摘要:
The invention relates to methods for typing a sample of an individual suffering from a colorectal cancer, or suspected of suffering therefrom. A preferred sample is stool. The invention further relates to methods for determining a level of expression of at least two extracted protein expression molecules in stool,, based on the quantified reaction products, and to methods of assigning treatment to an individual that was typed as suffering from colorectal cancer according to the invention.
摘要:
The invention provides for a method for predicting responsiveness, i.e. sensitivity or resistance, of an estrogen receptor a-positive tumor to hormonal therapy based upon predictive biomarkers. The invention will aid in determining a suitable therapy for ERa-positive cancer patients. Kits and arrays for predicting responsiveness of an ERa-positive tumor to hormonal therapy are also provided. Finally, the invention provides for use of hormonal therapy or chemotherapy in a select patient group, i.e., those identified based on predicted response to hormonal therapy.

The current disclosure relates to pharmaceutical combinations and compositions useful in the treatment of certain types of cancer. The disclosure also relates to method of treatment these certain types of cancer. In particular, the disclosure relates to the combined use of inhibitors of MEK, EGFR and ERBB2 in the treatment of KRAS-mutant lung cancer, and KRAS-mutant colon cancer.
摘要:
The invention relates to a combination of an activator of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and an inhibitor of insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling, for use as a medicament. The invention further relates to a kit of parts and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an activator of GR and an inhibitor of IGF1 signaling, preferably for use in a method of treating a cancer.
摘要:
Provided are methods for predicting the responsiveness (predictive assays) of a gastrointestinal cancer patient or stratifying said patient into a responder or non-responder to a chemotherapy treatment comprising: 1) 5-flurouracil or capecitabine in combination with irinotecan or 2) irinotecan only or 3) 5-fluorouracil alone. Also provided are methods of treating a gastrointestinal cancer patient using the predictive assay of the invention. The methods of the invention can be advantageously used to decide on or assign the best treatment option(s) to a gastrointestinal cancer patient, to prevent exposing said patient to the unnecessary side effects associated with a treatment which will prove to be ineffective at a later stage, and/or to reduce the financial burden associated with ineffective cancer treatment options.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of cancer, more particularly to the field of immunotherapy and gene signatures. Provided are two specific and distinct gene signatures, namely a Response Immune Signal (RIS) gene signature and a Stromal Immune Signal (SIS) gene signature, which can be used as biomarkers to accurately predict the response of a cancer subject to treatment with a PD-1 antagonist (e.g., PD-1 antibody) and/or a CTLA-4 antagonist (e.g., CTLA-4 antibody). In particular, it was found that the RIS and SIS gene signatures of the invention may be used in combination to predict the response of a cancer subject to treatment with a combination therapy consisting of a PD-1 antagonist (e.g., PD-1 antibody) and a CTLA-4 antagonist (e.g., CTLA-4 antibody). The gene signatures of the invention may be advantageously used in methods for treating cancer, such as melanoma, and to help devise treatment strategies best suited to individual patients (e.g., to achieve personalized therapy, and spare patients from undesired side effects, e.g., toxicity).

摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of biomarker development for cancer immunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitor compounds and/or PD-L1 inhibitor compounds. Provided are assays for quantifying PD-1 expression (i.e. immunostaining intensity) in cells present in a tumor sample (i.e. intratumoral cells), which are advantageously used to identify a unique sub-population of intratumoral cells referred to herein as PD-1 T cells, which serves as a biomarker for cancer immunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitor compounds and/or PD-L1 inhibitor compounds alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents (e.g. CTLA-4 inhibitor compound, e.g. ipilimumab). The present invention also provides methods of selecting a human subject diagnosed with cancer (e.g. non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)) suitable for immune checkpoint therapy with agents such as PD-1 inhibitors (e.g. nivolumab) and/or PD-L1 inhibitors (e.g. atezolizumab) alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents (e.g. CTLA- 4 inhibitor compound, e.g. ipilimumab), methods for predicting responsiveness to immune checkpoint therapy with agents such as PD-1 inhibitors and/or PD-L1 inhibitors, and method of treatment of a human subject diagnosed with cancer using PD-1 inhibitors and/or PD-L1 inhibitors alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents (e.g. CTLA-4 inhibitor compound, e.g. ipilimumab).
摘要:
The generation of antigen specific T cells by controlled ex vivo induction or expansion can provide highly specific and beneficial T cell therapies. The present disclosure provides T cell manufacturing methods and therapeutic T cell compositions which can be used for treating subjects with cancer and other conditions, diseases and disorders personal antigen specific T cell therapy.
摘要:
The current invention relates to a fast, flexible and efficient method to generate MHC multimers loaded with a desired peptide, by using temperature-mediated peptide exchange. The method may be used at the same time in parallel for different desired peptides. In the method conditional peptides are used that form stable peptide-MHC complexes at low temperatures, but dissociate when exposed to a defined elevated temperature. The resulting conditional MHC I complexes and multimers can be loaded with peptides of choice.
