  • Patent number: 11761963
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating cancer in a patient who has been determined to have positive expression of CD200 receptor (CD200R1) and one or more biomarkers (i.e., ICOS, TIGIT, TNFRSF9, HAVCR2, PDCD1, FCGR2A, FCGR1A, CD163, and/or CD14) by administering to the patient a CD200 inhibitor. Also provided are methods for monitoring responsiveness of a patient having cancer to treatment with a CD200 inhibitor, the method comprising: determining expression levels of CD200R1 and one or more biomarkers (i.e., ICOS, TIGIT, TNFRSF9, HAVCR2, PDCD1, FCGR2A, FCGR1A, CD163, and/or CD14) in a biological sample from the patient, wherein increased expression levels of CD200R1 and the one or more biomarkers, as compared to expression levels in a biological sample of the same type obtained from the subject prior to treatment with the CD200 inhibitor, indicates that the subject is responsive to treatment with the CD200 inhibitor.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023
    Assignee: Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20150118244
    Abstract: Provided herein are prognostic and diagnostic methods and kits for use with the methods. For example, provided herein are methods for determining whether a subject having cancer will respond to a cancer treatment. For example, provided herein are methods for determining whether a subject having advanced melanoma will respond to a treatment with ipilimumab. Methods for determining the length of survival of cancer patients, e.g., melanoma patients, such as melanoma patients treated with ipilimumab, are also provided herein.

  • Publication number: 20060111915
    Abstract: A hypothesis generation system includes a related concepts datastore recording relationships between core concepts in a field of study. A recognition module performs automatic recognition of a hypothesis recognition pattern respective of contents of the related concepts datastore. The recognition module records a hypothetical relationship between core concepts of the datastore based on recognition of the pattern.
