Application Number: | 13/760,307 |
Patent Claims: | 1. A method of treating cancer in a subject, comprising administering to said subject a soluble .beta.-glucan in an amount effective to treat said cancer, wherein said
glucan is derived from yeast and comprises a .beta.-1,3 backbone with branches attached to the backbone via .beta.-1,6 linkages, wherein the glucose units in said branches are .beta.-1,3 linked, and said cancer is selected from the group consisting of
neuroblastoma, melanoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, Epstein-Barr related lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and epidermoid carcinoma.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said glucan has a molecular weight of 10-350 kDa. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said glucan is administered orally or intravenously. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said glucan is administered at about 25 mg/kg/day. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising administering a complement-activating antibody. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein said antibody is a monoclonal antibody. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein said antibody is administered simultaneously or sequentially with said glucan. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein said antibody is selected from the group consisting of cetuximab, M195, Dacluzimab, R24, Herceptin, Rituximab, 528, IgG, IgM, IgA, C225, Epratuzumab and 3F8. 9. The method of claim 5, wherein said antibody is cetuximab for treating non-small cell lung cancer. 10. The method of claim 5, wherein said antibody is cetuximab for treating colorectal cancer. 11. The method of claim 5, wherein said antibody is rituximab for treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising administering a chemotherapeutic agent. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein said chemotherapeutic agent is carboplatin. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein said chemotherapeutic agent is irinotecan. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein said chemotherapeutic agent is paclitaxel. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein said glucan has a molecular weight of 10-350 kDa. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein said glucan is administered orally or intravenously. 18. The method of claim 12, wherein said glucan is administered at about 25 mg/kg/day. 19. The method of claim 12, wherein said chemotherapeutic agent is administered simultaneously or sequentially with said glucan. 20. The method of claim 12, wherein the cancer is non-small cell lung cancer. |
