The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical products comprising a combination of (i) a MET inhibitor which is INC280 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof and (ii) an EGFR inhibitor described herein, which are jointly active in the treatment of proliferative diseases, corresponding pharmaceutical formulations, uses, methods, processes, commercial packages and related embodiments.

Combination therapy

This invention relates to antibodies or fragments thereof which interact with HER family of receptors, e.g., HER3 receptor. In particular, it relates to antibodies or fragments thereof that recognize a conformational epitope of HER3 receptor comprising residues from both domains 2 and 4 resulting in inhibition of both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent signal transduction; and allow ligand binding (e.g., neuregulin), while preventing ligand-induced activation of signal transduction. These antibodies or fragments can be used to treat a number of diseases or disorders characterized by increased levels of HER3 expression (e.g., esophageal cancer). These antibodies or fragments can be used to treat a number of diseases or disorders characterized by the antibodys or fragments ability to decrease tissue weight (e.g., prostate or uterine weights) or to induce atrophy of tissue (e.g., atrophy of male breast).

Antibodies for epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3)

A pharmaceutical combination comprising (a) the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor compound (S)-pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 2-amide 1-({4-methyl-5-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-pyridin-4-yl]thiazol-2-yl}-amide) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) at least one mitogen activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and optionally at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for simultaneous, separate or sequential administration; the uses of such combination in the treatment of proliferative diseases; and methods of treating a subject suffering from a proliferative disease comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of such combination.

Synergistic combinations of PI3K- and MEK-inhibitors

Methods for inhibiting growth or proliferation of breast cancer cells are provided. The methods include administering to a subject in need thereof in an amount that is effective to inhibit growth or proliferation of the breast cancer cells a MELK inhibitor, wherein the breast cancer cells are estrogen receptor (ER) negative. In some aspects, the methods include administering to a subject in need thereof in an amount that is effective to inhibit growth or proliferation of the breast cancer cells a MELK inhibitor, a FoxM1 inhibitor or a MELK inhibitor and a FoxM1 inhibitor, wherein the breast cancer cells are estrogen receptor (ER) negative. Methods of treatment for breast cancer and methods of identifying patients having cancer that are likely to benefit from treatment with a MELK inhibitor, a FoxM1 inhibitor or a MELK inhibitor and a FoxM1 inhibitor are also provided.

MELK regulation for the treatment of breast cancer

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical combination comprising a 2-carboxamide cycloamino urea derivative compound of formula (I) and at least one aromatase inhibitor for the treatment of cancer; the uses of such combinations in the treatment of cancer; and to a method of treating warm-blooded animals including humans suffering cancer by administering to said animal in need of such treatment an effective dose of a 2-carboxamide cycloamino urea derivative compound of formula (I) in combination with at least one aromatase inhibitor.

Pharmaceutical combination comprising a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor and/an aromatase inhibitor

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical combination comprising an alpha-isoform specific phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor compound, such as (S)-Pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 2-amide 1-({4-methyl-5-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-pyridin-4-yl]-thiazol-2-yl}-amide), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) inhibitor (e.g., the IGF1R inhibitor ANTIBODY A, or a variant or derivative thereof), a pharmaceutical composition comprising such combination, methods for treating cancer comprising administration of therapeutically effective amounts of such inhibitors to a subject in need thereof, and uses of such combination for the treatment of cancer.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical combination comprising a MEK inhibitor compound 6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-methyl-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (2-hydroxyethyoxy)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the IGF1R inhibitor ANTIBODY A, a pharmaceutical composition comprising such combination, methods for treating cancer comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of such combination to a subject in need thereof, and uses of such combination for the treatment of cancer.
