The present invention provides a therapeutic combination comprising (a) a compound of formula (I) as set forth in the specification and (b) one or more antineoplastic agents selected from the group consisting of an alkylating or alkylating-like agent, an antimetabolite agent, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, an inhibitor of a growth factor or of a growth factor receptor, an antimitotic agent, a proteasome inhibitor, an inhibitor of an anti-apoptotic protein and an antibody directed against a cell surface protein, wherein the active ingredients are present in each case in lice form or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or any hydrate thereof.

Therapeutic combination comprising a Cdc7 inhibitor and an anti-neoplastic agent

The invention provides a low molecular weight ATP-competitive CDK inhibitor able to cross the blood brain barrier for use in the treatment of malignant glioma and, in particular, of glioblastoma. The compound can be administered together with one or more agents selected from the group consisting of cytotoxic or cytostatic agents and ionizing radiation.

Use of CDK inhibitor for the treatment of glioma

The present invention provides a combination comprising (a) a compound of formula (I) and (b) one or more antineoplastic agents selected from the group consisting of an antimetabolite agent, analkylating or alkylating-like agent, an intercalating agent, a topoisomerase I or II inhibitor, an antimitotic agent, a kinase inhibitor, a proteasome inhibitor and an antibody inhibiting a growth factor or its receptor, wherein active ingredients of the combination are present in each case in free form or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or any hydrate or solvate thereof, useful in the treatment of tumors. 

Therapeutic combination comprising a PLK1 inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent

The present invention provides a therapeutic combination comprising (a) a compound of formula (I) as set forth in the specification and (b) one or more antineoplastic agents selected from the group consisting of alkylating or alkylating-like agents, antimetabolite agents and topoisomerase I inhibitors, wherein the active ingredients are present in each case in free form or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or any hydrate thereof. 

Therapeutic combination comprising a CDKS inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent

The present invention provides a combination comprising a compound A of formula (I) as set forth in the specification or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antibody inhibiting a growth factor or its receptor and/or an antimitotic agent or a derivative or prodrug thereof, useful in the treatment of tumors. The chemical name of compound A is 8-[4-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenylamino]-1,4,4-trimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline-3-carboxylic acid methylamide.

Combinations comprising a CDK inhibitor and a growth factor antibody or anti-mitotic
