  • Patent number: 10273304
    Abstract: Provided are methods for optimizing therapy of, treating a patient having, or selecting (identifying) patients who will benefit from treatment for, a cancer (e.g., a non-hematological cancer; e.g., a gynecological cancer). The methods comprise determining whether the patient will benefit from treatment with an ErbB3 inhibitor (e.g., an anti-ErbB3 antibody), with or without either a taxane or an aromatase inhibitor, or with a taxane or an aromatase inhibitor in the absence of an ErbB3 inhibitor, based on levels of particular biomarkers and combinations of biomarkers measured in a biological sample obtained from the patient. The methods further comprise optimizing the patient's therapy, selecting the patient for treatment, or treating the patient accordingly. In various aspects the biological samples are sections of a biopsy (e.g., a formalin fixed paraffin embedded biopsy). In oth6er aspects the biomarkers are proteins and/or nucleic acids.

  • Patent number: 10159952
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for lysing a single cell embedded in a tissue from the inside of the cell, and collecting the intracellular lysate for use in analytical methods. This method preserves the state of molecules of the cell, and therefore allows for transformation of a single target cell in live tissue into a format that can be evaluated using analytical methods.

  • Publication number: 20180104663
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for the isolation of a single cell embedded in a tissue while preserving the state of molecules of the cell, and therefore allows for transformation of a single target cell in live tissue into a format that can be evaluated using analytical methods.

  • Publication number: 20180002754
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating cancer in a subject, and methods for inhibiting growth, migration and/or invasion of a cancer cell in the subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof that downmodulales Fzd2. The antibody may specifically bind Fzd2, and may promote internalization of the Fzd2 receptor by the cancer cells and/or prevent ligand binding to Fzd2. Specific antibodies, and also specific portions of the Fzd2 molecule for antibody binding are disclosed. In one embodiment the antibody specifically binds to the epitope HGAEQICVGQNHSEDGAPAL (SEQ ID NO: 1). Specific cancers (e.g. late stage hepatocellular carcinoma), intended for treatment are provided, and include cancers that exhibit overexpression of Fzd2, and/or Wnt5a.

  • Publication number: 20170306415
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for selecting a therapy for, or for providing a treatment to, a patient having a cancer. The methods of the present invention comprise detecting the protein biomarkers c-Met, HGF, and EpCAM in cancer cells or cancerous tissues of a subject, and predicting the subject's responsiveness to treatment with a c-Met-targeted or other HGF-inhibitory treatment, thereby enabling the selection and administration of an effective therapeutic.
