Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Pharmaceutical compositions, kits and methods for treating tumors such as glioma and cancers such as leukemia with (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2HG) are provided, along with therapeutic regimens including treatment of a patient suffering from glioma or leukemia with a MYC-signaling inhibitor followed by or cotemporaneous with treatment with R-2HG, and optionally other chemotherapeutic agents.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating leukemia in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a combination of: an effective amount of R-2HG; and one or more chemotherapeutic agents selected from the group consisting of all trans retinoic acid (ATRA), azacitidine (AZA), daunorubicin, and decitabine. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising administering at least one agent effective for inhibiting MYC signaling prior to administering the R-2HG. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one agent effective for inhibiting MYC signaling is selected from the group consisting of flavopiridol, purvalanol A, SU9516, PHA 767491 HCl, SNS-032, JQ1, SGI-1776, EPZ004777, C464, SAHA, triptolide, nutlin-3a, SB220025, LY294002, VAV-939, LY-411575, VX-680, NSC71948, ABT263, VER-155008, KW-2478, SB 218078, and leflunomide. 4.
