The present invention relates to dual delta (δ) and gamma (γ) PI3K protein kinase modulators, methods of preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and methods of treatment, prevention and/or amelioration of Pi3K kinase mediated diseases or disorders with them.

Methods and compositions are disclosed for diagnosing a patient suspected of suffering from, and for treating a patient suffering from, a disorder such as hypercortisolemia, metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, diabetes, Cushing's syndrome, Cushing's Disease, hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolemia, a liver disease, a cardiac disorder, high blood pressure, a blood clotting disorder, a cancer, a psychological disorder, weight gain, a disorder of glucose control, a bone disorder (e.g., osteoporosis), hypogonadism, pseudoacromegaly, pituitary tumors, functional hypercortisolism, ACTH secreting tumors, peripheral neuropathy, dyslipidemia and other disorders. The methods and compositions include administration of a heteroaryl-ketone fused azadecalin glucocorticoid receptor modulator (GRM). The preferred heteroaryl-ketone fused azadecalin GRM is relacorilant ((R)-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-((1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)sulfonyl)-4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-g]isoquinolin-4a-yl)(4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)methanone). In some cases, the GRM (e.g., relacorilant) is orally administered. In some cases, the GRM (e.g., relacorilant) is orally administered without food.

##STR00001##

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, X and Z are defined herein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. Such compounds and compositions are useful in methods for inhibiting GDF-8 in a cell and methods for treating a patient suffering from a disease or disorder, wherein the patient would therapeutically benefit from an increase in mass or strength of muscle tissue.

The invention provides compositions comprising stem and/or progenitor cells that have been treated to enhance the therapeutic properties of the cells for treating ischemia. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of stem and/or progenitor cells having enhanced therapeutic properties to treat an ischemic tissue, a tissue damaged by ischemia, or at least one symptom associated with an ischemic tissue or a tissue damaged by ischemia.

Ophthalmically therapeutic materials, such as liquid-containing compositions and polymeric drug delivery systems, include a therapeutic component that includes an Glucocorticoid Derivative which, upon delivery to the posterior segment of a mammalian eye, does not significantly diffuse to the anterior segment of said eye. Methods of making and using the present materials are also described.

Disclosed herein are therapeutic methods for treating lung diseases, disorders and injury in a mammal, including treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis (idiopathic), bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis, mechanical ventilator induced lung injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchiolitis obliterans after lung transplantation and lung transplantation-induced acute graft dysfunction, including treatment, prevention or prevention of progression of primary graft failure, ischemia-reperfusion injury, reperfusion injury, reperfusion edema, allograft dysfunction, pulmonary reimplantation response, bronchiolitis obliterans after lung transplantation and/or primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after organ transplantation, in particular in lung transplantation, comprising down-regulating the TLR2 gene or both the TLR2 gene and TLR4 gene.
