Neihu, Taiwan (September 09, 2010)Abnova Corporation and Japan National Cancer Center Research Institute have jointly filed an international patent covering a novel protein, Cystathionine gamma-Lyase, CTH, relating to ovarian cancer prognosis, companion diagnosis and therapy. This is the result of a collaborative work screening a large collection monoclonal antibodies on ovarian cancer tissue specimens, confirming protein biomarker with strongest statistical correlation to disease prognosis in both multiple and independent patient cohorts, and validating its utility as therapeutic target in vitro. With the advent of personalized medicine, biotech and pharmaceutical industries are mandated to develop more efficacious drugs based on protein phenotype diagnosis of the patient. The feasibility of this new paradigm can be seen in the commercial success of companion diagnostics such as HER2 protein marker for Herceptin® monoclonal antibody therapy and EGFR mutation for ERISSA chemotherapy. Leveraging the same paradigm, Abnova prepares to develop the CTH into a full-fledge, in vitro diagnostic (IVD) biomarker not only to identify the subset of ovarian cancer patients with...more

Neihu, Taiwan (April 2, 2010).Abnova and Japan National Cancer Center Research Institute will be presenting the result of the pancreatic cancer biomarker findings at the upcoming 8th Japan Human Proteome Organization (JHUPO) conference on July 26-27, 2010 in Tokyo, Japan. This is the culmination of more than one and half years of research discovery and validation work utilizing antibody-based tissue microarray profiling to identify novel protein biomarkers which are preferentially expressed on cancer tissue followed by confirmation of the same proteins released into the blood stream. These biomarkers are benchmarked against the current standard biomarker, CA-19.9 for pancreatic cancer. The newly discovered biomarkers hold great value for early detection, diagnostic, prognostic, and theranostic applications in the management and treatment of pancreatic patients. Abnova has the exclusive right in the commercialization of the derived biomarkers and National Cancer Center Research Institute will receive royalty from sales of commercial products. Human tissue and sera are the two main sources of clinical sample available to clinicians and researchers for investigation of...more
