CA 2294131

Provided for use in site-directed chemotherapy are compositions comprising chemotherapeutic agents targeted to either arrested metastatic cells via a cell-surface marker associated with metastasis; or are targeted to type 1 endothelial cells of the tissue comprising the organ site at which metastatic cells arrest such that (a) any arrested metastatic tumor cells are then exposed to the chemotherapeutic agent, and/or (b) the endothelial cells are altered thereby inhibiting the ability of the metastatic tumor cells to arrest, survive or proliferate in that site. Also provided are methods of site- directed chemotherapy of metastatic cells of non-lymphoid tumor origin. Site- directed chemotherapy comprises introducing a therapeutically effective amount of a chemotherapeutic agent directly into a vascular access of the organ having, or suspected of having, arrested metastatic cells thereby concentrating the therapy in the prometastatic territories of the treated organ.

L'invention concerne des compositions de chimiothérapie dirigée, comprenant des agents chimiothérapiques ciblés soit sur des cellules métastatiques essaimées via un marqueur de surface cellulaire associé à la métastase, soit sur les cellules endothéliales de type 1 du tissu formant le site organique dans lequel les cellules métastatiques ont essaimé, de manière à: (a) que toute cellule tumorale métastatique essaimée soit exposée à l'agent chimiothérapique, et/ou (b) modifier les cellules endothéliales et inhiber ainsi la capacité des cellules tumorales métastatiques à se fixer, à survivre ou à proliférer sur ce site. L'invention concerne en outre des méthodes de chimiothérapie dirigée agissant sur des cellules métastatiques d'origine tumorale non lymphoïde. La chimiothérapie dirigée consiste à introduire une dose d'agent chimiothérapique thérapeutiquement efficace directement dans une voie d'accès vasculaire de l'organe présentant ou suspecté de présenter des cellules métastatiques essaimées, ce qui permet de concentrer le traitement sur les zones prométastatiques de l'organe traité.
