53 results about "Antiangiogenic therapy" patented technology

Antiangiogenic therapy is a treatment option for metastatic kidney cancer. These are a group of drugs which slow down tumour growth or possibly even shrink the tumour. They prevent the formation of new blood vessels which feed the cancer and allow it to grow.

Detecting mutations for cancer screening and fetal analysis

Embodiments are related to the accurate detection of somatic mutations in the plasma (or other samples containing cell-free DNA) of cancer patients and for subjects being screened for cancer. The detection of these molecular markers would be useful for the screening, detection, monitoring, management, and prognostication of cancer patients. For example, a mutational load can be determined from the identified somatic mutations, and the mutational load can be used to screen for any or various types of cancers, where no prior knowledge about a tumor or possible cancer of the subject may be required. Embodiments can be useful for guiding the use of therapies (e.g. targeted therapy, immunotherapy, genome editing, surgery, chemotherapy, embolization therapy, anti-angiogenesis therapy) for cancers. Embodiments are also directed to identifying de novo mutations in a fetus by analyzing a maternal sample having cell-free DNA from the fetus.

Molecular Diagnostic Test for Cancer

Methods and compositions are provided for the identification of a molecular diagnostic test for cancer. The test identifies cancer subtypes that are responsive to anti-angiogenesis therapeutics and enables classification of a patient within this subtype. The present invention can be used to determine whether patients with cancer are clinically responsive or non-responsive to a therapeutic regimen prior to administration of any anti-angiogenic agent. This test may be used in different cancer types and with different drugs that directly or indirectly affect angiogenesis or angiogenesis signalling. In addition, the present invention may be used as a prognostic indicator for certain cancer types. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of certain combinations of predictive markers, wherein the expression of the predictive markers correlates with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen.

Endothelial cell expression patterns

To gain a better understanding of tumor angiogenesis, new techniques for isolating endothelial cells (ECs) and evaluating gene expression patterns were developed. When transcripts from ECs derived from normal and malignant colorectal tissues were compared with transcripts from non-endothelial cells, over 170 genes predominantly expressed in the endothelium were identified. Comparison between normal- and tumor-derived endothelium revealed 79 differentially expressed genes, including 46 that were specifically elevated in tumor-associated endothelium. Experiments with representative genes from this group demonstrated that most were similarly expressed in the endothelium of primary lung, breast, brain, and pancreatic cancers as well as in metastatic lesions of the liver. These results demonstrate that neoplastic and normal endothelium in humans are distinct at the molecular level, and have significant implications for the development of anti-angiogenic therapies in the future.

Methods, compositions and kits are provided for assessing angiogenesis through sensitive, direct detection of activation of endothelial cells at molecular levels. In general, activation of endothelial cells is detected by measuring the levels of cellular components and their protein complexes participating in a specific angiogenesis signaling pathway in endothelial cells. The methods can be used for assessing status of diseases associated with undesirable angiogenesis, such as the likelihood of developing the disease, presence or absence of the disease, prognosis of the disease and the likelihood of response or resistance to a particular anti-angiogenic therapy. The methods can also be used to guide the design of effective therapeutic regimens targeting a specific angiogenic signaling pathway, as well as in conjunction with therapeutic intervention of diseases or conditions associated with undesirable angiogenesis.

In-vivo monitoring of circulating apoptotic cells

The present invention provides methods and systems for performing in vivo flow cytometry. In one embodiments, selected circulating cells of interest of a subject are labeled with fluorescent probe molecules. The labeled cells are irradiated in-vivo so as to excite the fluorescent probes, and the radiation emitted by the excited probes is detected, preferably confocally. The detected radiation is then analyzed to derive desired information, such as relative cell count, of the cells of interest. In some embodiments, the circulating cells comprise apoptotic cells whose detection can allow, e.g., non-invasive monitoring of the efficacy of a cancer treatment, such as an anti-tumor or an anti-angiogenic therapy.

Methods for controlling pathological angiogenesis by inhibition of a6b4 integrin

It has now been determined that α6β4 integrin is a pro-angiogenic receptor, and thus that it provides a novel and heretofore unrecognized target for anti-angiogenic therapy. Thus, angiogenesis, particularly pathological angiogenesis, can be inhibited, and conditions with which pathological angiogenesis is associated treated using inhibitors of α6β4 integrin. A tissue in which angiogenesis is to be inhibited is exposed to a therapeutic agent effective to reduce the amount of active α6β4 integrin in the tissue. The tissue may be within a patient, and in particular a human patient to be treated for a disease condition with which pathological angiogenesis is associated. The therapeutic agent may be an antibody or a small molecule, for example a laminin-5 analog, which binds to α6β4 integrin and inhibits its normal function. The therapeutic agent may also be a chemical species that interferes with the production of α6β4 integrin, including for example an antisense or RNAi species.

Vaccine based on simulating human blood vessel endothelial cell growth factor VEGF epitope and preparation method thereof

The invention provides a vaccine based on an epitope simulating human vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF, as well as a preparation method thereof. A VEGF mimic epitope which is specifically affinitive with human-mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody Avastin is screened out by use of a phage random presentation technique, and the amino acid sequence of the mimic epitope is Asp-His-Thr-Leu-Tyr-Thr-Pro-Tyr-His-Thr-His-Pro; the mimic epitope has no homology with the protein sequence of VEGF. A vaccine which can induce a polypeptide epitope aiming at VEGF molecular autoantibody in vivo is constructed on the basis of the mimic epitope. The invention provides a strategy for developing and designing the tumor therapeutic vaccine, which is targeted at the VEGF. The VEGF is one of molecules which has the strongest effect of promoting vascular growth, and is an ideal target for resisting angiogenesis and treating tumors. Therefore, the vaccine replaces or replenishes monoclonal antibody passive immunotherapy with an active immunity mode, so as to lay foundations for overcoming the defects of monoclonal antibody therapy.
