摘要:
The present invention relates to an in vitro method for determining the prognosis of pancreatic cancer in a patient. More particularly, this method comprises the following steps: a) measuring the expression level of at least one gene chosen in the group consisting in: ACOX-1, TNFRSF10B, LYN, HIF1A, UBE2H, PARP2, ABCC1, ABCC3, IGJ and RPS23 or homologous genes, in a blood sample of said patient, b) predicting the outcome of the pancreatic cancer in said patient. The invention also relates to a kit specifically designed to carry out such a method.
摘要:
The present invention relates to pancreatic cancer, and more particularly to the survival prognosis of a patient suffering from pancreatic cancer. The invention also aims to determine the suitability of said patient to receive a treatment for pancreatic cancer, in particular a treatment with gemcitabine. The invention also concerns a method for monitoring the effectiveness of a treatment for pancreatic cancer, and advantageously a treatment with gemcitabine, by implementing the method.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of prognostic of the survival of human subject suffering from chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) based on the differential expression of six genes in a test sample of PBMC cells obtained from said human subject and in a control sample of normal cells, wherein said expression level indicates if the human subject from which the test sample has been obtained will have long-term or short-term survival.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for treating patients afflicted with cancer, wherein said patients are treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor or c-Kit inhibitor, in particular masitinib, optionally in combination with at least one antineoplastic agent. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor or c-Kit inhibitor, and the optional at least one antineoplastic agent, are administered in a dosage regimen that comprises a therapeutically effective amount. The present invention also relates to methods for predicting therapeutic response to said treatment in a given patient and therefore identification of applicable patient subpopulations based upon these predictor factors; sometimes referred to as biomarkers. One method is based upon the clinical marker of pain intensity. The second method is based upon gene expression predictive biomarkers assessed via RNA expression in peripheral blood cell samples collected prior to treatment with a compound of the invention (i.e. a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor or c-Kit inhibitor, especially masitinib). Advantageously, the present invention relates to a method for treating patients afflicted with pancreatic cancer wherein said patients are treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor or c-Kit inhibitor, and in particular masitinib, optionally in combination with at least one antineoplastic agent, and in particular gemcitabine.

A method for treating patients afflicted with cancer, wherein the patients are treated with a compound including tyrosine kinase inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor or c-Kit inhibitor, in particular masitinib, optionally in combination with at least one antineoplastic agent. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor or c-Kit inhibitor, and the optional at least one antineoplastic agent, are administered in a dosage regimen that includes a therapeutically effective amount. Also described are methods for predicting therapeutic response to the treatment in a given patient and therefore identification of applicable patient subpopulations based upon these predictor factors; sometimes referred to as biomarkers. One method is based upon the clinical marker of pain intensity. Another method is based upon gene expression predictive biomarkers assessed via RNA expression in peripheral blood cell samples collected prior to treatment with the compound, which is also used for treating patients afflicted with pancreatic cancer.
