1. A method for treating a subject having a tumor or cancer, which tumor or cancer overexpresses AKT kinase comprising:
(i) determining whether the subject has a tumor or cancer that overexpresses AKT kinase;
(ii) if said subject has a tumor or cancer that overexpresses AKT kinase,
a. administering to said subject:
i. at least one compound of formula I selected from the group consisting of the following compounds:
wherein each R 2 ′, R 3 ′, and R 5 ′ is independently hydrogen; optionally substituted phosphate or phosphonate; mono-, di-, or triphosphate; acyl; lower acyl; alkyl; lower alkyl; amide; sulfonate ester; alkyl sulfonate ester; arylalkyl sulfonate ester; sulfonyl; methanesulfonyl; benzyl sulfonyl, wherein the phenyl group of said benzyl is optionally substituted with one or more halo, hydroxyl, amino, alkylamino, arylamino, alkoxy, aryloxy, nitro, cyano, sulfonic acid, sulfate, phosphonic acid, phosphate, or phosphonate; optionally substituted arylsulfonyl; a lipid; phospholipid; an amino acid; a carbohydrate; a peptide; or cholesterol; or other pharmaceutically acceptable leaving group that, in vivo, provides a compound of said formula I wherein R 2 ′, R 3 ′ or R 5 ′ is independently H or mono-, di- or tri-phosphate;
wherein R x and R y are independently hydrogen; optionally substituted phosphate; acyl; lower acyl; amide; alkyl; lower alkyl; aromatic; polyoxyalkylene; polyethyleneglycol; optionally substituted arylsulfonyl; a lipid; a phospholipid; an amino acid; a carbohydrate; a peptide; or cholesterol; or other pharmaceutically acceptable leaving group; and
wherein R 1 and R 2 each are independently H, optionally substituted straight chained, branched or cyclic alkyl, lower alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl, CO-alkyl, CO-alkenyl, CO-alkynyl, CO-aryl or heteroaryl, CO-alkoxyalkyl, CO-aryloxyalkyl, CO-substituted aryl, sulfonyl, alkysulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, or aralkysulfonyl;
ii. trasturzumab or a salt thereof:
iii. a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,
wherein the compound of formula I is administered to said subject in an amount of at least 0.5 mg/m 2 .
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula I is triciribine.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula I is triciribine phosphate.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula I is triciribine phosphonate.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula I is present in a dose amount of at least 20 mg/m 2 .
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula I is present in an amount of at least 10 mg/m 2 .
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration is parenteral administration.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the parenteral administration is intravenous administration.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration is oral administration.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trastuzumab or salt thereof is administered in an amount of less than 300 mg.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration of a compound of formula I and the trastuzumab or salt thereof is concurrently administered.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration of a compound of formula I is followed by the administration of the trastuzumab or salt thereof.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration of the trastuzumab or salt thereof is followed by the administration of a compound of formula I.
