Stroke Diagnostic Presentation at EuroMedLab 2017 - Research
Milestone Achieved
We are pleased to announce that Randox Laboratories Ltd,
("Randox") presented the first results from a prospective trial
using its Rapid Stroke Array at the EuroMedLab 2017 meeting in
Athens earlier this month. This is a novel diagnostic test designed
to improve the clinical management of stroke and is based on
multiple biomarkers some of which have been licensed from Proteome
Sciences and developed in association with the Biomedical
Proteomics Research Group at the University of Geneva.
In a study of 192 individuals, led by Dr. Konstantinos Makris of
KAT General Hospital, Athens, Greece, the Randox Rapid Stroke Array
showed excellent performance in identifying stroke from mimic
conditions and healthy controls, and in differentiating between
ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes.
With the presentation of these data, Randox and Proteome
Sciences have agreed that a pre-established milestone for the
delivery of a stroke array for research purposes has now been
achieved and an associated payment of GBP100,000 will be made by
Randox according to the contractual terms initially agreed in April
2012.
Commenting on the presentation, Dr Ian Pike, Chief Scientific
Officer at Proteome Sciences, said: "The results from the first
trial of the Randox Rapid Stroke Array are very encouraging and
have confirmed the potential of biomarkers to provide clinicians
with a clearer diagnosis and to improve patient management."
John Lamont, Chief Scientist at Randox, said: "We are extremely
pleased with the outcome of this study and look forward to the
completion of a prospective registration trial which is currently
being planned."
