Abstract: Methods of treating patients suffering from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who did not experience a clinical response to previous thiopurine administration, or suffered side effects from previous thiopurine administration, by administering a delayed release pharmaceutical composition comprising 6-mercaptopurine are disclosed. Methods of treating patients suffering from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are also being administered a steroid, 5-aminosalicylic acid, or an antibiotic by adjunctively administering a delayed release pharmaceutical composition comprising 6-mercaptopurine are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of administering a delayed release 6-mercaptopurine pharmaceutical composition to patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease which provide for release of the 6-mercaptopurine after passage of the pharmaceutical composition through the stomach are disclosed. The methods result in significant clinical improvement despite leading to very little systemic absorption of 6-mercaptopurine and also result in very few undesirable side effects.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing adhesions associated with post-operative surgery. The present method comprises administering or affixing a polymeric composition preferably comprising chain extended, coupled or crosslinked polyester/poly(oxyalkylene) ABA triblocks or AB diblocks having favorable EO/LA ratios to a site in the body which has been subjected to trauma, e.g. by surgery, excision or inflammatory disease. In the present invention, the polymeric material provides a barrier to prevent or reduce the extent of adhesions forming.
