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 |

20110105341 | Diagnostic Methods For Determining Prognosis Of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - The present disclosure provides methods for identifying early stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who will have an unfavorable prognosis for the recurrence of lung cancer after surgical resection. The methods are based in part on the discovery of chromosomal copy number abnormalities that can be used for prognostic classification. The methods preferably use fluorescence in situ hybridization with fluorescently labeled nucleic acid probes to hybridize to patient samples to quantify the chromosomal copy number of these genetic loci. | 05-05-2011 |
20110130295 | Diagnostic Methods For Determining Prognosis Of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - Disclosed are methods for identifying early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who will have an unfavorable prognosis for the recurrence of lung cancer after surgical resection. The methods are based in part on the discovery that chromosomal copy number gains at Chr19, 34.7 Mb-35.6 Mb can be used for prognostic classification. The methods preferably use fluorescence in situ hybridization with fluorescently labeled nucleic acid probes to hybridize to patient samples to quantify the chromosomal copy number of this genetic locus. | 06-02-2011 |
20120135429 | PRO-GRP AS A SURROGATE MARKER TO PREDICT AND MONITOR RESPONSE TO BCL-2 INHIBITOR THERAPY - A method for classifying cancer patients as eligible to receive cancer therapy with a Bcl-2 inhibitor comprising determination of the presence or absence in a patient tissue sample of levels of pro-GRP, as a surrogate marker for the presence of chromosomal copy number gain at chromosomal locus 18q21-q22. The classification of cancer patients based upon pro-GRP levels as a surrogate for the presence or absence of 18q21-q22 gain allows selection of patients to receive chemotherapy with a Bcl-2 family inhibitor, either as monotherapy or as part of combination therapy, and to monitor patient response to such therapy using a peripheral blood sample. | 05-31-2012 |
20120178632 | BIOMARKERS FOR IDENTIFYING PATIENT CLASSES - Disclosed are methods for classifying a patient with cancer as a candidate for therapy with a Bcl-2 family inhibitor comprising determining the level of at least one biomarker in a sample and comparing the biomarker level to a threshold level. Also described are methods for identifying classes of patients having a refractory cancer for second-line therapy comprising a Bcl-2 family inhibitor, where the method comprises determining the level of at least one biomarker in a sample and comparing the biomarker level to a threshold level. | 07-12-2012 |
20120264635 | DETECTION OF CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH PROGNOSIS OF NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER - The methods and compositions described herein address the need for a diagnostic method that can be provided to patients with early stage lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), to determine whether the patient is at increased risk of poor disease outcome. The methods and compositions thus allow for more informed treatment decisions for the early stage lung cancer patient. | 10-18-2012 |
