  • Publication number: 20120315648
    Abstract: The invention is based on the finding that cells that show (especially tyrosine) phosphorylation of FGF-R substrate 2 (FRS-2), in contrast to cells that lack such phosphorylation, allow a prediction that treatment with a modulator, especially an inhibitor, of Fibroblast Growth Factor-Receptor signaling will be successful in cells e.g. from biological samples from patients that show such phosphorylation. Therefore, the phosphorylation of FRS-2 can serve as a biomarker for the possibility of successful treatment. The invention relates to various methods, uses, kits and reagents useful in applying this biomarker.

  • Publication number: 20120220600
    Abstract: An N-oxide of 3-(2,6-Dichloro-3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl)-1-{6-[4-(4-ethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenylamino]-pyrimidin-4-yl}-1-methyl-urea, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, compositions including the compound and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and methods of preparing the compound and the compositions (such as, for example, by oxidizing 3-(2,6-Dichloro-3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl)-1-{6-[4-(4-ethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenylamino]-pyrimidin-4-yl}-1-methyl-urea with an oxidizing agent) are described. Further described herein are methods of using the compound and compositions of the present technology, alone and in combination with other suitable agents, to treat various diseases, including but not limited to, those that can be prevented, inhibited or ameliorated by inhibition of kinase activity selected from FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 or FGFR4.

  • Publication number: 20110045511
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods of in vitro diagnostics, in particular the use of a compound selected from the group consisting of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), inorganic phosphorus (P), the product of inorganic phosphorus and total calcium (PĂ—tCa), osteopontin (OPN) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) as biomarker. Said biomarkers can be used to monitor the modulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) kinase activity, in particular its inhibition, and/or the occurrence of secondary effects of FGFR inhibition. The invention further provides methods and kits relating to these uses.
