摘要:
The present invention provides a patch deployment device, the device comprising a pusher wire having a proximal end and a distal end; a plurality of deployment wires, wherein each deployment wire: has a first end and a second end, and the first end and the second end are connected to the distal end of the pusher wire; and is configured to be in an unexpanded state when positioned and constrained within a catheter, and configured to self-expand into an expanded state when positioned beyond a distal end of the catheter and not constrained, wherein in the expanded state at least a portion of the wire is positioned substantially within a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pusher wire and has an asymmetric form when viewed along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pusher wire.

The present invention provides methods for selecting an individual with psoriasis (Ps) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who should receive or who is likely to respond to a treatment with an anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) therapy. In addition, provided herein are methods for selecting an individual with Ps or PsA who should receive or who is likely to respond to a therapy that is not an anti-TNFα therapy, e.g., a non-anti-TNFα therapy for the treatment of Ps or PsA. Specifically, the methods of the present invention relate to detecting the presence of distinct alleles of the PDE3A-SLCO1C1 locus which are associated with a clinical response to an anti-TNFα therapy or a non-anti-TNF therapy in patients with Ps or PsA.
