Embodiment 1
[0084] Cancer cells grown in vitro can be treated with chemotherapeutic drugs alone or concurrently with hedgehog pathway modulators, including itraconazole. Differences in cell death between cells treated with chemotherapy alone or concurrently with a hedgehog pathway modulator determined the degree of synergistic killing by the combination therapy. Two-dimensional dose-response in which successive ten-fold doses of cyclopamine and itraconazole de-escalation were performed to demonstrate the efficacy of vincristine and docetaxel in naive cell lines isolated and established before chemotherapy Sensitization was modeled as first-line therapy: H295, Kelly and drug-resistant cell lines that had received chemotherapy prior to isolation and establishment: as models for second-line therapy: HeLa and Caco-2 cells. As cyclopamine and itraconazole were reduced from 10 micromolar to 1 micromolar to 0.1 micromolar, the chemotherapeutic concentrations required to stop proliferation and ki...
Embodiment 2
[0091] Hedgehog pathway regulators, including posaconazole and itraconazole, were used as pre-treatment agents to shut down the Hedgehog pathway and thus downregulate ABC transporter expression. This in turn reduces the efflux of chemotherapeutic drugs. Differences in cell death between cells treated with chemotherapy and cells pretreated with a hedgehog pathway modulator determined the degree of synergistic killing of the combination treatment.
Embodiment 3
[0093] Drug de-escalation determined the synergistic killing effect of combination therapy in which conventional-dose, defined-dose hedgehog pathway modulators (including posaconazole and itraconazole) were given, but in each study, Chemotherapy doses were gradually reduced. The de-escalation study showed whether these combinations could reduce the side effects of hedgehog pathway modulators and the known toxicity of chemotherapy drugs to patients, while being effective at killing tumors.
