Abstract

See full text

Methods of improving patient safety and reducing undesirable side effects for patients considering therapeutic treatment using monomethyl fumarate and prodrugs of monomethyl fumarate are disclosed. In particular, a method of treating a disease in a patient in need of such treatment is provided. The method comprises testing the patient for a propensity for a deficiency in tissue glutathione S-transferase theta 1 enzyme (GSTT1) levels. Thereafter, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound selected from monomethyl fumarate (MMF), a prodrug of monomethyl fumarate, and combinations thereof is administered to the patient. During the treatment of the disease, blood lymphocyte concentration is periodically tested in the patient at a predetermined time interval length that is based on the enzyme level propensity testing result.
