Abstract: This invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations of gemcitabine-[phenyl-benzoxy-L-alaninyl)]-phosphate, a monophosphate derivative of the well-known oncology drug gemcitabine. In particular, the invention relates to formulations which comprise a polar aprotic solvent, preferably dimethyl acetamide (DMA). Formulations comprising these solvent provide therapeutically effective treatments of gemcitabine-[phenyl-benzoxy-L-alaninyl)]-phosphate. The invention also relates to methods of using said formulations and kits comprising said formulations.

Abstract: Disclosed is NUC-1031 (gemcitabine-[phenyl-benzoxy-L-alaninyl)]-phosphate), a ProTide derivative of gemcitabine, for use in targeting cancer stem cells. This targeting of cancer stem cells may be employed in the prevention or treatment of cancer. NUC-1031 may be used in treatment of relapsed or refractory cancer in a human patient. Without wishing to be bound by any hypothesis, it is believed that the ability of NUC-1031 to target cancer stem cells contributes to its utility in the treatment of relapsed or refractory cancers.

Abstract: Provided are medical uses and methods for targeting cancer stem cells employing ProTide compounds, particularly in the prevention or treatment of cancer. The ProTide may be other than one selected from the group consisting of: NUC-1031; a ProTide derived from cordycepin; and a ProTide derived from 8-chloroadenosine. The medical uses and methods for targeting cancer stem cells are particularly useful in the treatment of relapsed or refractory cancer in human patients. Also provided are methods of selecting patients who will benefit from prevention or treatment of cancer through the medical uses or methods of treatment of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds comprising a salt of a diphosphate phosphoramidate of a nucleoside drug, e.g., clofarabine. The compounds are useful in the treatment of cancer, e.g., leukemia.

Abstract: This invention relates to a combination of gemcitabine-[phenyl-benzoxy-L-alaninyl)]-phosphate (chemical name: 2?-Deoxy-2?,2?-difluoro-D-cytidine-5?—O-[phenyl (benzoxy-L-alaninyl)] phosphate) (NUC-1031) and a platinum-based anticancer agent selected from cisplatin, picoplatin, lipoplatin and triplatin. The combinations are useful in the treatment of cancer and particularly biliary tract and bladder cancer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a prodrug of the monophosphate nucleotide of the well-known oncology drug gemcitabine. Specifically, it relates to gemcitabine-[phenyl-benzoxy-L-alaninyl)]-phosphate when present as a single phosphate diastereoisomer and, in particular, it relates to the (S)-phosphate diastereoisomer which offers a remarkable and unexpected increase in solubility relative to the (R)-diastereoisomer. The (S)-phosphate epimer is also preferentially taken up into cyclodextrin solutions over the (R)-diastereoisomer.
