Human relaxin-2 as active ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition for treating a subject exhibiting cachexia syndrome or cardiac wasting or cardiac decompensation. The application also describes methods of treating cachexia, cardiac wasting and patients exhibiting clinical signs of suffering from cardiac decompensation. Further described is a method of using a patch pump for subcutaneous or intravenous infusion of relaxin or human relaxin-2.
Relaxera Pharmazeutische GmbH & Co.KG 36 IDK00257PC 20-Nov-23 SUMMARY. A pharmaceutical composition for daily (q.d.) or twice daily (b.i.d.) subcutaneous injection of a bolus of human relaxin-2 or a complex of relaxin-2 and zinc for a period of at least one week, preferably three to twelve months, and injection pens for treating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, atrial fibrillation, a patient suffering from diabetes and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and/or atrial fibrillation; for producing the protective effects of synthetic human relaxin-2 associated with ischemic heart disease, including the reduction of inflammatory leukocyte and platelet responses, inhibition of the release of proinflammatory and arrhythmogenic mediators by leukocytes and mast cells and other harmful substances generated by inflammation, oxidative stress, and necrosis, for use as a broad-spectrum replacement of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, corticosteroids and their analogues in the treatment of tissue and endothelial injury without inducing gluconeogenesis and cushingoid adverse effects; for supporting the repair of tissue and endothelial injuries by promoting immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Treg), particularly, in autoimmune pathologies and organ transplantation.

Abstract
A pharmaceutical composition for treatment of persons afflicted of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), diastolic heart failure (DHF) or diastolic dysfunction (DF), the composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound capable of specific binding to the relaxin receptor (RXFP1) present on fibroblasts, fibromyoblasts, endothelial cells, endocardial cells, and cardiomyocytes in the cardiac muscle to increase the heart's stroke volume at lower end-diastolic pressure.
