The present invention provides combination therapy methods of treating proliferative diseases (such as cancer) comprising a first therapy comprising administering to an individual an effective amount of a taxane in a nanoparticle composition, and a second therapy which may include, for example, radiation, surgery, administration of chemotherapeutic agents (such as an anti-VEGF antibody), or combinations thereof. Also provided are methods of administering to an individual a drug taxane in a nanoparticle composition based on a metronomic dosing regime.

The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a fully human anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) monoclonal antibody and a preparation method as well as application thereof. In the invention, a large-capacity natural human phage antibody library is constructed; a fully human anti-VEGF antibody 11A7 is screened from the library; an amino acid sequence of a heavy chain variable region of the antibody is shown as SEQ ID NO: 6; and an amino acid sequence of a light chain variable region of the antibody is shown as SEQ ID NO: 8. The invention also discloses the preparation method of the 11A7 antibody, a nucleotide sequence encoding the 11A7 antibody, a nucleic acid sequence-containing expression vector and a host cell. Compared with a humanized antibody bevacizumab, the 11A7 antibody has higher affinity of the antibody and higher capacity of suppressing proliferation of tumor cells and can be used for obviously suppressing growth of tumors and preparing anti-tumor medicaments.

A magnetically controlled pump is implanted into the brain of a patient and delivers a plurality of medicating agents mixed with Avastin at a controlled rate corresponding to the specific needs of the patient. The current invention comprises a flexible double walled pouch that is formed from two layers of polymer. The pouch is alternately expanded and contracting by magnetic solenoid. When contracted, the medicating agent Avastin is pushed out of the pouch through a plurality of needles. When the pouch is expanded, surrounding cerebral fluid is drawn into the space between the double walls of the pouch from which it is drawn through a catheter to an analyzer. In cases where a tumor resection is not performed, an intratumoral catheter will be implanted. Cerebral fluid drawn from the patient is analyzed. The operation of the apparatus and hence the treatment is remotely controlled based on these measurements and displayed through an external controller.

The present invention provides small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, compositions containing the molecules, and methods of using the molecules and compositions to treat breast cancer. In one aspect, a multi-targeted siRNAi cocktail is disclosed. The siRNA molecules may be encapsulated in nanoparticles to further enhance their anti-cancer activity. The compositions may also be used in combination with other anti-cancer agents, such as bevacizumab.

Therapeutic combinations of immunoconjugates that bind to FOLR1 (e.g., IMGN853) with anti-VEGF agents (e.g., bevacizumab), a platinum-based agent, and / or doxorubicin are provided. Methods of administering the combinations to treat cancers, e.g., ovarian cancers, with greater clinical efficacy and / or decreased toxicity are also provided.

The present invention relates generally to methods for treating cancer. In one respect, the present invention relates to a method of treating a hematological cancer (e.g., multiple myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma) comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a histone deacetylase inhibitor, for example, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor as described herein, for example, PXD-101. In another respect, the present invention relates to a method of treating cancer (e.g., solid tumor cancer, e.g., rectal cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer; hematological cancer, e.g., multiple myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma) comprising administering to a patient in need thereof, a first amount of a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, for example, a histone deacetylase inhibitor as described herein, for example, PXD-101, and a second amount of an other chemotherapeutic agent, for example, an other chemotherapeutic agent selected from: an antibody against VEGF, AVASTIN® (bevacizumab), an antibody against CD20, rituximab, bortezomib, thalidomide, dexamethasone, vincristine, doxorubicin, and melphalan, wherein the first and second amounts together comprise a therapeutically effective amount.
