Abstract:
The invention relates to a combination which comprises: (a) a HDAC inhibitor; and (b) an anti-thrombocytopenia drug, for simultaneous, concurrent, separate or sequential use, especially for use in the treatment of a proliferative diseases. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions or products comprising such a combination, or a method using such a combination
Abstract:
TPO was used to promote the growth of bone in both rats and in mice. Gaps in both mouse and in rat bones were treated with a scaffold sized to fit the gap. Scaffolds that included TPO promoted better outcomes than scaffolds that included BMP-2 or scaffolds that did not include either TPO or BMP-2. These data indicate that compounds that exhibit thrombopoietic activity such a recombinant TPO can be used to promote bone growth and healing in mammals.
Abstract:
A method of increasing hematopoietic stem cell production is disclosed. The method includes administering a TPO mimetic compound to a subject. Pharmaceutical compositions including a TPO mimetic compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The teachings provided herein generally relate to the preparation and uses of compositions comprising extracts of Astragalus membranaceus. The extracts are prepared from Astragalus membranaceus and can comprise, for example, an acid-modified arabinogalactan protein composition having an arabinose:galactose ratio ranging from about 3.5:1 to about 5.0:1, from about 5% to about 10% rhamnose, from about 15% to about 20% galactose, and from about 10% to about 15% glucose. The compositions can be used in the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and the formulation of medicaments for such treatments.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to novel therapeutic uses of T-140 analog peptides and compositions comprising same. Specifically, the invention relates to compositions and methods for providing improved platelet levels, useful in the treatment and prevention of thrombocytopenia, for controlling bleeding and for inducing or modulating haemostasis.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a composition comprising naked humanized, chimeric, and human anti-CEA antibodies and a therapeutic agent, which is useful for treatment of CEA expressing cancers and other diseases, and methods of use in treatment using this composition.

Abstract:
Myeloid function is enhanced by transplantation or infusion of allogeneic myeloid progenitor cells, including CMP, GMP, MEP and MKP cell subsets. Myeloid progenitors ameliorate sequelae of anemia and thrombocytopenia, and can prevent or treat gastrointestinal mucositis associated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and the like. The transplantation or infusion may be performed in the absence of HLA typing, and the cells may be mismatched at one or more Class I HLA loci. The transplantation may provide for treatment of ongoing disease, or prevention of disease in high risk patients.
