Method for analyzing rna biomarkers to determine cancer treatment effectiveness
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11840734B2) outlines a method for evaluating the effectiveness of anti-RANKL antibody therapy in cancer patients. The method involves isolating RNA from circulating tumor cells and extracellular vesicles, determining the expression of AURKA, and creating an expression profile. By identifying overexpression of AURKA, the method recommends ceasing anti-RANKL antibody therapy and switching to a different treatment for cancer management.
The patent further details variations of the method, including different approaches to obtaining biological samples, isolating circulating tumor cells, and determining AURKA expression through reverse transcription and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The biological samples can include liquid biopsies from bodily fluids like blood and urine, with the goal of identifying AURKA overexpression as an indicator of resistance or failure to denosumab bone stabilization therapy. The specificity of the predetermined threshold value for AURKA expression is set at a minimum of 90% to ensure accurate assessment of therapy effectiveness. The method provides a comprehensive approach to personalized cancer treatment based on molecular markers like AURKA expression levels in circulating tumor cells and extracellular vesicles.
