Abstract

The invention provides NUC-1031 (gemcitabine-[phenyl-benzoxy-L-alaninyl)]-phosphate), a ProTide derivative of gemcitabine,for use in targeting cancer stem cells. This targeting of cancer stem cells may be employed in the prevention or treatment of cancer. The invention also provides NUC-1031 for use in treatment of relapsed or refractorycancer in a human patient. Without wishing to be bound by any hypothesis, it is believed that the ability of NUC-1031 to target cancer stem cells contributes to its utility in the treatment of relapsed or refractory cancers.

Abstract

Provided are medical uses and methods for targeting cancer stem cells employing ProTide compounds, particularly in the prevention or treatment of cancer. The ProTide may be other than one selected from the group consisting of: NUC-1031; a ProTide derived from cordycepin; and a ProTide derived from 8-chloroadenosine. The medical uses and methods for targeting cancer stem cells are particularly useful in the treatment of relapsed or refractory cancer in human patients. The invention also provides methods of selecting patients who will benefit from prevention or treatment of cancer through the medical uses or methods of treatment of the invention.
