Patent number: 6913744Abstract: A method of treating prostate cancer in a living mammal includes local administration of a composition that includes a therapeutically effective concentration of collagenase. In one embodiment, a method of treating prostate cancer in a living mammal includes local administration of a composition that includes a therapeutically effective concentration of collagenase and at least one of a glycosidase, a protease, a nuclease, a lipase, an esterase, a plasminogen activator, a streptokinase, and combinations thereof. Preferably a glycosidase, such as, for example, hyaluronidase, is administered. Compositions used in methods for treating prostate cancer can also include or be administered with calcium ions, a nonionic surfactant, such as, for example, TritonĀ® X-100, and an antibiotic, such as, for example, gentamicin. Another method of treating prostate cancer in a living mammal includes activating PSA in vivo by, for example, locally administering calcium ions.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2002Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignee: Immunolytics Inc.Inventor: Muharrem Gokcen

Patent number: 6296847Abstract: The invention provides a composition and method for treating benign prostatic hypertrophy in mammals so as to cause the dissolution and regression of hypertrophied prostatic tissue and thereby provide relief from the obstructive symptoms associated with the disease. The present composition preferably comprises a sterile pyrogen-free solution of the hydrolytic enzymes collagenase and hyaluronidase, a nonionic surfactant, and an antibiotic; all provided, in a pharmaceutically acceptable, buffered, isotonic, aqueous carrier. The present method preferably comprises the direct intraprostatic injection of a safe and therapeutically effective dose of the composition via the transurethral route of administration.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1993Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Immunolytics, Inc.Inventors: Muharrem Gokcen, Terry J.
