Patent number: 9820987Abstract: The described invention provides a method of treating a patient with an epithelial cancer comprising administering a composition comprising a therapeutic amount of an inhibitor of a BTK protein and one or more chemotherapeutic agent(s) selected from the group consisting of an antimetabolite, a platinum coordination compound, an alkylating agent and a combination thereof, wherein the composition is effective to reduce one or more of tumor cell growth, tumor cell clonogenicity, tumor cell proliferation, tumor cell viability and tumor volume and the therapeutic amount of the inhibitor of a BTK protein and the one or more chemotherapeutic agent(s) exerts a synergistic effect. The described invention also provides methods of treating a chemotherapy drug-resistant cancer and sensitizing a cancer patient to chemotherapy.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Bionsil S.R.L. in LiquidazioneInventors: Marialuisa Lavitrano, Emanuela Grassilli, Kristian Helin

Publication number: 20160193211Abstract: The present application describes therapies for the effective treatment of colon and colorectal carcinomas. The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical kit, comprising combinations of a BTK inhibitor and fluorouracil, for the treatment of colon and colorectal carcinomas also in the case in which such carcinomas are drug resistant and therefore allows to overcome cancer drug resistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2014Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Marialuisa LAVITRANO, Emanuela GRASSILLI, Roberto GIOVANNONI, Fabio PISANO, Gabriele ROMANO, Laura MASIERO, Maria Grazia CERRITO
