[Technical Field]
[0001] I. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 396,104, filed August 8, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [Background technology]
[0002] II. Background Cancer is intractable in terms of the breadth and scope of its diversity, spanning genetics, cell and tissue biology, pathology, and response to treatment. Ever more powerful experimental and computational tools and technologies are providing an avalanche of "big data" on the myriad manifestations of the disease it encompasses. The integrative concepts embodied in the hallmarks of cancer are helping to extract increasingly coherent science from this complexity, and the tentative new aspects presented in this Perspective may add value to efforts to more fully understand the mechanisms of cancer development and malignant progression and to apply these insights to cancer medicine.
[0003] Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2018, there were 18.1 million new cases and 9.5 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to increase to 29.5 million, and the number of cancer-related deaths to 16.4 million. In general, cancer rates are highest in countries where the population has the highest life expectancy, education level, and standard of living. However, for some cancer types, such as cervical cancer, the opposite is true: incidence rates are highest in countries where the population ranks low on these measures. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] Despite advances in medical management, there remains an unmet medical need for developing methods to provide precision cancer treatment to subjects with cancer (e.g., terminal cancer). [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0027] V. Detailed Description The present disclosure describes formulations, combination compositions, kits, capsules, containers, and / or methods related thereto. It should be understood that the inventive aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to a specific synthesis method unless otherwise specified, nor are they limited to a specific reagent unless otherwise specified, and therefore may of course vary. It is also understood that the terminology used herein is merely for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used to practice or test the present invention, exemplary methods and materials are described here.
[0028] All publications mentioned herein are incorporated by reference to disclose and describe the methods and / or materials with which the cited publications pertain. The publications discussed herein are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Nothing herein should be construed as an admission that the present invention is not entitled to antedate such publication by virtue of prior invention.
[0029] A.Definition Before the present compounds, compositions, articles, systems, devices, and / or methods are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that they are not limited to particular synthetic methods unless otherwise specified, nor to particular reagents unless otherwise specified, and therefore may, of course, vary. It is also understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, exemplary methods and materials are now described.
[0030] This disclosure describes the inventive concepts with reference to specific embodiments, but is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives of the inventive concepts consistent with this disclosure.
[0031] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0032] The phrase "consisting essentially of" limits the scope of a claim to those components recited with respect to the composition or steps recited with respect to the process, and to those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed composition or claimed process. The phrase "consisting of" excludes any component, step, or element not recited in the claim. The phrase "comprising" is synonymous with "including," "containing," or "characterized by" and is inclusive or open-ended. "Comprising" does not exclude additional, unrecited components or steps.
[0033] As used herein, when referring to any numerical value, the term "about" means a value that falls within ±10% of the stated value.
[0034] Ranges may be expressed herein as from "about" one particular value and / or to "about" another particular value. When such a range is expressed, a further embodiment includes from the one particular value and / or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent "about," it will be understood that the particular value forms a further embodiment. It will further be understood that each of the endpoints of a range is significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint. It is understood that several values are disclosed herein, and that each value is also disclosed herein as "about" that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value "10" is disclosed, then "about 10" is also disclosed. It is also understood that each unit between two particular units is disclosed. For example, if 10 and 15 are disclosed, then 11, 12, 13, and 14 are also disclosed.
[0035] References herein and in the concluding claims to parts by weight of a particular element or component in a composition refer to the weight relationship of that element or component to any other element or component in the composition or item for which the part by weight is expressed. Thus, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight of component X and 5 parts by weight of component Y, X and Y are present in a weight ratio of 2:5, and are present in such ratio regardless of whether additional components are included in the compound.
[0036] As used herein, the terms "as needed" or "as needed" mean that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description encompasses cases where the event or circumstance occurs and cases where the event or circumstance does not occur. In certain aspects, the disclosed methods can optionally include one or more additional steps, such as repeating or modifying the administering step.
[0037] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to the target of administration, e.g., a human. The term "subject" also encompasses domestic animals (e.g., cats, dogs, etc.), livestock (e.g., cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.), and experimental animals (e.g., mice, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, fruit flies, etc.). Thus, the subject of the methods disclosed herein may be a vertebrate, such as a mammal, fish, bird, reptile, or amphibian. Alternatively, the subject of the methods disclosed herein may be a human, non-human primate, horse, pig, rabbit, dog, sheep, goat, cow, cat, guinea pig, or rodent. The term does not denote a particular age or sex, and thus is intended to encompass adult and child subjects, as well as fetuses, regardless of gender. In some embodiments, the subject may be a human patient. In some embodiments, the subject may have cancer, be suspected of having cancer, or be at risk of developing cancer.
[0038] As used herein, the term "diagnosed" means having been subjected to examination by a person skilled in the art, e.g., a physician, and found to have a condition that can be diagnosed or treated by one or more of the disclosed antineoplastons, the disclosed pharmaceutical preparations, or any combination thereof, or by one or more of the disclosed methods. For example, "diagnosed to have a disease or disorder" means having been subjected to examination by a person skilled in the art, e.g., a physician, and found to have a condition (e.g., cancer) that can be treated by one or more of the disclosed antineoplastons, the disclosed pharmaceutical preparations, or any combination thereof, or by one or more of the disclosed methods. For example, "suspected of having a disease or disorder" can mean having been subjected to examination by a person skilled in the art, e.g., a physician, and found to have a condition (e.g., cancer) that is likely to be treatable by one or more of the disclosed antineoplastons, the disclosed pharmaceutical preparations, or any combination thereof, or by one or more of the disclosed methods. In some embodiments, the examination may be a physical examination and may involve various tests (e.g., blood tests, genotyping, biopsies, etc.), scans (e.g., CT scans, PET scans, etc.), and assays (e.g., enzyme assays), or combinations thereof.
[0039] "Patient" refers to a subject suffering from a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer, terminal cancer, metastatic cancer). In certain embodiments, a patient may refer to a subject diagnosed with or suspected of having a disease or disorder, such as cancer. In certain embodiments, a patient may refer to a subject diagnosed with or suspected of having a disease or disorder, and seeking or receiving treatment for a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer).
[0040] As used herein, phrases such as "identified as needing treatment for a disease or disorder" refer to the selection of a subject based on the need for treatment for a disease or disorder. For example, a subject can be identified as needing treatment for a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) based on a previous diagnosis by a person skilled in the art, and can then be subjected to treatment for the cancer. In some embodiments, the identification can be performed by a person different from the person who makes the diagnosis. In some embodiments, the person who makes the diagnosis can also perform the administration.
[0041] As used herein, "inhibit," "inhibiting," and "inhibition" mean to attenuate or reduce an activity, level, response, condition, severity, disease, or other biological parameter. This can include, but is not limited to, the complete elimination of an activity, level, response, condition, severity, disease, or other biological parameter (e.g., one or more genomic aberrations, etc.). This can also include, for example, a 10% inhibition or reduction of an activity, level, response, condition, severity, disease, or other biological parameter (e.g., one or more genomic aberrations, etc.) compared to native or control levels (e.g., subjects not receiving a disclosed antineoplaston, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, or any combination thereof). Thus, in certain embodiments, inhibition or reduction can be a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or any amount therebetween reduction compared to native or control levels. In some embodiments, inhibition or reduction can be 10-20%, 20-30%, 30-40%, 40-50%, 50-60%, 60-70%, 70-80%, 80-90%, or 90-100% compared to native or control levels (e.g., subjects not receiving a disclosed antineoplaston, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, or any combination thereof). In some embodiments, inhibition or reduction can be 0-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, or 75-100% compared to native or control levels. In some embodiments, native or control levels can be pre-disease or pre-disorder levels (e.g., pre-cancerous conditions).
[0042] The words "treat" or "treating" or "treatment" include palliative treatment, i.e., treatment designed to relieve symptoms rather than cure the disease, pathological condition, or disorder; preventative treatment, i.e., treatment directed to minimizing or partially or completely preventing the occurrence of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder; and supportive treatment, i.e., treatment used to supplement another specific therapy directed to ameliorating the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder. In certain embodiments, these terms encompass any treatment of a subject, including a mammal (e.g., a human), and include (i) preventing an undesirable physiological change, disease, pathological condition, or disorder from occurring in a subject who may be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed as having it, (ii) inhibiting a physiological change, disease, pathological condition, or disorder, i.e., halting its occurrence, or (iii) relieving a physiological change, disease, pathological condition, or disorder, i.e., causing regression of the disease. For example, in certain embodiments, treating a disease or disorder may reduce the severity of an established disease or disorder in a subject by 1% to 100% compared to a control (e.g., an individual without cancer). In certain embodiments, treating may refer to a 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% reduction in the severity of a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer). For example, treating a disease or disorder may reduce one or more symptoms of the disease or disorder in a subject by 1% to 100% compared to a control (e.g., an individual without cancer). In certain embodiments, treating can refer to a 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% reduction in one or more symptoms of an established disease or disorder. It is understood that treating does not necessarily refer to a cure or complete removal or eradication of a disease or disorder. However, in certain embodiments, treating can refer to a cure or complete removal or eradication of a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer).
[0043] As used herein, the term "prevent" or "preventing" or "prevention" refers to preventing, avoiding, removing, forestalling, stopping, or impeding something from happening, especially by prior action. When reduce, inhibit, or prevent are used herein, it is understood that the use of the other two words is also expressly disclosed unless otherwise indicated. In certain embodiments, it is intended to prevent a disease or disorder associated with chromatin deregulation and / or chromatin dysregulation. The words "prevent," "preventing," and "prevention" also refer to prophylactic or preventative measures to protect a subject (e.g., an individual) from having a given disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) or related complications or to prevent the progression of those complications. In certain embodiments, it is intended to prevent metastasis.
[0044] As used herein, the terms "administering" and "administration" refer to any method of providing one or more of the disclosed antineoplastons, the disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or any combination thereof to a subject. Such methods are well known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to, oral administration, transdermal administration, administration by inhalation, nasal administration, topical administration, intrauterine administration, intratumoral administration, intrahepatic administration, intravaginal administration, ocular administration, intraauricular administration, otic administration, intracerebral administration, rectal administration, sublingual administration, buccal administration, and parenteral administration, including injections such as intravenous administration, intraCSF administration, intraarterial administration, intramuscular administration, and subcutaneous administration.

Administration of a disclosed composition, a disclosed pharmaceutical composition, a disclosed therapeutic agent, a disclosed immunomodulator, a disclosed proteasome inhibitor, a disclosed small molecule, a disclosed endonuclease, a disclosed oligonucleotide, a disclosed RNA therapeutic, or any combination thereof can include direct administration into the CNS or PNS. Administration can be continuous or intermittent. Administration can include a combination of one or more routes. In certain embodiments, administering can include titrating a disclosed composition, a disclosed pharmaceutical composition, a disclosed therapeutic agent, a disclosed immunomodulator, a disclosed proteasome inhibitor, a disclosed small molecule, a disclosed endonuclease, a disclosed oligonucleotide, a disclosed RNA therapeutic, or any combination thereof to identify an effective dose and / or to identify an effective dose that induces only mild adverse and / or side effects.
[0045] As is known in the art, the disclosed small molecules can include any organic or inorganic material that is not a polymer. As is known in the art, the disclosed small molecules include large macromolecules, such as large proteins (e.g., proteins with a molecular weight greater than 2,000, greater than 3,000, greater than 4,000, greater than 5,000, greater than 6,000, greater than 7,000, greater than 8,000, greater than 9,000, or greater than 10,000), large nucleic acids (e.g., proteins with a molecular weight greater than 2,000, greater than 3,000, greater than 4 ... The term "small molecule" may exclude nucleic acids (e.g., nucleic acids having a molecular weight of more than 0, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, 9,000, or 10,000), or large polysaccharides (e.g., polysaccharides having a molecular weight of more than 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, 9,000, or 10,000). In certain embodiments, a "small molecule" may be, for example, a drug that can easily enter cells due to its low molecular weight. In certain embodiments, small molecules can be used in conjunction with the disclosed compositions or disclosed formulations in the disclosed methods.
[0046] In certain aspects, one of skill in the art can determine an effective dose, an effective schedule, and an effective route of administration of the disclosed antineoplastons, the disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or any combination thereof, to treat or prevent a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer). In certain aspects, one of skill in the art can also change, vary, or modify aspects of the administering step to improve the effectiveness of the disclosed antineoplastons, the disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, or any combination thereof.
[0047] "Determining the amount" refers to both the absolute quantification of a particular analyte (e.g., a cancer biomarker) or the determination of the relative abundance of a particular analyte (e.g., a cancer biomarker). The phrase encompasses either direct or indirect measurement of abundance, or both.
[0048] As used herein, "modifying a method" can include altering or changing one or more features or aspects of one or more steps of the disclosed methods of treating and / or preventing cancer.

The same applies to all disclosed precision cancer treatments, disclosed antineoplastons, disclosed pharmaceutical formulations, disclosed anti-chemokines, disclosed anti-cancer agents, disclosed chemotherapeutic agents, or combinations thereof.
[0049] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions, or emulsions, as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions immediately prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, etc.), carboxymethylcellulose and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (e.g., olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical carrier used can be solid, liquid, or gaseous. In some embodiments, examples of solid carriers include lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, gum arabic, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid. In some embodiments, examples of liquid carriers include sugar syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, and water. In some embodiments, examples of gaseous carriers include carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Any convenient pharmaceutical medium can be used in preparing the disclosed compositions for oral dosage forms. For example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and the like can be used to form oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, elixirs, and solutions, while carriers such as starch, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrants, and the like can be used to form oral solid preparations such as powders, capsules, and tablets. Tablets and capsules are the preferred oral dosage units for ease of administration, where solid pharmaceutical carriers are used. If necessary, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by using coating materials such as lecithin, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by using surfactants. These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be ensured by including various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like.It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of injectable pharmaceutical forms can be achieved by including agents that delay absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide, poly(orthoesters), and poly(anhydrides). The rate of drug release can be controlled depending on the drug-to-polymer ratio and the nature of the particular polymer used. Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissue. Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incorporating a sterilizing agent in the form of a sterile solid composition that can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium immediately prior to use. Suitable inert carriers include sugars, such as lactose. It is desirable that at least 95% by weight of the particles of the active ingredient have an effective particle size in the range of 0.01 to 10 micrometers.

The target area or intended target area may be one or more of the subject's organs (e.g., lung, heart, liver, kidney, brain, etc.) that host cancerous cells. In certain embodiments, the target area or intended target area may be any cell or any organ affected by a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer). In certain embodiments, the target area or intended target area may be any organ, tissue, or cell affected by a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer).
[0053] As used herein, " determining " can refer to measuring or confirming the existence and severity of disease or disorder, such as cancer.The methods and techniques used to determine the existence and / or severity of disease or disorder are generally known in the medical field.For example, the method of identifying and / or diagnosing the existence, severity, or both of disease or disorder (such as cancer) is well known in the art.
[0054] As used herein, "effective amount" and "amount effective" may refer to an amount sufficient to achieve a desired result, such as, for example, treatment and / or prevention of a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) or suspected disease or disorder. As used herein, the terms "effective amount" and "effective amount" may refer to an amount sufficient to achieve a desired effect on an undesired condition (e.g., cancer). For example, a "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to achieve a desired therapeutic result or to have an effect on an undesired symptom, but generally insufficient to cause adverse side effects. In certain aspects, a "therapeutically effective amount" refers to the amount of a disclosed precision cancer treatment, a disclosed antineoplaston, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, a disclosed anti-chemokine, a disclosed anti-cancer agent, a disclosed chemotherapeutic agent, or a combination thereof that (i) treats a particular disease, condition, or disorder (e.g., cancer), (ii) attenuates, ameliorate, or eliminates one or more symptoms of a particular disease, condition, or disorder (e.g., cancer), or (iii) delays the onset of one or more symptoms of a particular disease, condition, or disorder (e.g., cancer) described herein. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the disclosed precision cancer treatment, disclosed antineoplaston, disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, disclosed antichemokine, disclosed anti-cancer agent, disclosed chemotherapeutic agent, or combination thereof used; the disclosed method used; the patient's age, weight, general health, sex, and diet; the time of administration; the route of administration; the excretion rate of the disclosed precision cancer treatment, disclosed antineoplaston, disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, disclosed antichemokine, disclosed anti-cancer agent, disclosed chemotherapeutic agent, or combination thereof used; the duration of treatment; the drugs used in combination or simultaneously with the disclosed precision cancer treatment, disclosed antineoplaston, disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, disclosed antichemokine, disclosed anti-cancer agent, disclosed chemotherapeutic agent, or combination thereof used, as well as other factors similarly well known in the medical arts.For example, it is well within the skill of the art to initiate a dose of a disclosed precision cancer treatment, a disclosed antineoplaston, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, a disclosed antichemokine, a disclosed anticancer agent, a disclosed chemotherapeutic agent, or a combination thereof at a level below that required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is reached. If desired, the effective daily dose can then be divided into multiple doses for administration. Consequently, a single dose of a disclosed precision cancer treatment, a disclosed antineoplaston, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, a disclosed antichemokine, a disclosed anticancer agent, a disclosed chemotherapeutic agent, or a combination thereof can contain an amount or submultiple thereof that constitutes a daily dose. In the event of any contraindications, the dosage can be adjusted by an individual physician. The dosage can be varied and administered in one or more daily doses over one or several days. Guidance regarding appropriate dosages for a given class of pharmaceutical products can be found in the literature. In further various embodiments, the preparations can be administered in a "prophylactically effective amount," i.e., an amount effective to prevent a disease or condition, e.g., a disease or disorder resulting from loss, deficiency, and / or mutation of a protein or enzyme.
[0055] As used herein, "monoclonal antibody" refers to a homogeneous antibody population that is involved in highly specific recognition and binding to a single antigenic determinant, or epitope. Monoclonal antibodies are in contrast to polyclonal antibodies, which generally contain different antibodies directed against different antigenic determinants. The term "monoclonal antibody" encompasses both intact, full-length monoclonal antibodies as well as antibody fragments (e.g., Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv, etc.), single-chain (scFv) variants, fusion proteins containing an antibody portion, and any other modified immunoglobulin molecule containing an antigen recognition site. Furthermore, "monoclonal antibody" refers to antibodies produced in several ways, including, but not limited to, by hybridoma, phage selection, recombinant expression, and transgenic animals.
[0056] As used herein, the term "humanized antibody" refers to a form of a non-human (e.g., murine) antibody that is a specific immunoglobulin chain, chimeric immunoglobulin, or fragment thereof that contains minimal non-human sequence. Generally, a humanized antibody is a human immunoglobulin in which residues from the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are replaced by residues from the CDRs of a non-human species (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster, etc.) having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some cases, Fv framework region (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding residues of an antibody from a non-human species having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. Humanized antibodies can be further modified by substituting additional residues either within the Fv framework regions and / or within the replaced non-human residues to improve and optimize the antibody's specificity, affinity, and / or capacity. Generally, a humanized antibody will comprise at least one, and typically two or three, variable domains containing all or substantially all of the CDR regions corresponding to a non-human immunoglobulin, while all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. The humanized antibody may also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region or domain (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin.
[0057] An antibody that "selectively binds" or "specifically binds" to an epitope or receptor refers to an antibody that reacts or associates with the epitope or receptor more frequently, more rapidly, with a longer duration, with higher affinity, or with some combination of the above, than with alternative substances, including unrelated proteins. "Selectively binds" or "specifically binds" means, for example, that the antibody binds to a protein with a KD of about 0.1 mM or less, more usually about 1 μM or less. "Selectively binds" or "specifically binds" sometimes means that the antibody binds to a protein with a KD of about 0.1 mM or less, sometimes about 1 μM or less, sometimes about 0.1 μM or less, sometimes about 0.01 μM or less, and sometimes about 1 nM or less. It is understood that in certain embodiments, an antibody or binding moiety that specifically binds to a first target may or may not specifically bind to a second target. Thus, "specific binding" does not necessarily require (but can include) exclusive binding, e.g., binding to a single target.
[0058] Polyclonal antibodies can be prepared by any known method. Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals (e.g., rabbits, rats, mice, donkeys, goats, etc.) with relevant antigens (purified peptide fragments, full-length recombinant proteins, fusion proteins, etc.) conjugated as needed with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), serum albumin, etc., diluted in sterile saline, and combined with an adjuvant (e.g., complete Freund's adjuvant or incomplete Freund's adjuvant) to form a stable emulsion, via multiple subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injections. Polyclonal antibodies are then recovered from the blood, ascites, etc. of the immunized animals. The collected blood is allowed to clot, and the serum is decanted, clarified by centrifugation, and assayed for antibody titer. Polyclonal antibodies can be purified from the serum or ascites according to standard methods in the art, including affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, etc.
[0059] As used herein, the terms "precision medicine" and "precision cancer treatment" can be used interchangeably and refer to a method of administering a cancer treatment (e.g., ANP treatment) to a subject after measuring the subject's molecular markers to assess the likelihood of response or lack of response to a particular cancer treatment. In some embodiments, for example, the precision cancer treatment can include ANP and one or more other therapeutic agents (which can be determined using the disclosed genomic analysis). With respect to cancer treatment, precision medicine means measuring the subject's molecular markers to select a treatment that is most likely to benefit the subject while sparing the subject from treatments that are unlikely to benefit. In some embodiments, the molecular markers disclosed herein can be used to identify one or more precision cancer treatments to be administered to the subject herein, and / or can be determined by assessing the gene expression of one or more cancer-related genes. In some embodiments, the molecular markers disclosed herein can be used to identify one or more precision cancer treatments to be administered to the subject herein, and may be increased expression of one or more cancer-related genes compared to healthy subjects who do not have or are not suspected of having cancer. In some embodiments, the molecular markers disclosed herein can be used to identify one or more high-precision cancer treatments to be administered to a subject herein, and may be a reduction in the expression of one or more cancer-associated genes compared to healthy subjects who do not have or are not suspected of having cancer. In some embodiments, the molecular markers disclosed herein can be used to identify one or more high-precision cancer treatments to be administered to a subject herein, and may be base mutations and / or variants in the sequence of one or more cancer-associated genes compared to healthy subjects who do not have or are not suspected of having cancer.
[0060] As used herein, the terms "cancer" and "cancerous" refer to or describe a physiological condition in mammals in which a population of cells is characterized by unregulated cell growth.

[0062] "Tumor" and "neoplasm," as used herein, refer to any mass of tissue resulting from excessive cell growth or proliferation, either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), including precancerous lesions. "Metastasis," as used herein, refers to the process by which cancer spreads or migrates from its site of origin to other areas of the body, developing similar cancerous lesions in the new location. "Metastatic" or "metastasizing" cells are cells that lose adhesive contacts with neighboring cells and migrate from the primary site of disease via the bloodstream or lymphatics to invade neighboring body structures.
[0063] The terms "cancer stem cells" or "tumor stem cells" or "solid tumor stem cells" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a population of cells derived from solid tumors that (1) have extensive proliferative potential, (2) are capable of asymmetric cell division to generate one or more types of differentiated progeny with reduced proliferation or developmental potential, and (3) are capable of symmetric cell division for self-renewal or self-sustainment. These properties of "cancer stem cells" or "tumor stem cells" or "solid tumor stem cells" confer upon them the ability to form palpable tumors when serially transplanted into immunocompromised mice, compared with the majority of tumor cells that are unable to form tumors. Cancer stem cells undergo self-renewal versus differentiation in a chaotic manner, forming tumors with abnormal cell types that can change over time as mutations arise.
[0064] The terms "cancer cells" or "tumor cells" and grammatical equivalents refer to the entire population of cells derived from a tumor, including both non-tumorigenic cells, which make up the majority of the tumor cell population, and tumorigenic stem cells (cancer stem cells).
[0065] As used herein, "tumorigenicity" refers to the functional characteristics of solid tumor stem cells, including their ability to self-renew (giving rise to additional tumorigenic cancer stem cells) and to proliferate to generate all other tumor cells (differentiating and thus giving rise to non-tumorigenic tumor cells), which allows them to form tumors.
[0066] As used herein, the "tumorigenicity" of a tumor refers to the ability of a random sample of cells from the tumor to form a palpable tumor upon serial transplantation into immunocompromised mice.
[0067] As used herein, "immune-modulating" refers to the ability of a disclosed isolated nucleic acid molecule, a disclosed precision cancer treatment, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, or a disclosed agent to alter (modulate) one or more aspects of the immune system. The immune system functions to protect organisms from infection and from foreign antigens through cellular and humoral mechanisms involving lymphocytes, macrophages, and other antigen-presenting cells, which regulate each other through multiple cell-to-cell interactions and by producing soluble factors, including lymphokines and antibodies, that have autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine effects on immune cells.
[0068] As used herein, "immunomodulator" refers to an agent capable of adjusting a given immune response to a desired level (e.g., immune enhancement, immune suppression, or induction of immune tolerance).

In certain embodiments, the disclosed immune modulators can be administered using a combination of routes. Administration can also include administration into the hepatic artery or through the hepatic portal vein (HPV). Administration of the immune modulator can be continuous or intermittent, and administration can include a combination of one or more routes.
[0069] As used herein, the term "package insert" is used to refer to instructions customarily included in commercial packaging of a therapeutic product that contain information regarding the indications, use, dosage, administration, contraindications and / or warnings regarding the use of such therapeutic product.
[0070] As used herein, the term "in combination" in the context of the administration of other therapies (e.g., other agents) includes the use of more than one therapy (e.g., drug therapy). Administration "in combination with" one or more other therapeutic agents includes simultaneous (e.g., concurrent) and consecutive administration in any order. The use of the term "in combination" does not restrict the order in which therapies are administered to a subject. As a non-limiting example, a subject having or diagnosed with cancer may be administered a first treatment (e.g., a disclosed precision cancer treatment, a disclosed antineoplaston, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, a disclosed anti-chemokine, a disclosed anti-cancer agent, a disclosed chemotherapeutic agent, or a combination thereof) before (e.g., 1 minute, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours before) administering a second treatment (e.g., a disclosed precision cancer treatment, a disclosed antineoplaston, a disclosed pharmaceutical formulation, a disclosed anti-chemokine, a disclosed anti-cancer agent, a disclosed chemotherapeutic agent, or a combination thereof).

[0179] In certain embodiments, the disclosed molecular markers that may determine one or more appropriate high-precision cancer treatments in one or more disclosed methods can be measured from a sample by high-density expression arrays, DNA microarrays, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR), real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), spotted cDNA arrays, GeneChips, spotted oligo arrays, bead arrays, RNA-Seq, tiling arrays, Northern blotting, hybridization microarrays, in situ hybridization, whole exome sequencing, whole genome sequencing, liquid biopsy, next-generation sequencing, or any combination thereof.
[0180] In some embodiments, the disclosed molecular markers can determine one or more appropriate high-precision cancer treatments for use in the disclosed method for prolonging the survival of a subject, and can be determined from at least one nucleic acid sequence of circulating DNA and / or RNA.In some embodiments, the disclosed molecular markers can be evaluated from circulating tumor DNA and / or RNA (ctDNA and / or ctRNA); circulating cell-free DNA and / or RNA (cfDNA, cfRNA); or any combination thereof.ctDNA / ctRNA refers to the fragmented DNA derived from tumors in the bloodstream that is not associated with cells.cfDNA / cfRNA refers to the DNA that circulates freely in the bloodstream but does not necessarily originate from tumors.In some embodiments, cfDNA / ctDNA can include any whole or fragmented genomic DNA or mitochondrial DNA, and / or cfRNA / ctRNA can include mRNA, tRNA, microRNA, small interfering RNA, and long non-coding RNA (ncRNA). In some embodiments, cfDNA and / or ctDNA can be fragmented DNA with a length of at least about 50 base pairs (bp), about 100bp, about 200bp, about 500bp, or about 1 kbp. In some embodiments, cfRNA and / or ctRNA can be full-length or fragments of mRNA (e.g., at least 70% of full length, at least 50% of full length, at least 30% of full length, etc.). In some embodiments, the disclosed molecular markers can be targeted to any cancer-related gene disclosed herein.
[0181] In certain aspects, the disclosed methods of prolonging survival of a subject can further include surgically removing one or more tumors from the subject. In certain aspects, the disclosed methods of prolonging survival of a subject can further include repeating one or more of the disclosed steps of the disclosed methods.
[0182] For example, in certain aspects, repeating one or more disclosed steps of the disclosed methods of prolonging survival of a subject can include repeating administering a precision cancer treatment to the subject, repeating measuring the subject's tumor response, repeating obtaining a biological sample from the subject, repeating subjecting the biological sample to cfDNA analysis, repeating administering one or more additional therapeutic agents, or any combination thereof.
[0183] In certain embodiments, the disclosed molecular markers can be detected, quantified, and / or analyzed over time (at various time points) to determine the effect of the disclosed precision cancer treatments (e.g., AS treatment) on a subject and / or to determine the response of the subject or the subject's tumor to the precision cancer treatment (e.g., development of resistance, susceptibility, etc.). In certain embodiments, the disclosed methods of extending subject survival can include obtaining multiple measurements from the same subject over time, and the same sample can be quantified at a single time point or over time. In certain embodiments, treatment with the disclosed treatment regimens (e.g., the disclosed precision cancer treatments comprising one or more antineoplastons) can be designed and / or determined based on the state of the cancer and / or the alteration / type of one or more molecular markers. In certain embodiments, the likelihood of success of the disclosed precision cancer treatments can be determined based on the state of the cancer and the type / quantity of one or more molecular markers.
[0184] In some embodiments, the disclosed molecular markers may be derived from genes expressed in one or more cells of a tumor or in immune cells, and may indicate an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, the occurrence of cancer stemness, the onset of metastasis, the state of cancer, or any combination thereof.

[0241] In certain embodiments, the disclosed molecular markers can be detected, quantified, and / or analyzed over time (at various time points) to determine the effect of the disclosed precision cancer treatments (e.g., AS treatment) on a subject and / or to determine the response of the subject or the subject's tumor to the precision cancer treatment (e.g., development of resistance, susceptibility, etc.). In certain embodiments, the disclosed methods of preventing and / or reducing metastasis can include obtaining multiple measurements from the same subject over time, and the same sample can be quantified at a single time point or over time. In certain embodiments, treatment with the disclosed treatment regimens (e.g., the disclosed precision cancer treatments comprising one or more antineoplastons) can be designed and / or determined based on the state of the cancer and / or the alteration / type of one or more molecular markers. In certain embodiments, the likelihood of success of the disclosed precision cancer treatments can be determined based on the state of the cancer and the type / quantity of one or more molecular markers.
[0242] In some embodiments, the disclosed molecular markers may be derived from genes expressed in one or more cells of a tumor or in immune cells, and may indicate an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, the occurrence of cancer stemness, the onset of metastasis, the state of cancer, or any combination thereof.

[0267] VI. Working Examples Example 1 Patients diagnosed with 34 types of terminal cancer were treated with antineoplaston AS2-1 (AS) therapy to reduce and / or eliminate tumors and other signs of cancer, as well as to reduce and / or eliminate the expression of cancer-causing genes. Briefly, patients accepted for treatment herein were diagnosed with various types of terminal, stage IV, multimetastatic cancer and had failed standard treatment regimens, with the exception of a small number of treatment-naive patients who were not candidates for standard treatment due to their highly advanced disease and life expectancy of less than six months. These patients had estimated survival ranging from less than one month to less than six months. Patients had radiological evidence of advanced metastatic cancer performed within four weeks of treatment initiation and genomic analysis, usually ordered at the time of admission, including Guardant 360 blood testing and / or Foundation One and / or Tempus blood or tissue testing and / or SEMA4 tissue testing. Histological confirmation of diagnosis was performed at a medical institution unaffiliated with the Burzynski Clinic (BC).
[0268] Patients received anticancer treatment with AS and A10 (ANP) along with targeted, immunological, hormonal, and / or chemotherapeutic agents. In some cases, palliative radiation therapy (RT) and / or surgery were used in addition to the anticancer drugs. ANP was delivered every 4 hours via a portable infusion pump and subclavian catheter. The AS dose was gradually increased from 0.1 g / kg / day at a flow rate of 50 mL / hour to 250 mL / hour, up to a maximum of 0.4 g / kg / day after 4 days. The A10 dose was increased up to a maximum of 12 g / kg / day. The majority of patients continued treatment with the best tolerated doses of 0.2–0.4 g / kg / day AS and 5 g / kg / day A10 at a flow rate of 200–250 mL / hour.
[0269] Medications deemed necessary for the patient's well-being and that did not interfere with the treatment were prescribed at the discretion of the treating physician. Patients received adequate supportive care and dietary advice. Treatment was performed on an outpatient basis in collaboration with the patient's local physician.
[0270] At baseline, a medical history, physical examination, and necessary clinical, genomic, and radiological evaluations were performed. Measurements of the two perpendicular longest diameters of radiologically significant lesions, including MRI contrast-enhancing lesions in the brain and spinal cord, were performed. Responses were determined using follow-up scans, usually at 4- to 8-week intervals. A complete response (CR) required the disappearance of all enhancing lesions and stable or improving nonenhancing lesions, as well as the disappearance of lesions outside the target tissue by CT or metabolically active lesions by PET. A partial response (PR) required a 50% or greater reduction in the sum of the products of the two perpendicular longest diameters of the lesions, and progressive disease (PD) was defined as an increase of more than 25%. Stable disease (SD) was a state between PR and PD, and a minor response (MR) was defined as a reduction of more than 25%. A mixed response was defined as a CR or PR and PD in some lesions.
[0271] In clinical trials, CR and PR should last at least 4 weeks, and SD should last at least 7 weeks. In private practice, some patients did not consent to follow-up radiological evaluation due to radiation exposure or additional costs. In such cases, response was considered CR. * or PR * Some patients with multiple organ metastases achieved CR or PR in one organ, e.g., the liver, but not in others. These patients were noted as CR (HEP) and SD (OSS), as appropriate, meaning CR in the liver and SD in the bone.
[0272] Molecular response was determined by repeating Guardant 360 testing. Briefly, Guardant 360 testing generally involves cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) panel testing from blood (e.g., plasma) samples, as an alternative to tissue biopsy in cancer diagnosis and for clinical response to targeted agents in cancer treatment. Here, blood samples are collected from patients and provided to Guardant for panel testing. Here, "panel" is defined as five or more ctDNA genes or gene mutation variants tested by the same member on the same day by the same rendering provider (i.e., Guardant).
[0273] Treatment plans were developed based on an evaluation, including the patient's medical history and genomic data. All patients were treated with AS, which covers 158 abnormal genes, plus an additional targeted drug that acts on genes not affected by AS. The genes affected by AS and A10 are listed in Table 1. In some cases, a milder form of chemotherapy was used initially to accelerate response, and for some patients, A10 was added. [Table 1]
[0274] The goal of treatment is to achieve CR and complete disappearance of the abnormal gene from the patient's blood.At this point, the patient is encouraged to continue treatment for up to 8 months, and CR is monitored by radiological evaluation, preferably once every 8 weeks, and blood genomic testing every 3 months.This representative example only includes evaluable patients who have undergone recommended radiological and genomic follow-up evaluation.
[0275] The results of this study are described herein in three parts: Part 1 describes the results in common cancers, Part 2 describes the results in less common cancers, and Part 3 summarizes the results in all evaluable patients.

[0277] Part I - Common Cancers Breast cancer. Nineteen patients with a diagnosis of advanced, late-stage breast cancer were eligible for inclusion in this study. All patients were women, and the age range was 51 to 65 years (11 patients) and 38 to 48 years (8 patients). Patients were divided into three groups: 11 in the HER-2-negative group, 2 in the triple-negative group, and 6 in the HER-2-positive group. One patient had a heterogeneous population of cancer cells, with some HER-2-negative and some HER-2-positive. Ten patients had long-term disease duration, ranging from 4 to 16 years, while nine patients had disease duration ranging from 1 to 3 years. All patients had failed multiple treatment regimens, including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy and / or targeted therapy. The exception was one patient who was treatment-naive because she was near death and was not a candidate for standard treatment. Patients had widespread metastatic disease, including involvement of the brain, meninges, bone, liver, lung, lymph nodes, pleura, peritoneum, ovaries, skin, thyroid, and contralateral breast. Estimated survival was 1 to 3 months in 11 patients and less than 6 months in 8 patients.
[0278] Five patients had received prior treatment with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy; five patients had received prior treatment with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy; three patients had received prior treatment with surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy; and one patient had received prior treatment with radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy. Eight patients had received targeted therapy; one patient had received surgery and targeted therapy. Three patients had received multiple surgeries, and another two had received multiple types of radiation therapy. Five patients had received multiple chemotherapy regimens, and three patients had received multiple targeted therapy regimens. Details are presented in Table 2. [Table 2-1] [Table 2-2]
[0279] Patients were treated as described above. Treatment details and results are presented in Tables 3, 4, 5, and 6. Five patients in the HER-2-negative group achieved a CR. The remaining five patients in this group achieved a PR, and one patient achieved an MR. Brain radiotherapy may have contributed to the response in two patients (Table 3). For four patients, genomic abnormalities identified at baseline were no longer found in the blood after treatment. Two patients in the triple-negative group achieved a CR, including one patient with brain and leptomeningeal involvement. Repeat Guardant360 testing no longer showed multiple mutated genes in the blood for one patient (Table 4). HER-2 +Five patients in the group achieved a CR, of which four had a radiologically confirmed CR in one organ and a different response in the other organ. One patient achieved a PR. Three patients failed to respond to previous targeted therapy with a HER-2 inhibitor but responded when such targeted therapy was combined with AS (Table 5). After treatment, all blood genomic abnormalities on the baseline Guardant 360 test were no longer present, except for the gene CCNE1, which was reduced by 85% in one case (Table 5). [Table 3-1] [Table 3-2] [Table 3-3] [Table 4] [Table 5-1] [Table 5-2] [Table 5-3] [Table 6]
[0280] Table 6 summarizes the responses in a phase 2 trial of AS and A10 in breast cancer compared with responses to previous targeted therapy. As shown in Table 6, a very high objective response rate was observed, with 12 CRs, 6 PRs, and 1 MR, and no PDs. No objective responses were observed with AS and A10 in clinical trials. There were four PDs with previous targeted therapy. Overall survival was 78.9% at 2 years and 42.1% at 3 years.
[0281] An additional group of 14 patients who were not evaluable for this report were treated under Right to Try. Four of these died of cancer and could be classified as PD, but two PRs and one MR were observed, and the patient remains alive. The addition of these seven cases increases the number of patients to 26. The following responses were observed for this expanded group: CR (12), 46.1%; PR (8), 30.7%; MR (2), 7.6%; PD (4), 15.3%; and objective response (OR) 84.7%.
[0282] Table 7 presents the genes and site mutations affected by antineoplaston AS2-1 based on clinical results for breast cancer. [Table 7]
[0283] A total of eight patients with advanced colorectal cancer were treated. This group consisted of four women and four men, ranging in age from 50 to 78 years. One patient was diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma, and the remaining patients were diagnosed with colon adenocarcinoma. Disease duration ranged from 3 to 7 years in four patients and less than 1 to 2 years in the remaining three. The patients had widespread metastatic disease, including four with liver, lung, and lymph node metastases and four with peritoneal metastases. Estimated survival was less than 4 months in one patient and less than 6 months in five patients. One patient had received prior treatment with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy; three patients had received surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy; three additional patients had only surgery; and one had no prior treatment (Table 8). [Table 8]
[0284] Patients were treated as described above. Treatment details and results are presented in Tables 9, 10, and 11. Four patients achieved CR, two MR, and one SD. Objective responses were observed for both colon and rectal cancer patients. Table 10 summarizes the responses and compares them with responses in the Phase 2 colon cancer trials of AS and A10 and responses to previous targeted therapy. As shown in Table 10, while there were no objective responses in clinical trials or to previous targeted therapy, a very high response rate was observed for this treatment group, with four CRs, one MR, and one SD. [Table 9-1] [Table 9-2] [Table 10]
[0285] Patients showed significant improvement and decreased concentrations of mutant genomic markers in their blood, as summarized in Table 11. Pretreatment, estimated survival was less than 4-6 months. However, after treatment, survival at 4 years was 77.8%. [Table 11]
[0286] An additional group of 8 patients, not evaluable for this report, was treated under Right to Try. Of these, 4 died of cancer and were classified as PD, 4 achieved MR, 3 are alive, and 1 died of other causes. For the expanded group, the following responses were observed: CR (4), 25%; PR (0), 0%; MR (7), 43.7%; SD (1), 6.2%; PD (4), 25%; OR (12), 74.9%.
[0287] Head and Neck Cancer. A group of four patients with a diagnosis of end-stage head and neck cancer were eligible for inclusion in this study. This group consisted of three men and one woman. The duration of disease in this group ranged from 2 to 14 years, and life expectancy ranged from less than 1 month to 6 months. Patients had widespread metastatic disease involving lymph nodes, lung, pleura, liver, and bone. Pathological diagnoses for this group of patients included squamous cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the submandibular gland, and poorly differentiated acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland. Prior treatment included surgery, radiation, three chemotherapy regimens, and two targeted therapies; surgery, radiation, and targeted therapies; surgery, radiation, and two chemotherapy regimens; and radiation and targeted therapies (Table 12). [Table 12]
[0288] Patients were treated as described above. Details and results are presented in Tables 13, 14, and 15. One patient each achieved PR, MR, and SD, and one patient experienced PD. Genomic analysis showed activity against two mutated genes and one amplified gene (Table 15). Table 14 summarizes the response compared to previous clinical trials with AS and A10, which did not show OR, and targeted therapy. [Table 13] [Table 14] [Table 15]
[0289] Pretreatment estimated survival ranged from less than 1 month to 6 months. As a result of treatment, estimated survival increased from more than 4 months to more than 12 months, accompanied by symptomatic improvement. An additional group of two patients, not evaluable for this report, received treatment under Right to Try. Both discontinued treatment before response could be assessed. Both patients are currently alive.
[0290] Kidney Cancer. Two patients with a diagnosis of end-stage renal cancer were eligible for inclusion in this study. Both patients were 39-year-old men. Disease duration ranged from 1 to 3 years, with estimated survival ranging from less than 2 to 6 months. The patients had widespread metastatic disease to lymph nodes, lung, brain, bone, and the contralateral kidney. The pathological diagnosis for these patients was renal cell carcinoma. Prior treatment included surgery, three types of radiation therapy, and targeted...
