  • Patent number: 11454506
    Abstract: A device may receive geospatial data identifying roads and buildings in a geographical region, and may transform the geospatial data into geospatial objects for the roads and the buildings. The device may correlate shelter data with the geospatial objects to generate correlated data that includes the geospatial objects and the shelter data. The device may process the correlated data to add bounding boxes around the geospatial objects corresponding to the shelters to generate modified correlated data. The device may correlate road weight and type data with the modified correlated data to generate final geospatial data, and may convert the final geospatial data into a directed graph. The device may receive event data identifying an event and inaccessible roads caused by the event, may update the directed graph based on the event data to generate an updated directed graph, and may provide a representation of the updated directed graph for display.

  • Patent number: 11254986
    Abstract: An immune response subtype of cancer is associated with DNA damage which allows subjects to be stratified for particular therapies including immune therapies which may be combined with DNA damage therapeutics. A method for predicting responsiveness to an antagonist of an inhibitory immune checkpoint and/or an agonist of a stimulatory immune checkpoint comprises determining the expression level of at least one gene selected from Table 2B, 2A or 1 in a sample from the subject. The determined expression level is used to predict responsiveness to an antagonist of an inhibitory immune checkpoint and/or an agonist of a stimulatory immune checkpoint.

  • Publication number: 20210254166
    Abstract: Methods for characterising and/or prognosing cancer in a subject comprise determining the expression level of at least one, and preferably 12, genes selected from Table 1 in a sample from the subject wherein the determined expression level is used to provide a characterisation of and/or a prognosis for the cancer. Determined expression levels are used to generate a signature score. The methods permit metastatic disease to be identified and monitored and guide therapeutic interventions.

  • Patent number: 11091809
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the identification of a molecular diagnostic test for cancer. The test identifies cancer subtypes that have an up-regulation or a down-regulation in biomarker expression related to angiogenesis and vascular development. The present invention can be used to determine whether patients with cancer are clinically responsive or non-responsive to a therapeutic regimen prior to administration of any anti-angiogenic agent. This test may be used in different cancer types and with different drugs that directly or indirectly affect angiogenesis or angiogenesis signalling. In addition, the present invention may be used as a prognostic indicator for certain cancer types. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of certain combinations of predictive markers, wherein the expression of the predictive markers correlates with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen.

  • Patent number: 10378066
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the identification of a molecular diagnostic test for cancer. The test defines a novel DNA damage repair deficient molecular subtype and enables classification of a patient within this subtype. The present invention can be used to determine whether patients with cancer are clinically responsive or non-responsive to a therapeutic regimen prior to administration of any chemotherapy. This test may be used in different cancer types and with different drugs that directly or indirectly affect DNA damage or repair, such as many of the standard cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs currently in use. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of certain combinations of predictive markers, wherein the expression of the predictive markers correlates with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen.

  • Patent number: 10280468
    Abstract: Methods for selecting whether to administer an anti-angiogenic therapeutic agent to a subject include steps of measuring the expression levels of one or more biomarkers selected from Table 2 or Table 3 in a sample from the subject; assessing from the expression levels of the one or more biomarkers whether the sample from the subject is positive or negative for a biomarker signature, wherein if the sample is positive for the biomarker signature an anti-angiogenic therapeutic agent is contraindicated. Related prognostic methods and treatment methods are also provided. The invention is particularly applicable in ovarian and colorectal cancers.
