                         This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the                                  
                 examiner’s final rejection of claims 1, 3-15, 17 and 18, which are all the claims                        
                 pending in the application.                                                                              
                         Claim 1 is illustrative of the subject matter on appeal and is reproduced                        
                 below:                                                                                                   
                         1. A method of treating a subject with a neoplastic disease, said method                         
                            comprising co-administering to said subject an amount of                                      

                            an inhibitor of a co-repressor and                                                            
                                                                                                                          
                 1 Pursuant to appellants request (Paper No. 20, received October 10, 2000) an oral hearing for           
                 this appeal was scheduled for February 21, 2002.  However, we note appellants waived (Paper              
                 No. 22, received December 6, 2001) their request for oral hearing.  Accordingly, we considered           
                 this appeal on Brief.
