Amplified Cancer Target Genes Useful In Diagnosis And Thereapeutic Screening

View page
US Patent:
20060134622, Jun 22, 2006
Filed:
Dec 19, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/540311
Inventors:
Meena Augustus - Gaithersburg MD, US
Stephen Horrigan - Gaithersburg MD, US
Colyn Cain - Bethesda MD, US
Jeffrey Strovel - Laurel MD, US
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
US Classification:
435006000
Abstract:
A gene useful as a prognostic indicator of survival of patients afflicted with cancers such as breast cancer is described. Also disclosed are methods for screening potential therapeutic agents, such as antitumor agents, based on their modulation of the expression of a TRIP13 gene, or splice variants thereof, along with methods for diagnosing cancerous, or potentially cancerous, conditions as a result of the expression, or patterns of expression, of such genes, including changes in copy number. Also disclosed are methods for detecting or determining functionally related genes, where disruption of TRIP13 may affect such related-gene expression, as well as methods for treating cancer based on targeting expression products of such genes and determining genes involved in the cancerous process. Methods for identifying, detecting and following patients and others having high levels of amplification/expression of the gene before treatment where differences after treatment serve as markers for indication of success of treatment or for identifying individuals who would benefit from such treatment using this gene marker as a diagnostic and/or prognostic and/or pharmacodynamic or surrogate marker are described.

US Patent:
20070059697, Mar 15, 2007
Filed:
Apr 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/553098
Inventors:
Jeffrey Strovel - North Potomac MD, US
Colyn Cain - Bethesda MD, US
Stephen Horrigan - Potomac MD, US
Meena Augustus - Gaithersburg MD, US
Assignee:
AVALON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC - Germantown MD
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
C12P 19/34
US Classification:
435006000, 435091200
Abstract:
Methods for identifying potential therapeutic agents, such as anti-tumor agents, based on their modulation of the expression of specified genes, especially genes mapping to specific chromosomal regions, are disclosed. Also described are methods for diagnosing cancerous, or potentially cancerous, conditions as a result of the expression, or patterns of expression, of such genes, including detecting changes in levels of gene copy number and/or level of amplification of the said gene, or sets of genes, to detect and/or diagnose the cancer. Methods for detecting or determining functionally related genes, as well as methods for treating cancer based on targeting expression products of such genes, determining genes involved in the cancerous process and the success and/or response rates and survival statistics for cancer patients on treatment are encompassed by the invention. Also encompassed are methods involving determining the modulated expression of the genes in these regions of interest (ROIs) as pharmacodynamic/pharmacogenetic /surrogate markers and/or for patient profiling prior to accrual for clinical trials/treatments based on the identification of these genes as validated gene/drug targets in various cancer tissue types.

International Classification:
A61K 39/395
A61P 35/00
C07K 16/30
C12Q 1/68
US Classification:
424138100, 435006000, 514789000, 530387900
Abstract:
Cancer-linked gene sequences, and derived amino acid sequences, are disclosed along with methods for assaying for potential antitumor agents based on their modulation of the expression of these cancer-related genes. Also disclosed are antibodies that react with the disclosed polypeptides and methods of using the antibodies to treat cancerous conditions, such as using the antibody to target cancerous cells in vivo for purposes of delivering therapeutic agents thereto. Also described are methods of diagnosing cancer using the gene sequences as well as the polypeptide sequences.

US Patent:
20080305493, Dec 11, 2008
Filed:
Mar 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
10/591049
Inventors:
Jeffrey W. Strovel - Laurel MD, US
Colyn B. Cain - Bethesda MD, US
Stephen K. Horrigan - Poolesville MD, US
Meena Augustus - Gaithersburg MD, US
Assignee:
AVALON PHARMACEUTICALS - Germantown MD
International Classification:
G01N 33/53
C12Q 1/68
C12Q 1/02
C12N 5/06
G01N 33/566
US Classification:
435 71, 435 6, 436501, 435 29, 435375
Abstract:
Methods for identifying antineoplastic agents by using their ability to modify expression of specific genes or the biological activity of polypeptides encoded by such genes, wherein said genes are located in specific chromosomal regions, called amplicons, or regions of interest, and the presence of such amplified regions within a cancerous cell, are disclosed. Also described are methods for diagnosing cancerous, or potentially cancerous, conditions using these methods. Also encompassed are methods involving determining the modulated expression of the genes in these regions of interest (ROIs), or amplicons, as pharmacodynamic/pharmacogenetic/surrogate markers and/or for patient profiling prior to accrual for clinical trials/treatments based on the identification of these genes as validated gene/drug targets in various cancer tissue types.

Methods For The Cytological Analysis Of Cervical Cells

Colyn Cain - Bethesda MD, US
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
US Classification:
435 6
