  • Publication number: 20180051284
    Abstract: The present invention refers to inhibitors of the miR-17-92 cluster and to their use as medicaments, in particular in the treatment of multiple myeloma and other malignancies. More in particular, the present invention refers to an LNA/DNA gapmer which binds to a region of the primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) of the miR-17-92 cluster Said inhibitors can be used for the treatment of tumors related to an overexpression of any of the miRNAs of the miR-17-92 cluster. Pharmaceutical compositions are also within the scope of the invention.

  • Patent number: 9404111
    Abstract: Inhibitors of miRNAs 221 and 222, and their use as medicaments in the treatment of multiple myeloma. The inhibitors inhibit miRNAs 221 and 222 of the type of LNA-miRNAs and have the formula +C*A*G*+A*+C*A*+A*T*+G*T*+A*+G*C, and formula C*+A*+G*+A*T*+G*T*+A*+G*C wherein letters with symbol “+” indicate the positions of LNA and symbol “*” indicates phosphorothioate bonds.

  • Patent number: 9226897
    Abstract: The present invention describe nanocomplexes also called auto-assembling nanoparticles comprising biphosphonates, lipid nanovectors and inorganic nanovectors. In particular the invention describes zoledronic acid complexed with calcium phosphate base nanoparticles; said particles in their turn mixed with lipidic particles e.g. liposomes. Said nanocomplexes are useful, and showed to be efficient in vivo, as pharmaceutical formulations of biphosphonates for the treatment or prevention of tumor growth and/or metastasis. Tumors can be solids and/or haematological such as prostate, lung, head/neck, colon, liver, breast, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, male and female urogenital tract, bones, multiple myeloma, primitive and secondary tumors of the central nervous system and lymphomas.

  • Publication number: 20090035281
    Abstract: The combination of an interleukin-6 (IL-6) antagonist and an antiproliferative drug is described. In its preferred embodiment, the present invention describes the combination of an IL-6 superantagonist, particularly a superantagonist totally incapable of binding gp130 and an antiproliferative drug belonging to the glucocorticoid class (SANT-7 and dexamethasone). The combination according to the present invention has shown surprising synergism in an animal model of multiple myeloma and the ability to overcome the resistance to the antiproliferative drug developed by myeloid cells. The combination according to the present invention is useful for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of tumours, particularly IL-6-dependent tumours.
