  • Patent number: 11045489
    Abstract: Described herein are methods for determining the prognosis of a patient diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), and particularly determining the risk of disease relapse following standard treatment. Also described are systems of treatment that are directed by a health care provider, and which include the described prognostic methods and the treatments recommended for patients determined to have a specific relapse risk.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210180138
    Abstract: Described herein is the correlation between miR-451 expression and the increased benefit of a treatment modality of solid tumors that effects miR-451 modulated metabolic pathways. Such modalities include NAMPT inhibitors and/or PARP inhibitors. Also described herein are methods for treatment of solid tumors that include determining whether treatment of the tumor would benefit from inhibition of NAMPT and/or PARP and if so, treating the patient afflicted with the tumor with NAMPT and/or PARP inhibitors.

  • Patent number: 10557173
    Abstract: The present invention relates to prognostic methods and kits for the assessment and monitoring of relapse-free or disease-free survival of ALL patients. The detection is based on the use of detecting nucleic acids, specific for determination of the expression of at least one of miR-151-5p and miR-451 in a test sample. The invention thereby also provides methods and kits for monitoring and early diagnosis of cancerous disorders associated with low miR-151-5p and/or miR-451 expression, specifically ALL, and appropriate associated treatments thereof.

  • Publication number: 20190167711
    Abstract: Provided herein is the use of miR-451 as a biomarker in prognosis of anti-ALL treatment modalities, in early diagnosis of ALL relapse risk, and/or in identifying an ALL patient that can benefit from a treatment modality that affects one or more miR-451-related metabolic pathways.

  • Publication number: 20180179596
    Abstract: Described herein are methods of cancer diagnosis through monitoring the presence and activity of the KANSL1 gene, and particularly the effects of KANSL1 overexpression on specific histone acetylation. Cancer treatment with histone acetyltransferase inhibitors and deacetylase agents is also described.
