  • Publication number: 20190194750
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are WNT and Hippo pathway markers associated with sensitivity to treatment with Aurora A kinase inhibitors. Claimed genes include LEF1, MAP3K7, APC, FZD2, PRKCA, RORA, CAMK2G, JUN, XP01, ROR2, CCND1 & CTNNB1 (WNT pathway) and AMOT, DVL2, LATS1, LATS2, MOB1 B, NPHP4, TJP1, TJP2, WCC1, WWTR1 & YAP1 (Hippo pathway). Sensitivity to treatment with an Aurora A kinase inhibitor is observed when the aforementioned markers have mutations in tumor cells. Compositions and methods are provided to assess marker genes to predict response to Aurora Kinase A inhibition treatment and for patient selection.

  • Patent number: 9409961
    Abstract: The present invention provides compounds to disrupt the eIF4E-eIF4G interaction and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such compounds. Generally, the compounds are cell-penetrating peptides which bind mammalian initiation factor eIF4E (CPP-eIF4E), wherein the peptide comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 7, 9-11, 12-26, 27-44 and 45-51. More preferably, the amino acid sequence comprises at least 9 to about 40 amino acids and the mammalian initiation factor eIF4E is human initiation factor eIF4E.

  • Publication number: 20080207563
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for synergistically inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells by contacting the tumor cells with a MEK inhibitor compound and erlotinib, either sequentially or simultaneously. Also disclosed are methods for inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells in a human, by administering to the human, sequentially or simultaneously, an amount of erlotinib and a MEK inhibitor compound, wherein the amounts are effective, in combination, to synergistically inhibit the proliferation of the tumor cells in the human.
