Title:
METHOD FOR ACHIEVING DESIRED GLIAL GROWTH FACTOR 2 PLASMA LEVELS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/108390
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to administering glial growth factor 2 (GGF2) to a patient in need thereof, to achieve serum levels of GGF2 within a desired therapeutic window determined based on the disease or disorder afflicting the patient. In a particular embodiment, the patient is suffering from a disease or disorder associated with reduced levels of myelination and the GGF2 is administered to promote myelination in the patient.
