Abstract
Therapeutic combinations of two or more antisense oligonucleotides are provided. At least one first antisense oligonucleotide specific for a cytoplasmic oncogene or proto-oncogene and at least one second antisense oligonucleotide specific for a nuclear oncogene or proto-oncogene are combined for treatment of a neoplastic disease. The first antisense oligonucleotide may be specific for, e.g., a ras or raf gene, or an oncogene which codes for a protein tyrosine kinase. The nuclear gene-targeting antisense oligonucleotide preferably may be specific for a nuclear oncogene or proto-oncogene which encodes a transcriptional factor. The combined oligonucleotides have enhanced activity against neoplastic disease.
