Abstract:
For obtaining a prediction of the long-term efficacy of a medicament on reducing a risk of a renal clinical outcome or a cardiovascular clinical outcome, a multivariate risk relation is determined from values (8) of a plurality of biomarkers and the occurrence in the past (11) of said clinical outcome. The biomarkers include systolic blood pressure, ratio between albumin and creatinine contents in urine, and potassium, Hb A1c, and total cholesterol contents in blood. The risk relation is applied to reference biomarker values (16, 18a) for determining a reference estimate of a risk of future occurrence of that clinical outcome (2a) and to medicament affected biomarker values after a short-term treatment period (18b) for determining a medicament affected estimate of a long-term risk of future occurrence of that clinical outcome (2b). The long-term medicament efficacy estimate (19) is determined from the reference risk estimate and the medicament affected risk estimate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a binding compound which binds to human APRIL. More specifically the invention provides, compositions of anti-APRIL specific antibodies and methods to use such antibodies in modulating the biological activity APRIL, particularly in inflammatory diseases, inhibition of cell proliferation and cancer.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a compound according to the formula [1] wherein R1 and R2 are branched or straight groups having up to 17 atoms selected from carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur, n is 0 to and including 18, Y is sulphur or selene, X is S or 0 and R is -OH or an organic group comprising one or more peptides, one or more nucleic acids, one or more antibodies or combinations thereof. The invention is also directed to process for preparing said compound and the use of said compound as an adjuvant.
