Title:
COMBINATION OF EGF/GHRP-6 FOR NEUROGENERATION OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006092106
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention is intended to simulate neuroregeneration of the central nervous system following autoimmune damage. More specifically, the invention relates to the pharmaceutical combination comprising therapeutically-effective concentrations of epidermal growth factor and human growth hormone secretagogue hexapeptide, which is administered to a patient suffering from the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica and which corrects demyelination caused by autoreactive cells in the central nervous system.
