The present invention relates to methods of treating patients suffering from itching and puritis mediated by cutaneous lymphocyte antigen positive T cell. In particular, diseases or disorders including contact dermatitis, drug induced delayed type cutaneous allergic reactions, toxic epidermal necrolysis, cutaneous T cell lymphoma, bullous pemphigoid, alopecia aereata, vitiligo, acne rosacea, prurigo nodularis, and herpes simplex virus, or combination thereof will benefit from the administration of an IL-31 antagonist. The invention also includes methods of predicting a therapeutically responsive patient population.

The present invention provides oligonucleotide inhibitors of miR-155 and compositions thereof. The invention further provides methods for treating cancer such as a T cell lymphoma in a subject by administering to the subject an oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155. The invention also provides methods for reducing or inhibiting the proliferation of malignant T cells by administering an oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155.

One aspect of the present invention relates to the use of sapacitabine, or a metabolite thereof, in the preparation of a medicament for treating a proliferative disorder, wherein the sapacitabine or metabolite thereof is administered in a dosing regimen comprising at least one treatment cycle, wherein said treatment cycle comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of sapacitabine or metabolite thereof for about 2 to about 6 days per week, for 2 weeks out of 3 weeks. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of sapacitabine, or a metabolite thereof, in the preparation of a medicament for treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).

Monoclonal antibodies are identified that bind the IL-21 protein. These antibodies are used to identify regions of the IL-21 protein to where binding neutralizes IL-21 activity. Hybridomas and methods of producing anti-IL-21 monoclonal antibodies are described. The monoclonal antibodies are useful in treating IL-21-mediated diseases, which may include autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as pancreatitis, type I diabetes (IDDM), Graves Disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diverticulosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, scleroderma, systemic sclerosis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, graft vs. host disease (GVHD), cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), Sjogren's syndrome, glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, graft versous host disease, transplant rejection, atopic dermatitis, anti-phospholipid syndrome, and asthma, and other autoimmune diseases.

The invention is directed to a stable complex with controlled particle size, increased apparent solubility and increased dissolution rate comprising as active compound Sirolimus or derivatives thereof, which is useful in in the prophylaxis of organ rejection in patients receiving renal transplants, in the treatment of psoriasis, facial angiofibromas associated with tuberous sclerosis, fibrofolliculomas found in Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome, chronic erosive oral lichen planus, Early Stage Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma, Treatment of Autoimmune Active Anterior Uveitis, dry eye syndrome, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, noninfectious uveitis, telangiectasia, inflammatory skin diseases (dermatitis, including psoriasis and lichen ruber planus), Pachyonychia Congenita and in the suppression of angiogenesis pathways. More specifically, the complex of the present invention possesses increased apparent solubility, permeability and enhanced biological performance including significantly improved exposure, earlier tmax, higher Cmax and higher trough concentrations at 24 hours which will allow the reduction of the dose. Furthermore, the complex of the present invention possesses exceptional stability as a redispersed solution allowing the development of liquid based formulation for transdermal and other topical applications. The invention also relates to methods of formulating and manufacturing complex according to the invention, pharmaceutical compositions containing it, its uses and methods of treatment using the complex and its compositions.
