Abstract:
Described herein are methods for using calcium flux as a biomarker to select and predict patients likely to respond to an apoptotic agent as therapy. Further described herein is a method of using calcium flux as a clinical biomarker to determine whether a tumor is sensitive to an HDAC inhibitor.
Abstract:
[00153] Described herein are methods and compositions for determining whether a particular cancer is resistant to or susceptible to a histone deacetylase inhibitor or to histone deacetylase inhibitors. The methods include analysis of the expression levels of at least four biomarker genes associated with response to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Also described herein are methods and compositions for increasing the likelihood of a therapeutically effective treatment in a patient, comprising an analysis of the expression levels of at least four biomarker genes associated with response to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Also described herein are isolated populations of nucleic acids derived from a cancer sensitive to or resistant to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Further described are kits and indications that are used in conjunction with the aforementioned methods and compositions.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods for treating a subject suffering from a T-cell lymphoma by administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of a selective inhibitor of histone deacetylase 8. Also described herein are methods for treating a subject suffering from a T-cell lymphoma by administering to the subject a population of autologous T-cells that have been exposed to a selective HDAC8 inhibitor composition ex vivo .
Abstract:
A novel scheme for administering N-hydroxy-4-{2-[3-{N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)benzofuran-2-ylcarbonylamino]ethoxy}benzamide of formula (I): or an addition salt thereof with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base, alone or in combination with a surgical, chemotherapy or hormone therapy treatment or with radiotherapy, for the treatment of cancer, characterized in that it is administered for 4 consecutive days, this period being followed by 3 consecutive days without any administration of the compound of formula (I), wherein it is understood that the chemotherapy treatment is not FOLFOX.
Abstract:
Described herein are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, which inhibit the activity of histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8). Also described herein are methods of using such HDAC8 inhibitors, alone and in combination with other compounds, for treating diseases or conditions that would benefit from inhibition of HDAC8 activity.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a combination of N-hydroxy-4-{2-[3-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)benzofuran-2-ylcarbonylamino]ethoxy}benzamide with formula (I): or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable base or acid addition salts thereof and FOLFOX for cancer treatment.
