Abstract: The present invention relates to the provision of novel immunogens comprising an antigenic IgE peptide preferably linked to an immunogenic carrier for the prevention, treatment or alleviation of IgE-mediated disorders. The invention further relates to methods for production of these medicaments, immunogenic compositions and pharmaceutical compositing thereof and their use in medicine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to diagnosing abnormal cell proliferation in biological samples and screening for drugs which inhibit, reduce or abolish cell growth, especially tumorigenic cell growth, by detecting a phosphovariant isoform of a guanine nucleotide exchange factor biomarker, such as the novel GEF-H1S.

Abstract: This invention relates to a range of 1-aryl-4-cyclopropylpyrazoles in which the cyclopropyl ring is substituted at the angular position, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, to compositions comprising such compounds, processes to their synthesis and their use as parasiticides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a therapeutic method for the treatment of non-hematologic malignancies comprising administering anti-IGF-1R antibodies, particularly human anti-IGF-1R antibodies, to a patient, in conjunction with the administration of at least one other therapeutic agent. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies and methods of using such compositions thereof for treatment.

Abstract: This invention relates to a range of alpha substituted 2-benzyl substituted imidazole compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, to compositions comprising such compounds, processes for their synthesis and their use as parasiticides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies, which are directed to the human IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and are to be administered for the treatment of cancer. The antibodies of the present invention have been altered to comprise antibodies with one or more selected germline framework amino acid residues which replace one or more corresponding somatically mutated residues in the variable region of the unaltered antibody. The modification results in the framework region mutations converted to germline. The modification results in a reduced propensity for the antibody to elicit an immune response (reduced immunogenicity) following administration to a human subject.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and use of heterocyclic amines, and phenylazacycloalkane compounds, and their pharmacologically acceptable salts for the treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of treatment or prevention of mastitis in mammals with known oxazolidinone anti-bacterial agents, either alone or in combination with exogenous lactoferrins.

Abstract: The present invention provides for methods for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome or chronic fatigue syndrome by the administration of cabergoline-type compounds or a salt of said compound.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of treating an mammal selected from the group consisting of humans and horses who has asthma, COPD or allergic rhinitis and is in need of such treatment by inhaling an anti-asthma, anti-COPD anti-allergic rhinitis effective amount, respectively, of a compound selected from the group consisting of tolterodine hydroxytolterodine and 2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl-1-phenylcyclopentanecarboxylate and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel pharmaceutical composition based on the use of a particular oil phase which comprises a lipophilic, pharmaceutically active agent, a mixture of diglyceride and monoglyceride in a ratio of from about 9:1 to about 6:4 by weight (diglyceride:monoglyceride) wherein the diglyceride and monoglyceride are mono- or di- unsaturated fatty acid esters of glycerol having sixteen to twenty-two carbon chain length, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvents, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable surfactants. The composition is in a form of self-emulsifying formulation which provides high concentration and high oral bioavailability for lipophilic compounds.
