Crescendo Bioscience, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:MYGN), today announced that it has launched a new web-based portal called myVectra for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). myVectra provides patients with easy access to their Vectra DA test results and test history, which can help them to prepare for visits with their rheumatologist. Patients will have access to their results in the portal seven days after they are sent to their rheumatologist (approximately two weeks after their blood is drawn for the Vectra DA test). The new portal is available at: my.vectrada.com

Vectra DA is the first and only multi-biomarker blood test to measure disease activity in patients with RA. Tracking and knowing their Vectra DA scores allows patients to be better informed about their disease activity and changes over time, and to be prepared to discuss the best course of disease management with their rheumatologist. myVectra in conjunction with the MyRA® mobile application (trackmyra.com) allows patients using an iPhone®, iPad®, or Android™ smartphone to track how they are feeling and remind them of that information for their next visit with their rheumatologist. myVectra and MyRA give patients important information to monitor their disease activity and health journey.

"We are committed to improving the lives of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. When patients access their Vectra DA test results through myVectra, they will gain a better understanding of their disease activity and become active participants in their care," said Bernie Tobin, president, Crescendo Bioscience. "This information improves patient engagement, empowerment and communications with their rheumatologist."

About Vectra® DA Vectra DA is the only multi-biomarker blood test for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity that integrates the concentrations of 12 serum proteins associated with RA disease activity into a single objective score, on a scale of 1 to 100, to help physicians make more informed treatment decisions. Vectra DA testing is performed at the Crescendo Bioscience state-of-the-art CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) facility. Test results are reported to the physician 5 to 7 days from shipping of the specimen to Crescendo Bioscience. Physicians can receive test results via standard mail, by fax or via the private web portal, VectraView. For more information on Vectra DA, please visit, www.Vectra-DA.com.
