  • Publication number: 20130190310
    Abstract: We identify markers capable of guiding the decision to incorporate epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, in particular EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), into chemotherapeutic regimens. Mitogen-inducible gene 6 (Mig6), a negative regulator of EGFR, is selectively upregulated during the development of resistance to the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) erlotinib, resulting in decreased EGFR phosphorylation. The ratio of Mig6/EGFR expression highly correlates with erlotinib sensitivity. A low Mig6/EGFR ratio correlates with a high response rate to gefitinib and a marked increase in progression-free survival for patients. The ratio of Mig6 to EGFR is a major predictor of biologic and clinical responses to EGFR inhibitors.

  • Publication number: 20130018062
    Abstract: The perception of pain precedes the manifestation of measurable and quantifiable clinical symptoms of most diseases. Pain is an early warning signal at the beginning of a physical abnormality. The present invention discloses novel methods to ameliorate or reverse diseases at their warning stages by therapeutic intervention of pain before a definite clinical diagnosis of the abnormality can be made. Unprecedented methods to eliminate pain caused by inflammatory autoimmune response or inflammatory allergic response or malignant and benign neoplastic growth by administering metabolism blocked antifolate compounds are described.
