Published Data for
PredictSURE® IBD
The IBD biomarker was originally discovered using gene expression analysis of CD8+ T cells (Lee 2011, McKinney 2015) and subsequently translated into a 17 gene (15 informative, 2 control genes) whole blood qPCR test, validated on an independent cohort of 123 IBD patients (66 CD, 57 UC) (Biasci 2019).
Our test
Patients identified as high-risk experienced a more aggressive disease course characterised by:
- Shorter time to treatment escalation; hazard ratio (HR) 2.65 for CD and 3.12 for UC (Fig. 1 A,B)
- Increased risk of any treatment escalation; relative risk (RR) at 12 months 1.7 for CD, 2.8 for UC (Fig. 1 C,D)
- Increased risk of multiple treatment escalation
Need for more potent therapies to achieve disease remission
