A method of treating or preventing fibrotic disease is described. The method includes topical administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an angiotensin receptor blocker in a topical formulation to a subject in need thereof. A method of treating Peyronie's disease by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an angiotensin receptor blocker to a subject in need thereof is also described.

A dry granulation process using a twin-screw extruder for granulating a powder mixture which includes at least one active ingredient and at least one carrier. The process includes steps of kneading the powder mixture in the screw barrel of the twin-screw extruder at a barrel temperature below a melting point of the at least one active ingredient and a melting point or a glass transition temperature of the at least one carrier to provide a kneaded powder mixture, and extruding the kneaded powder mixture to form granules. Granules and tablets produced using the dry granulation process in the twin-screw extruder are also provided.

Small molecule activators of interferon regulatory factor (IRF), such as IRF3, and methods of use are provided. In particular, compositions and methods for upregulating interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) activity, such as in the brain following stroke to provide potent protection against ischemic brain injury, to improve a therapeutic time window for providing treatments to stroke patients and/or for enhancement of vaccine platforms are disclosed.

Aerosol formulations of ondansetron useful for pulmonary delivery are provided. The formulations are useful in the reduction, elimination or prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Also provided are novel methods to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV), and post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONY) using the inhalation formulations.
