Novel Compositions And Methods For The Identification, Assessment, Prevention, And Therapy Of Human Cancers

US Patent:
2007019, Aug 16, 2007
Filed:
Dec 6, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/634620
Inventors:
Natalia Iartchouk - Wayland MA, US
Mark Ayers - Pennington NJ, US
Jeffrey Brown - Arlington MA, US
Robert Bast - Houston TX, US
Karen Lu - Houston TX, US
Gordon Mills - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
MILLENNIUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. - Cambridge MA
Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68, G01N 33/574, C12N 5/06, C07K 16/30
US Classification:
435006000, 435007230, 435338000, 530388800
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to the identification of markers that can be used to determine whether tumors are sensitive or resistant to a therapeutic agent. The present invention is also directed to the identification of therapeutic targets. The invention features a number of “sensitivity markers.” These are markers that are expressed in most or all cell lines that are sensitive to treatment with an agent and which are not expressed (or are expressed at a rather low level) in cells that are resistant to treatment with that agent. The invention also features a number of “resistance markers.” These are markers that are expressed in most or all cell lines that are resistant to treatment with an agent and which are not expressed (or are expressed at a rather low level) in cells that are sensitive to treatment with that agent.

Biomarkers For The Detection Of Early Stage Ovarian Cancer

US Patent:
2014003, Feb 6, 2014
Filed:
Jun 3, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/909022
Inventors:
Robert Bast - Houston TX, US
Kevin Coombes - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
Vermillion, Inc. - Austin TX
International Classification:
G01N 33/574
US Classification:
506 9, 506 12, 506 18, 506 16
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for detecting early stage ovarian cancer in a patient. Also, methods for evaluating the ovarian cancer state of a patient are described herein. These methods involve the detection, analysis, and classification of biomarkers in biological samples.

Biomaker For Ovarian And Endometrial Cancer: Hepcidin

US Patent:
2010006, Mar 18, 2010
Filed:
Mar 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/381218
Inventors:
Eric T. Fung - Los Altos CA, US
Robert Bast - Houston TX, US
Daniel W. Chan - Clarksville MD, US
Jin Song - Baltimore MD, US
Valdimir Podust - Fremont CA, US
Zhen Zhang - Dayton MD, US
Assignee:
Vermilllion, Inc. - Fremont CA
The Johns Hopkins University - Baltimore MD
Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
International Classification:
G01N 33/53, G01N 33/543
US Classification:
435 71, 436518
Abstract:
The present invention provides protein-based biomarkers and biomarker combinations that are useful in qualifying ovarian cancer status as well as endometrical cancer status in a patient. In particular, it has been found that hepcidin is a biomarker for both ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer and that a panel of biomarkers, including hepcidin, transthyretin and optionally other markers are useful to classify a subject sample as ovarian cancer or non-ovarian cancer. The biomarkers can be detected by SELDI mass spectrometry.
