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
