"POLYSACCHARIDE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE FOR THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF DISORDERS ASSOCIATED WITH PROGENITOR CELL MOBILIZATION “
"[0064] The invention includes methods for treating a subject having, or at risk of having, a metastatic disorder (e.g., a cancer, e.g., a carcinoma or other solid and hematological cancer). In those subjects, treatment may include, but is not limited to, inhibited tumor growth, reduction in tumor mass, reduction in size or number of metastatic lesions, inhibited development of new metastatic lesions, prolonged survival, prolonged progression-free survival, prolonged time to progression, and/or enhanced quality of life. In another embodiment, the subject may have a disorder or condition selected from the group consisting of: an inflammatory disorder, an autoimmune disease, a fibrotic or fibroproliferative disorder or an atopic disorder. Examples of inflammatory disorders include but are not limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis), multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, septic shock, age-related macular degeneration (e.g., wet age-related macular degeneration), atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, vasculitis, type I and II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, diabetic retinopathy, restenosis. Examples of autoimmune diseases include but are not limited to asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, type I diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren's syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, Myasthenia gravis. Examples of fibrotic diseases include but are not limited to scleroderma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetic nephropathy, sarcoidosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, liver fibrosis, pancreatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, endometriosis, post-operative fibroids, restenosis. Examples of atopic disease include but are not limited to atopic dermatitis, atopic asthma, and allergic rhinitis. The compositions of the invention are administered to a subject having or at risk of developing one or more of the diseases in an effective amount for treating the disorder or condition. “
