Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0015176A2] A method for treating a tumor includes a first treatment procedure using a conventional cancer treatment technique, and a second treatment procedure which includes administering an effective amount of squalamine. Synergistically effective amounts are preferred. The first treatment procedure may be a treatment with one or more conventional cytotoxic chemical compounds. As examples, the cytotoxic chemical compound may be a nitrosourea (such as BCNU), cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel and its derivatives, cisplatin or other platinum containing cancer treating agents. Alternatively, the first treatment may be a treatment with one or more conventional anti-hormonal agents. As examples, the anti-hormonal agents may be a LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone) agonist or an anti-androgen such as flutamide, biclutamide, nilutamide, and luprolide. These conventional cancer treatments compounds and the squalamine may be administered by any suitable route. The first treatment procedure may take place prior to the second treatment procedure, after the second treatment procedure, or the two treatment procedures may take place simultaneously. As an alternative, the first treatment procedure may be a conventional radiation treatment regimen. As a further alternative the first treatment procedure may be a combination of treatment with one or more conventional cytotoxic chemical compounds and a conventional radiation treatment regimen.
