The present invention is the use of a small group of purine nucleotide phosphoramidate disclosed herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in an effective amount for the treatment or prevention of the novel 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in a host, for example a human, in need thereof.

The present invention provides compounds which are selective allosteric inhibitors of T790M and C797S containing EGFR mutants, their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as therapeutically active substances.

The present disclosure provides variant immunomodulatory polypeptides, and fusion polypeptides comprising the variant immunomodulatory peptides. The present disclosure provides T-cell modulatory multimeric polypeptides, and compositions comprising same, where the T-cell modulatory multimeric polypeptides comprise a variant immunomodulatory polypeptide of the present disclosure. The present disclosure provides nucleic acids comprising nucleotide sequences encoding the T-cell modulatory multimeric polypeptides, and host cells comprising the nucleic acids. The present disclosure provides methods of modulating the activity of a T cell; the methods comprise contacting the T cell with a T-cell modulatory multimeric polypeptide of the present disclosure.

The present invention relates to stable, aqueous, parenteral solutions comprising diclofenac and polyvinylpyrrolidone, wherein the solutions are for parenteral (subcutaneous, intravenous and/or intramuscular) administration.

A composition in a water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion is disclosed. The composition comprises: (a) a continuous aqueous phase, comprising H.sub.2O; (b) an oil phase or an oil shell, dispersed in the continuous aqueous phase; and (c) a hydrophilic polymer, stabilizing an interface between the continuous aqueous phase and the oil phase or the oil shell to form the water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion. The oil phase or the oil shell comprises: (i) oil; (ii) an internal aqueous phase, dispersed within the oil or the oil shell; and (iii) a lipophilic sorbitan-polyester conjugate, stabilizing an interface between the oil and the inner aqueous phase to form a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion. The lipophilic sorbitan-polyester conjugate comprises: (1) sorbitan; and (2) poly(lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) or polylactic acid (polylactide), conjugated to the sorbitan.

The present invention provides a crystalline form of a benzodiazepine derivative hydrochloride of Formula I or its ethanolate, wherein R is methyl or ethyl. The present invention also provides a method of preparing the crystal form of the compound of Formula I and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the crystal form. ##STR00001##

The invention relates to a method for the stabilization of a polysaccharide (hyaluronic acid) with a biomolecule—amino acid—through crosslinking, to generate a bionic hydrogel based on physiological building blocks for applications in regenerative medicine. The designed biosimilar hydrogel is intended to be used in regenerative medicine for the purpose of regenerate, rejuvenate and/or restore the structure or function of impaired or damaged tissues, and to promote healing. The manufacture method is composed of a single step that includes mixing L-lysine and hyaluronic acid sodium salt in an aqueous saline solution with either EDC/NHS as coupling agent.

Provided are methods for treating pancreatic cancer in a patient by administering liposomal irinotecan (MM-398) alone or in combination with additional therapeutic agents. In one embodiment, the liposomal irinotecan (MM-398) is co-administered with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin.

The disclosure relates to tropical diseases such as viral mosquito borne illnesses and the treatment thereof. The invention includes ribonucleic acid vaccines and combination vaccines, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccines for treating and preventing tropical disease.
