  • Diagnostic markers for platelet function and methods of use
    Patent number: 11008619
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are biomarkers of platelet function and methods for assessing platelet function in response to antiplatelet therapy and for determining a prognosis, diagnosis, or risk identification in a patient by detecting at least one biomarker of platelet function in the patient as well as determining amounts thereof. The biomarkers may be used to identify a patient as a candidate for treatment with an antiplatelet agent and to monitor and adjust antiplatelet therapy in a patient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 18, 2021
    Assignee: Duke University
    Inventors: Geoffrey S. Ginsburg, Joseph E. Lucas, Thomas L. Ortel, Richard C. Becker, Deepak Voora, Jen-Tsan Chi
