AliveDx Seeks FDA Approval for New Celiac Disease Test
AliveDx, a company focused on advancements in diagnostic solutions, has made significant strides by submitting its 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the
MosaiQ AiPlex® Celiac Disease multiplex microarray. This innovative test aims to enhance the accuracy and speed of diagnosing celiac disease, a chronic autoimmune condition affecting millions globally.
Understanding Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is characterized by an abnormal immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The prevalence of this disorder is approximately 1 in 100 worldwide, with symptoms that can range widely, often complicating timely diagnoses. For those predisposed, the consumption of gluten can lead to the formation of autoantibodies and damage to the small intestine.
The Need for Efficient Diagnostics
The average time from the onset of symptoms to a definitive celiac disease diagnosis often exceeds four years. The introduction of the MosaiQ AiPlex CD multiplex assay is designed to bridge this gap and provide healthcare providers with a syndromic approach to testing. With just a 20 μl patient sample, the test can simultaneously analyze five critical markers, significantly streamlining laboratory workflows and enhancing patient care.
Features of the MosaiQ AiPlex CD Assay
The MosaiQ AiPlex CD multiplex assay was awarded IVDR-CE certification in August 2024, positioning it as a reliable diagnostic tool. Key features include:
- - Syndromic Testing: This allows for both inclusion and exclusion of celiac disease based on a comprehensive assessment.
- - Comprehensive Analysis: The test integrates both IgA and IgG isotypes, enabling a holistic view of each patient's situation.
- - Rapid Results: Designed for high throughput, it can process up to 425 disease markers per hour, presenting results faster than traditional methods.
- - User-Friendly Workflow: The system’s automation minimizes manual errors and reduces the reliance on consumable materials, thereby promoting efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
CEO
Manuel O. Méndez expressed excitement about the submission, stating,
“Our MosaiQ AiPlex CD solution fulfills the urgent need for a multiplex approach in accelerating the diagnosis of celiac disease, enabling quicker treatment interventions that provide patients with the relief they desperately need.”
