Introducing novel serological markers for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which improve sensitivity and specificity to aid in differential diagnosis and provide valuable prognostic information about disease behavior.
As of 2016, the IBDX panel biomarkers: gASCA, ALCA, ACCA, AMCA, Anti-L and Anti-C were
analyzed on over 7500
of patient samples in multiple independent clinical studies around the globe.

Multiple studies have shown when the IBDX biomarkers are combined with pANCA higher sensitivity and sensitivity is obtained. The IBDX achieved 0.81 to 0.846 area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosing IBD vs non IBD 2, 4, 6, 9, 13, 18 including in pediatric population.14

Multiple studies have shown that the IBDX panel identifies 35% and 56.4% of ASCA negative patients 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18 including pediatric population14, 16
Inflammatory Activity and Progression of Bowel Damage in a Theoretical Patient with CD.
Studies have shown correlation between the number of positive serological IBDX markers and Crohn's Disease behavior and abdominal surgery1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18 including pediatric population 14, 16

Prospective study demonstrated that Chron’s disease patients positive for at least two IBDX antibodies are at a higher risk to progress faster10
