Methods of treating cancer related conditions using anamorelin are described.

The present embodiments provide methods, compounds, and compositions for treating, preventing, or ameliorating a disease associated with excess growth hormone using antisense compounds or oligonucleotides targeted to growth hormone receptor (GHR).

The invention relates to an amorphous solid dispersion comprising elagolix sodium and at least one silicon-based inorganic compound and to a process for preparing the same. Furthermore, it relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising said solid dispersion and one or more additional pharmaceutical acceptable excipient(s), wherein the pharmaceutical composition can be used as a medicament, in particular for the treatment of endometriosis and uterine fibroids.

The disclosure is directed in non-limiting embodiments to compounds, compositions, and methods of treating conditions and diseases associated with activation of the gonadotropin GnRH receptor (GnRHR), particularly those involving GnRHR activating autoantibodies (GnRHR AAbs). In one non-limiting embodiment, the disease is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The therapeutic compounds in at least certain embodiments include peptides which at least partially comprise D-amino acids, such as retro-inverso D-amino acid (RID) peptides, which are able to bind with high affinity to GnRHR AAbs.

pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pro-drugs, biologically active metabolites, stereoisomers and isomers thereof wherein the variable are defined herein. The compounds of the invention are useful for treating immunological and oncological conditions.

GnRH receptor antagonists are disclosed which have utility in the treatment of a variety of sex-hormone related conditions in both men and women. The compounds of this invention have the structure: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1a, R.sub.1b, R.sub.1c, R.sub.1d, R.sub.2, R.sub.2a, and A are as defined herein, including stereoisomers, esters, solvates and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also disclosed are compositions containing a compound of this invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, as well as methods relating to the use thereof for antagonizing gonadotropin-releasing hormone in a subject in need thereof.

The present invention provides methods for generating functional derivatives of effector polypeptides (e.g., hormones and receptor ligands) embedded in a different protein scaffold (e.g., antibody scaffolds). The methods involve modifying the effector polypeptide with a combinatorial library of terminal linker sequences, inserting the modified sequences into the host scaffold, and then selecting functional derivatives from the library of modified polypeptide sequences embedded in the host scaffold. As exemplifications, the invention also provides specific functional derivatives of leptin, scFSH and scRelaxin embedded in an antibody scaffold, as well as therapeutic applications of such functional fusion molecules.
