This disclosure relates to treatments for reducing the side effects associated with treatment of a medication or drug, such as a chemotherapy medication, being experienced by a patient. This may be accomplished by administering to a patient taking the medication, a buffered aqueous liquid having a pH of about 10 to about 11.5, wherein the buffered aqueous liquid comprises sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and trisodium phosphate.

Aspects of the technology described herein relate to a method of treating a malignancy in a subject. This method involves selecting a subject having a malignancy and administering dimethyl-3-beta-hydroxy-cholenamide (DMHCA) or derivative thereof to the subject in an amount effective to treat the malignancy. Methods of reducing malignancy-associated fibrosis in a subject and pharmaceutical combinations comprising (i) DMHCA or derivative thereof and (ii) one or more immune checkpoint inhibitors are also disclosed.

Methods of treatment based on a neoplasm's responsiveness to anthracycline are provided. Chromatin accessibility or expression levels of chromatin regulatory genes are used in some instances to determine whether a neoplasm will respond to anthracycline treatment. Anthracyclines are utilized to treat various individuals' neoplasms and cancers, as determined by their anthracycline responsiveness.

The present disclosure relates to the reversal of T cell exhaustion using aplysiatoxin analogs or PKC theta agonist compounds for anti-cancer immunotherapy. The treatment with aplysiatoxin analogs or PKC theta agonist compounds improve the anti-tumour activity of a T cell, inducing a NFAT-dependent T cell activation, increasing the pool of immune-checkpoint inhibitor responsive T cells, increasing lymphocyte infiltration and increasing the population of activated CD4+ and/or CD8+ cells. The methods of the present disclosure provide treatment of tumors and infections.

The present disclosure relates to prodrugs, double prodrugs, derivatives and analogues of 3-(methylamino)-2-((methylamino)methyl)propane-1-thiol. Their use as radio- and chemo-protectors is also described.

A compound represented by Formula 1 according to the present disclosure, when used in combination with an anticancer drug, may significantly improve the anticancer effect of the anticancer drug, and may induce the same anticancer effect even when the anticancer drug is used in a significantly smaller amount than the conventionally used amount, thereby reducing the side effects caused by administration of the anticancer drug. Furthermore, the compound represented by Formula 1 makes it possible to effectively prevent, alleviate or treat either anticancer-resistant cancer or cancer which recurs or metastasizes after anticancer drug treatment.

The present disclosure relates to modified anti-PD-1 polypeptides, pharmaceutical compositions comprising modified anti-PD-1 polypeptides, methods of making anti-PD-1 polypeptides, and methods of using the modified anti-PD-1 polypeptides for treatment of diseases. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to methods of treating cancer in a subject using the modified anti-PD-1 polypeptides.

Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound represented by Structural Formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. Also disclosed is a method of treating a myelin related disorder in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound of Structural Formula (I) or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of Structural Formula (I). The variables of Structural Formula (I) are described herein.
