Application Number:09/798,689
Patent Claims:1. A method for reducing tumor growth in a mammal in need thereof comprising treating the mammal with an effective amount of a combination of a monoclonal antibody which specifically binds to an extracellular domain of a VEGF receptor and radiation.

2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the mammal is a human.

3. A method according to claim 1 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered before radiation.

4. A method according to claim 1 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered during radiation.

5. A method according to claim 1 wherein the monoclonal antibody is admimstcrcd after radiation.

6. A method according to claim 1 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered before and during radiation.

7. A method according to claim 1 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered during and after radiation.

8. A method according to claim 1 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered before and after radiation.

9. A method according to claim 1 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered before, during, and after radiation.

10. A method according to claim 1 wherein the source of the radiation is external to the mammal.

11. A method according to claim 1 wherein the source of radiation is internal to the mammal.

12. A method according to claim 1 wherein the antibody is c-p1C11.

13. A method for reducing tumor growth in a mammal in need thereof comprising treating the mammal with an effective amount of a combination of a monoclonal antibody which specifically binds to an extracellular domain of a VEGF receptor and a chemotherapeutic agent.

14. A method according to claim 13 wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is not conjugated to the VEGF receptor monoclonal antibody.

15. A method according to claim 13 wherein the mammal is a human.

16. A method according to claim 13 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered before treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent.

17. A method according to claim 13 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered during treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent.

18. A method according to claim 13 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered after treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent.

19. A method according to claim 13 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered before and during treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent.

20. A method according to claim 13 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered during and after treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent.

21. A method according to claim 13 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered before and after treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent.

22. A method according to claim 13 wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered before, during, and after treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent.

23. A method according to claim 13 wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of cisplatin, dicarbazine, dactinomycin, mechlorethamine, streptozocin, cyclophosphamide, carmustine, lomustine, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, procarbazine, mitomycin, cytarabine, etoposide, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, vinbiastine, vincristine, bleomycin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, aldesleukin, asparaginase, busulfan, carboplatin, cladribine, dacarbazine, floxuridine, fludarabine, hydroxyurea, ifosfamide, interferon alpha, leuprolide, megestrol, melphalan, mercaptopurine, plicamycin, mitotane, pegaspargase, pentostatin, pipobroman, plicamycin, streptozocin, tamoxifen, teniposide, testolactone, thioguanine, thiotepa, uracil mustard, vinorelbine, chlorambucil, taxol, an additional growth factor receptor antagonist and combinations thereof.

24. A method according to claim 13 wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of cisplatin, doxorubicin, taxol and combinations thereof.

25. A method according to claim 13 wherein the antibody is c-p1C11.

26. A method according to claim 23 wherein the additional antagonist is a small molecule.

27. A method according to claim 13 further comprising treating the mammal with radiation.
