  • a synergistic combination of the present compounds and another anticancer agent might allow the use of lower dosages of one or both of these agents and/or less frequent dosages of one or both of the instant compounds and other anticancer agents and/or to administer the agents less frequently can reduce any toxicity associated with the administration of the agents to a subject without reducing the efficacy of the agents in the treatment of cancer.
  • a synergistic effect might result in the improved efficacy of these agents in the treatment of cancer and/or the reduction of any adverse or unwanted side effects associated with the use of either agent alone.
  • the therapeutic agent, anti-cancer agent and/or radiation therapy can be administered according to therapeutic protocols well known in the art. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the administration of the therapeutic agent, anti-cancer agent and/or radiation therapy can be varied depending on the disease being treated and the known effects of the anti-cancer agent and/or radiation therapy on that disease. Also, in accordance with the knowledge of the skilled clinician, the therapeutic protocols (e.g., dosage amounts and times of administration) can be varied in view of the observed effects of the administered therapeutic agents (i.e., anti-neoplastic agent or radiation) on the patient, and in view of the observed responses of the disease to the administered therapeutic agents, and observed adverse affects.
  • the administered therapeutic agents i.e., anti-neoplastic agent or radiation
  • Dosage ranges for x-rays range from daily doses of 50 to 200 roentgens for prolonged periods of time (3 to 4 weeks), to single doses of 2000 to 6000 roentgens.
  • Dosage ranges for radioisotopes vary widely, and depend on the half-life of the isotope, the strength and type of radiation emitted, and the uptake by the neoplastic cells.
  • any suitable means for delivering radiation to a tissue may be employed in the present disclosure.
  • Common means of delivering radiation to a tissue is by an ionizing radiation source external to the body being treated.
  • Alternative methods for delivering radiation to a tissue include, for example, first delivering in vivo a radiolabeled antibody that immunoreacts with an antigen of the tumor, followed by delivering in vivo an effective amount of the radio labeled antibody to the tumor.
  • radioisotopes may be used to deliver ionizing radiation to a tissue or cell.
  • the radiation may be delivered by means of a radiomimetic agent.
  • a "radiomimetic agent” is a chemotherapeutic agent, for example melphalan, that causes the same type of cellular damage as radiation therapy, but without the application of radiation.
