The present disclosure is directed to formulations and methods for treatment of disease such as chemoprevention of cancer, for example oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and for methods of preparing the formulations. Further, the disclosure relates to local administration in slow release dosage forms for treatment of disease. The extended-release formulations are comprised of biodegradable polymeric implants (for example millicylinders and microspheres as well as in situ forming gels) and therapeutic agents selected from an anti-interleukin 6 agent, a synthetic vitamin A analogue and/or metabolite, and/or an estradiol metabolite for the local delivery of therapeutic agents to a site where a cancer has been previously excised or to prevent progression of a precancerous lesion.

The present invention relates to a hormone replacement therapy, to the associated compounds and to the associated packaging units, for alleviating menopause-associated symptoms which is based on the administration to a female mammal of an estetrol component at a specific daily dose, optionally in combination with a progestogenic component. The therapy enjoys a statistically significant efficacy combined with a favourable profile for side effects compared to currently available methods for alleviating menopause-associated symptoms.

The present disclosure describes a vaginal system comprising segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol configured for thirteen 28-day product-use cycles that is compatible with male condoms comprising natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, or polyurethane and a method of providing birth control using the vaginal system wherein a secondary contraception is employed when the vaginal system is removed or expelled from the vagina for specified amounts of time during any of the product-use cycles.

Provided are combination therapies comprising a PI3K inhibitor (e.g., inavolisib), a CDK4/6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib), and fulvestrant; and methods of treating hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative (HR+/HER2−) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer in a patient (preferably a patient with a PIC3CA mutant patient) comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of inavolisib, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a CDK4/6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib), and fulvestrant or letrozole.
