Disclosed are methods of treating an individual at risk for a negative outcome associated with a treatment for a disease, in particular a proliferative disorder such as cancer. The method may include the steps of creating a predictive assay that includes both a biomarker and a genetic mutation. The predictive assay indicates the likelihood of a negative outcome associated with a particular treatment in a particular individual, such that an individual may be administered a treatment less likely to be associated with a negative outcome.

Predictive clinical assays and methods of using same

A current system allows data-driven hypothesis generation to identify therapeutic candidates for a disease phenotype treatment by identifying drugs and clinical indications associated with lower occurrences of disease-associated phenotype(s) by a drug/drug class. A current system may include a pharmaceutical hierarchical ontology; a phenotype hierarchical ontology; a record database comprising clinical event records; a database mining engine; and a mapping engine. The database mining engine may iteratively progress through a portion of the pharmacological hierarchical ontology and phenotype hierarchical ontology to iteratively select pairs of cohort entries from each ontology; and for each pair of cohort entries, query the clinical record database for matching records. The mapping engine may map each pair of cohort entries into a matrix comprising a drug-event cell for each pair and apply a value thereto representing the number of database records matching items returned by the database mining engine for the corresponding cohort entries.

Disclosed are methods for identifying patients at increased risk of developing disseminated staphylococcal infection, which includes the steps of determining that the patient has a mutation in one or more genes selected from a MPDZ network gene, a CGNL1 network gene, a PRKRIR network gene, a MED26 network gene, a tight junction protein gene, or an immune modulator gene; and treating the patient for disseminated staphylococcal infection. Also disclosed are solid substrates and/or assays useful for carrying out the disclosed methods.

A method for assessing a neuropsychiatric condition (such as, but not limited to, a risk that a subject may attempt to commit suicide or repeat an attempt to commit suicide, a risk that terminally ill patient is not being care-for or treated according to the patient's true wishes, a risk that a subject may perform or repeat a criminal act and/or a harmful act, a risk of the subject having a psychiatric illness, and/or a risk of a subject feigning a psychiatric illness) may include a plurality of steps. A step may include receiving biomarker data associated from an analysis of the subject's biological sample and a step of receiving thought-marker data obtained pertaining to one or more of the subject's recorded thoughts, spoken words, transcribed speech, and writings. A step may include generating a biomarker score associated with the neuropsychiatric condition from the biomarker data. A step may include generating a thought-marker score associated with the neuropsychiatric condition from the thought-marker data. And a step may involve calculating a neuropsychiatric condition score based, at least in part, upon the biomarker score and the thought-marker score. Such method may be operating from one or more memory devices including computer-readable instructions configured to instruct a computerized system to perform the method, and the method may be operating on a computerized system including one or more computer servers (or other available devices) accessible over a computer network such as the Internet or over some other data network.
