Biomedical Diagnostics (bmd) obtains the CE mark for its LISA TRACKER Premium kits

2010 May 06

The LISA TRACKER Premium kits are innovative monitoring tools for the simultaneous assay of TNFα (a cytokine involved in disease progression), anti-TNF therapeutics (Infliximab, Etanercept and Adalimumab) and neutralizing, anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). The correlation of these three parameters is essential for defining and predicting a patient's treatment response. It known that the development of ADAs reduces a treatment's efficacy and induces the long-term resurgence of disease symptoms. In combination with clinical data, the assay results enable physicians to establish the patient's resistance profile and thus optimize the management of certain autoimmune diseases (such as chronic rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis in rheumatology, Crohn's disease and hemorrhagic colitis in gastroenterology and psoriatic arthritis in dermatology).
