Abstract: The present application relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of an FXR agonist and at least one additional therapeutic agent that lowers the glucose level in the blood, stimulates insulin secretion, and/or increases insulin sensitivity. The present application relates to use of the pharmaceutical composition for the treatment or prevention of a FXR mediated disease or condition, such as NAFLD and NASH, a disease or condition related to an elevated level of glucose in the blood, decreased secretion of insulin, and/or decreased insulin sensitivity such as hyperglycemia, diabetes, obesity, and insulin resistance, or for lowering the glucose level in the blood, stimulating insulin secretion, and/or increasing insulin sensitivity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating, reducing the risk of, preventing, or alleviating a symptom of a pulmonary disease or condition, reducing or suppressing inflammation in the lung, and promoting lung repair, by using a compound of formula A: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of an FXR agonist and at least one lipid lowering agent (e.g., PPAR-alpha agonist, PPAR-delta agonist, PPAR-alpha and delta dual agonist, and/or statin). Also disclosed is use of the combination for the treatment or prevention of a FXR mediated disease or condition, such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), portal hypertension, bile acid diarrhea, NAFLD (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease), NASH (non-alcohol-induced steatohepatitis), and other chronic liver diseases. The combination of the present invention is useful for the treatment or prevention of conditions related to elevated lipid and liver enzyme levels. The present invention also relates to packs or kits including the pharmaceutical combination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I): wherein R is hydrogen or alpha-hydroxy, the hydroxyl group in position 7 is in the alpha or beta position; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or amino acid conjugates thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting fibrosis that occurs in an organ where the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is expressed. This method involves the step of administering a high potency, activating ligand of FXR in an effective amount to a patient who is not suffering from a cholestatic condition. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing an effective amount of an FXR ligand and kits for dispensing the pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to obeticholic acid formulations with improved stability, dissolution, and/or solubility, methods of preparing the same for use and methods of treating various diseases and conditions.

Abstract: The invention relates to the discovery that farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists can be used in combination with peroxisome proliferation activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) agonists to reduce drug-induced adverse side effects in patients suffering from conditions such as insulin resistance, Type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and heart disease. Particularly, the present invention encompasses methods for treating patients suffering from drug-induced adverse side effects with selective PPAR?, dual PPAR?/? and pan PPAR?/?/? agonists in combination with FXR agonists.
