Application Number:14/338,055
Patent Claims:1. A method of treatment of a subject having cancer, comprising: administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of: ##STR00011## (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of colon cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma, and non-small cell lung cancer.

2. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the subject has colon cancer.

3. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the subject has breast cancer.

4. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the subject has lymphoma.

5. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the subject has non-small cell lung cancer.

6. The method of treatment according to claim 1, further comprising administering a second therapeutic to the subject, wherein the second therapeutic is an anti-cancer agent.

7. The method of treatment according to claim 6, wherein the anti-cancer agent is a miotic inhibitor.

8. The method of treatment according to claim 6, wherein the anti-cancer agent is selected from the group consisting of paclitaxel, docetaxel, and a combination thereof.

9. The method of treatment according to claim 1, further comprising administering a second therapeutic to the subject, wherein the second therapeutic is an anti-angiogenic agent.

10. The method of treatment according to claim 9, wherein the anti-angiogenic agent is bevacizumab.

11. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered orally.

12. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered via a route of administration selected from the group consisting of rectal, nasal, pulmonary, epidural, ocular, otic, intraarterial, intracardiac, intracerebroventricular, intradermal, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intraosseous, intrathecal, intravesical, subcutaneous, topical, transdermal, transmucosal, sublingual, buccal, vaginal, and inhalational routes of administration.

13. The method of treatment according to claim 1, further comprising assessing effectiveness of the treatment.

14. The method of treatment according to claim 13, wherein the assessing of the effectiveness of the treatment comprises assaying TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in a biological sample obtained from the subject.

15. The method of treatment according to claim 14, wherein the biological sample is selected from the group consisting of blood, serum, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

16. The method of treatment according to claim 1, further comprising increasing expression of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in cells of the cancer of the subject.

17. The method of treatment according to claim 16, further comprising increasing apoptosis in cells of the cancer of the subject.

18. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

19. The method of treatment according to claim 18, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprises at least one of a buffer, a filler, a binder, a humectant, a disintegrating agent, a solution retarder, an absorption accelerator, a wetting agent, an adsorbent, a lubricant, a preservative, an antibacterial agent, an antifungal agent, a stabilizer, a surface-active agent, a non-ionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, lipid particles, liposomes, micelles, unilmellar vesicles, multilamellar vesicles, polymer particles, hydrogel particles, polyglycolic acid particles, polylactic acid particles, inorganic particles, calcium phosphate particles, an inorganic/organic particle, water, ethanol, a polyol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, a vegetable oil, olive oil and ethyloleate.

20. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is a solid dosage form.

21. The method of treatment according to claim 20, wherein the solid dosage form is selected from the group consisting of a capsule, a tablet, a powder, and a granule.

22. The method of treatment according to claim 20, wherein the solid dosage form comprises an enteric coating.

23. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is a liquid dosage form.

24. The method of treatment according to claim 23, wherein the liquid dosage form is an injectable liquid.

25. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in a form selected from the group consisting of a patch, an ointment, a lotion, a cream, a gel, a paste, a spray, and a powder.

26. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in a dosage in the range of about 0.0001 to 100 mg/kg of the subject's body weight.

27. The method of treatment according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 0.1-99% of ##STR00012## (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof.
