Abstract

Patient stratification biomarkers that enable the translation of cancer genetic knowledge into clinical utility are essential for the successful and rapid development of emerging targeted anti-cancer therapeutics. Here we describe the identification of patient stratification biomarkers for NVP-BGJ398, a novel and selective FGFR inhibitor. By intersecting genome-wide gene expression and genomic alteration data with cell line sensitivity data across an annotated collection of cancer cell lines termed the “Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia”, we show that genetic alterations for FGFR family members predict for sensitivity to NVP-BGJ398 in specific cancer types, thus providing the rationale for clinical trials in well defined subpopulations of cancer patients with tumors harboring these molecular abnormalities.
