METHOD FOR THE PROGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CANCER METASTASIS

The present invention relates to a method for the prognosis of bone metastasis in triple negative (including basal-like) breast cancer or, alternatively, ER+ breast cancer (including luminal A and B) which comprises determining if the c-MAF gene is amplified in a primary tumor sample. Likewise, the invention also relates to a method for determining the tendency to develop bone metastasis with respect to metastasis in other organs, which comprise determining the c-MAF gene expression level, amplification or translocation. The invention also relates to a method for predicting early bone metastasis in a subject suffering breast cancer. The invention also relates to a c-MAF inhibitor as therapeutic agent for use in the treatment of triple negative (including basal-like) breast cancer metastasis or, alternatively, ER+ breast cancer (including luminal A and B) metastasis. The invention relates to kits for predicting bone metastasis and predicting the clinical outcome of a subject suffering from bone metastasis. Finally, the invention relates to a method for typing of a subject suffering breast cancer and for classifying a subject from breast cancer into a cohort.

Chemical entities that are kinase inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using these chemical entities, e.g., for treatment of cancer are described.

NOVEL PEPTIDES AND COMBINATION OF PEPTIDES FOR USE IN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER AND OTHER CANCERS

A method of treating a patient who has liver cancer (HCC), breast cancer (BRCA), melanoma, and/or uterine cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide. A pharmaceutical composition contains activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in a patient that aberrantly express a peptide, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, in which the T cells bind to the peptide in a complex with an MHC class I molecule, and the composition is for treating the patient who has HCC, BRCA, melanoma, and/or uterine cancer. A method of treating a patient who has HCC, BRCA, melanoma, and/or uterine cancer includes administering to said patient a composition comprising a peptide in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereby inducing a T-cell response to the HCC, BRCA, melanoma, and/or uterine cancer.

MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AGAINST C-MET

Isolated monoclonal antibodies which bind to human c-Met, the hepatocyte growth factor receptor, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the antibodies are also disclosed.

NOVEL PEPTIDES AND COMBINATION OF PEPTIDES FOR USE IN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER AND OTHER CANCERS

A method of treating a patient who has prostate cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide. A pharmaceutical composition contains activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in a patient that aberrantly express a peptide, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, in which the T cells bind to the peptide in a complex with an MHC class I molecule, and the composition is for treating the patient who has prostate cancer. A method of treating a patient who has prostate cancer includes administering to said patient a composition comprising a peptide in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereby inducing a T-cell response to the prostate cancer.

20170242011 · 2017-08-24 ·

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for-determining a treatment course of action. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for the prediction of a subject's response to cancer therapies and administration of appropriate treatments.

Discovery and Validation of Cancer Biomarkers Using a Protein Analysis Methodology to Analyze Specimens

Methods are provided for the analysis, including the serial analysis, of very small samples of tissue. The methods utilize a nanofluidic proteomic immunoassay (NIA) to quantify total and low-abundance protein isoforms in a small amount of lysate. NIA detection accurately measure oncoprotein expression and activation in limited clinical specimens, including isoforms that differ in post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation, and the like. The NIA detection method combines isoelectric protein focusing and antibody detection in a nanofluidic system.

METHODS OF INHIBITING CANCER STEM CELLS WITH HMGA1 INHIBITORS

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to methods of inhibiting cancer stem cells and growth of aggressive and/or poorly differentiated metastatic tumors comprising the cancer stem cells with HMGA1 inhibitors. The presently disclosed subject matter also provides methods of selecting and treating a subject with aggressive and/or poorly differentiated metastatic cancer using HMGA1 inhibitors.

TERT FUSIONS
20170198356 · 2017-07-13 · ·

The invention provides TERT gene fusions, TERT fusion proteins, and fragments of those genes and polypeptides. The invention further provides methods of diagnosing diseases or disorders associated with TERT fusions, such as conditions mediated by aberrant TERT expression or activity, or overexpression of TERT.
