About Hsp90

Hsp90 is an emerging therapeutic target of interest for the treatment of cancer. Proteins are the mainstay of structural and signaling elements of all cells. Hsp90 is a molecule that maintains the conformation and activity of specific proteins in the cell -- these proteins are known as "client proteins" of Hsp90. Many cancers result from specific mutations in, or aberrant expression of, these client proteins. Examples of oncogenic client proteins of Hsp90 include c-Kit in GIST, epidermal growth factor receptor, (EGFR), in NSCLC, and Bcr-Abl in chronic myelogenous leukemia. Hsp90 enables those cancers' survival by maintaining the function of oncogenic client proteins. In preclinical studies, inhibition of Hsp90 has been shown to lead to the degradation of these proteins and cell death, or apoptosis. In addition, oncogenic client proteins that have become resistant to approved targeted therapies have also been shown preclinically to remain sensitive to Hsp90 inhibition. Inhibition of Hsp90 has broad therapeutic potential for the treatment of patients with solid tumors and blood-related cancers, including cancers that are resistant to other drugs.

About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. The ACS estimates that approximately 214,000 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2007. According to the ACS, NSCLC is the most common form of lung cancer, accounting for about 85% of all lung cancers. In some cases, specific mutations have been identified in EGFR, a cellular signaling enzyme. These mutations allow the survival signal of the mutated cancer cell to be switched "on" all the time. NSCLC patients with mutations in EGFR have been found to benefit from drugs such as Tarceva(r) and Iressa(r) that block EGFR signaling. Over time, however, resistance mutations develop su
