Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials involved in assessing and/or treating mammals (e.g., humans) having cancer (e.g., a SCD1-associated cancer). For example, methods for determining whether or not a cancer is likely to be responsive to one or more stearoyl CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) polypeptide inhibitors (e.g., a selective SCD1 inhibitor (SSI)) are provided. In some cases, the methods and materials for treating a mammal by administering, to the mammal, one or more cancer treatments that is/are selected based, at least in part, on whether or not the mammal is likely to be responsive to one or more SCD1 polypeptide inhibitors e.g., SSI-4) are provided.

Abstract: This document provides compounds, compositions, and methods for treating cancers including renal cancer (e.g., renal cell carcinoma) as well as ovarian, breast, prostate, colon, pancreatic, bladder, liver, lung, and thyroid cancers and melanoma. For example, compounds, compositions, and methods for using one or more inhibitors of SCD1 to treat renal cell carcinoma (e.g., clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC)), thyroid cancer, or liver cancer; or to increase the efficacy of treatment for the same.

Abstract: Methods of treating, preventing or managing triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) or clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are disclosed. The methods encompass the administration of an HDAC inhibitor romidepsin in combination with a cytidine analog. Pharmaceutical compositions and single unit dosage forms suitable for use in the methods provided herein are also disclosed.
