Abstract: The invention relates to a combination comprising a microtubule active agent; and one or more pharmaceutically active agents; pharmaceutical compositions comprising said combination; methods of treatment comprising said combination; processes for making said combination; and a commercial package comprising said combination.

Abstract: The invention relates to a combination which comprises: (a) an epothilone; and (b) a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor; and optionally (c) a derivative of rapamycin; for simultaneous, separate or sequential use, in particular, for the delay of progression or treatment of a proliferative disease, especially cancer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a combination which comprises (a) an antineoplastic antimetabolite and (b) an epothilone derivative of formula I wherein A represents O or NRN, wherein RN is hydrogen or lower alkyl, R is hydrogen or lower alkyl, R? is methyl, methoxy, ethoxy, amino, methylamino, dimethylamino, aminomethyl or methylthio, and Z is O or a bond, and optionally at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or, optionally, a standard anti-diarrheal, for simultaneous, separate or sequential use, in particular for the treatment of a proliferative disease; a pharmaceutical composition comprising such a combination; the use of such a combination for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a proliferative disease; a commercial package or product comprising such a combination as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use; and to a method of treatment of a warm-blooded animal.

Abstract: Epothilone derivatives are co-administered with an antidiarrheal agent, e.g., a corticosteroid, or a glucocorticoid steroid in the treatment of a proliferative disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vivo regimen for the treatment of a proliferative disease, including non small cell lung carcinoma, where an epothilone, including epothiline B, is administered in a loading dose followed by at least one maintenance doses.

Abstract: The invention relates to combinations of (a) an epothilone with (b) two or more other antineoplastic agents for simultaneous, separate or sequential use, in particular for the delay of progression or treatment of a proliferative disease.
