摘要:
The invention concerns various methods of using labeled HSP90 inhibitors to improve treatment of cancer patients with HSP90 inhibitors, including ex vivo and in vivo methods for determining whether a tumor will likely respond to therapy with an HSP90 inhibitor. The disclosure provides a method for determining whether a tumor will likely respond to therapy with an HSP90 inhibitor which comprises the following steps: (a) contacting the tumor or a sample containing cells from the tumor with a detectably labeled HSP90 inhibitor which binds preferentially to a tumor-specific form of HSP90; (b) measuring the amount of labeled HSP90 inhibitor bound to the tumor or the tumor cells in the sample; and (c) comparing the amount of labeled HSP90 inhibitor bound to the tumor or the tumor cells in the sample measured in step (b) to the amount of labeled-HSP90 inhibitor bound to a reference.
