- PlaqueTec, a company identifying endotype-specific biomarkers to advance precision medicine for coronary artery disease (CAD), today announced that it has received the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approval to continue its BIOPATTERN trial following recruitment of the first ten patients with CAD.
- The BIOPATTERN trial will use PlaqueTec’s proprietary blood sampling device, the Liquid Biopsy System™ (LBS), to collect samples at multiple sites along a patient’s diseased coronary artery.
- Thousands of proteins and other blood molecules will be measured in each sample, enabling the assessment of trans-plaque gradients between samples.
- The trial aims to recruit 300 patients with established CAD who have been scheduled for a coronary angiogram.
