  • Publication number: 20240108623
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods for treating a subject having cancer. Certain aspects relate to treating a subject for lung cancer by administering poziotinib to a subject determined, from analysis of tumor DNA from the subject, to have an EGFR mutation of a particular classification. Further aspects relate to methods for treating a subject for lung cancer by detecting an EGFR mutation of a particular classification in tumor DNA from the subject and administering an effective amount of poziotinib to the subject. Also disclosed are methods for stratifying and prognosing subjects based on EGFR mutation classification.

  • Publication number: 20240011103
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for determining a subtype of a small cell lung cancer in a patient based on the express status of ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3, which are expressed in a mutually exclusive fashion. The subtype of the cancer can be used to determine the sensitivity of the cancer to certain anti-cancer therapies. As such, also provided are methods of treating patients having small cell lung cancer based on the subtyping results.

  • Publication number: 20230405117
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods for classification and treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Certain aspects pertain to treatment of a subject having SCLC using a targeting agent for a cell surface protein, where a targeting agent is selected based on a subtype classification of the SCLC. Disclosed are methods for identifying a subject as having an SCLC subtype (e.g., SCLC-A, SCLC-N, SCLC-P, SCLC-I) and administering a targeting agent configured to target a cell surface protein associated with the identified SCLC subtype. Also disclosed are compositions comprising targeting agents for treatment of SCLC.
