Abstract: This invention relates to a method for diagnosing and/or prognosticating HER2-dependent cancer in a subject, comprising a) measuring the amount of moesin in a sample from the subject; b) comparing the amount of moesin measured in step a) to a reference value; c) finding a deviation or no deviation of the amount of moesin measured in step a) from the reference value; and d) attributing said finding of deviation or no deviation to a particular diagnosis and/or prognosis of HER2-dependent cancer in the subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the following general formula (I) or (II): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or solvate thereof, for use in the treatment and/or in the prevention of ErbB2 dependent cancers, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.

Abstract: The present invention provides a phenothiazine derivative of formula (I) for use in preventing and/or treating infection caused by bacteria carrying Type IV pili, such as N. meningitidis, and more specifically for use in preventing and/or treating meningitis. The present invention further relates to a composition for the use in preventing and/or treating infection caused by bacteria carrying Type IV pili, such as purpura fulminans and meningitis, comprising a phenothiazine derivative of formula (I) and an antibiotic selected from the group consisting of beta-lactams and aminoglycosides, and/or dexamethasone.

Abstract: The present invention provides aphenothiazine derivative for use in preventing and/or treating infectious purpura or purpura fulminans, wherein infection is caused by a bacterium. The present invention further relates to a composition for the use in preventing and/or treating infectious purpura or purpura fulminans comprising a phenothiazine derivative and an antibiotic selected in the group consisting of beta-lactams, aminoglycosides or dexamethasone.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of an inhibitor of an interaction between between type IV pilus-associated protein and CD147 for preventing or treating meningoccal bacteraemia and/or infection. The present invention also relates to the combined use of such inhibitor and of an anti-bacterial compound, such as one used to prevent or treat a meningococcal infection. The invention also relates to a method for the prevention and/or treatment of meningococcal bacteraemia and/or infection, and to a method for screening inhibitors of the interaction between type IV pilus-associated protein and CD147.
