PERTH, W. AUSTRALIA — MedTech pioneer Proteomics International Laboratories Ltd (Proteomics International; ASX: PIQ) has announced the official product launch of its world leading predictive diagnostic test for diabetic kidney disease, “PromarkerD”.
The pioneering diagnostic test was launched by Proteomics International partner Omics Global Solutions (Puerto Rico, USA) through its distributor in the Dominican Republic, Macrotech Farmaceutica, the exclusive provider of dialysis services in the country.
The successful launch represents the achievement of a key milestone in the stepped approach to commercialise the test in global markets using a range of technology platforms. Proteomics International is engaged with potential partners to bring PromarkerD to market in mainland USA, Mexico, Japan, Australia, China and Europe.
Proteomics International Managing Director, Dr Richard Lipscombe said, “The world is now recognising the growing burden of diabetes and the importance of kidney health. We see PromarkerD as transforming the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic kidney disease and saving healthcare systems billions of dollars.”
The test is being provided using the published mass spectrometry technology platform, known as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT), and the Company expects to conclude its next licensing deal for this version of PromarkerD with a certified laboratory within weeks. Following uptake by specialised facilities, Proteomics International is focused on finalising the development of the in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay version of PromarkerD, that can be used in clinical laboratories around the world.
