The present invention relates to the method of treating heavy menstrual bleeding in a subject with or without uterine fibroids and in need of treatment by administering an effective amount of 4((R)-2-[5-(2-fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)-3-(2-fluoro-6-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl]-1-phenyl-ethylamino)-butyric acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination with estrogens and progestogens.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting ovulation in a female subject, including a subject in need of contraceptives and a subject undergoing fertility treatments. The methods comprise administering to the female subject at least one prostaglandin transporter (PGT) inhibitor.

The present invention is directed to the compounds of Formula I which are inhibitors of tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA): Formula (I) or steroisomers, tautomers or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts, metabolites, isotopes, solvates or prodrugs thereof, wherein, Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd, R1, R2, L and Het-Ar are as defined herein. These compounds can be used for the preventive and/or therapeutic treatment of diseases or disorders associated with abnormal activities of nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor TrkA such as Pain, inflammation or an inflammatory diseases, Cancer, atherosclerosis, restenosis, thrombosis, Neurodegenerative diseases, Erectile Dysfunction (ED), Skin disorders, Autoimmune disease like Multiple sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, endometriosis, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, prostatitis, Infectious diseases, diseases related to an imbalance of the regulation of bone remodeling, endometriosis, pelvic pain syndrome and diseases resulting from abnormal tissue remodelling and fibrotic disorders; or a disease, disorder, injury, or malfunction relating to dysmyelination or demyelination.

Described are stable topical formulations useful in the treatment of viral wart infection, demodex infection and bacterial infection of the skin, and genitalia and the method of treating viral wart infection, demodex infection and bacterial infection of the skin, and genitalia with said compositions.

Described herein are nasal pharmaceutical compositions comprising a porous excipient and an active agent, wherein the active agent is loaded onto a surface of the porous excipient located inside pores of the porous excipient, and wherein the composition is adapted for nasal administration. Also described herein are methods of making and using nasal pharmaceutical compositions.

The present invention is drawn to novel topiramate compositions as well as methods for effecting weight loss, e.g., in the treatment of obesity and related conditions, including conditions associated with and/or caused by obesity per se. The present invention features an escalating dosing regimen adapted for the administration of topiramate and optionally a sympathomimetic agent such as phentermine or bupropion, in the treatment of obesity and related conditions.

The invention provides compositions or pharmaceutical compositions of novel high penetration compositions (HPC) of a parent compound, which are capable of crossing biological barriers with high penetration efficiency. The HPCs are capable of being converted to parent drugs or parent drug-related compounds such as metabolites after crossing one or more biological barriers and thus can render treatments for the conditions that the parent drugs or parent drug-related compounds can. Additionally, the HPCs are capable of reaching areas that their parent drugs or parent drug-related compounds may not be able to access or to render a sufficient concentration at the target areas and therefore render novel treatments. For example, HPCs of NSAIA have demonstrated indications such as treating hair loss and bold. A HPC can be administered to a subject through various administration routes, e.g., locally delivered to an action site of a condition with a high concentration or systematically administered to a biological subject and enter the general circulation with a faster rate.

The invention relates to novel benzodiazepine derivatives with antiproliferative activity and more specifically to novel benzodiazepine compounds of formula (I)-(VI). The invention also provides conjugates of the benzodiazepine compounds linked to a cell-binding agent. The invention further provides compositions and methods useful for inhibiting abnormal cell growth or treating a proliferative disorder in a mammal using the compounds or conjugates of the invention.

The present invention relates to methods for the treatment, prevention and diagnostic of diseases using compounds that specifically bind and inhibit human NKG2A in combination with compounds that bind and inhibit human PD-1. The invention also relates to assays to identify NKG2A+PD1+ tumor infiltrating NK and/or CD8 T cells.

The invention provides methods of treating a subject having or at risk of cancer by administering a LIV-1 antibody drug conjugate and a chemotherapeutic.
