摘要

Compositions and methods useful in therapy for IGF-I-responsive conditions in a mammal are provided. The method comprises concurrent therapy with both IGF-I or a variant thereof and at least one GAG to promote a desired therapeutic response with respect to a particular IGF-I- responsive condition. Concurrent therapy is achieved by admininstering to a mammal a single pharmaceutical composition containing both IGF-I (or a variant thereof) and at least one GAG according to a dosing regimen. Alternatively, IGF-I or a variant thereof and at least one GAG can be administered as two separate pharmaceutical compositions. A pharmaceutical composition comprising IGF-I or a variant thereof and at least one GAG for use in the IGF-I and GAG therapy is also provided.
