Abstract: The present invention provides safe therapeutic doses of an antagonist of human LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like, exhibits inducible expression and competes with Herpes Virus Glycoprotein D for Herpes Virus Entry Mediator (HVEM), a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes), as well as methods of monitoring whether a therapeutic dose of an anti-LIGHT antagonist is safe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula I, wherein A, Y, Z, R3 to R6, R20 to R22 and R50 have the meanings indicated in the claims, which are valuable pharmaceutical active compounds. Specifically, they are inhibitors of the endothelial differentiation gene receptor 2 (Edg-2, EDG2), which is activated by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and is also termed as LPA1 receptor, and are useful for the treatment of diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and heart failure, for example. The invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I, their use and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.

Abstract: The present invention describes a combined vaccine that offers broad protection against meningococcal disease caused by the pathogenic bacteria Neisseria meningitidis. The vaccine is comprised of four distinct polysaccharide-protein conjugates that are formulated as a single dose of vaccine. Purified capsular polysaccharides from Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y are chemically activated and selectively attached to a carrier protein by means of a covalent chemical bond, forming polysaccharide-protein conjugates capable of eliciting long-lasting immunity to a variety of N. meningitidis strains in children as well as adults.

Abstract: This invention is directed to processes for the preparation of a compound of the formula I or salt thereof, that is useful as a tryptase inhibitor, to intermediates useful in the preparation of such a compound, to processes for the preparation of such intermediates, and to the use of such intermediates for the preparation of such a compound.

Abstract: Methods of using dronedarone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the preparation of a medicament for use in the prevention of cardiovascular hospitalization or of mortality, articles of manufacture and packages related thereto.

Abstract: A method and system for priming a drug delivery device. The drug delivery device includes a dose dial sleeve and an internal housing portion. The dose dial sleeve is coupled to the internal housing. The dose dial sleeve rotates on a substantially circumferential rotational path during priming of the drug delivery device. Further, the dose dial sleeve rotates on a helical path during dose setting of the drug delivery device.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for the preparation of the enantiomeric forms of 2,3-diaminopropionic acid derivatives of formula I, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are defined as in the dsiclosure, by racemate resolution. The separation of the racemate into its enantiomers takes place through formation of diastereomeric salts upon addition of an enantiomerically pure auxiliary, and subsequent separation by fractional crystallization.

Abstract: This invention relates to use of teriflunomide for treating Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and managing the risks associated with the use of teriflunomide.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel polysaccharides with an antithrombotic activity, having at least one covalent bond with biotin or a biotin derivative, wherein said covalent bond is resistant to metabolic cleavage and comprises a linkage X selected from the group consisting of —O—, —N(R)—, —N(R)—CO— and —N(R?)—CO—N(R?)—, wherein R is an alkyl group and R? and R?, which may be identical or different, are, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or alkyl group.

Abstract: The invention provides flavivirus vaccines and methods of making and using these vaccines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fexofenadine granules, to a composition containing them and to a process for the hot-melt coating of fexofenadine. The process for the hot-melt coating of fexofenadine allows efficient masking of its bitter taste without, however, unacceptably slowing down its dissolution.

Abstract: A resettable drive mechanism for a medication delivery device comprising a housing, a drive member rotatable with respect to the housing in a second direction for delivering a dose of a medication, and a piston rod by the drive member, when drive member rotates in the second direction, a stop member adapted to prevent rotation of drive member in a first direction, when the stop member engages the drive member, a clutch member movable between a delivery position and a reset position. When clutch member is in the delivery position, stop member and drive member are engaged and drive member is prevented from rotation in the first direction, and when the cutch member is in the reset position, the drive member and the stop member are disengaged, the drive member is rotatable in the first direction.

Abstract: An assembly for a drug delivery device comprises a housing, a rotation member, a drive member and at least one correction member. The rotation member is adapted to be rotated with respect to the housing in a first rotational direction for delivering a dose of a drug. The drive member is coupleable to the rotation member for delivering the dose. In a delivery mode, the drive member and the rotation member are coupled such that the drive member follows rotational movement of the rotation member in the first rotational direction due to mechanical interaction of the rotation member and the drive member.
