The invention relates to pharmaceutical administration forms with sustained release comprising at least one pharmacologically active peptide. The invention also relates to a method for the production thereof, a kit comprising a lyophilised peptide and an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt or acetic acid salt and the use of an aqueous solution of an inorganic or acetic acid salt for producing a pharmaceutical administration form which releases peptides in a continuous manner over a long period of time.

Administration form for pharmaceutically active peptides with sustained release and method for the production thereof

The invention relates to peptides which contain N-methylated amino acid units and have improved water solubility. The invention also relates methods for treating a hormone-dependent tumor or a non-malignant indication that is treatable by LH-RH suppression, the method comprising administering to a patient in need of the treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention. Hormone-dependent cancers that can be treated with the methods of the invention include prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Non-malignant indications which can be treated by the methods of the invention include benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), endometriosis, acne, polycystic ovarian disease, dysmenorrhea, precocious puberty, and uterine fibroids and other leiomyomas.

Methods of treatment using novel LHRH antagonists having improved solubility properties

The invention relates to peptides which contain N-methylated amino acid units and have improved water solubility. Medicaments in which the peptides according to the invention are contained can be used for the treatment of hormone-dependent tumors and hormone-influenced non-malignant disorders.
