Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising liposomes composed of non-charged vesicle-forming lipids, optionally including not more than 10 mole percent of negatively charged vesicle-forming lipids and/or not more than 10 mole percent of PEGylated lipids, the liposomes having a selected mean particle diameter in the size range of 40-200 nm and comprising a first corticosteroid in water soluble form, for the site-specific treatment of inflammatory disorders in humans, providing in human patients a fast, strong, and durable anti-inflammatory effect for at least 2 weeks at a dose of at most 5 mg/kg body weight of prednisolone or an equipotent dose corticosteroid other than prednisolone at a treatment frequency of at most once per two weeks.

Abstract: The invention relates to topical injection in inflamed lesions or areas with liposomal corticosteroids.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a composition comprising a corticosteroid encapsulated in a vesicle for the manufacture of a medicament for treating cancer, such as the use of a composition comprising a corticosteroid and liposomes, the liposomes comprising a non-charged vesicle-forming lipid, and optionally an amphipathic vesicle-forming lipid and/or a negatively charged vesicle-forming lipid. The invention further relates to a new pharmaceutical composition suitable for treating cancer, and especially solid primary and secondary tumors.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration, comprising liposomes composed of non-charged vesicle-forming lipids, optionally including not more than five (5) mole percent of charged vesicle-forming lipids, the liposomes having a selected mean particle diameter in the size range between about 40-200 nm and containing a water soluble corticosteroid for the site-specific treatment of inflammatory disorders, is provided.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration, comprising liposomes composed of non-charged vesicle-forming lipids, including up to 20 mole percent of an amphipathic vesicle-forming lipid derivatized with polyethyleneglycol, and optionally including not more than 10 mole percent of negatively charged vesicle-forming lipids, the liposomes having a selected mean particle diameter in the size range between about 40-200 nm and containing a water soluble corticosteroid for the site-specific treatment of inflammatory disorders, is provided.
