  • Patent number: 11925638
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition is suitable for treating AXL-related cancer. The cancer can be cancer with high expression of AXL. The cancer can also be cancer which has acquired resistance by the activation of AXL against therapy with an anticancer agent. Specific diamino heterocyclic carboxamide compounds have an AXL inhibitory action, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds as an active ingredient have a therapeutic effect on AXL-related cancer. This AXL-related cancer can be cancer with high expression of AXL and/or cancer which has acquired resistance by the activation of AXL against therapy with an anticancer agent.

  • Publication number: 20090081645
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a gene for assuming drug sensitivity, which is to be used for assuming the drug sensitivity to a CDK4 inhibitor based on the expression amount in a test tissue or a test cell, selected from the group consisting of p16 gene, p18 gene and p27 gene. It is also intended to provide a method of assuming the drug sensitivity to a CDK4 inhibitor by using the expression amount of the above gene in a test tissue or a test cell as an indication.
