The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by administering a) a composition comprising nanoparticles that comprise paclitaxel and an albumin and b) a platinum-based agent (e.g., carboplatin). The present application also provides methods of treating prostate cancer by administering to the individual a) an effective amount of a composition comprising nanoparticles comprising docetaxel and an albumin

Anti-angiogenic gene therapy with a combination of soluble Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (sVEGFR) improves the efficacy of chemotherapy with paclitaxel for reducing ovarian cancer mean tumor volume (in cubic millimetres) as measured using magnetic resonance imaging. The study groups were: AdLacZ control, combination of AdsVEGFR-1, -2 and -3, combination of AdsVEGFR-1, -2, -3 and paclitaxel, bevacizumab monotherapy, paclitaxel monotherapy and carboplatin monotherapy. Effectiveness was asses...

The present invention provides phosphaplatins, stable isolated monomeric phosphato complexes of platinum (II) and (IV), and methods of use thereof for treating cancers, including cisplatin- and carboplatin-resistant cancers. Unlike cisplatin, these complexes do not readily undergo hydrolysis and are quite soluble and stable in aqueous solutions. Moreover, these complexes - unlike cisplatin, carboplatin, and related platinum-based anti-cancer agents - do not bind DNA. Rather, data suggests that p...

The present invention relates to immunotherapies that are based on depletion of CD37- positive cells such as B-cells. The present invention provides methods for reduction of CD37-positive cells such as B-cells in an individual / patient using a combination of CD37 antibody /antibodies and ICE. The combination of CD37 antibodies and ICEis shown to have improved anti-tumor efficacy compared to single agent treatment. The application further provides materials and methods for treatment of diseases ...

In one aspect, a method for treating a subject having a hyperproliferative disorder is disclosed, including administering to the subject a composition including: IPM, an IPM analog, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the dosage from about 70 mg/m2/day to about 160 mg/m2/day
