Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080318230GENE EXPRESSION MARKERS FOR RESPONSE TO EGFR INHIBITOR DRUGS - The present invention concerns prognostic markers associated with cancer. In particular, the invention concerns prognostic methods based on the molecular characterization of gene expression in paraffin-embedded, fixed samples of cancer tissue, which allow a physician to predict whether a patient is likely to respond well to treatment with an EGFR inhibitor.12-25-2008
20090280490Expression Profile Algorithm and Test for Cancer Prognosis - The present invention provides a noninvasive, quantitative test for prognosis determination in cancer patients. The test relies on measurements of the tumor levels of certain messenger RNAs (mRNAs). These mRNA levels are inserted into a polynomial formula (algorithm) that yields a numerical recurrence score, which indicates recurrence risk.11-12-2009
20090291434Gene expression markers for colorectal cancer prognosis - A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprising determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject.11-26-2009
20090298701PREDICTORS OF PATIENT RESPONSE TO TREATMENT WITH EGF RECEPTOR INHIBITORS - The present invention provides methods and compositions to facilitate determining whether an EGFR-expressing cancer in an individual is an EGFR inhibitor-responsive cancer, as well as methods for determining the likelihood that a patient having an EGFR-expressing cancer will exhibit a beneficial response to an EGFR inhibitor therapy. The methods generally involve determining a normalized expression level of a gene product that correlates with EGFR inhibitor responsiveness.12-03-2009
20090305277GENE EXPRESSION MARKERS FOR PREDICTION OF PATIENT RESPONSE TO CHEMOTHERAPY - The present invention relates to gene sets useful in assessing prognosis and/or predicting the response of cancer, e.g. colorectal cancer to chemotherapy. In addition, the invention relates to a clinically validated cancer test, e.g. colorectal test, for assessment of prognosis and/or prediction of patient response to chemotherapy, using expression analysis. The present invention accommodates the use of archived paraffin embedded biopsy material for assay of all markers in the relevant gene sets and therefore is compatible with the most widely available type of biopsy material.12-10-2009
20090311702TESTS TO PREDICT RESPONSIVENESS OF CANCER PATIENTS TO CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT OPTIONS - The present disclosure provides methods and compositions to facilitate prediction of the likelihood of responsiveness of cancer patients to treatment including a taxane and/or a cyclophosphamide.12-17-2009
20100184041Molecular Indicators of Breast Cancer Prognosis and Prediction of Treatment Response - The present invention relates to quantitative molecular indicators that can guide clinical decisions in breast cancer, such as estrogen receptor (ESR1)-positive, lymph node-negative breast cancer. In particular, the invention concerns certain genes, the varied expression of which indicates the likelihood of recurrence of surgically resected breast cancer in patients who are not treated with a therapeutic agent in the adjuvant setting. In addition, the invention concerns the use of quantitative measurement of the expression of certain genes, including the ESR1 gene, that measure as a continuous variable, to determine (a) the likelihood of a beneficial response to the anti-estrogen therapeutic agent, such as tamoxifen; and (b) the potential magnitude of beneficial response to chemotherapy.07-22-2010
20100190173Gene Expression Markers For Colorectal Cancer Prognosis - A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprising determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject.07-29-2010
20100209920Gene Expression Profiling in Biopsied Tumor Tissues - The invention concerns sensitive methods to measure mRNA levels in biopsied tumor tissues, including archived paraffin-embedded biopsy material. The invention also concerns breast cancer gene sets important in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, and methods for assigning the most optimal treatment options to breast cancer patient based upon knowledge derived from gene expression studies.08-19-2010
20100222229Gene Expression Markers for Breast Cancer Prognosis - The present invention provides gene sets the expression of which is important in the diagnosis and/or prognosis of breast cancer.09-02-2010
20100267032Prediction of Likelihood of Cancer Recurrence - The present invention provides gene sets the expression of which is important in the diagnosis and/or prognosis of cancer, in particular of breast cancer.10-21-2010
20110039269Gene Expression Markers for Colorectal Cancer Prognosis - A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprising determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject.02-17-2011
20110039270Gene Expression Markers for Colorectal Cancer Prognosis - A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprising determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject.02-17-2011
20110039271Gene Expression Markers for Colorectal Cancer Prognosis - A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprising determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject.02-17-2011
20110039272Gene Expression Markers for Colorectal Cancer Prognosis - A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprising determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject.02-17-2011
20110097759Gene Expression Markers for Colorectal Cancer Prognosis - A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprising determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject.04-28-2011
20110111421Gene Expression Markers for Colorectal Cancer Prognosis - A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprising determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject.05-12-2011
20110123990Methods To Predict Clinical Outcome Of Cancer - The present invention provides methods to determine the prognosis and appropriate treatment for patients diagnosed with cancer, based on the expression levels of one or more biomarkers. More particularly, the invention relates to the identification of genes, or sets of genes, able to distinguish breast cancer patients with a good clinical prognosis from those with a bad clinical prognosis. The invention further provides methods for providing a personalized genomics report for a cancer patient.
