Abstract
Provided herein are compositions, systems, and methods for assessing and monitory disease stage and phases, predicting likelihood of disease progression, and predicting and monitoring responses to disease therapies (e.g., in HBV infection).
Claims6
A method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving an indication of presence, level, or status of at least two markers obtained from an assay using a test sample obtained from a subject being administered a treatment for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) or diagnosed with HBV, wherein the at least two markers are and aspartate aminotransferase (AST);
- and
- (b) (1) assessing and monitoring disease stage or phase, or monitoring response to a HBV therapy based on the presence, level, or status of the at least two markers;
- or
- (2) (i) identifying a treatment for HBV based on said presence, level, or status of the at least two markers,
- wherein said treatment is selected from the group consisting of:
- (aa) an interferon, a nucleoside analogue, a nucleotide analogue, a nucleic acid, an immunodulator, a core protein assembly inhibitor, an HBsAg release inhibitor, an entry inhibitor, interfering RNA, and a combination thereof;
- (bb) a treatment employed by a physician is based on new or recent information in scientific literature and/or reported in clinical trials and is other than that recognized as a standard of care or provided in recommended treatment guidelines to treat a subject having HBV;
- (cc) a treatment being administered as an individualized treatment regimen designed or developed for the subject by a clinician based on clinical parameters, cutoffs, publications or a combination thereof;
- and (dd) a treatment being administered as part of one or more clinical trial(s) and comprises a treatment regimen designed or developed for one or more subjects based on clinical parameters, cutoffs, clinical parameters and cutoffs obtained from prior clinical trials, patient profiles, publications or a combination thereof;
- and
- (ii) administering said treatment if it is determined that the subject will benefit from an HBV therapeutic if the level of the at least two markers is favorable when compared to a predetermined or reference level of said at least two markers or not administering said treatment if it is determined that the subject will not benefit from an HBV therapeutic if the level of the at least two markers is unfavorable when compared to the predetermined or reference level of the at least two markers.

A kit or system, comprising:
- reagents for detection of the presence, level, or status of at least two markers, wherein the at least two markers are:
- Hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST).
A method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving an indication of presence, level, or status of one or more markers obtained from an assay using a test sample obtained from a subject being administered a treatment for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) or diagnosed with HBV, wherein the one or more markers are selected from the group consisting of Hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST);
- and
- (b) (1) assessing and monitoring disease stage or phase or monitoring response to a HBV therapy based on the presence, level, or status of said one or more markers;
- or
- (2) (i) identifying a treatment for HBV based on said presence, level, or status of said one or more markers,
- wherein said treatment is selected from the group consisting of:
- (aa) an interferon, a nucleoside analogue, a nucleotide analogue, a nucleic acid, an immunodulator, a core protein assembly inhibitor, an HBsAg release inhibitor, an entry inhibitor, interfering RNA, and a combination thereof;
- (bb) a treatment employed by a physician is based on new or recent information in scientific literature and/or reported in clinical trials and is other than that recognized as a standard of care or provided in recommended treatment guidelines to treat a subject having HBV;
- (cc) a treatment being administered as an individualized treatment regimen designed or developed for the subject by a clinician based on clinical parameters, cutoffs, publications or a combination thereof;
- and (dd) a treatment being administered as part of one or more clinical trial(s) and comprises a treatment regimen designed or developed for one or more subjects based on clinical parameters, cutoffs, clinical parameters and cutoffs obtained from prior clinical trials, patient profiles, publications or a combination thereof;
- and
- (ii) administering said treatment if it is determined that the subject will benefit from an HBV therapeutic if the level of the one or more markers is favorable when compared to a predetermined or reference level of said one or more markers or not administering said treatment if it is determined that the subject will not benefit from an HBV therapeutic if the level of the one or more markers is unfavorable when compared to the predetermined or reference level of the one or more markers.
