AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method to identify specific factors in a cancer patient that can affect the effectiveness of treatment. These factors are produced by the patient's cells in response to the treatment, and can help predict how well the treatment will work for the patient. These factors can include proteins, growth factors, and other molecules released by the patient's cells. Determining these factors can help personalize treatment for cancer patients.

Problems solved by technology

These factors are Specific Host-Driven Resistance Factors, namely, they are not generated by intrinsic resistance of the cancer cells, but are driven by the host, i.e., the cancer patient, in response to said determined cancer therapy, and may limit or counteract the effectiveness of the treatment with the cancer therapy modality / drugs applied to said patient.

t of Chemotherapy on Circulating Pro-Tumorigenic Factors—a Protein Profiling Approach in Humans

[0126]The aim is to define a profile of circulating factors indicative of a pro-tumorigenic host response to chemotherapy in human cancer patients.

[0127]A total of 16 breast and 19 colorectal cancer patients were recruited to this study. All breast cancer patients received Adriamycin / Cyclophosphamide (AC) chemotherapy, and all colorectal cancer patients received Folinic acid / Fluorouracil / Oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) chemotherapy according to standard regimens at HaEmek Medical Center, Afula, Israel. Blood samples were drawn (into EDTA tubes) from the patients at 2 time points: i) before receiving the first dose of chemotherapy (baseline); ii) 24 hours after receiving the first dose of chemotherapy (post-treatment). Plasma samples were prepared from whole blood by centrifugation at 1300 g for 10 min at room temperature. Supernatants (representing the plasma samples) were collected and stored at −80...

t of Chemotherapy on Circulating Host-Derived Pro-Tumorigenic Factors—a Protein Profiling Approach in Mice

[0129]To identify host-derived circulating factors whose levels change in response to chemotherapy, we performed protein array-based screens using plasma from naïve (non-tumor bearing) mice that were treated with different chemotherapy types. The use of naïve mice allows us to identify factors specifically generated by the host in response to chemotherapy, independent of tumor presence. To this end, naïve (non-tumor bearing) 8-10 week old female BALB / c mice (n=5) were treated with either FOLFOX (14 mg / kg oxaliplatin (Medac Pharma, Chicago, Ill., US); 50 mg / kg 5-fluorouracil (Ebewe Pharma, Vienna, Austria); 30 mg / kg folinic acid / leucovorin (ABIC, Israel)) or paclitaxel (BioAvenir Ltd., Israel; 25 mg / kg) chemotherapy administered as a single bolus intraperitoneal injection. Control mice (n=5) were injected with vehicle control. Twenty-four hours after treatment administration, mic...

t of Bortezomib on Circulating Host-Derived Pro-Tumorigenic Factors—a Protein Profiling Approach in Mice

[0130]The molecularly targeted drug, bortezomib (Velcade), is a proteasome inhibitor used for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. To identify host-derived circulating factors whose levels change in response to bortezomib, we performed a protein array-based screen using plasma from naïve (non-tumor bearing) mice that were treated with bortezomib. The use of naïve mice allows us to identify factors specifically generated by the host in response to bortezomib, independent of tumor presence.

[0131]Naïve (non-tumor bearing) 8-10 week old female BALB / c mice (n=5) were intravenously injected with 1 mg / kg bortezomib (Selleckchem, Houston, Tex., US). Control mice (n=5) were injected with vehicle control. Twenty-four hours after treatment administration, mice were sacrificed, and blood was collected into EDTA-coated tubes by cardiac puncture. Plasma was isolated by ce...

Abstract

A method and a kit are provided for predicting a favorable or a non-favorable response of a cancer patient to treatment with a cancer therapy by determining in a biological sample obtained from the cancer patient, before and after the treatment, the changes of the levels of factors / biomarkers generated by the cancer patient in response to said treatment, and a method for treatment of a cancer patient.
