Abstract:
Compounds, compositions, and methods of avoiding edema while treating or preventing PPARγ-mediated diseases, including cancer, using derivatives and prodrugs are provided.
Compositions and methods for inducing cell membrane wounding, cell permeabilization and cell killing are provided. The composition comprises a polyvalent agent that binds to a highly expressed cell surface antigen present on the surface of a cell. Preferably, the cell surface antigen is associated with the cytoskeleton of the cell. A preferred polyvalent agent is an IgM, and enhanced cell wounding and killing can be provided by the addition of a crosslinking agent. At sublethal concentrations in vivo, the cell wounding antibodies permeabilize cells and dramatically enhance response to chemotherapeutic agents, even in patients refractory to the chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract:
Formulations and methods of treating human patients suffering from a condition characterized by lymphoid cancer, autoimmune disease or B cell hyperproliferation are disclosed, the treatment comprising administering (1) a cytotoxic amount of an antibody having specific binding for CDIM epitopes on a B cell, and (2) a cytotoxic agent, including a chemotherapeutic agent, radioactive isotope, cytotoxic antibody, immunoconjugate, ligand conjugate, immunosuppressant, cell growth regulator and/or inhibitor, toxin, or mixtures thereof, including agents that disrupt the cytoskeleton of B cells, particularly vinca alkaloids or colchicine.
Method For Treating Dementia Or Alzheimer's Disease
Methods for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) or dementia using a CD20 antibody are described. Articles of manufacture for use in such methods are also described.
Treatment Of B Cell Diseases Using Anti-Germline Antibody Binding Agents
Methods for reducing the number of pathologic antibody producing B cells in a patient suffering from an autoimmune disease by administration of an anti-germline antibody are described. Methods for removing pathologic antibodies and B cells and plasma cells producing pathologic antibodies from the body of a patient suffering from autoimmune disease are provided, comprising contacting the blood or plasma of the patient with an immunoadsorbent having specific binding for an epitope present on germline antibodies, particularly VH4-34 antibodies, wherein said contacting results in the reduction in the amount of germline antibodies present in the blood or bone marrow or lymphoid tissue of the patient or the amount of germline antibody producing B cells present in the blood, lymphoid tissues or bone marrow of the patient. Methods for treating a patient suffering from a B cell cancer expressing cell surface germline antibodies by similar methods are also provided. Methods for ex vivo purging bone marrow of pathologic antibody producing B-cells and cancerous B-cells expressing germline antibodies are provided. Methods for monitoring the efficacy of a therapeutic treatment in a patient suffering from an autoimmune disease or B cell cancer are also provided. Kits and uses in preparation of a medicament are also described.
Treatment Of Endotoxemia Using Endotoxin Neutralizing Agents
Methods and compositions for selecting a patient suffering from endotoxemia for treatment with an endotoxin neutralizing agent are disclosed comprising: (a) determining the level of endotoxin in the patient's blood; and (b) comparing the endotoxin level in the patient's blood to a predetermined threshold endotoxin level to determine if the patient has elevated endotoxin levels. The methods can further comprise treating patients identified as having elevated levels of endotoxin with an endotoxin neutralizing therapy. The methods provide increased safety and a reduction in risk for critically ill patients.
Methods For Avoiding Edema In The Treatment Of Metabolic, Inflammatory, And Cardiovascular Disorders
Compounds, compositions, and methods of treating or preventing PPARγ-mediated diseases, including cancer, using phenoxy acetic acid derivatives and prodrugs are provided.
Method For Treating Dementia Or Alzheimer's Disease
Methods for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) or dementia using a CD20 antibody are described. Articles of manufacture for use in such methods are also described.
