The Vectra® test

The Vectra® test measures 12 biomarkers and incorporates age, gender and adiposity in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to provide a single score that is an objective measure of inflammation, which reflects disease activity, predicts risk of radiographic progression and informs medical management decisions designed to prevent irreversible joint damage.

Clinical use of the Vectra® test

Unsurpassed predictor of radiographic progression

Up to 42% of patients thought to be in low or moderate disease activity were found to be in high disease activity when measured by the Vectra® test and also at risk for joint damage. The Vectra® test helps identify risk so action can be taken earlier.

Management of RA inflammation

Evaluate the success of controlling inflammation by using the Vectra® test and monitoring the scores over time.

Enhanced rheumatology care

An evaluation that combines the molecular measures of biomarkers with the patient and rheumatologist assessments provides the most comprehensive approach to inform treatment decisions.

Molecular assessment

 

Enhanced Vectra® test

The Vectra® test now accounts for age, gender and adiposity for a more personalized score.

The Vectra® test score helps improve outcomes

The Vectra® test is the best predictor of future joint damage. The adjusted Vectra® test score was validated in four cohorts combined as a superior prognostic of radiographic progression, compared with conventional measures.

Manage to goal

The Vectra® test can inform the success of treatment when scores are tracked over time. A change in 8 or more units in subsequent Vectra® test scores reflects a meaningful change and may be considered a tool, combined with a clinical assessment, to optimize treatment decision-making.

Rheumatologists use the Vectra® test to inform treatment decisions

Evaluate the success of controlling RA inflammation by using the Vectra® test at initiation of treatment, change in drug treatment or to monitor response to therapy.
