FOR PROVIDERS

Mitigating the Complexities of Multiple Sclerosis

With precise, personalized results, the Octave MSDA test provides clinical data to support informed care decisions.

Establishing a Baseline Benchmark

Across all clinical scenarios, clinicians need a starting point. The MSDA Test delivers a measurable baseline to inform and track care over time.

  1. Routine Care
    Use routine visits to establish a baseline and personalize ongoing care decisions with objective data.
  2. Presenting or Silent Symptoms
    A baseline helps distinguish change from stability, whether symptoms are new, worsening, or absent.
  3. Life Changes
    Significant life events, such as pregnancy, aging, or comorbidities, can influence MS management. Establishing a baseline provides a reference point to assess how these changes may impact disease activity.

The Octave® MSDA Test​​

The Octave® Multiple Sclerosis Disease Activity Test (MSDA) Test is the first and only analytically and clinically validated multi-analyte biomarker for MS.

AI Enabled, Personalized Report.

Each report indicates a disease activity score, comprised of 18 biomarkers with 4 biological pathways, reflecting both the likelihood and severity of disease activity.

A longitudinal view of score history is also included, increasing clinician confidence in disease assessment over time.

The Octave MSDA test outperforms a single biomarker, NfL, in assessing three key disease activity measures: Gd+ lesions, new and enlarging T2 lesions, and active vs. stable status.1

Order the MSDA test with ease

The Octave MSDA Test is easy to prescribe and accessible.

The Octave Cares program provides predictable financial assistance, with most patient financial responsibility $100 or less, ensuring broader access without financial uncertainty.

MSDA Test Use Cases

Discover how the MSDA Test is used in clinical practice to initiate, switch or discontinue DMTs

DMT Initiation

The MSDA Test identified elevated disease activity, supporting initiation of DMT in a newly diagnosed patient.

DMT Switching

The MSDA Test detected increased disease activity, providing objective evidence to support a change in DMT.
