Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treatment of a tumour cell which comprises administering to a subject in need of treatment an effective amount of a topoisomerase-II poison, e.g. etoposide, in combination with a bis-dioxypiperazine, e.g. dexrazoxane wherein said subject is further treated with radiation.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the treatment of diseases and disorders that are mediated by histone deacetylase (HDAC), for example, cancer, with Belinostat™ (also known as (E)-N-hydroxy-3-(3-phenylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acrylamide; PXD101; and PX 105684), and more particularly, to improvement treatments of such diseases (for example, cancers, for example, leukemias), which employ prolonged continuous infusion (e.g., prolonged continuous intravenous infusion) of Belinostat™.

Abstract: The present application discloses substituted 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-indolin-2-one compounds (oxindole compounds) of the formula and the use of such compounds for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of cancer in a mammal, in particular in humans.
