  • Publication number: 20120141472
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of predicting prognosis of a neoplastic disease (such as lung cancer, for example NSCLC), including determining the IGF1R gene copy number in a biological sample from a patient having a neoplastic disease; wherein an increase in IGF1R copy number predicts a good prognosis of the neoplastic disease in the patient. Also disclosed herein are methods of scoring copy number of a gene of interest in a biological sample. The method includes identifying individual cells in the sample having highest number of signals for the gene of interest detected by in situ hybridization, counting the number of signals for the gene of interest in the identified individual cells and determining an average number of signals per cell.

  • Publication number: 20120129851
    Abstract: The present application provides novel substituted quinazoline and pyrido-pyrimidine compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also provided are methods for preparing these compounds. These compounds are useful in co-regulating PI3K and/or mTOR activity by administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the compounds to a patient. By doing so, these compounds are effective in treating conditions associated with the dysregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Advantageously, these compounds perform as dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors. A variety of conditions can be treated using these compounds and include diseases which are characterized by inflammation or abnormal cellular proliferation. In one embodiment, the disease is cancer.
