Disclosed herein are methods relating to manufacturing an embolizing agent precursor. Manufacture of the embolizing agent precursor may involve mixing a first component contained within a first container with a second component contained within a second container, the first component including a plurality of negatively charged gaseous components and a first stabilizer, the second component comprising a plurality of positively charged oil components, a second stabilizer, and a cationic surfactant. Further steps may include mixing the first component with the second component such that the first and second component are held together as a single agglomerated entity.

The present invention provides methods of treatment for hematological malignancies involving synergistic combination of a JAK2 inhibitor and a glucocorticoid or a JAK2 inhibitor, thalidomide or thalidomide derivative, and a glucocorticoid. The compositions and methods provide an unexpected efficacy in the treatment for hematological disorders. The hematological disorders treated by the current invention include multiple myeloma, and may also include hematological disorders that are refractory to prior cancer treatments, or a relapsed hematologic disorder.
