Assignee: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Cambridge, MA)
Application Number:14/715,507
Patent Claims: 1. A method for preventing pulmonary embolism in a mammal in need thereof comprising administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a salt represented by formula II: ##STR00014## wherein the salt is in a crystalline form characterized by a powder X-ray diffraction pattern having at least four approximate characteristic peak locations selected from 4.9, 9.7, 13.8, 14.1, 15.2, 17.6, 18.5, 20.8, 21.6, 22.7, 24.1, 26.3, and 26.8 degrees 2.theta..

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the salt is administered to the mammal in the form of a pharmaceutical composition comprising the salt and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in capsule form.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the method comprises administering the capsule once or several times daily.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the salt has a differential scanning calorimetry approximate to the differential scanning calorimetry pattern shown in FIG. 2A.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the salt has a powder X-ray diffraction pattern having at least eight approximate characteristic peak locations selected from 4.9, 9.7, 11.8, 13.8, 14.1, 15.2, 17.6, 18.5, 19.9, 20.8, 21.6, 22.7, 24.1, 25.0, 26.3, and 26.8 degrees 2.theta..

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the salt has a powder X-ray diffraction pattern approximate to the powder X-ray diffraction pattern shown in FIG. 1A.
