Methods of administering sotalol hydrochloride in an amount effective for treating a cardiovascular condition are described. An initial IV loading dose can be administered over a period of about one hour, followed by a first oral dose. The patient can be discharged from the medical facility providing cardiac monitoring prior to administration of additional oral doses. The IV and first oral doses can be administered in a manner such that maximum serum concentration of sotalol is reached and the patient can be discharged within about 7-8 hours.

Provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions, each comprising a phenylsulfonamide, for example, a compound of Formula I, or an enantiomer, a mixture of enantiomers, a mixture of two or more diastereomers, a tautomer, a mixture of two or more tautomers, or an isotopic variant thereof; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, or prodrug thereof; and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Also provided herein are methods of their use for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a neurodegenerative disease. ##STR00001##

Inhibitors of Glycerol 3-Phosphate Acyltransferase (GPAT) are provided; and methods of use in the treatment of cancer; and treatment of conditions relating to metabolic syndrome and hyperlipidemia.

A dosage form contains a biologically active ingredient for treating or preventing a disease in the animal or human body, where the treatment or prevention requires release of 50% or more of the biologically active ingredient in the small intestine within the pH range from 3 to 5.5. The dosage form contains: a) a core, containing the biologically active ingredient; b) an intermediate coating layer (ICL) onto or above the core, containing an alkaline agent; and c) an enteric coating layer (ECL) onto or above the intermediate coating layer, containing an enteric polymer. The relation of the alkaline agent to the enteric polymer is 5 to 95% when calculated by the formula:

[00001]$\frac{\mathrm{quantity}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{alkaline}\mathrm{agent}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{grams}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}ICL\times 100}{\begin{array}{c}(\mathrm{quantity}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{alkaline}\mathrm{agent}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{grams}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}ICL+\\ \mathrm{quantity}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{enteric}\mathrm{polymer}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{grams}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}ECL)\end{array}}.$

The present invention is directed to a combination therapy involving a type II anti-CD20 antibody and a selective Bcl-2 inhibitor for the treatment of a patient suffering from cancer, particularly, a CD20-expressing cancer.

Methods for treating, selecting a treatment, and monitoring a treatment for an inflammatory bowel disease in a patient in need are disclosed. Treatments include administering an antifungal compound. The method for selecting and monitoring a treatment includes detecting a biomarker indicative of an amount of the fungus Debaryomyces hansenii within the sample. The treatment is administered if the biomarker is above a threshold level and the biomarker may be monitored before and during treatment. Biomarkers include abundance of fungal DNA in the patient's gut microbiota and anti-fungal antibodies in the blood of the patient.
