The present invention relates to a sterile ophthalmic composition comprising castor oil and a medium chain triglyceride, to its use in medicine, in particular for the treatment and/or prevention of an ocular disease selected from the group consisting of dry eye, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, blepharitis, entropion, floppy eyelid syndrome, thyroid ophthalmopathy, pterygium, conjunctivochalasis, epithelial damage induced by preservatives, epithelial or anterior chamber damage induced by ocular surgery, limbal cell deficiency, corneal ulcers induced by physical or chemical agents, keratitis, episcleritis and uveitis.

The present invention relates to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular discloses a 2-oxo-1,2-dihydrobenzo[cd]indole compound and use thereof. The compound and pharmaceutically acceptable salt, isomer, racemate, prodrug, co-crystallized complex, hydrate, and solvate thereof can effectively inhibit the BET bromodomain receptor, and can be used for preparing a medicine for treating cancers, cell proliferative disorders, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune disorders, sepsis, and viral infections.

Described herein are nasal pharmaceutical compositions comprising a porous excipient and an active agent, wherein the active agent is loaded onto a surface of the porous excipient located inside pores of the porous excipient, and wherein the composition is adapted for nasal administration. Also described herein are methods of making and using nasal pharmaceutical compositions.

The present invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1 R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and X.sup.1 are defined herein, a method for manufacturing the compounds of the invention, and its therapeutic uses. The present invention further provides a combination of pharmacologically active agents and a pharmaceutical composition.

The invention relates to methods of treating a patient suffering from an IL-33-mediated disorder, such as asthma, comprising administering to the patient an IL-33 axis binding antagonist based on the genotype of the /L1RL1gene, the genotype of a polymorphism in genomic vicinity to the IL-33 gene, the expression level of periostin or the expression level of soluble ST2. The invention further relates to methods of determining whether a patient is at increased risk of an IL-33-mediated disorder, as well as methods of determining whether a patient suffering from such a disorder is likely to respond to a treatment comprising an IL-33 axis binding antagonist, based on the genotype of the /L1RL1gene the genotype of a polymorphism in genomic vicinity to the IL-33 gene, the expression level of periostin or the expression level of soluble ST2.

The present invention relates generally to the use of compositions and methods for treating nociceptive events that occur on the ocular surface in association with dryness, injury, environmental pollutants, and infectious and non-infectious diseases. Specifically, the present invention is directed to the use of certain compounds for treating for treating ocular pain or ocular discomfort.

Provided herein are micellic assemblies comprising a plurality of copolymers. In certain instauces, micellic assemblies provided herein are pH sensitive particles.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to an oral dosage form comprising a core containing one more active ingredients and a fast-release exterior coating. The fast release exterior coating includes a water soluble polymer; a saccharide or sugar alcohol, or a combination thereof, and a flavoring. The flavoring may be a warming sensate that is released in the oral cavity of the user after inserting the dosage form in his or her mouth.

The present disclosure is directed to human monoclonal IgE antibodies, and IgG antibodies engineered therefrom. Such engineered antibodies can be used to blunt pathologic IgE responses in subjects, such as in the treatment or prevention of allergies.

The present invention relates to novel humanized anti-IL-4 and IL-13 antibodies and fragments thereof and novel bispecific antibodies and fragments thereof that specifically bind to IL-4 and IL-13. The invention also includes uses of the antibodies to treat or prevent IL-4 and/or IL-13 mediated diseases or disorders, including allergic asthma and dermatitis.
