Abstract: It now has been found that oral administration of pharmaceutical agents, including N-methylol transfer agents such as Taurolidine may be used to provide efficacious blood plasma concentration of the agents for treatment of diseases by providing release of the active agent into the duodenum or jejunum of a patient and/or at a pH of about 5.4 to about 6.5. Embodiments of the invention therefore provide oral dosage forms, compositions and methods for administration of pharmaceutical agents to the duodenum or jejunum of a patient, and/or which release at a pH of about 5.4 to about 6.5.

Abstract: A method of treatment for preventing or reducing tumor growth in liver of a patient includes administering to the patient an effective about of taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof, so as to prevent or reduce the tumor growth in the patient.

Abstract: A method of treating mesothelioma in a mammal, whereby a methylol-containing compound is administered to the mammal intrapleurally.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis and/or suppression of primary and/or secondary tumors of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord, eyes) in mammalian subjects are disclosed, wherein an effective dose of a methylol transfer agent such as Taurolidine and/or Taurultam and/or a bioequivalent is administered to a mammalian subject suffering from, or at risk of growth of, tumors of the central nervous system. Furthermore, methods for local application of Taurolidine and/or Taurultam and/or a bioequivalent in solution are disclosed using microdialysis methods, irrigation methods, implantion methods and angiographic methods.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting growth of a tumor cell in a mammal may include steps of administering to the mammal a first solution including a tumor-inhibiting methylol-containing compound, the first solution further including a first combination having a plurality of physiologically acceptable electrolytes or a second combination having at least one amino acid in combination with at least one physiologically acceptable electrolyte. Alternatively, another solution may be administered to the mammal containing a tumor-inhibiting methylol-containing compound, while concurrently administering to the mammal a further solution including the first combination with the plurality of physiologically acceptable electrolytes or the second combination with at least one said amino acid in combination with at least one physiologically acceptable electrolyte.

Abstract: Tumor growth and metastases in cancer patients are inhibited by administration of a combination therapy including effective amounts of 5-Fluorouracil and a methylol transfer agent such as taurolidine, taurultam or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A composition formed by subjecting to ionizing radiation a combination containing a radiation-protective amount of PVP along with a solution, gel or adhesive including taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof; or an aggregate including collagen-free crystals of taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: Patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis are treated either orally or intravenously with methylol transfer agents, such as taurolidine and/or taurultam. These agents can be used in combination with other drugs thereby allowing the use of smaller amounts of the other drugs and limiting unwanted side effects.

Abstract: Tumor growth and metastases in cancer patients are inhibited by administration of a combination therapy including effective amounts of 5-Fluorouracil and a methylol transfer agent such as taurolidine, taurultam or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Tumor metastases in cancer patients are inhibited by administration of a combination therapy including effective amounts of Interleukin-2 and a methylol transfer agent such as taurolidine, taurultam or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis and/or suppression of primary and/or secondary tumors of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord, eyes) in mammalian subjects are disclosed, wherein an effective dose of a methylol transfer agent such as Taurolidine and/or Taurultam and/or a bioequivalent is administered to a mammalian subject suffering from, or at risk of growth of, tumors of the central nervous system. Furthermore, methods for local application of Taurolidine and/or Taurultam and/or a bioequivalent in solution are disclosed using microdialysis methods, irrigation methods, implantion methods and angiographic methods.

Abstract: A method of treatment for treating, at least partially preventing, inhibiting or reducing growth of a bone tumor in a subject, including at least partially removing a bone tumor from a subject and contacting an area of bone adjacent to where the tumor was at least partially removed with a gel containing a tumor growth-inhibiting methylol transfer agent.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis and/or suppression of primary and/or secondary tumors of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord, eyes) in mammalian subjects are disclosed, wherein an effective dose of a methylol transfer agent such as Taurolidine and/or Taurultam and/or a bioequivalent is administered to a mammalian subject suffering from, or at risk of growth of, tumors of the central nervous system. Furthermore, methods for local application of Taurolidine and/or Taurultam and/or a bioequivalent in solution are disclosed using microdialysis methods, irrigation methods, implantion methods and angiographic methods.

Abstract: A composition formed by subjecting to ionizing radiation a combination containing a radiation-protective amount of PVP along with a solution, gel or adhesive including taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof; or an aggregate including collagen-free crystals of taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: A method of treating a patient with breast cancer includes administering to the patient a breast cancer cell proliferation-inhibiting amount of a methylol-containing compound such as taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: Tumor growth and metastases in cancer patients are inhibited by administration of a combination therapy including effective amounts of 5-Fluorouracil and a methylol transfer agent such as taurolidine, taurultam or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Taurolidine and/or taurultam is administered during and after surgical removal of a cancerous tumor to treat abdominal cancer.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for preventing formation of thrombosis on a liquid-contacting surface of a liquid delivery system, such as a port, catheter or port-catheter system. The liquid delivery system is connected to a patient for delivery of a liquid to the patient. The method involves contacting the surface with a thrombosis-preventing liquid containing taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof, the thrombosis-preventing liquid further containing an anticoagulant agent. In an alternative embodiment, the liquid-contacting surface of the delivery system is contacted with a solution containing an anticoagulant agent, and thereafter contacted with a solution containing taurolidine, taurultam or a mixture thereof.
