Abstract: This invention relates to the use of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors or derivatives thereof in preventing cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract: Agents and methods for chemoprevention and treatment of neoplasia are described, the agents including a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase and a combination of a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase and an inhibitor of cylcooxygenase-2 in a pharmaceutical composition. The agents and methods are used for chemoprevention and treatment of neoplasia including colorectal cancer and other cancers affecting epithelial cells throughout the body. The agents can also be used to treat the fibrosis that occurs with radiation therapy, as well as adenomatous polyps, including those with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method of preventing and/or treating respiratory disorders and respiratory disorder-related complications in a subject by administering to the subject at least one Cox-2 inhibitor in combination with one or more muscarinic receptor antagonists. Compositions, pharmaceutical compositions and kits are also described.

Abstract: A method is described for providing a steroid-sparing benefit to a subject that is in need of, or that is presently receiving, a corticosteroid, the method comprising administering to the subject a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor in combination with a corticosteroid. Therapeutic compositions, pharmaceutical compositions and kits that are useful for implementing the present method are also described.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of migraine. More particularly, the invention provides a combination therapy for the treatment of migraine comprising the administration to a subject of a 5-HT1B/1D agonist in combination with a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor.

Abstract: A method for preventing or treating otic disorders and otic disorder-related complications in a subject involves a monotherapy with a Cox-2 inhibitor or a combination therapy with a Cox-2 inhibitor and an otic agent. Also described are therapeutic compositions comprising a Cox-2 inhibitor and an otic agent. Pharmaceutical compositions and kits for implementing the present method are also described.

Abstract: The present invention provides therapeutic combinations and methods for treating or preventing a hypercholesterolemia-related or an inflammation-related condition in a subject in need of such treatment or prevention.
