Provided herein are pediatric formulations comprising 2 methyl-1-[(4-[6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]-6-{[2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl]amino}-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino]propan-2-ol methanesulfonate, and methods for treating, preventing and managing cancer using the same.

A compartmented hard shell capsule for containing active formulations, and methods and apparatuses for forming, filling and encapsulating the compartmented hard shell capsules. The compartmented hard shell capsule includes a cap portion and a body portion. The cap portion has a hollow cavity defining a cap chamber. The body portion can be removably inserted into the cap portion. The body portion has an open end, a closed end and a sidewall defining a hollow cavity and a serrated edge along the open end. The serrated edge may be folded over to form a barrier to enclose the body portion, thereby creating a body chamber that is separate from the cap chamber when the body portion is inserted into the cap portion. The methods for filling and encapsulating the compartmented hard shell capsules can be completed in one continuous process, which increases cost-effectiveness for use of the compartmented hard shell capsules.

The disclosed invention relates to a low-dose celecoxib oral formulation, and a preparation method therefor, which is characterized in that the strength of the formulation is 60-90% of the original strength of the commercial celecoxib product, and the celecoxib formulation with such reduced strength is bioequivalent to the commercial celecoxib product. The celecoxib formulation can be used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain and mild to moderate chronic pain.
