Pathological and harmful tissue or cell growth in mammals, including humans, is inhibited by the administration of a composition defined by (1) a water-soluble cyclodextrin sulfate salt, together with (2) an organic inhibitor compound growth. The latter (2) may be a steroid having no inhibitory effect in the absence of (1), or else an organic compound which may be an active growth inhibitor whose action is potentiated by (1). The invention describes a method for inhibiting angiogenesis and arresting tumor growth as well as for treating other diseases and conditions associated with harmful tissue or cell growth, including angiogenesis. |
