摘要:
The present invention provides, among other things, compositions and methods relating to detection and/or treatment cancer (e.g., one or more tumors) that expresses Neuropilin 1 (NRP1). The present invention provides methods of treating cancer that include administering a chlorotoxin agent to a subject (e.g., to a subject suffering from or susceptible to the cancer which may, in some embodiments, be a cancer that expresses NRP1). In some embodiments, a chlorotoxin agent for use in accordance with the present invention can be or comprise a chlorotoxin polypeptide and a payload moiety (e.g., as a covalent conjugate).
摘要:
Provided herein are methods of identifying a subpopulation of ovarian cancer patients who would be responsive to treatment regimens that target folate receptor alpha (FRA)-expressing ovarian tumors and methods of treatment of such patients using an anti-FRA therapeutic agent, such as an antigen-binding protein (e.g., antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof) that specifically binds to FRA. Also provided are related kits for identification and treatment of the subpopulation of ovarian cancer patients.
摘要:
Described herein are methods of using biomarker levels to detect proteins in a biological sample obtained from a patient with ovarian cancer, calculate a quantitative score for a patient with ovarian cancer, and predict a likelihood of a clinical outcome in a patient with ovarian cancer. The methods involve determining a level of at least three proteins in the biological sample obtained from the patient wherein the at least three proteins are selected from ANG-2, HE4, PROSTASIN, EGFR and IL-8, calculating a quantitative score for the patient by weighting the level of the at least three proteins by their contribution to a clinical outcome, and/or predicting a likelihood of a clinical outcome for the patient based on the quantitative score. Also provided are sets of reagents and test kits to the levels of the biomarkers described herein.
摘要:
The present invention relates to diazabenzo[de]anthracen-3-one compounds which inhibit poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (“PARP”), compositions containing these compounds and methods for using these PARP inhibitors to treat, prevent and/or ameliorate the effects of the conditions described herein.
摘要:
The present invention relates to tetraaza phenalen-3-one compounds which inhibit poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and are useful in the chemosensitization of cancer therapeutics. The induction of peripheral neuropathy is a common side-effect of many of the conventional and newer chemotherapies. The present invention further provides means to reliably prevent or cure chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. The invention also relates to the use of the disclosed PARP inhibitor compounds in enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents such as temozolomide. The invention also relates to the use of the disclosed PARP inhibitor compounds to radiosensitize tumor cells to ionizing radiation. The invention also relates to the use of the disclosed PARP inhibitor compounds for treatment of cancers with DNA repair defects.
摘要:
The present invention provides certain tetrahydrouridine derivative compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising such compounds, and methods of making and using such compounds.
摘要:
This invention relates to novel monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to the alpha-folate receptor. In some embodiments, the antibodies inhibit a biological activity of folate receptor-α (FR-α). The antibodies are useful in the treatment of certain cancers, particularly cancers that have increased cell surface expression of the alpha-folate receptor (“FR-α”), such as ovarian, breast, renal, colorectal, lung, endometrial, or brain cancer. The invention also relates to cells expressing the monoclonal antibodies, antibody derivatives, such as chimeric and humanized monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, and methods of detecting and treating cancer using the antibodies, derivatives, and fragments.
