Patent attributes
The present invention provides compositions and methods of treating neovascular diseases, such as a retinal neovascular diseases and tumors, by administering to a patient suffering from a neovascular disease or tumor a vascular development inhibiting amount of a combination of the angiogenesis suppressing drugs comprising an angiostatic fragment of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS) and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling inhibitor and an integrin signaling inhibitor. Compositions for use in the methods include an admixture of an angiostatic fragment of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS) and at least one of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling inhibitor and an integrin signaling inhibitor, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
