The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treatment of cholangiocarcinoma and in particular to combination therapies comprising panobinostat compositions in combination with other cytotoxic agents, e.g. agents that potentiate the effects of panobinostat, for use in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising panobinostat and other cytotoxic agents are also provided.

The present disclosure provides novel formulations for dimeric naphthalimides and stability studies of the same. In some embodiments, the dimeric naphthalimide is a diacetate salt of Compound of Formula (I).

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating cancer, the composition containing IL-2 surface expression-extracellular vesicles as an active ingredient. According to the present invention, immune cells, in which useful cytokines have been expressed on the cell surface, and extracellular vesicles, preferably small extracellular vesicles (sEV), which are derived from the immune cells and have useful cytokines expressed on the surface were prepared using a lentiviral vector containing a cytokine-linker-a PDGF receptor transmembrane domain, and it was found that the extracellular vesicles increased proliferation and activity of cytotoxic T cells thereby increasing anti-cancer immune efficacy. Thus, the extracellular vesicles having the efficacy can be usefully utilized as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer, a pharmaceutical composition for co-administration with an anticancer drug, or a composition for delivering a drug or a physiologically active material.

A room temperature injectable thermo-responsive hydrogel comprises a P407 poloxamer base hydrogel, chitosan, 2-Hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin and genipin. The chitosan and genipin form an interpenetrating scaffold within the hydrogel in which the chitosan is crosslinked with genipin. Chemotherapeutic drugs can be added to the hydrogel singly or in combination in effective amounts without any loss of thermo-responsiveness in the hydrogel. Therapeutic use of the thermo-responsive hydrogel in the intratumoural treatment of solid cancer is also described.
