10. The method of claim 9, wherein the tablet comprises a 10 mg dose of stereomerically pure (+)-2-[1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylsulfonylethyl]-4-acetylaminoi- soindoline-1,3-dione.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the tablet comprises a 20 mg dose of stereomerically pure (+)-2-[1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylsulfonylethyl]-4-acetylaminoi- soindoline-1,3-dione.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the tablet comprises a 30 mg dose of stereomerically pure (+)-2-[1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylsulfonylethyl]-4-acetylaminoi- soindoline-1,3-dione.

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of one or more second active agents.

14.
