ANTI-CGRP RECEPTOR/ANTI-PAC1 RECEPTOR BISPECIFIC ANTIGEN BINDING PROTEINS
The present invention relates to antagonist antibodies of the human calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor as well as bispecific antigen binding proteins derived from the anti-CGRP antibodies that bind to and inhibit both the human CGRP receptor and another target, such as the human pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide type I receptor (PAC1) receptor. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the anti-CGRP receptor antibodies and bispecific antigen binding proteins as well as methods for producing them are also disclosed. Methods of using the anti-CGRP receptor antibodies and bispecific antigen binding proteins to ameliorate, treat, or prevent conditions associated with the CGRP and PAC1 receptors, such as chronic pain, migraine, and cluster headache, are also described.

Provided is a superior, novel heterocyclic compound with improved solubility in oil such as sesame oil and benzyl benzoate, which has a broader treatment spectrum, causes less side effects, and is superior in tolerability and safety, and use thereof. A heterocyclic compound represented by the formula (I) wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, or a salt thereof.
##STR00001##
Solid forms of an sGC stimulator
The present disclosure relates to crystalline solid forms of a stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), Compound I: ##STR00001##
Also provided herein are methods for the preparation of these solid forms. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical formulations and dosage forms comprising these solid forms and their uses thereof, alone or in combination with one or more additional agents, for treating and/or preventing various diseases or disorders; these diseases or disorders are ones that may benefit from sGC stimulation or from an increase in the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) and/or cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).
Pharmaceutical compositions comprising meloxicam
Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an NSAID such as meloxicam and/or rizatriptan in combination with a cyclodextrin and/or a carbonate or a bicarbonate. These compositions may be orally administered, for example, to improve the bioavailability or pharmacokinetics of the NSAID for the treatment of pain such as migraine, arthritis, and other conditions. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating pain, such as migraine, comprising administering meloxicam and rizatriptan to a human being suffering from pain, such as migraine. For migraine, these methods may be particularly useful when the meloxicam and rizatriptan are administered while the human being is suffering from an acute attack of migraine pain or migraine aura. In some embodiments, the combination of meloxicam and rizatriptan may be administered in a manner that results in a T.sub.max of meloxicam of 3 hours or less.
