Biomarkers. Currently, there is a critical need for biomarkers of prostate cancer that can distinguish between locally indolent and metastatically aggressive disease191. The only FDA approved biomarker, prostate specific antigen (PSA), has historically been used for screening and detection of prostate cancer, but not for prognosis nor detection of CRPC. A major issue with PSA is that it detects prostate cells, not prostate cancer cells, and thus can result in over diagnosis and over treatment. While results of the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial showed no reduction in prostate cancer specific mortality when comparing systematic annual PSA screening to opportunistic screening192, the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERPSC) found a small reduction in mortality (1 death per 1000 men screened) in a PSA-screening naïve population193. However, several potential flaws in the ERPSC study194 and the associated xxxxx of over diagnosis and over treatment led the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to recommend against PSA screening195, 196. Given the recent controversy in its screening effectiveness, PSA is now recommended primarily for the determination of prostate cancer progression and recurrence. However, there are potential replacements for PSA for detection screening under development, including PCA3 and the ETS fusion gene TMPRSS2-ERG197, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203. TMPRSS2-ERG has been shown to be a predictive indicator of prostate cancer development in patients who present with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia200. FISH analyses of CRPC and metastatic prostate cancers found that TMPRSS2-ERG was detected more often in metastatic cancer, and that TMPRSS2-ERG positivity was strongly correlated to both AR and ERG expression201. TMPRSS2-ERG expression has also been seen in otherwise histologically benign radical prostatectomy as well as in cystoprostatectomy specimens. TMPRSS2-ERG and PCA3 can also be detected in patient urine post-digital rectal exam204. However, there are still conflicting data regarding the prognostic value of PCA3 or TMPRSS2-ERG. A 2011 study by Xxxxxx et al. found that the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion gene could be accurately assayed in circulating prostate tumor cells present in the blood of CRPC patients, but did not show that the presence of the fusion was a significant factor in abiraterone acetate treatment response198. Another prospective study of 322 patients illustrated...
Biomarkers. Biomarkers in SLE are often used for diagnosis but do not always correlate with changes in disease activity. The following biomarkers will be evaluated to determine if a change in level correlates with a change in disease activity: anti-dsDNA Ab, anti–U1-70K snRNP Ab, ANA, anti-Sm Ab, and C3, C4, CRP, IgG, IgM, IgA and IgE.
Biomarkers. Blood biomarkers including C-reactive protein, adiponectin, and fibrinogen will be evaluated at baseline (Visit 2) and end of treatment (Visit 17 or study withdrawal). All post-screening biomarker results will be blinded to investigators and sponsor. *** INDICATES MATERIAL THAT WAS OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT WAS REQUESTED.

Biomarkers. For diabetic subjects, we expect a significant reduction of HGT respect to baseline after XXXXXX trial. A similar significant reduction trend we will expect for dyslipidemic participants (defined as LDL > 130 mg/dL or 3.37 mmol/L, Total Cholesterol > 200 mg/dL or 5.18 mmol/L).
