COMBINATION OF ANTI-CLUSTERIN OLIGONUCLEOTIDE WITH HSP90 INHIBITOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF PROSTATE CANCER

摘要

The present invention provides a method for treating a mammalian subject affected by prostate cancer comprising i) an oligonucleotide which reduces clusterin expression and ii) a Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor each in an amount that when in combination with the other is effective to treat the mammalian subject. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising an amount of an oligonucleotide which reduces clusterin expression, and a Hsp90 inhibitor for use in treating a mammalian subject affected by prostate cancer. Also provided are oligonucleotides which reduce clusterin expression for use in combination with a Hsp90 inhibitor in treating a mammalian subject affected by prostate cancer, and a composition for treating a mammalian subject affected by prostate cancer comprising i) an oligonucleotide which reduces clusterin expression and ii) a Hsp90 inhibitor each in an amount that when in combination with the other is effective to treat the mammalian subject.
