Summary for Patent: 10,442,862
Title: | Use of EGFR biomarkers for the treatment of gastric cancer with anti-EGFR agents |
Abstract: | The present invention relates to methods for treating gastric neoplasias, in particular treating patients who have been previously determined to have an EGFR biomarker. Gastric carcinoma (GC) is one of the most common and deadest cancers with -1 million diagnoses and -0.7 million deaths each year worldwide, with high incidence in Eastern Asia. |

Patent Litigation and PTAB cases: | See patent lawsuits and PTAB cases for patent 10,442,862 |
Patent Claims: | 1. A method for treating gastric neoplasia consisting of administering to a patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of cetuximab, wherein the patient has been
determined to have an EGFR gene copy number biomarker in a tumor tissue obtained from the patient before the treatment, and wherein the patient is expected to be more responsive to the treatment compared to patients not having the EGFR gene copy number
biomarker, wherein the EGFR gene copy number biomarker is selected from the group consisting of (1) an EGFR gene copy number of at least 7 as determined by Affymetrix genome-wide human SNP6.0 array and PICNIC (Predicting Integral Copy Numbers In Cancer)
algorithm, (2) an EGFR gene copy number of at least 4 as determined by realtime quantitative PCR, and (3) an EGFR gene copy number of at least 2.8 as determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the gastric neoplasia is gastric adenocarcinoma. 3. A method for treating gastric neoplasia consisting of administering to a patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of cetuximab, wherein the patient has been determined to have an EGFR overexpression biomarker in a tumor tissue obtained from the patient before the treatment, wherein the patient is expected to be more responsive to the treatment compared to patients not having the EGFR overexpression biomarker, wherein the EGFR overexpression biomarker is selected from the group consisting of (1) an EGFR mRNA level of at least 5.0 as measured by Affymetrix GeneChip HG-U219, (2) a relative EGFR gene expression level of at least 0.5 as measured by quantitative RT-PCR, and (3) an EGFR protein level of at least 3 as measured by immunohistorchemical (IHC) analysis. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the EGFR gene copy number is determined by a hybridization assay. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the patient has been determined not to have a HER2 biomarker. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the patient has been determined not to have a HER2 biomarker. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the tumor tissue is a tissue extract sample or a biopsy sample. 8. The method of claim 3, wherein the tumor tissue is a tissue extract sample or a biopsy sample. |
