Abstract:
The present invention includes a method for the treatment of an advanced ovarian cancer, comprising: identifying a patient with advanced ovarian cancer; and administering to the patient an effective amount of truncated, dominant negative form of Galectin-3 sufficient to reduce the advanced ovarian cancer. In certain aspects, the truncated, dominant negative form of Galectin-3 is provided in an amount sufficient to reduce at least one of growth, motility, invasion, angiogenesis, or prevents Akt/NF-κB activation of the ovarian cancer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel composition of matter useful for the treatment of neoplastic diseases. The novel composition is synergistic and comprised of galectin-3C in combination with a proteasome inhibitor, the combination having a pharmacologic activity greater than the expected additive effect of its individual components. Other embodiments of the invention provide novel synergistic compositions of galectin-3C with a proteasome inhibitor capable of reducing or overcoming resistance that develops to the proteasome inhibitor or reducing the adverse side effects from the proteasome inhibitor through increasing the therapeutic efficacy of lower doses.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a method for the treatment of myeloma comprising identifying a patient with myeloma and administering to the patient a synergistic, effective amount of a truncated, dominant negative form of Gaicctin-3 and a proteasome inhibitor.
