First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A pharmaceutical composition to treat a breast cancer in a subject, comprising: a therapeutically effective amount of a Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFβ) antagonist, capecitabine, and ixabepilone, wherein said TGFβ antagonist is present in an amount effective to enhance the efficacy of capecitabine and ixabepilone to treat said breast cancer. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said TGFβ antagonist is an agent that blocks the binding of a TGFβ protein to its receptor. 3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein said agent is a protein. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein said agent is an anti-TGFβ antibody. 5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said antibody is a pan neutralizing anti-TGFβ antibody. 6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said antibody is an anti-TGFβ monoclonal antibody. 7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein said antibody is a humanized antibody that comprises one or more CDRs of 1D11. 8. The composition of claim 2 , wherein said TGFβ protein is TGFβ-1, -2, -3, or a combination thereof. 9. A kit to treat a breast cancer in a subject, comprising: a therapeutically effective amount of a Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFβ) antagonist, capecitabine, and ixabepilone, wherein said TGFβ antagonist is present in an amount effective to enhance the efficacy of capecitabine and ixabepilone to treat said breast cancer. 10. The kit of claim 9 , wherein said TGFβ antagonist is an agent that blocks the binding of a TGFβ protein to its receptor. 11. The kit of claim 10 , wherein said agent is a protein. 12. The kit of claim 11 , wherein said agent is an anti-TGFβ antibody. 13. The kit of claim 12 , wherein said antibody is a pan neutralizing anti-TGFβ antibody. 14. The kit of claim 13 , wherein said antibody is an anti-TGFβ monoclonal antibody. 15. The kit of claim 14 , wherein said antibody is a humanized antibody that comprises one or more CDRs of 1D11. 16. The kit of claim 10 , wherein said TGFβ protein is TGFβ-1, -2, -3, or a combination thereof.
