Summary for Patent: 10,172,815
Title:Targeted treatment of anerobic cancer
Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical cocktail and methods of cancer treatment. In particular, one such cocktail comprises a combination of effective amounts of a lactate transporter inhibitor, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, a sodium potassium chloride cofactor (NKCC) transporter inhibitor, a member of the hydroxycinnamate class of drugs or a derivative thereof, and/or an angiogenesis inhibitor, including a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor such as bevacizumab in combination with blood vessel occlusion. As most cancers in an untreated state uses both aerobic and anaerobic/glycolytic pathways treatments contemplated herein can affect both metabolic pathways.

Application Number:15/035,397
Patent Claims:1. A method for treating a patient with cancer, said method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a composition comprising a lactate transporter inhibitor to a patient comprising a cancerous lesion, wherein the cancerous lesion comprises a plurality of blood vessels, wherein said lactate transporter inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of ferrulic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, resveratrol ferulate, and phloretin ferulate, and b) occluding at least one of said plurality of blood vessel.

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said composition is delivered via liposomes.

3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises administering to said patient an effective amount of an angiogenesis inhibitor.

4. The method according to claim 3 wherein said angiogenesis inhibitor is a humanized monoclonal antibody.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said antibody is bevacizumab.

6. The method according to claim 3 wherein said treating comprises repeated administration of a composition comprising at least one of the following: lactate transporter inhibitor and angiogenesis inhibitor.

7. The method according to claim 1 wherein said cancer is hypoxic cancer.

8. The method according to claim 1 wherein said occluding further comprises an embolism.

9. The method according to claim 8 wherein said embolism is produced by the introduction of an embolic composition.

10. The method according to claim 9 wherein said embolic composition comprises a plurality of polymers embedded with lactate transporter inhibitors.

11. The method according to claim 9 wherein said embolic composition comprises a plurality of glass beads coated with at least one lactate transporter inhibitor.

12. The method according to claim 1 wherein said occluding of blood vessels providing blood to said cancer comprises thermal ablation.

13. The method according to claim 12 wherein said treating of said cancer with thermal ablation is preceded with lactate transporter inhibitor treatment.

14. A method for shrinking a cancerous lesion in a patient with cancer, said method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a composition comprising a lactate transporter inhibitor to a patient comprising a cancerous lesion, wherein the cancerous lesion comprises a plurality of blood vessels, wherein said lactate transporter inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of ferrulic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, resveratrol ferulate, and phloretin ferulate, and b) occluding at least one of said plurality of blood vessel.

15. A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a patient a composition comprising an effective amount of a lactate transporter inhibitor, a NKCC inhibitor, and an angiogenesis inhibitor, wherein said lactate transporter inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of ferrulic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, resveratrol ferulate, and phloretin ferulate and wherein said NKCC inhibitor comprises bumetanide.

16. The method according to claim 15 wherein said composition is delivered via liposomes.

17. The method according to claim 15 wherein said angiogenesis inhibitor is a humanized monoclonal antibody.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein said antibody is bevacizumab.

19. The method according to claim 15 wherein said composition comprising at least one lactate transporter inhibitor, NKCC inhibitor, and an angiogenesis inhibitor is administered as a pharmaceutical cocktail.

20. The method according to claim 15 wherein said treating comprises repeated administration of at least one of the lactate transporter inhibitor, NKCC inhibitor, and an angiogenesis inhibitor.

21. The method according to claim 15 wherein said cancer is hypoxic cancer.
