The present disclosure is directed to methods of improving the therapeutic effectiveness and safety profile of ibogaine for the treatment of conditions including, but not limited to, alcoholism, substance abuse disorder, and opioid use disorder.

Methods for treatment of people afflicted with COVID-19 are described. The methods include administration of azoximer bromide to people afflicted with COVID-19. Methods of prophylaxis against COVID-19 by administering azoximer bromide are also described herein. The methods include administration of azoximer bromide to healthy people not afflicted with COVID-19. Azoximer bromide may be administered intravenously, as a pill, nasal spray, and/or suppository, with each treatment dose being designed to complement the mode of administration. Azoximer bromide may be administered for treating COVID-19 as part of a complex therapy including at least one of a vitamin, mineral, antibiotic, antiviral, immunosuppressant, hydroxychloroquine, and anti-coagulant.

Described herein are methods for administering a chemotherapeutic agent to a patient in need thereof comprising administering an effective amount of a CCR5 antagonist contemporaneously with an effective amount of a chemotherapeutic agent. Also described are kits and compositions useful to implement the methods.

The present disclosure provides, inter alia, methods for treating diseases, e.g., a cancer, in a subject by targeting oncogenic lipids in cells, including increasing lipid-based reactive oxygen species (ROS) by inhibiting coenzyme Q.sub.10 (CoQ.sub.10) production. Methods for treating a subject with a cancer that is sensitive to an oncolipid-targeting therapy, e.g., ADCK3 inhibition, are also provided. Further provided are methods for modulating coenzyme Q.sub.10 (CoQ.sub.10) level in a subject, including determining CoQ.sub.10 levels by LC-MS.

The present invention provides an immunomodulatory composition useful for treating or preventing joint damage comprising at least a set of peptides possessing an amino acid sequence having at least 80%, 85% and 90% sequence identity with the peptides corresponding to SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:4 and a method for the treatment or prevention of joint damage comprising the steps of a) extract monocytes from a patient with a rheumatological disease; b) culture the monocytes extracted in the previous step in AIM-V medium with GM-CSF and IL-4; c) wash the monocytes and add dexamethasone; d) load the tDCs with the immunomodulatory composition comprising autoantigenic peptides; e) add MPLA; and f) incorporate the tDCs loaded with autoantigenic peptides into the patient. The present invention includes methods for the treatment or prevention of rheumatological disease comprising a wide range of tDCs performed by different protocols.
