The invention provides methods, kits and compounds for determining the potential responsiveness of a subject suffering from a pathological disorder, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), to treatment with an epothilone by analyzing the gene expression profile and/or certain molecular markers in a sample obtained from said subject. The invention further relates to methods, compounds and uses of said compounds for treating subjects suffering from said pathologic disorder, optionally in combination with other therapeutic agents. Also provided are genes and/or proteins encoded by them whose expression level have been determined to differ between epothilone responders and epothilone non-responders.
该发明提供了用于确定患有病理性疾病(包括非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC))的受试者对依托泊苷治疗的潜在反应性的方法、试剂盒和化合物,包括通过分析从该受试者获得的样本中的基因表达谱和/或某些分子标记来进行。该发明还涉及用于治疗患有该病理性疾病的受试者的方法、化合物和使用该化合物,可选择与其他治疗剂联合使用。还提供了由它们编码的基因和/或蛋白质,其表达水平已确定在依托泊苷反应者和依托泊苷非反应者之间存在差异。
