  • Publication number: 20250248984
    Abstract: The present technology is directed to a method of treating a cancer, or multiple cancers, comprising administering to said individual one or more compounds selected from a VAV3-inhibitor such as IODVA1, followed by administration of a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and/or selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), to an individual in need thereof.

  • Patent number: 9623031
    Abstract: Compositions, kits and methods for treating leukemia in a subject (e.g., human) include a first anti-cancer drug consisting of: ?12-prostaglandin J3 or a derivative thereof, or a prostaglandin D receptor (DP) agonist. The compositions may further include a second anti-cancer drug. ?12-prostaglandin J3 is a stable metabolite of omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and was discovered to have anti-leukemic properties. ?12-prostaglandin J3 was shown to be highly effective in eradicating the leukemia stem cells (LSC) in two murine models of leukemia, thus increasing the survival of the mice. DP agonists were shown to induce apoptosis of human primary Acute Myelogenous Leukemia cells and may be used in compositions, kits and methods for treating leukemia in a subject. The compositions, kits and methods may be particularly useful for treating human subjects who are resistant to one or more anti-cancer drugs.
