Publication number: 20220054496Abstract: The invention provides TRF1 inhibitors and compositions comprising them for the treatment of a brain cancer, such as a glioblastoma, and particularly a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). PI3K inhibitors can be among the TRF1 inhibitors used. The compositions can comprise more than one TRF1 inhibitor, being particularly advantageous that at least one of the inhibitors is a PI3K inhibitor and that at least a second possible TRF1 inhibitor present is selected from the group an RTK inhibitor, a MEK inhibitor, an ERK inhibitor, an HSP90 inhibitor, docetaxel and gemcitabine, because such compositions show a synergic effect. The invention also relates to a method for identifying compounds candidates to be used for treating glioblastoma or other cancers, which method is based on the identification of the compound as a TRF1 inhibitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2018Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Maria Antonia BLASCO MARHUENDA, Joaquin Angel PASTOR FERNANDEZ, Leire BEJARANO BOSQUE, Marinela MENDEZ PERTUZ, Paula MARTINEZ RODRIGUEZ, Carmen BLANCO-APARICIO, Elena GOMEZ-CASERO ESTEBAN, Maria GARCIA-BECCARIA

Patent number: 11055673Abstract: A network operator intermediates a cashless transaction by sending a payment device issuer an outbound clearing data file enriched with cleansed merchant data. Issuers that choose to participate in the merchant data cleansing service will be provided with the cleansed, and optionally augmented, merchant information. Providing this data to the issuer could be used to help reduce costs associated with “do not recognize” calls by cardholders, disputed charges, and charge-backs. With cleansed data provided in the clearing record, a device holder would be given access to this cleansed information about the merchant where a transaction took place through their statement. The present disclosure also provides for augmenting the clearing record data to include merchant-specific add-on and/or aggregate data not presently included in the transaction clearing record, yet useful to the issuer both in form and content.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Bruce William Mac Nair, Ana Paula Martinez Prada Peyser, Cristobel Kay von Walstrom, Gary Randall Horn, Jason Alexander Korosec, Kimberly Ann Martin, Peter Julian Ramon Antonio R.

Publication number: 20080015991Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a system and method for distributing an open transaction instrument. The system includes the steps of: accessibly offering for sale, in a retail environment, the open transaction instrument; selling a selected open transaction instrument; and enabling the use of the open transaction instrument. The transaction instrument may be, for example, an open pre-paid card. Furthermore, accessibly offering the open pre-paid card for sale, in one exemplary embodiment, is performed by hanging the pre-paid card on a rack. The distribution of the open transaction instrument may also comprise the step of sending a message, in substantially real time, causing the pre-paid open transaction instrument to be funded but not activated. Also, in accordance with further exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an issuer system is suitably configured to leverage existing infrastructure for inventory and related processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Applicant: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Randy Beck, Gennye Feldman, Rachel Heitz, Jon Imada, Paula Martinez, Sven Miller, Clyde Page, Steven Keiser
