Disclosed herein are compounds, compositions, and methods for modulating the A.sub.2A adenosine receptor with the compounds and compositions disclosed herein. Also described are methods of treating diseases or disorders that are mediated by the A.sub.2A adenosine receptor, such as cancer, with A.sub.2A adenosine receptor antagonists.

Multiple myeloma (MM) combination therapies based on protein translation inhibitors, immunomodulators, and bromodomain extra-terminal inhibitors. Methods are provided for treating multiple myeloma in a subject, including administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one protein translation inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of at least one immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one protein translation inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of at least one BET inhibitor, and/or administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one IMiD and a therapeutically effective amount of at least one BET inhibitor.

Described herein are methods and pharmaceutical formulations for treating dry eye disease.

This application discloses a composition comprising an amiloride and/or an amiloride analog which can be used for reducing nerve injury or nervous system injury in a subject. The formulation of such composition is also disclosed. The application further directs to methods for treating nerve injury or nervous system injury by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising amiloride, an amiloride analog or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

The present disclosure relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) for the reduction of total convulsive seizure frequency in the treatment of “treatment-resistant epilepsy” (TRE). In particular, the disclosure relates to the use of CBD of treating TRE when the TRE is Dravet syndrome; myoclonic absence seizures or febrile infection related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES). The disclosure further relates to the use of CBD in combination with one or more anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs).

Methods of using serum glucocorticoid induced kinase 1 (SGK1) inhibitors for reducing the development of diseases related to salt and water balance, and in particular, hydrocephalus and/or hypertension, are disclosed herein. Particularly, the present disclosure is directed to the use of SGK1 inhibitors to inhibit transepithelial ion transport, such as in one embodiment, in the choroid plexus of a subject, thereby reducing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production or, alternatively, in another embodiment, to inhibit transepithelial sodium transport in the kidney collecting duct thereby reducing sodium reabsorption into the blood.
