20140242597 | PREDICTING TUMOR RESPONSE TO ANTI-ERBB3 ANTIBODIES - A diagnostic method for predicting quantitatively whether a human tumor will be sensitive or resistant to treatment with an ERBB3 inhibitor, e.g, an anti-ERBB3 antibody, is disclosed. The method is based on measurement of NRG1 expression at the RNA level, or at the protein level, in a tissue sample from the tumor. | 08-28-2014 |
20140193427 | ANTI-GDF15 ANTIBODIES - Monoclonal antibodies that bind and inhibit the activity of human GDF15 are disclosed. The antibodies can be used to treat body weight loss, including cachexia, associated with the over-expression of human GDF15. | 07-10-2014 |
20140178935 | HEPATOCYTE GROWTH FACTOR (HGF) BINDING PROTEINS - The present invention provides a family of binding proteins that bind and neutralize the activity of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), in particular human HGF. The binding proteins can be used as diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. With regard to their therapeutic activity, the binding proteins can be used to treat certain HGF responsive disorders, for example, certain HGF responsive tumors. | 06-26-2014 |
20140178934 | HEPATOCYTE GROWTH FACTOR (HGF) BINDING PROTEINS - The present invention provides a family of binding proteins that bind and neutralize the activity of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), in particular human HGF. The binding proteins can be used as diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. With regard to their therapeutic activity, the binding proteins can be used to treat certain HGF responsive disorders, for example, certain HGF responsive tumors. | 06-26-2014 |
20140066603 | ANTI-RON ANTIBODIES - Monoclonal antibodies that bind and inhibit activation of human RON (Recepteur d'Origine Nantais) are disclosed. The antibodies can be used to treat certain forms of cancer that are associated with activation of RON. | 03-06-2014 |
20140045715 | TIVOZANIB RESPONSE PREDICTION - A diagnostic method for predicting whether a human tumor will be sensitive or resistant to treatment with tivozanib (AV-951) is disclosed. The method is based on measurement of macrophage content in a tissue sample from a tumor. Measurement of macrophage content can be based on analysis of macrophage marker gene expression, e.g., by RNA analysis or immunohistochemistry. | 02-13-2014 |
20130165343 | IDENTIFICATION OF MULTIGENE BIOMARKERS - Methods for identifying multigene biomarkers for predicting sensitivity or resistance to an anti-cancer drug of interest, or multigene cancer prognostic biomarkers are disclosed. The disclosed methods are based on the classification of the mammalian genome into 51 transcription clusters, i.e., non-overlapping, functionally relevant groups of genes whose intra-group transcript levels are highly correlated. Also disclosed are specific multigene biomarkers for predicting sensitivity or resistance to tivozanib, or rapamycin, and a specific multigene biomarker for determining breast cancer prognosis, all of which were identified using the methods disclosed herein. | 06-27-2013 |

The disclosed methods are based on the classification of the mammalian genome into 51 transcription clusters, i.e., non-overlapping, functionally relevant groups of genes whose intra-group transcript levels are highly correlated. Also disclosed are specific multigene biomarkers for predicting sensitivity or resistance to tivozanib, or rapamycin, and a specific multigene biomarker for determining breast cancer prognosis, all of which were identified using the methods disclosed herein. | 06-27-2013 |
20120302572 | USE OF EMT GENE SIGNATURES IN CANCER DRUG DISCOVERY, DIAGNOSTICS, AND TREATMENT - The present invention provides diagnostic methods for assessing the EMT status of tumor cells, and for predicting the effectiveness of treatment of a cancer patient with an EGFR or IGF-1R kinase inhibitor, utilizing an EMT gene signature index score. The present invention further provides methods for treating patients with cancer that incorporate these methods. | 11-29-2012 |
20080234304 | N3-Pyridyl-Thiamine And Its Use In Cancer Treatments - The invention provides methods using N3-pyridyl-thiamine compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising N3-pyridyl-thiamine, which are especially useful for preventing or reducing tumor growth in vivo. The invention is also directed to the benefits of reducing thiamine concentrations, e.g., by means of a thiamine reduced diet, as an effective step in a therapeutic regime for patients treated with N3-pyridyl-thiamine. | 09-25-2008 |
