Described herein are formulations of a somatostatin modulator, methods of making such formulations, and methods of using such formulations in the treatment of conditions, diseases, or disorders that would benefit from modulation of somatostatin activity.

The pharmaceutical compositions described herein include a suspension which comprises an admixture in solid form of a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic agent and at least one salt of a medium chain fatty acid and a hydrophobic medium, e.g. castor oil or glyceryl tricaprylate or a mixture thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain medium chain fatty acid salts and are substantially free of alcohols. The pharmaceutical compositions may be encapsulated in a capsule. Methods of treating or preventing diseases by administering such compositions to affected subjects are also disclosed.

The present embodiments provide methods, compounds, and compositions for treating, preventing, or ameliorating a disease associated with excess growth hormone using antisense compounds or oligonucleotides targeted to growth hormone receptor (GHR).

Described herein are compounds that are somatostatin modulators, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds in the treatment of conditions, diseases, or disorders that would benefit from modulation of somatostatin activity.

The present invention relates to sustained release formulations comprising as active ingredient octreotide or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof and two different linear polylactide-co-glycolide polymers (PLGAs).

GnRH receptor antagonists are disclosed which have utility in the treatment of a variety of sex-hormone related conditions in both men and women. The compounds of this invention have the structure: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1a, R.sub.1b, R.sub.1c, R.sub.1d, R.sub.2, R.sub.2a, and A are as defined herein, including stereoisomers, esters, solvates and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also disclosed are compositions containing a compound of this invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, as well as methods relating to the use thereof for antagonizing gonadotropin-releasing hormone in a subject in need thereof.

Process for the preparation of an injectable pharmaceutical composition for the sustained release of somatostatin analogues. Composition prepared according to such a process.

The present invention provides 3-[2-fluoro-5-(2,3-difluoro-6-methoxybenzyl-oxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]-2,4-dioxo- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrothieno [3 ,4-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid choline salt having excellent solubility and storage stability.

A process for the preparation of injectable pharmaceutical compositions for the sustained release of somatostatin analogs and compositions prepared according to the process. The process may comprise lyophilizing a mixture of lanreotide acetate and acetic acid to form a lyophilizate and hydrating the lyophilizate, wherein the lyophilization is performed only once.

The pharmaceutical compositions described herein include a suspension which comprises an admixture in solid form of a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic agent and at least one salt of a medium chain fatty acid and a hydrophobic medium, e.g. castor oil or glyceryl tricaprylate or a mixture thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain medium chain fatty acid salts and are substantially free of alcohols. The pharmaceutical compositions may be encapsulated in a capsule. Methods of treating or preventing diseases by administering such compositions to affected subjects are also disclosed.
