FUSION PROTEINS AND METHODS THEREOF
The invention discloses oncogenic fusion proteins. The invention provides methods for treating gene-fusion based cancers.
1 . A method for treating a FGFR1-TACC1 fusion associated cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of AZD4547, or NVP-BGJ398, or a combination thereof, wherein the subject has a FGFR1-TACC1 fusion associated cancer, wherein the FGFR1-TACC1 fusion comprises a tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR1 fused to the TACC domain of TACC1.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has FGFR1-TACC1 fusion associated epithelial cancer, glioma, glioblastoma multiforme, breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, bladder carcinoma, squamous lung carcinoma, head and neck carcinoma or colorectal carcinoma.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has FGFR1-TACC1 fusion associated epithelial cancer.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has FGFR1-TACC1 fusion associated glioblastoma multiforme.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has FGFR1-TACC1 fusion associated glioma.
6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the subject does not have mutations in IDH1 or IDH2 genes.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of AZD4547.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of NVP-BGJ398.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the FGFR1-TACC1 fusion comprises SEQ ID NO: 88.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the FGFR1-TACC1 fusion comprises SEQ ID NO: 150.
11 . A method for treating a FGFR1-TACC1 fusion associated cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:
(b) detecting whether or not a biological sample from the subject has a FGFR1-TACC1 fusion, wherein the FGFR1-TACC1 fusion comprises a tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR1 fused to the TACC domain of TACC1; and
(c) administering to the subject an effective amount of NVP-BGJ398, if in the subject has a FGFR1-TACC1 fusion protein.
12 . A method for treating a FGFR3-TACC3 fusion associated cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of AZD4547, wherein the subject has a FGFR3-TACC3 fusion associated cancer, wherein the FGFR3-TACC3 fusion comprises a tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR3 fused to the TACC domain of transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing (TACC)-3.
13 .- 28 . (canceled)
29 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the subject does not have mutations in IDH1 or IDH2 genes.
30 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of AZD4547.
31 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the FGFR1-TACC1 fusion comprises SEQ ID NO: 88.
32 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the FGFR1-TACC1 fusion comprises SEQ ID NO: 150.
33 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of AZD4547.
34 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of NVP-BGJ398.
35 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the FGFR1-TACC1 fusion comprises SEQ ID NO: 88.
36 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the FGFR1-TACC1 fusion comprises SEQ ID NO: 150.
