Abstract: Provided herein is a method of monitoring the change of the alpha-4 integrin activities in an individual by correlating with the soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule (sVCAM) and/or soluble mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule (sMAdCAM) levels. Particularly, this method can be used, for example, to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of an alpha-4 integrin inhibitor used to treat a disease associated with pathological or chronic inflammation.
Abstract: Provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a disease or disorder (e.g., MS) in a subject in need thereof, comprising (a) administering to the subject a first dose of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a fumarate agent (e.g., DMF) for a first dosing period; (b) administering a vaccine; and (c) administering to the subject a second dose of the pharmaceutical composition for a second dosing period.
Abstract: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of Tau mRNA in a cell or animal, and in certain instances reducing the amount of Tau protein in a cell or animal. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom of a neurodegenerative disease. Such symptoms include loss of memory, loss of motor function, and increase in the number and/or volume of neurofibrillary inclusions. Such neurodegenerative diseases include tauopathies, Alzheimer's Disease, Fronto-temporal Dementia (FTD), FTDP-17, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), Corticobasal Ganglionic Degeneration (CBD), Epilepsy, and Dravet's Syndrome.
Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for evaluating neuromuscular function in a subject, e.g., a subject at risk for or suffering from a neuromuscular disorder.
Abstract: The present invention provides novel pharmaceutical compositions of dimethyl fumarate. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprises a first pharmaceutical bead composition and a second pharmaceutical bead composition, wherein the first pharmaceutical bead composition is an enterically coated immediate-release composition and the second pharmaceutical bead composition is an enterically coated controlled-release composition, wherein the first pharmaceutical bead composition and the second pharmaceutical bead composition both comprise dimethyl fumarate Methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention for treating multiple sclerosis are also included.
