Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals including , humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 8, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 8, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 8, 2021.
