Patent

CA 2456983

The present invention provides a combination therapy using eflornithine (DFMO) and PCV (matulane, lomustine and vincristine) in the treatment of anaplastic gliomas. In contrast to the results seen with glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic gliomas responded better to the combination of DFMO and PCV than to either the PCV combination or DFMO alone, extending patient survival by approximately two years.

L'invention concerne une thérapie de combinaison utilisant de l'éflornithine (DFMO) et du PCV (matulane, lomustine et vincristine) dans le traitement de gliomes anaplasiques. A la différence des résultats observés avec le glioblastome multiforme, les gliomes anaplasiques répondent mieux à la combinaison de DFMO et PCV que soit à la combinaison de PCV soit au DFMO tout seul, prolongeant la vie des patients d'environ deux ans.
