The present invention relates to combinations of at least two compounds A and B, compound A being an inhibitor of Mps-1 kinase, and compound B being an inhibitor of an anti-apoptotic protein of the Bcl-2 family. Another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of such combinations as described supra for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of a disease, particularly for the treatment of cancer. Another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of an anti- apoptotic protein from the Bcl-2 family as a sensitizer of cells to Mps-1 inhibitors. Another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of the ratio of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins from the Bcl-2 family in a biological sample as a biomarker for a Mps-1 kinase inhibitor treatment. |
