• Research summary

  We will use the serum samples from patients who have responded well to treatment (Ticopa study now complete - intensive or standard care) and those from patients who did not. The serum will be analysed for a panel of proteins to identify biomarkers that may predict response. In this way, following a validation phase, it is hoped to generate a protein biomarker signature that will predict response to treatment.
