The non-invasive
gold standard solution for comprehensive management of liver health
Current NASH drug developments focus on patients with NASH at-risk of progression to cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis defined by Active Fibrotic NASH (NASH + NAS≥4 + F≥2).
Fast™ combines FibroScan® examination results (LSM by VCTE™ & CAP™) with an easily accessible blood biomarker (AST) to help identify patients with active fibrotic-NASH, at the point-of-care, reducing invasive and costly procedures.
Good to excellent performance in derivation cohort as well as in external validation cohorts from different clinical settings (NAFLD tertiary care unit, screening, bariatric surgery) and geographical origins (USA, Europe, Asia). Several publications advocate the use of Fast™.
Fast™ is an in vitro diagnostic medical device according to directive 98/79/EC.Fast™ calculator is a tool for clinicians, computed from LSM and CAP (obtained from FibroScan® device) and AST blood parameter measurement, to aid in the identification of a patient with suspicion of NAFLD as being at risk for active fibrotic NASH (NASH+NAS≥4+F≥2). It was developed based on a prospective multicenter cohort and published in peer-reviewed literature. Fast™ is presented as an educational service intended for licensed healthcare professionals.
