Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080199873 | Companion diagnostic assays for cancer therapy - Methods for identifying cancer patients eligible to receive Bcl-2 family inhibitor therapy and for monitoring patient response to Bcl-2 family inhibitor therapy comprise assessment of the expression levels of the biomarker combinations set out in TABLES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in a patient tissue sample. The methods of the invention allow more effective identification of patients to receive Bcl-2 family inhibitor therapy and of determination of patient response to the therapy. | 08-21-2008 |
20080269067 | Companion diagnostic assays for cancer therapy - A method for classifying cancer patients as eligible to receive cancer therapy comprising determination of the presence or absence in a patient tissue sample of chromosomal copy number gain at chromosomal locus 18q21-q22. The classification of cancer patients based upon the presence or absence of 18q21-q22 gain allows selection of patients to receive chemotherapy, such as therapy with a Bcl-2 family inhibitor, and for monitoring patient response to therapy. | 10-30-2008 |
