IGF1R biomarkers useful in a method for identifying and monitoring a mammal that will respond therapeutically to a method of treating cancer comprising administering an IGF1R modulator, wherein the method comprises (a) exposing the mammal to the IGF1R modulator and (b) measuring in the mammal the level of the at least one biomarker, wherein a difference in the level of the at least one biomarker measured in (b) compared to the level of the biomarker in a mammal that has not been exposed to the IGF1R modulator indicates that the mammal will respond therapeutically to the method of treating cancer and (c) wherein the level of the biomarker in a mammal after exposure to a IGF1R modulator indicates that the mammal has responded therapeutically to the method of treating cancer.

Biomarkers and methods for determining sensitivity to insulin growth factor-1 receptor modulators

The present invention describes polynucleotides that have been discovered to correlate to the relative sensitivity or resistance of cells, e.g., breast cell lines, to treatment with compounds that interact with and modulate, e.g., inhibit, protein tyrosine kinases, such as, for example, members of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, e.g., Src, Fgr, Fyn, Yes, Blk, Hck, Lck and Lyn, as well as other protein tyrosine kinases, including, Bcr-abl, Jak, PDGFR, c-kit and Eph receptors. These polynucleotides have been shown to have utility in predicting the resistance and sensitivity of breast cell lines to the compounds. Such polynucleotides comprise polynucleotide predictor or marker sets useful in methods of predicting drug response, and as prognostic or diagnostic indicators in disease management, particularly in those disease areas, e.g., breast cancer, in which signaling through one or more of the aforementioned Src tyrosine and protein tyrosine kinases is involved with the disease process.
