Company to present two oral presentations and four poster presentations
Crescendo Bioscience, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), today announced that new data on Vectra® DA will be featured at the 2014 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Annual Meeting, Nov. 15-19, 2014, in Boston, Massachusetts. "Vectra DA is a game changer for patients with RA because it provides clinical insights that help inform and improve clinical decisions for patients more effectively than tests like CRP or ESR," said Oscar Segurado, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Crescendo. "The new clinical data being presented at ACR support the use of Vectra DA to assess RA disease activity and predict patient risk of joint damage."
