Abstract

The invention relates to combinations of PKC-targeted (especially PKC-.alpha.-targeted) deoxyribo- and ribo-oligonucleotides and derivatives thereof with other chemotherapeutic compounds, as well as to pharmaceutical preparations and/or therapies, in relation to disease states which respond to such oligonucleotides or oligonucleotide derivatives, especially to to modulation of the activity of a regulatory protein. In particular, the invention relates to products or combinations comprising antisense oligonucleotides or oligonucleotide derivatives targeted to nucleic acids encoding human PKC and other (preferably standard) chemotherapeutics, either in fixed combination or for chronologically staggered or simultaneous administration, and the combined use of both classes of compounds, either in fixed combination or for chronologically staggered or simultaneous administration, for the treatment of proliferative diseases, especially tumor diseases, that can be treated by inhibition of PKC activity, that is, where the antisense oligonucleotides or oligonucleotide derivatives are targeted to nucleic acids encoding the regulatory protein PKC or active mutated derivatives thereof.
