Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the production of an antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human which is optionally being treated with ionising radiation, particularly a method for the treatment of a cancer, particularly a cancer involving a solid tumour, which comprises the administration of ZD6474 in combination with gemcitabine; to a pharmaceutical composition comprising ZD6474 and gemcitabine; to a combination product comprising ZD6474 and gemcitabine for use in a method of treatment of a human or animal body by therapy; to a kit comprising ZD6474 and gemcitabine; to the use of ZD6474 and gemcitabine in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the production of an antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human which is optionally being treated with ionising radiation.

Claims

1. A method for the production of an antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human, which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, before, after or simultaneously with an effective amount of gemcitabine.

2. A method for the treatment of a cancer in a warm-blooded animal such as a human, which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, before, after or simultaneously with an effective amount of gemcitabine.

3. A method according to claim 2 for the treatment of a cancer involving a solid tumour.

4. A pharmaceutical composition which comprises ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and gemcitabine, in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier.

5. A kit comprising ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and gemcitabine.

6. Use of ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and gemcitabine in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the production of an antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human.

7. Use of ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and gemcitabine in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the production of an anti-cancer effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human.

8. Use according to claim 7 wherein the anti-cancer effect comprises an anti-tumour effect.

9. A method for the production of an antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human, which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, before, after or simultaneously with an effective amount of gemcitabine and before, after or simultaneously with an effective amount of ionising radiation.

10. A method for the treatment of a cancer in a warm-blooded animal such as a human, which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, before, after or simultaneously with an effective amount of gemcitabine and before, after or simultaneously with an effective amount of ionising radiation.

11. A method according to claim 10 for the treatment of a cancer involving a solid tumour.

12. Use of ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and gemcitabine in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the production of an antiangiogenic and/or vascular permeability reducing effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human which is being treated with ionising radiation.

13. Use of ZD6474 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and gemcitabine in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the production of an anti-cancer effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human which is being treated with ionising radiation.

14. Use according to claim 13 wherein the anti-cancer effect comprises an anti-tumour effect.
