Patent

CA 2401304

This invention relates to combination chemotherapy, particularly involving vitamin D or a derivative thereof. In one aspect, the invention provides a method of killing a cell by first administering to the cell vitamin D (or a derivative) and subsequently administering to the cell a cytotoxic agent. Where this strategy is applied to an intact tumor, the present invention provides a method of retarding the growth of the tumor by first administering vitamin D (or a derivative) to the tumor and subsequently administering the cytotoxic agent. A further aspect of the invention concerns a method of treating prostate cancer within a patient by co-administration of vitamin D (or a derivative) and a glucocorticoid to the patient. In yet a further aspect, the invention provides an improved method of treating a patient with vitamin-D involving the adjunctive administration of zoledronate.

L'invention concerne une chimiothérapie combinée, utilisant notamment la vitamine D ou un dérivé de celle-ci. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne un procédé de destruction d'une cellule, qui consiste à administrer à cette cellule de la vitamine D (ou un dérivé), puis à administrer à la cellule un agent cytotoxique. Lorsque ce processus est appliqué à une tumeur intacte, un procédé permettant de retarder la croissance de la tumeur est utilisé, procédé qui consiste d'abord à administrer de la vitamine D (ou un dérivé) à la tumeur, puis à administrer l'agent cytotoxique. L'invention concerne également une méthode de traitement du cancer de la prostate chez un patient, qui consiste à lui co-administrer de la vitamine D (ou un dérivé) ainsi qu'un glucocorticoïde. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne une méthode de traitement améliorée qui consiste à administrer à un patient de la vitamine D ainsi que du zolédronate.
