  • Publication number: 20220054531
    Abstract: Methods are presented for treating cancers and hematopoietic stem cell disorders, comprising administering to a subject with a cancer or hematopoietic stem cell disorder who is receiving a treatment regimen, a heparin derivative capable of inhibiting, reducing, abrogating or otherwise interfering with the binding of CXCL12 to CXCR4, wherein the cancer or hematopoietic stem cell disorder is one in which interaction of CXCL12 with CXCR4 privileges the cancer or disordered HSCs against therapeutic intervention. In preferred embodiments, the heparin derivative is a substantially 2-O, 3-O-desulfated heparin derivative.

  • Patent number: 10905661
    Abstract: This application relates to methods and compositions for the administration of disulfiram (DSF) and heavy metals zinc and copper for the treatment and prevention of medical conditions, such as cancer. DSF and copper as well as DSF and zinc form active complexes that have been shown to be effective in the treatment of cancers. However, as described herein, DSF is incompatible with either copper or zinc for simultaneous oral administration. Included herein are improved methods and oral dosage forms comprising DSF and copper and DSF and zinc in fixed dose combinations that are configured to temporally stagger release of either DSF and copper or DSF and zinc after ingestion.
