Test Details

Methodology

Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA)

Result Turnaround Time

8 - 15 days

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.

Test Includes

This test includes serial monitoring.

Use

Provides serum concentrations of vedolizumab and anti-vedolizumab antibodies in order to optimize treatment and facilitate clinical decision-making.

Limitations

Drug half-life should be taken into consideration when interpreting concentrations measured in non-trough collections.

High serum biotin concentrations in patients taking biotin supplements may cause an interference in this assay. Patients may be advised to stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to sample collection.

Custom Additional Information

In the absence of anti-vedolizumab antibodies, the vedolizumab drug level reflects the total vedolizumab concentration. In the presence of anti-vedolizumab antibodies, the vedolizumab concentration reflects the antibody-unbound fraction of vedolizumab.

The presence of vedolizumab drug, even at concentrations well above target treatment levels , does not interfere with anti-vedolizumab antibody measurement. All positive anti-vedolizumab antibody results are verified by a confirmatory test.
