Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and compositions are provided to determine if a cancer is resistant to treatment with anti-mitotic agents, including treatment with T-DM1. The methods relate to determining if the ABCC3 gene is amplified and/or overexpressed in the cancer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating breast cancer, comprising (a) determining, in a tissue sample obtained from a human patient with HER2-positive breast cancer who had shown prior progression on HER2-directed therapy, a copy number of an ABCC3 (ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family C, Member 3) gene or an ABCC3 gene amplification value, relative to an amplification value of a centromere 17 (CEP17) gene in the same tissue sample, by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and (b) administering to the patient whose breast cancer is characterized by an ABCC3 gene copy number of less than 3 or an ABCC3 gene amplification value of less than 1.8 relative to an amplification value of a CEP17 gene an effective amount of a conjugate of trastuzumab and N2′-deacetyl-N2′-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)maytansine (DM1), or a conjugate of trastuzumab and monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said conjugate is trastuzumab-N-succinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (MCC)-DM1 (T-DM1).
