected from the N-terminal pro-peptide of Collagen III (Pro-C3), the N-terminal pro-peptide of Collagen VI (Pro-C6), the N-terminal pro-peptide of Collagen I (Pro-C1) and/or an internal sequence in the N-terminal region of type 3 collagen (P3NP). The invention also provides an anti-TGFβI therapy for use in the treatment of cancer and/or fibrosis.
Disclosed herein are calcitonin mimetics that are acylated at a lysine residue located at the 11 position or 19 position of the calcitonin mimetic, and the use thereof as medicaments in the treatment of various diseases and disorders, including diabetes, excess bodyweight, excessive food consumption and metabolic syndrome, NASH, alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the regulation of blood glucose levels, the regulation of response to glucose tolerance tests, the regulation of food intake, and the treatment of osteoporosis and the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists and uses thereof
The present disclosure related to the field of medicine. More particularly, the disclosure is in the field of treatment of diabetes, obesity, and/or dyslipidemia. The disclosure relates to compounds that agonize both the calcitonin and amylin receptors and can lower food intake, body weight, glucose and/or triglycerides, so can be used to treat diabetes, obesity and/or dyslipidemia. The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and therapeutic uses of such compounds and compositions.

Disclosed herein are oxyntomodulin mimetics, and their use as medicaments in the treatment of various diseases and disorders including, but not limited to, excess bodyweight, excessive food consumption, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes (Type I and Type II), obesity, the regulation of blood glucose levels, the regulation of response to glucose tolerance tests, and the regulation of food intake.
The present invention relates to novel dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists, specifically calcitonin-like amylinomimetic therapeutic agents, and extends to their use as medicaments in the treatment of various diseases and disorders, such as diabetes (Type I and Type II), obesity, excess bodyweight, excessive food consumption and metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, producing a decrease in liver triglycerides, reducing fat accumulation in the liver of a subject, the regulation of blood glucose levels, the regulation of response to glucose tolerance tests, the regulation of food intake, the treatment of osteoporosis and the treatment of osteoarthritis.
A61P 1/16 - Drugs for disorders of the alimentary tract or the digestive system for liver or gallbladder disorders, e.g. hepatoprotective agents, cholagogues, litholytics
The present invention relates to humanised calcitonin mimetics and their use in treating diabetes (Type I and/or Type II), excess bodyweight, excessive food consumption, metabolic syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis, poorly regulated blood glucose levels, poorly regulated response to glucose tolerance tests, or poor regulation of food intake.
