Abstract: Provided are methods of treating myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), oligoblastic acute myelogenous leukemia (O-AML), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) using 765IGF-MTX and other IGF-receptor-targeted agents, and formulations for delivering 765IGF-MTX and other IGF-receptor-targeted agents to patients. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions for use in treating MDS, O-AML, and CMML.
Abstract: Fusion proteins comprising cytokines, particularly insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and variants thereof, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and other ligands to the EGF receptor, are provided. The fusion proteins further comprise SEQ ID NO:1 or other segments having lysine, glutamic acid, or aspartic acid residues. Uses for the fusion proteins are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating cancer involving administering an insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1 receptor) agonist and an anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agent. Also provided are compounds for treating cancer comprising an IGF-1-receptor ligand coupled to an anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agent. Also provided are compounds for treating cancer comprising an insulin-receptor ligand coupled to an anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agent.
Abstract: The invention provides an insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor ligand carrying a therapeutic radionuclide for treatment of cancer is provided. A method of treating cancer using the IGF-1 receptor ligand carrying a therapeutic radionuclide is also provided. An anti-cancer therapeutic agent containing an IGF-1 receptor ligand linked to a toxin is also provided, as are methods of using the toxin conjugates for treatment of cancer.

Abstract: Methods of treating cancer are provided. The methods are improved methods of radiation therapy involving administering an IGF-1-receptor agonist along with therapeutic radiation to a mammal afflicted with cancer. The IGF-1-receptor agonist causes the cancer cells to divide and move into more sensitive stages of the cell cycle, sensitizing the cancer cells to be killed more efficiently by radiation. Also provided are methods of treating cancer involving administering radiation to a mammal together with administering a growth-hormone agonist, an insulin-receptor agonist, or sugar.
