CA 2457476

Methods are disclosed for predicting the efficacy of a drug for treating an inflammatory disease in a human patient, including: obtaining a sample of cells from the patient; obtaining a gene expression profile of the sample in the absence and presence of in vitro modulation of the cells with specific cytokines and/or mediators; and comparing the gene expression profile of the sample with a reference gene expression profile, wherein similarities between the sample expression profile and the reference expression profile predicts the efficacy of the drug for treating the inflammatory disease in the patient.

L'invention concerne des procédés pour prévoir l'efficacité d'un médicament, afin de traiter une maladie inflammatoire chez un humain, ces procédés consistant à prélever un échantillon de cellules du patient, caractériser un profil d'expression génique avec et sans modulation in vitro des cellules au moyen de cytokines spécifiques et/ou de médiateurs spécifiques, et comparer le profil d'expression génique de l'échantillon avec un profil d'expression génique de référence, les similarités entre le profil d'expression génique de l'échantillon et le profil d'expression génique de référence indiquant l'efficacité possible d'un médicament dans le traitement d'une maladie inflammatoire chez le patient.
