Title:
METHODS FOR ASSESSING AND TREATING LEUKEMIA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003038129
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods for treating leukemia patients include analyzing gene expression profiles of a patient to determine whether the patient is likely to respond to treatment with farnesyl transferase inhibitor (FTI) and, optionally, other therapeutics. The methods are also useful for monitoring patient therapy and for selecting a course of therapy. Genes modulated in response to FTI treatment are provided and are used for formulating the profiles.
