Publication number: 20240117073Abstract: The present invention relates to specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to amplified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and to the de2-7 EGFR truncation of the EGFR. In particular, the epitope recognized by the specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, is enhanced or evident upon aberrant post-translational modification. These specific binding members are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The binding members of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Lloyd J. Old, Terrance Grant Johns, Con Panousis, Andrew M. Scott, Christoph Renner, Gerd Ritter, Achim Jungbluth, Elisabeth Stockert, Vincent Peter Collins, Webster K. Cavenee, Huei-Jen Su Huang, Antony Wilks Burgess, Edouard C. Nice, Anne Murray, George Mark

Publication number: 20220401146Abstract: Provided herein are systems for treating tissue of a patient. The system comprises an energy delivery console and at least one energy delivery device. The energy delivery console can provide a first dose of energy and a second dose of energy. An energy delivery device comprises a first delivery element configured to deliver the first dose of energy to target tissue, and a second delivery element configured to deliver the second dose of energy to the target tissue. The first dose of energy can comprise a delivery of energy that reversibly alters the target tissue, and the second dose of energy can comprise a delivery of energy that irreversibly alters the target tissue. The first dose of energy can be delivered to enhance a therapy provided by the second dose of energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2020Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Alexander J. Asconeguy, Shibaji Shome, Ahmad Falahatpisheh, Timothy J. Corvi, Derrick Ren-yu Chou, Jeffrey St. Onge, Vincent J. Burgess, R. Maxwell Flaherty, J. Christopher Flaherty

Patent number: 8298147Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for creating, in a coordinated manner, graphical images of a body including vascular features from a combination of image data sources. The method includes initially creating an angiographic image of a vessel segment. The angiographic image is, for example, either a two or three dimensional image representation. Next, a vessel image data set is acquired that is distinct from the angiographic image data. The vessel image data set comprises information acquired at a series of positions along the vessel segment. An example of such vessel image data is a set of intravascular ultrasound frames corresponding to circumferential cross-section slices taken at various positions along the vessel segment. The angiographic image and the vessel image data set are correlated by comparing a characteristic rendered independently from both the angiographic image and the vessel image data at positions along the vessel segment.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Volcano CorporationInventors: Richard Scott Huennekens, Vincent J. Burgess, Marja Pauliina Margolis, Blair D. Walker, Jon D. Klingensmith, Nancy Perry Pool, Randall Kent Hanson

Patent number: 7930014Abstract: A system and method for providing a vascular image are disclosed wherein a single composite display simultaneously provides a first view of a patient including an angiogram image and a second view including an intravascular image rendered from information provided by an imaging probe mounted on a distal end of a flexible elongate member. A cursor, having a position derived from image information provided by a radiopaque marker proximate the imaging probe, is displayed within the angiogram image to correlate the position of the imaging probe to a presently displayed intravascular image and thus provide an easily discernable identification of a position within a patient corresponding to a currently displayed intravascular image. The resulting composite display simultaneously provides: an intravascular image that includes information about a vessel that is not available from an angiogram and a current location within a vessel of a source of intravascular image data from which the intravascular image is rendered.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2006Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Volcano CorporationInventors: R. Scott Huennekens, Stephen M. Fry, Blair D. Walker, Jon D. Klingensmith, Nancy Perry Pool, Vincent J. Burgess, William R. Kanz

Publication number: 20110077528Abstract: A method and apparatus for simultaneous hemoglobin reflectivity measurement and OCT measurement, thrombus detection and treatment, and OCT flushing. A first optical energy for OCT and a second optical energy for hemoglobin may be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2010Publication date: March 31, 2011Applicant: Volcano CoprorationInventors: Nathaniel J. Kemp, Thomas E. Milner, Christopher E. Banas, Vincent J. Burgess, Paulina M. Margolis

Patent number: 7627156Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for automatically classifying plaque lesions. A plaque classification application applies a plaque classification criterion to at least one graphical image, comprising a map of spectrally-analyzed characterized tissue of a vessel cross-section, to render an overall plaque classification for the slice or set of slices, covering a 3D volume. The plaque classification is based upon the amount and location of each characterized tissue type (e.g., necrotic core—NC). In an exemplary embodiment the set of potential plaque classifications, not to be confused with characterized tissue types—from which the plaque classifications are derived—include, for example: adaptive intimal thickening (AIT), pathological intimal thickening (PIT), fibroatheroma (FA), thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA), and fibro-calcific (FC).Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Volcano CorporationInventors: Marja Pauliina Margolis, D. Geoffrey Vince, Anuja Nair, Vincent J. Burgess

Patent number: 5554112Abstract: An irrigator/aspirator surgical probe for laparoscopic surgery includes a rotatable handle assembly and a probe assembly having an electrosurgical electrode. The handle assembly has two valves, one for controlling the flow of irrigation fluid and one for controlling the flow of aspiration fluid. One of the valves can be locked at any selected setting with a locking lever. Fine adjustment of the valve is achieved in the locked position. The handle assembly further includes a valve body and valve members which are easily removable and disposable. The valve members in the valve body are made of an elastomeric material to provide effective sealing and inherent self return. The probe assembly can be rotated relative to the handle assembly as needed to reduce operator fatigue. The probe can be rotated in the probe assembly to position the electrode.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1994Date of Patent: September 10, 1996Assignee: Birtcher Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Harold J. Walbrink, Roger F. Etherington, Charles E. Beuchat, Vincent J. Burgess, Kent D. Richards
