Patent number: 11594403Abstract: A method of predicting whether an MDS patient has a good or poor prognosis uses a general purpose computer configured as a classifier and mass-spectrometry data obtained from a blood-based sample. The classifier assigns a classification label of either Early or Late (or the equivalent) to the patient's sample. Patients classified as Early are predicted to have a poor prognosis or worse survival whereas those patients classified as Late are predicted to have a relatively better prognosis and longer survival time. The groupings demonstrated a large effect size between groups in Kaplan-Meier analysis of survival. Most importantly, while the classifications generated were correlated with other prognostic factors, such as IPSS score and genetic category, multivariate and subgroup analysis showed that they had significant independent prognostic power complementary to the existing prognostic factors.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: BIODESIX INC.Inventors: Arni Steingrimsson, Heinrich Röder, Joanna Röder

Patent number: 9464326Abstract: Toll-like receptors (TLR) are expressed by a variety of cancers, including melanoma and T-ALL. TLR signaling plays an important role in T cell malignancies and melanoma. The effects of stimulating or inhibiting the TLR/IL-1 receptor-associated kinases IRAK-1 and IRAK-4 in melanoma and T-ALL cells were evaluated. Pharmacological treatment with an IRAK-1,-4 inhibitor delays tumor growth and prolongs survival in vitro and in vivo, indicating that TLR signaling contributes to T-ALL and melanoma progression and interfering with this signaling is a novel therapeutic strategy to control T-ALL and melanoma proliferation.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: University of Maryland, BaltimoreInventor: Eduardo Davila
