Precision-Guided Therapy Selection

![[Page Header]_Respondr_TNF_main_page_2025 Female with IBD. Is the prescribed biologic right for her?](https://prometheuslabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Page-Header_Respondr_TNF_main_page_2025.png)
Unpredictable response can make biologic therapies challenging
Anti-TNF biologics have been shown to be highly effective for IBD patients, but the variability in response can make the process for patients to achieve and maintain remission burdensome.
Common factors impacting drug exposure and efficacy:
- Accelerated drug clearance1-2
- Antidrug antibody development driven by pharmacokinetics and/or genetic predisposition1-4

Early selection of the right therapeutic and effective management improves patient outcomes
By optimizing the selection and management of the first therapeutic, patients experience:
- Better disease control and an increased likelihood of achieving sustained remission5-7
- Reduced risk of surgery or hospitalizations, and improved quality of life5-7
Tools to confidently select an appropriate therapy plan before initiation have been limited — until now.


Pre-therapy clearance and genetic risk can predict a patient’s response to anti-TNFs
Accelerated pre-therapy clearance (>0.326 L/day) and carriage of the HLA-DQA1*05 G allele significantly impact therapy response.1 Patients with these factors are:
- 2x more likely to develop antidrug antibodies1
- Less likely to achieve clinical, biochemical or endoscopic remission1,4,8
Identifying patient risk factors prior to therapy selection enables treatment plans to be personalized to the IBD patient.
