A method of administering a pharmaceutical composition which includes anti-RANKL antibodies, calcium and vitamin D to a patient in need thereof. The method includes subcutaneously administering the anti-RANKL antibodies at a dose of 60-180 mg in 1-3 ml of solution every four weeks, orally administering the calcium at a dose of 400 mg daily, and orally administering the vitamin D at a dose of 800-1200 IU daily. The patient in need thereof has skeletal-related complications due to solid tumors, and the administering of the pharmaceutical composition comprising anti-RANKL antibodies, calcium and vitamin D to the patient in need thereof at least one of treats and prevents hypocalcemia induced by anti-RANKL antibody therapy. The calcium and the vitamin D are provided as a combined single daily dose in a form of effervescent granules, swallowable tablets, swallowable capsules, chewable tablets, or ready-to-use granules.

Methods of treating anti-inflammatory conditions through the use of boron-containing small molecules are disclosed.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Tumor Suppressor genes, in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Tumor Suppressor genes. The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of Tumor Suppressor genes.

The current invention relates to the treatment of diseases characterized by cartilage destruction and/or bone erosion. In particular the present invention relates to the treatment of osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, psoriatic arthritis or rheumatic arthritis with an anti-NKG2A antibody.

Indazole compounds for treating various diseases and pathologies are disclosed. More particularly, the present invention concerns the use of an indazole compound or analogs thereof, in the treatment of disorders characterized by the activation of Wnt pathway signaling (e.g., cancer, abnormal cellular proliferation, angiogenesis, Alzheimer's disease, lung disease and osteoarthritis), the modulation of cellular events mediated by Wnt pathway signaling, as well as genetic diseases and neurological conditions/disorders/diseases due to mutations or dysregulation of the Wnt pathway and/or of one or more of Wnt signaling components. Also provided are methods for treating Wnt-related disease states.

Disclosed are methods of purifying the compound (22E)-(24R)-2-methylene-22-dehydro-1α,24,25-trihydroxy-19-nor-vitamin D.sub.3 to obtain the compound in crystalline form. The methods typically include the steps of dissolving (22E)-(24R)-2-methylene-22-dehydro-1α,24,25-trihydroxy-19-nor-vitamin D.sub.3 in a solvent comprising ethyl acetate and hexane to form a solution, allowing crystals of (22E)-(24R)-2-methylene-22-dehydro-1α,24,25-trihydroxy-19-nor-vitamin D.sub.3 to form and precipitate from the solution, and recovering the crystals of (22E)-(24R)-2-methylene-22-dehydro-1α,24,25-trihydroxy-19-nor-vitamin D.sub.3 from the solution.

The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I): ##STR00001##
or a stereoisomer, tautomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein all the variables are as defined herein. These compounds are selective LPA receptor inhibitors.
