摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for prevention and clinical treatment of various forms of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by using inhibitors of adenosine deaminase (ADA). In particular, various formulations and dosing regimens of ADA inhibitors such as pentostatin are provided for the treatment of all forms of GVHD, especially steroid-refractory acute and chronic GVHD.

Compositions and methods are provided for prevention and clinical treatment of various forms of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by using inhibitors of adenosine deaminase (ADA). In particular, various formulations and dosing regimens of ADA inhibitors such as pentostatin are provided for the treatment of humans in vivo as well as for ex vivo conditioning of organ transplants in order to specifically suppress T-lymphocyte mediated immune responses while minimizing systemic toxicity of the drug.

摘要:
Methods are provided for treating patients with epigenetic diseases, especially those associated with aberrant DNA methylation such as hematological disorders and cancer. By administering a DNA methylation inhibitor to the patients following unique dosing regimens, the disease can be efficaciously treated with reduced toxic side effects.
摘要:
Methods are provided for treating hematological disorders by inhibition of DNA hypomethylation and histone deacetylase. Such disorders include, for example, acute promyelocytic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and sickle cell anemia. The methods comprise: administering to a patient suffering from the disease a therapeutically effective amount of a DNA methylation inhibitor such as a cysteine analog such as decitabine, in combination with an effective amount of histone deacetylase inhibitor such as hydroxamic acid, cyclic peptide, benzamide, butyrate, and depudecin.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for treating diseases associated with aberrant silencing of gene expression such as cancer and hematological disorders by reestablishing the gene expression through inhibition of DNA hypomethylation and histone deacetylase. The method comprises: administering to a patient suffering from the disease a therapeutically effective amount of a DNA methylation inhibitor such as a cysteine analog such as decitabine, in combination with an effective amount of histone deacetylase inhibitor such as hydroxamic acid, cyclic peptide, benzamide, butyrate, and depudecin.

摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for treating diseases associated with abnormal cell proliferation such as cancer by storing inherent tumor-suppressing functions of neoplastic cells through DNA hypomethylation. The method comprises: delivering to a patient suffering from cancer a therapeutically effective amount of a DNA methylation inhibitor such as decitabine, in combination with an effective amount of an anti-neoplastic agent whose activity as an anti-neoplastic agent in vivo is adversely affected by aberrant DNA methylation. The anti-neoplastic agent can be an alkylating agent, an antibiotic agent, an antimetabolic agent, a retinoid, a hormonal agent, a plant-derived agent, an anti-angiogenesis agent and a biologic agent such as monoclonal antibody and interferon.
