Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex ASRs enable a first-in-class biomarker test for axial spondyloarthritis.
What is Axial Spondyloarthritis?
Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing pain, stiffness and joint damage.
Burden of Diagnostic Delay
AxSpA imposes a significant burden on patients, impacting physical function, mental health, and work productivity. Diagnosis is often delayed by 7-10 years due to the absence of reliable biomarkers, with many cases misdiagnosed as chronic low back pain. Early detection is critical for preventing long-term damage and improving patient outcomes.1
Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex addresses critical gaps in patient care to improve outcomes
Streamlined Diagnostic Process
Aids in the early and accurate diagnosis of axSpA, reducing the 7-10 year average time to diagnosis.
Complementary to Imaging
Offers diagnostic support alongside traditional imaging.
Clinical Confidence
Enables evidence-based decisions, leading to more timely and appropriate treatment plans.
Improved Outcomes
Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex aids in earlier detection and intervention of axSpA, potentially preventing long-term spinal damage.
Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex is highly sensitive and specific for early diagnosis of axSpA
Early and Accurate Diagnosis
Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex is highly sensitive (76%) and highly specific (74%) to enable differentiation between axSpA and chronic low back pain.3
Complementary to CRP
Combined with CRP, the test can identify 90% of axSpA patients, improving diagnostic accuracy.4
HLA-B27 Independent
Provides diagnostic value even in patients who are negative for traditional markers like HLA-B27.4

Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex ASRs are now available for early access in Knoxville, Tennessee, through our partnership with New Day Diagnostics as a laboratory-developed test (LDT).
Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex ASRs enable the only diagnostic test for axSpA
Anti-14-3-3eta Multiplex ASRs are a novel diagnostic that detects autoantibodies against the normally intracellular 14-3-3eta protein, a well-established biomarker in autoimmune rheumatologic disorders.
