CA 2741087

The present invention relates to, for example, (1) a novel method for identification of clinically useful serum and/or tumor biomarkers and expression signatures that can be used for detection, prognostication and guidance for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); and (2) discovery of an expression signature that can be used to monitor and/or study the efficacy of a chemotherapeutic regimen, such as, for example, sorafenib (solely or in combination with other agents). The present invention also provides a method for predicting clinical outcomes, such as, for example, overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP) and/or likelihood of benefitting from a chemotherapeutic treatment (i.e., sorafenib) in HCC patients based on the analysis of such biomarkers.

La présente invention porte, par exemple, sur (1) un nouveau procédé d'identification d'un sérum cliniquement utile et/ou de biomarqueurs de tumeur et de signatures d'expression qui peuvent être utilisés pour la détection, le pronostic et le guidage du traitement de patients avec un carcinome hépatocellulaire (HCC); et sur (2) la découverte d'une signature d'expression qui peut être utilisée pour surveiller et/ou étudier l'efficacité d'un schéma posologique de chimiothérapie, tel que, par exemple, le sorafenib (seul ou en combinaison avec d'autres agents). La présente invention porte également sur un procédé de prédiction de résultats cliniques, tels que, par exemple, une survie globale (OS), un temps de progression (TTP) et/ou une probabilité de bénéficier d'un traitement chimiothérapeutique (à savoir, sorafenib) chez des patients HCC sur la base de l'analyse de tels biomarqueurs.
