PREDYSTIC® Infliximab RA Kit

Future therapies rely on the development of Personalized Medicine, when the therapy is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, metabolism, biochemistry ultimately their genetic background.

The core of Personalized Medicine is the observation of understanding the unique nature of the actual patient based on genetic, epigenetic, and clinical information. Thus, we can predict, diagnose or cure them tailored to their individual needs.

The keys to personalized medications are reliable and cost-effective diagnostic procedures shedding light on the individual drug-patient interactions, facilitating the selection of the effective therapy, reducing side-effects thus supporting the realization of a cost-effective therapy.

Egis Pharmaceuticals PLC has started its journey in the Personalized Medicine space by developing a novel innovative diagnostic method, the PREDYSTIC® Infliximab RA Kit complying with the effective European In vitro Diagnostic Directive (IVDD 98/79/EC) and ISO 13485:2016 standard’s requirements for a quality management system and in line with the future In vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR EU 2017/746) requirements.

In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease heterogeneity and interpatient variability contribute to differences in drug efficacy and safety. Since the therapeutic response shows significant differences between individuals it is an unmet medical need in everyday clinical therapy to eliminate the trial-and-error method by incorporating predictive biomarkers into therapeutic decision making.

The development of a complementary diagnostic (CLDx) PREDYSTIC® Infliximab RA Kit has covered the complete cycle from biomarker discovery through in-process manufacturing and successful clinical performance testing to EU IVDD registration. According to the definition complementary diagnostics identify a biomarker-defined subset of patients that respond particularly well to a drug and aid risk/benefit assessments for individual patients, but that are not pre-requisites for receiving the drug.

The PREDYSTIC® Infliximab RA Kit identifies those bio-naïve patients with RA, who are likely responders or non-responders to infliximab treatment based on biomarker analysis from peripheral blood sample collected before the treatment initiation.

The PREDYSTIC® Infliximab RA Kit complies with the applicable requirements set in Directive 98/79/EC.

The product received the “Certificate of Registration” document issued by the National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition (Hungary) on the 21st of December, 2020.

The PREDYSTIC® Infliximab RA Kit is manufactured as a CE IVD Medical Device at the Körmend site of Egis Pharmaceuticals PLC.

The PREDYSTIC® Infliximab RA Kit will be available from as a Product and as a Service via our official partners. Please send your questions and inquiries to the predystic@egis.hu e-mail address.
