    摘要: The present invention discloses a method for therapeutically treating mammals, including but not limited to humans, to increase the relative insulin producing performance of endogenous pancreatic β-cells and to cause differentiation of pancreatic epithelial cells into insulin producing β-cells. Oral administration of a DP IV inhibitor causes the active form of GLP-1 to be preserved longer under physiological conditions. The extended presence of GLP-1, in particular in the pancreatic tissue facilitates differentiation and regeneration of the β-cells already present that are in need of repair. These repaired insulin producing cells can contribute to the correction and maintenance of normal physiological glycemic levels.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a medicament intended for treating NSCL, pancreatic, colon or breast cancer tumors or tumor metastases in combination with an EGFR kinase inhibitor, characterized in that an mTOR inhibitor is used, and wherein the inhibitors are intended for administration either simultaneously or sequentially, and with or without administration of additional agents or treatments, such as other anti-cancer drugs or radiation therapy. The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a medicament intended for treating tumors or tumor metastases in a patient in combination of an EGFR kinase inhibitor, characterized in that an mTOR inhibitor that binds to and directly inhibits both mTORC1 and mTORC2 kinases is used, and wherein the inhibitors are intended for administration either simultaneously or sequentially, and with or without administration of additional agents or treatments, such as other anti-cancer drugs or radiation therapy. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an EGFR kinase inhibitor and an mTOR inhibitor that binds to and directly inhibits both mTORC1 and mTORC2 kinases, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A preferred example of an EGFR kinase inhibitor that can be used in practicing the methods of this invention is the compound erlotinib HCl (also known as TARCEVA®).
