Biomarkers and Molecular Profiling

In May 2007, we entered into a license agreement with the University of Southern California (USC) under which we licensed the exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights for an intellectual property portfolio of diagnostic protein biomarkers for therapy response, therapy toxicity and disease recurrence in colorectal cancers. The intellectual property licensed is based on USC research by Associate Professor of Medicine Heinz-Joseph Lenz and colleagues. We believe these licensed biomarkers are consistent with our strategy to identify compounds with specific activity linked to specific biological markers related to particular disease states and may be useful predictors of response to treatments (evaluated through clinical response, toxicity and time to disease progression) and prognostic markers, which are important in determining the aggressiveness of cancers as well as other diseases.
