摘要:
Neuroblastoma is a tumor primarily affecting children. The current standard of care is not curative except in the rare case of a surgically-resectable lesion, although very high survival rates have been documented for low-risk neuroblastoma and moderate-risk neuroblastoma. Taurolidine was developed as an anti-infective, but it has been found to have surprising oncolytic activity in cell cultures and now in a rodent cancer model. The efficacy in rodent model is superior to the efficacy in cell culture. This invention relates to the use of taurolidine hydrolysis products (tarultam and/or taurinamide and/or methylene glycol and/or selected combinations thereof) for the treatment of neuroblastoma in juvenile mammals.
摘要:
A therapeutic nanoparticle comprising: at least one oncologic drug; and taurolidine, whereby to provide the simultaneous delivery of the at least one oncologic drug and taurolidine, thereby harnessing the synergistic effect of taurolidine on the at least one oncologic drug.
摘要:
A method for treating a cancer which overexpresses any of N-myc genes, C-myc genes and/or L-myc genes in a mammalian body, the method comprising: administering a composition to the mammalian body, wherein the composition comprises at least one from the group consisting of taurolidine; taurultam; taurinamide; methylene glycol; taurultam and taurinamide in a ratio of 1 taurultam:7 taurinamide; and taurultam, taurinamide and methylene glycol in a ratio of 1 taurultam:7 taurinamide:1 methylene glycol.
摘要:
A composition comprising: hydrolysable taurolidine; and a hydrolysable lipophilic excipient; wherein the hydrolysable taurolidine is contained within the hydrolysable lipophilic excipient.
摘要:
Placement of a vascular access device (intravenous, intra-arterial and/or intra-osseous vascular access) in a non-sterile environment greatly increases the risk of infection via the vascular access device. This invention provides an approach for accomplishing sterilization of the site where vascular access will be attempted under non-sterile field conditions. In addition, this invention provides a sterile vascular connector pre-loaded with an antimicrobial, e.g., Taurolidine. Use of the vascular connector provides the antimicrobial concurrently with achieving vascular access, which limits the risk of infection despite access placement under non-sterile field conditions.
