The present invention provides methods for treating inflammatory or autoimmune disease using calcitonin receptor activators, such as calcitonin receptor activating antibodies, among others. The invention also features compositions containing calcitonin receptor activators, methods of diagnosing patients with calcitonin receptor-associated inflammatory or autoimmune disease, and methods of predicting the response of an inflammatory or autoimmune disease or condition in a subject to treatment with calcitonin receptor activators.

A method for treating, remedying, or preventing inflammatory skin disorders by administering a therapeutically effective dose of at least one an antagonist of a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor in a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation. The method for treating, remedying, or preventing an inflammatory skin disorder by administering topically and to the pre-psoriatic rim a therapeutically effective dose of at least one an antagonist of a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor in a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation.

Disclosed herein are heat-stable dry powders which include peptides or protein such as oxytocin for use as a pharmaceutical composition. The composition is highly stable at increased temperatures and relatively high humid environments, and are intended for storage at room temperature with an improved shelf-life. In particular, the dry powders are intended for inhalation, however, other routes of administration can be used when reconstituted in solution.

An oral dosage form provides a delivery structure having active agent delivery regions at an exterior surface of a body of super-porous hydrogel material, and a protective coating, for delivery of the active agent to an intestinal site.

The present invention relates to a peptide hormone with one or more O-glycans attached at specific amino acid residues as well as to formulations comprising the same.

The present invention relates to pre-formulations comprising low viscosity, non-liquid crystalline, mixtures of: a) at least one neutral diacyl lipid and/or at least one tocopherol; b) at least one phospholipid; c) at least one biocompatible, oxygen containing, low viscosity organic solvent;
wherein at least one bioactive agent is dissolved or dispersed in the low viscosity mixture and wherein the pre-formulation forms, or is capable of forming, at least one liquid crystalline phase structure upon contact with an aqueous fluid. The preformulations are suitable for generating parenteral, non-parenteral and topical depot compositions for sustained release of active agents. The invention additionally relates to a method of delivery of an active agent comprising administration of a preformulation of the invention, a method of treatment comprising administration of a preformulation of the invention and the use of a preformulation of the invention in a method for the manufacture of a medicament.
