A method is provided for selecting a subject diagnosed with cancer as a candidate for treatment with a PARP1 inhibitor, or both a PARP1 inhibitor and a chemotherapeutic agent such as an alkylating agent. The method includes detecting the presence or absence of a mutation in a non-coding region of a PARP1 gene, wherein the presence of a mutation in the PARP1 gene indicates that the cancer can be treated with the PARP1 inhibitor, optionally in conjunction with the chemotherapeutic agent. In a specific, non-limiting example, the PARP1 inhibitor is verliparib (ABT-888).
本发明提供了一种方法,用于选择诊断为癌症的受试者作为 PARP1
抑制剂或 PARP1
抑制剂和化疗剂(如烷化剂)的候选治疗对象。该方法包括检测 PARP1
基因非编码区中是否存在突变,其中 PARP1
基因中突变的存在表明癌症可以用 PARP1
抑制剂治疗,可以选择与化疗剂一起使用。在一个具体的、非限制性的例子中,PARP1
抑制剂是 verliPARib(
ABT-888)。
