Software for Evaluating Drug Induced Hepatotoxicity Description of Technology: This invention pertains to a software tool for assisting differential medical diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury (hepatotoxicity) using clinical trial data. The software is capable of identifying a small subset of patients at risk for hepatotoxicity out of a pool of thousands of clinical trial participants. This software tool is the only one of its kind developed using SAS/IntrNet®. Potential Commercial Applications: • Hepatotoxicity detection • Drug interactions Competitive Advantages: • Personalized predictions • SAS/IntrNet® compatible Development Stage: Prototype Inventor: Ted J.

The VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:06 Dec 24, 2013 Jkt 232001 inventors have previously identified a strong association signal in this genomic region and used this information to identify the underlying pathogenic mutation. The pathogenic repeat expansion accounts for up to 50% of familial ALS and familial FTD cases and up to 10% of sporadic ALS and sporadic FTD cases in European ancestry populations. The inventors represent that this finding will be the basis of diagnostic screening for ALS and/or FTD patients, as well as an important target in the development of therapeutics for ALS and/or FTD. Potential Commercial Applications: Diagnosis and treatment of ALS and/or FTD. Competitive Advantages: Improved diagnosis and treatment of ALS and/or FTD.
