Filed:
Oct 20, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/278101
Inventors:
Heinz-Josef Lenz - Los Angeles CA, US

Ercc-1 Gene Expression Predicts Chemotherapy Outcome

US Patent:
2011010, May 5, 2011
Filed:
May 14, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/992583
Inventors:
Heinz-Josef Lenz - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
A61K 31/519, C12Q 1/68, G01N 33/574, C40B 30/04, A61P 35/00
US Classification:
51425505, 435 6, 435 723, 506 9
Abstract:
The invention provides compositions and methods for determining the likelihood of successful treatment with a first line FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen or in further combination with PTK/ZK. The methods comprise determining the gene expression levels of a gene of interest and correlating the high or low expression to the predictive response. Patients identified as responsive are then treated with the appropriate therapy.

Genetic Markers For Predicting Responsiveness To Combination Therapy

US Patent:
8357369, Jan 22, 2013
Filed:
Sep 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/249148
Inventors:
Heinz-Josef Lenz - Los Angeles CA, US
Assignee:
University of Southern California - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
A61K 39/395
US Classification:
4241411, 435 614, 435 723
Abstract:
The invention provides compositions and methods for determining the likelihood of successful treatment with an effective amount of an anti-VEGF antibody or equivalent thereof, in combination with anti-EGFR antibody or equivalent thereof, and, in some aspects in combination with a topoisomerase inhibitor. The methods comprise determining the identity of a gene of interest in a patient sample and correlating the patient's genotype with the predictive response. Patients identified as responsive are then treated with the appropriate therapy.

Filed:
Jun 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/996676
Inventors:
Heinz-Josef Lenz - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68, A61K 31/513, A61K 31/519, A61P 35/00
US Classification:
514249, 435 611, 514274
Abstract:
The invention provides compositions and methods for determining the likelihood of tumor recurrence following treatment with 5-FU based adjuvant therapy for Stage II or Stage III colon cancer patients. After determining if a patient is less likely to experience tumor recurrence once treated, the invention also provides methods for treating these patients.
