Patent

CA 2454648

The present invention relates to the use of irinotecan or a derivative thereof for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treating colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, malignant glioma, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer in a patient having a genotype with a first, a second, a third, and/or a fourth variant allele which comprises a polynucleotide in accordance with the present invention. Preferably, a nucleotide deletion, addition and/or substitution comprised by said polynucleotide results in an altered expression of a first, a second, a third and/or a fourth variant allele compared to the corresponding wild type allele or an altered activity of the polypeptide encoded by the variant allele compared to the polypeptide encoded by the corresponding wild type allele. Finally, the present invention relates to a method for selecting a suitable therapy for a subject suffering from colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, malignant glioma, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'irinotécan ou d'un dérivé de celui-ci pour réaliser une préparation pharmaceutique destinée à traiter les cancers colorectal, cervical, gastrique, pulmonaire, un gliome malin, le cancer des ovaires ou du pancréas chez une personne de génotype ayant un premier, un deuxième, un troisième et/ou un quatrième allèle variant contenant un polynucléotide selon la présente invention. La délétion, l'addition et/ou la substitution de nucléotides comprises dans ledit polynucléotide se traduit de préférence par une expression modifiée d'un premier, d'un deuxième, d'un troisième et/ou d'un quatrième allèle variant, comparativement à l'allèle de type sauvage correspondant, ou par une activité modifiée du polypeptide codé par l'allèle variant, comparativement au polypeptide codé par l'allèle de type sauvage correspondant. La présente invention porte également sur une méthode pour sélectionner une thérapie appropriée pour un sujet souffrant d'un cancer colorectal, cervical, gastrique, pulmonaire, d'un gliome malin, du cancer des ovaires ou du pancréas.
