Combination therapy of HSP90 inhibitors with platinum-containing agents
A pharmaceutical combination comprising a platinum-containing anticancer agent, and an Hsp90 inhibitor according to the following formulae (I) & (Ia), a tautomer, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the variables structural formulae are defined herein. Also provided is a method of treating a proliferative disorder such as cancer in a subject in need thereof, using the pharmaceutical combination described herein.
1. A method of treating cancer, wherein the cancer is breast cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, ocular melanoma, prostate cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), advanced esophagogastric cancer, melanoma, hepatocellular cancer, solid tumor, liver cancer, head and neck cancer, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, bladder cancer, testicular tumor, ovarian cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, or colon cancer, comprising administering to the subject (a) an effective amount of an Hsp90 inhibitor, wherein the Hsp90 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of 3-(2,4-dihydroxy-5-isopropyl-phenyl)-4-(1-methyl-indol-5-yl)-5-hydroxy-[1,2,4] triazole or a tautomer or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and 5-hydroxy-4-(5-hydroxy-4-(1-methyl-1H-indol-5-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2-isopropylphenyl dihydrogen phosphate, or a tautomer, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) a platinum-containing anti-cancer agent, wherein the platinum-containing anticancer agent is selected from the group consisting of cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is gastric cancer, bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, or colorectal cancer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprising administering a compound of 3-(2,4-dihydroxy-5-isopropyl-phenyl)-4-(1-methyl-indol-5-yl)-5-hydroxy-[1,2,4] triazole, or a tautomer or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and cisplatin.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein cisplatin is administered at a dose from about 20 mg/m 2 to about 150 mg/m 2 .
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the amount of the triazole compound is from about 2 mg/m 2 to about 260 mg/m 2 .
