Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to methods of treatment and diagnosis of subjects with cancer. In some aspects, the invention relates to methods of treatment and diagnosis of subjects with cancer, wherein the cancer is characterized by a Notch pathway activation mutation or by resistance to a Notch pathway inhibitor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising administering to a subject having cancer a bromodomain inhibitor, with or without a Bcl-2 inhibitor, and a Notch pathway inhibitor, in an effective amount to treat the cancer, wherein the cancer is characterized by the presence of a Notch pathway activation mutation. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bromodomain inhibitor, without the Bcl-2 inhibitor, and the Notch pathway inhibitor are administered. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bromodomain inhibitor, the Bcl-2 inhibitor and the Notch pathway inhibitor are administered. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the bromodomain inhibitor, the Bcl-2 inhibitor and the Notch pathway inhibitor are administered concurrently or sequentially. 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying the subject as a subject having cancer characterized by the presence of a Notch pathway activation mutation. 6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the bromodomain inhibitor and the Notch pathway inhibitor are administered concurrently or sequentially. 7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the bromodomain inhibitor and the Bcl-2 inhibitor are administered concurrently or sequentially. 8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the Bcl-2 inhibitor is G3139, GX15-070, ABT-737 or ABT-199. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bromodomain inhibitor is a BET inhibitor. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bromodomain inhibitor is JQ1 or a derivative thereof. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Notch pathway inhibitor is a gamma secretase inhibitor. 12. The method of claim 3 , wherein the bromodomain inhibitor, the Bcl-2 inhibitor and/or the Notch pathway inhibitor is an siRNA, shRNA, or antisense nucleic acid molecule.
