Abstract: A pharmaceutical mucoadhesive gel composition for delivering therapeutic agents (such as progesterone) by buccal, nasal, vaginal and rectal administration, thereby avoiding the hepatic first-pass metabolism. The gel composition comprises a vehicle with a gel-forming agent and a bioadhesive agent; and a therapeutic agent dispersed or suspended in the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reconstitutable teverelix-TFA composition having a predefined molar ratio of teverelix to trifluoroacetate which is below the molar ratio required for microcrystal formation. Said composition remains stable during storage e.g., at a temperature around 2-8° C. Upon reconstitution a fixed amount of trifluoroacetate can be added to said composition thereby effectively and simply achieving an exact and desired molar ratio in order to obtain a fluid, milky microcrystalline aqueous teverelix-TFA suspension.

Abstract: The present invention relates to treating one or more estrogen related diseases while preventing or reducing the likelihood of developing estrogen deficiency related side effects, wherein the composition comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a Gn RH antagonist to a patient in need of the treatment, and wherein the amount of Gn RH antagonist is sufficient for providing a mean endogenous serum estradiol level of between about 20 pg/ml and 60 pg/ml, preferably between 30 pg/ml and 50 pg/m, in the patient in a treatment period of at least four weeks, without relying on “add-back” therapy. The composition and method are simple, effective and will accordingly both increase patient acceptance and compliance of therapy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of obtaining a novel gelling agent. Said method comprises adding ethylcellulose, to a mixture of propyleneglycol laurate and propyleneglycol isostearate at a temperature of between 90° C. and 110° C. The method according to the invention provides a simpler, less energy consuming, cheaper and easier way of obtaining a substantially gelling agent which can be used for manufacturing an oleogel and/or a bigel, for cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical use.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are gel compositions for enhanced transdermal delivery of an active ingredient into a serum of a subject through production of a reservoir of the active ingredient in the stratum corneum of the subject. Also disclosed herein are methods of using the gel composition to at least partially ameliorate a condition, and kits comprising the gel composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for treating acute urinary retention and reducing the recurrences rates in a male patient by administering a composition for treating acute urinary retention, said composition comprises at least one GnRH antagonist and at least one alpha blocker and/or at least one 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. Said composition provides a rapid reduction in the patient's testosterone level and returns the patient's testosterone level to near baseline in less than eight weeks. Also, the administration of the GnRH antagonist provides a significant reduction in the patient's acute urinary retention symptoms for a medication period of at least four months, six months or more.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions for administering vaginally of an active agent or a salt to a subject comprising the active agent or salt thereof, a bioadhesive, and an emulsion. Also disclosed herein are methods treating a disease of condition by administering vaginally to a subject a pharmaceutical composition, and kits comprising the pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one GnRH antagonist and wherein the composition is arranged for being administered in two different administration routes, thereby providing an enhanced bioavailability. Said composition may be used for treating or preventing a disease or condition related to the release of a gonadotropin hormone.
