The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management or prevention of cancer. The methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more inhibitors of JNK in combination with the administration of an effective amount of one or more other agents useful for cancer therapy. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more inhibitors of JNK in combination with one or more other agents useful for cancer therapy. In particular, the invention is directed to methods of treatment and prevention of cancer by the administration of an effective amount of one or more inhibitors of JNK in combination with standard and experimental chemotherapies, hormonal therapies, bone marrow transplants, stem cell replacement therapies, biological therapies/immunotherapies and/or radiation therapies for treatment or prevention of cancer. Also included are methods of treatment of cancer by the administration of one or more inhibitors of JNK in combination with surgery, alone or in further combination with standard and experimental chemotherapies, hormonal therapies, bone marrow transplants, stem cell replacement therapies, biological therapies/immunotherapies and/or radiation therapies.

This invention relates to single session image guided all field simultaneous radiation therapy combined with hyperthermia. Hyperthermia renders the radiation resistant cells as more radiation sensitive cells. The high and super-high dose rate radiation greatly improves the RBE of the photon radiation. It also minimizes photon radiation therapy's OER and cell cycle dependent tumor cell kill by minimizing the repair capacity of cell after photon radiation. Single session hyperthermia and radiation therapy overcomes the thermotolerance-associated inefficiency of hyperthermia treatment as it is when hyperthermia is combined with fractionated, lower dose rate radiation. The synergetic effects of sublethal damage repair inhibiting single session hyperthermia-combined with high dose and dose rate single session radiation therapy, and combined chemotherapy brings the photon radiation therapy's tumor cure and control capabilities closer to high LET radiation therapy.

The present invention concerns methods for treating cancer, such as pancreatic cancer, using combination therapies, including the combination of a synthetic triterpenoid, e.g., CDDO-Me, and gemcitabine.

The present invention provides combination therapy methods of treating a proliferative disease (such as cancer) comprising administering to an individual an effective amount of a colchicine or thiocolchicine dimer and an anti-VEGF antibody. The method may further comprise administering an effective amount of a taxane. The colchicine or thiocolchicine dimer and the taxane (such as paclitaxel) may be present in the form of nanoparticles, such as nanoparticles comprising the drug and a carrier protein such as albumin.

This invention includes compositions and methods for combination chemotherapy, particularly involving at least one chemotherapeutic agent used in combination with chlorotoxin or a derivative thereof.

The present invention is directed to the combination therapy of an anti-CD20 antibody with a BTK inhibitor for the treatment of cancer, especially to the combination therapy of CD20 expressing cancers with a type I anti-CD20 antibody or an afucosylated humanized B-Ly1 antibody and a BTK inhibitor.

Pharmaceutical compositions for treating viral, proliferative and inflammatory diseases are disclosed comprising an amount of pharmaceutically acceptable vitamin B12 compounds in combination with anti-viral, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory compounds. Vitamin B12 compounds are administered separately, simultaneously or in combination with anti-viral, anti-proliferative and/or anti-inflammatory compounds to provide an enhanced therapeutic effect for treating viral, proliferative and inflammatory diseases.

Aerosol formulations comprising glycopyrronium bromide in combination with formoterol are useful for the prevention or treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The formulation further comprises a HFA propellant, a co-solvent, and an amount of inorganic acid sufficient to stabilize both the glycopyrronium bromide and the formoterol components. Optionally the formulation may further comprise beclometasone dipropionate.

This invention relates to combination therapies involving anticancer chemotherapeutic agents and isoflavones or analogues thereof.

This invention concerns methods of treating a patient diagnosed with glioblastoma comprising administering to said patient a therapy comprising an effective amount of an anti-VEGF antibody and a chemotherapeutic.

Combination therapy is disclosed herein for the treatment an arthritic condition (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or psoriatic arthritis). The therapies disclosed herein comprise administering tranilast or an analogous compound in combination with a pharmaceutical agent, such as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a disease-modifying drug, a COX-2 inhibitor, an antibiotic, an analgesic or combination thereof.

The present invention provides methods for treating an individual having solid or lymphatic tumor comprising local administration to the site of the tumor an infectious agent an immunomodulator (including a combination of immunomodulators). The methods may further comprise local administration to the site of the tumor inactivated tumor cells. Also provided are compositions and kits for the cancer therapy methods.

The invention belongs to the production technology for antitumor drugs, and discloses uses of sorafenib and sorafenib salts in preparing drugs for reversing BCRP protein-mediated multidrug resistance of tumors. According to the present invention, the sorafenib and the sorafenib salts are combined with antitumor drugs, such that the sensitivity of multidrug resistant tumor cells to the antitumor drugs are recovered; the prepared drugs are applicable for providing combination chemotherapy for the clinical chemotherapy resistant patients or preventing the drug resistance of the tumor cells from generation.

The present invention relates to therapeutic combinations comprising (a) Compound (1), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as herein described, (b) Compound (2), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as herein described, and optionally (c) ribavirin, and methods of using such therapeutic combinations for treating HCV infection or alleviating one or more symptoms thereof in a patient.

The present invention provides a method to treat ovarian cancer by the administration of effective amounts of picoplatin and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin.
