This invention relates to a method of treating cancer in a human in need thereof by determining the presence or absence of a detectable amount of a gene product of the Neurofibromin-2 (NF2) gene in a sample from the human, and administering to the human an effective amount of a focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, if no gene product or no isoform 1 gene product is detected. This invention also relates to a method of treating cancer in a human in need thereof, comprising determining the presence or absence of a detectable amount of a functional isoform 1 protein of the NF2 gene, or a functional fragment thereof, in a sample from the human, and administering to the human an effective amount of a focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, if no gene product or no isoform 1 gene product is detected.
本发明涉及一种治疗人类癌症的方法,该方法通过确定来自人体样本中神经纤维瘤素-2(NF2)基因的基因产物的可检测量的存在或不存在,并在未检测到基因产物或未检测到1号同工型基因产物的情况下向人体施用有效量的聚焦粘着激酶(FAK)抑制剂或其药学上可接受的盐。本发明还涉及一种治疗人类癌症的方法,该方法包括确定来自人体样本中NF2基因的功能性1号同工型蛋白或其功能性片段的可检测量的存在或不存在,并在未检测到基因产物或未检测到1号同工型基因产物的情况下向人体施用有效量的聚焦粘着激酶(FAK)抑制剂或其药学上可接受的盐。
