The present disclosure provides compositions and therapies that can address both the symptoms and disorders associated with insufficient surfactant production and hyperoxia. In one embodiment, the composition can be formulated for aerosol delivery during ventilation therapy. The composition can comprise one or more of the following: a PPAR gamma agonist, a surfactant peptide, and one or more phospholipids. The compositions are formulated to provide the complementary benefits of reducing the likelihood of developing or the severity of RDS in infants, as well as protecting and promoting lung maturation in a hyperoxic environment.

The present invention concerns improved methods and compositions for preparing SN-38 conjugates of proteins or peptides, preferably immunoconjugates of antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments. More preferably, the SN-38 is attached to the antibody or antibody fragment using a CL2A linker, with 1-12, more preferably 6-8, alternatively 1-5 SN-38 moieties per antibody or antibody fragment. Most preferably, the immunoconjugate is prepared in large scale batches, with various modifications to the reaction scheme disclosed herein to optimize yield and recovery in large scale. Other embodiments concern optimized dosages and/or schedules of administration of immunoconjugate to maximize efficacy for disease treatment and minimize side effects of administration.
