DPP3 binders for the treatment of endothelial dysfunction

Abstract

Subject of the invention are DPP3 binders for use in therapy or prevention of endothelial dysfunction in a patient wherein the level of Pro-Adrenomedullin or a fragment thereof in a sample of bodily fluid obtained from said patient is above a threshold, as well as methods of therapy guidance or therapy stratification or therapy monitoring of a treatment of a patient with a DPP3 binder, the methods comprising: providing a sample of bodily fluid of said patient; determining the level of Pro-Adrenomedullin or a fragment thereof in said sample; and comparing said level of Pro-Adrenomedullin or a fragment thereof to a threshold; wherein the level of Pro-Adrenomedullin or a fragment thereof in said sample being above said threshold is indicative that said patient requires treatment with a DPP3 binder, or wherein if said level of Pro-Adrenomedullin or a fragment thereof in said sample is above said threshold, said patient is treated with a DPP3 binder.
