Article Abstract:

CombinatoRx, a young biotech company in Boston, Massachusetts, is making its mark by adopting a very different approach to test a drug combination on cancerous cells instead of the pain sticking process of developing new drugs. The current phase I and II clinical trials are testing combinations against rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, asthma and metastatic cancers, where they have paired the anticlotting agent dipyridamole with the steroid prednisolone to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
