Supramolecular particle compositions based on medicinal natural products (MNPs), their synthetic analogs and derivatives, and methods to prepare and use them are provided. Five classes of MNPs and their derivatives including diterpene resin acid, phytosterol, lupane-type pentacyclic triterpene, oleanane-type pentacyclic triterpene, and lanostane-type triterpene form functional nano- or micro-structures that are stable to strong acidic environment and effectively penetrate the gastrointestinal tract. Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic agents that generally have poor intestinal permeability are converted to bioavailable forms when delivered with these supramolecular particles. Among many others, small compound chemotherapeutic agents and peptide therapeutics encapsulated therein have a much greater plasma concentration following oral administration, and effectively controls and treat symptoms associated with tumors or diabetes.

The present invention relates to a use of BI853520 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in preparing drugs for treating tumors in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs.

This document relates to methods and materials involved in assessing and/or treating mammals (e g , humans) having cancer. For example, methods and materials that can be used to determine whether or not the cancer is likely to be responsive to a particular cancer treatment (e.g., a cancer immunotherapy or a cancer chemotherapy) are provided. For example, methods and materials that can be used to treat a mammal by administering one or more cancer treatments that is/are selected based, at least in part, on whether or not the mammal is likely to be responsive to a particular cancer treatment also are provided.

The present invention provides compositions comprising one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients, wherein the compositions are in the form of high solids concentration pastes capable of being injected in relatively low volumes into an animal using standard commercially available syringes. The invention also provides methods of making such compositions, particularly those compositions comprising high molecular weight active ingredients (e.g., antibodies, enzymes and other proteins and peptides) at relatively high therapeutic concentrations in the high solids concentration pastes. The invention further provides methods of using such formulations in treating, preventing and/or ameliorating certain diseases and physical disorders in animals, including humans, in need thereof. The invention also provides kits comprising the formulations of the invention and a suitable syringe, which in some aspects may be pre-loaded or pre-filled with a composition of the invention.
