Abstract: A method is for the treatment of a condition in a subject, which arises from or is associated with CFTR dysfunction. The method includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a CFTR modulator together with an effective amount of an alginate oligomer. The condition can be cystic fibrosis (CF), non-compound CFTR gene mutation heterozygosity, abnormal mucus clearance in the respiratory tract and/or breathing difficulties resulting from chronic particulate inhalation, COPD, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchiectasis, asthma or chronic sinusitis, or a complication of any of these.

Abstract: A method is for the treatment of a condition in a human patient arising from or associated with a defective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) ion channel and/or abnormal mucus which is attached to underlying epithelium. The method includes administering an alginate oligomer, in which at least 30% of the monomer residues of the alginate oligomer are G residues, to the patient in an amount sufficient to achieve a local concentration of the alginate oligomer of 1 to 6% w/v at at least part of a mucosal surface with a defective CFTR ion channel and/or the abnormal mucus in the patient.

Abstract: This invention relates to antioxidants and combinations of antioxidants used to prevent oxidation of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products in the form of powders, granulates, tablets, emulsions, gels and the like comprising one or more fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives and, optionally, at least one carbohydrate carrier alone or together with vitamins, minerals and/or pharmaceuticals. In particular, the invention concerns the use of antioxidants to reduce oxidation of powders, tablets, gels and emulsions comprising high concentrations and high doses of omega-3 fatty acids or derivatives thereof.
