Methods for treating pterygium recurrence following pterygiectomy, and for treating keloid recurrence, following surgical removal of the keloid, are disclosed. The methods include administering an anti-VEGF agent (e.g., antibody (e.g., bevacizumab) or small molecule inhibitor of VEGF signaling), or a combination therapy that includes co-administering an anti-VEGF agent, with an anti-inflammatory steroid and / or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to a subject.

The present invention provides combination therapy methods of treating proliferative diseases (such as cancer) comprising a first therapy comprising administering to an individual an effective amount of a taxane in a nanoparticle composition, and a second therapy which may include, for example, radiation, surgery, administration of chemotherapeutic agents (such as an anti-VEGF antibody), or combinations thereof. Also provided are methods of administering to an individual a drug taxane in a nanoparticle composition based on a metronomic dosing regime.

A magnetically controlled pump is implanted into the brain of a patient and delivers a plurality of medicating agents mixed with Avastin at a controlled rate corresponding to the specific needs of the patient. The current invention comprises a flexible double walled pouch that is formed from two layers of polymer. The pouch is alternately expanded and contracting by magnetic solenoid. When contracted, the medicating agent Avastin is pushed out of the pouch through a plurality of needles. When the pouch is expanded, surrounding cerebral fluid is drawn into the space between the double walls of the pouch from which it is drawn through a catheter to an analyzer. In cases where a tumor resection is not performed, an intratumoral catheter will be implanted. Cerebral fluid drawn from the patient is analyzed. The operation of the apparatus and hence the treatment is remotely controlled based on these measurements and displayed through an external controller.

The invention provides a method of inhibiting ocular neovascularization in a mammal by administering a composition comprising a bevacizumab-encoding adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector directly to the eye of the mammal.

The present invention provides small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, compositions containing the molecules, and methods of using the molecules and compositions to treat breast cancer. In one aspect, a multi-targeted siRNAi cocktail is disclosed. The siRNA molecules may be encapsulated in nanoparticles to further enhance their anti-cancer activity. The compositions may also be used in combination with other anti-cancer agents, such as bevacizumab.

The present invention relates generally to methods for treating cancer. In one respect, the present invention relates to a method of treating a hematological cancer (e.g., multiple myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma) comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a histone deacetylase inhibitor, for example, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor as described herein, for example, PXD-101. In another respect, the present invention relates to a method of treating cancer (e.g., solid tumor cancer, e.g., rectal cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer; hematological cancer, e.g., multiple myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma) comprising administering to a patient in need thereof, a first amount of a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, for example, a histone deacetylase inhibitor as described herein, for example, PXD-101, and a second amount of an other chemotherapeutic agent, for example, an other chemotherapeutic agent selected from: an antibody against VEGF, AVASTIN® (bevacizumab), an antibody against CD20, rituximab, bortezomib, thalidomide, dexamethasone, vincristine, doxorubicin, and melphalan, wherein the first and second amounts together comprise a therapeutically effective amount.

The use of a combination of photodynamic therapy and an anti-VEGF agent in the treatment of conditions characterized by unwanted choroidal neovasculature is described. These conditions include wet age-related macular degeneration Preferred anti-VEGF agents are antibodies such as bevacizumab or ranibizumab Photosensitizers may be selected from green porphyrins such as BPD-MA (verteporfin) and the photodynamic activation of the photo sensitizer may be accomplished using a reduced fluence rate. The use may further comprises an anti-inflammatory agent such as dexamethasone.

The present application relates to compositions of chimeric anti-endoglin antibodies and anti-VEGF agents. Another aspect relates to the use of chimeric anti-endoglin antibodies and Bevacizumab. Another aspect relates to the use of the compositions to inhibit VEGF induced sprouting. Another aspect relates to the use of the compositions to inhibit angiogenesis.
