In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating a subject who suffers from a neoplasm (including a cancer such as a radiotherapeutic-resistant cancer) by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of (a) 5-formyl-2′-deoxyuridine (fdU or foUdR) or a 5-formyl-2′-deoxyuridine derivative, optionally in combination with 5-hydroxy-2′-deoxyuridine (hUdR); and (b) at least one composition selected from the group consisting of either 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a 5-FU prodrug (e.g. 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine (FdU)) or 5-FU metabolite. In a preferred embodiment, a subject who suffers from colorectal cancer (CRC) or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is treated with a therapeutically-effective amount of fdU and either 5-FU or the 5-FU prodrug 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine (FdU). Related pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
在一个实施方案中,本发明提供了一种治疗患有肿瘤(包括癌症,如放射治疗耐药癌症)的受试者的方法,该方法通过向受试者施用治疗有效量的(a)5-甲酰基-2′-脱氧尿苷(fdU或foUdR)或5-甲酰基-2′-脱氧尿苷衍生物,可选择与5-羟基-2′-脱氧尿苷(hUdR)结合使用;(b) 至少一种组合物,该组合物选自由 5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)、5-FU 原药(如例如,5-氟-2′-脱氧尿苷(FdU)或 5-FU 代谢物。在一个优选的实施方案中,用治疗有效量的fdU和5-FU或5-FU原药5-氟-2′-脱氧尿苷(FdU)治疗结直肠癌(CRC)或转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)患者。还提供了相关的药物组合物。
