Title:
METHOD FOR PREDICTING EFFICACY OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS THERAPEUTIC DRUG AND BIOMARKER USED THEREIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/116567
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To predict the efficacy of a rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic drug, or find a simple and highly reproducible biomarker that can be used to assess the activity of disease conditions and states of rheumatoid arthritis, and provide an effective method. [Solution] A method for predicting the efficacy of a rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic drug on a rheumatoid arthritis patient, the method comprising: a step for measuring the expression level of the MS4A4A gene in peripheral blood derived from the patient before administration of the rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic drug; and a step for measuring the expression level of the MS4A4A gene in peripheral blood derived from the patient after a first period of time has passed since administration of the rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic drug, wherein a reduction in the expression level of the MS4A4A gene after the first period time has passed, indicates a reduction in the value of an index related to rheumatoid arthritis occurring in the patient after a second period of time has passed since administration of the therapeutic drug.
