PredictrPK® ADA Maintenance
Use
This test predicts adalimumab (ADA) levels with alternative dosing strategies and calculates ADA clearance. It measures serum ADA and antibodies-to-ADA (ATA), as well as albumin levels, in IBD patients aged 12 and older. This facilitates tailored dosage adjustments to maintain optimal biologic response and improve patient outcomes.
Special Instructions
Sample collection can occur anytime within the current dosing interval after the patient has been on ADA therapy for at least 8 weeks. Accurate documentation of dosing intervals and history is necessary.
Limitations
This test has not been cleared or approved by the FDA and should be used reflecting that limitation in regulatory approval. Pharmacokinetic variability and inter-individual differences may not be fully captured.
