Quanterix Announces First Collaborations with Five Health Networks to Aid the Diagnosis and Clinical Management of Individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease - Seite 2

“New resources available to aid in diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease have contributed to a more optimistic environment for AD patient care,” said Kirk Erickson, PhD, director of translational neuroscience at the AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute. “With simplified, affordable, non-invasive testing methods, physicians can proactively evaluate and monitor patients with memory concerns. The availability of blood-based biomarker testing to the AdventHealth network has the potential to help a wide population concerned about mild cognitive impairment and aid physicians in their diagnosis.”

"As we see how well blood measures of p-Tau 217 perform," said Dr. Brad Dickerson, MD of Mass General Neurology and Harvard Medical School, "it is exciting to plan for this new tool in our workflow to make an early, accurate diagnosis if a patient is suspected of having Alzheimer's disease."

“In our pursuit to build the global testing infrastructure for Alzheimer’s disease, Quanterix is pleased to work with several health systems whose combined networks treat millions of patients,” said Masoud Toloue, CEO of Quanterix. “There is a critical need for easily accessible, time- and cost-effective diagnostic tools for Alzheimer’s. By working with these leading hospitals, we are taking an important step just as disease modifying therapies become available to patients suffering from this disease.

Quanterix’s commitment to establishing the industry standard for accuracy continues to position the company as a critical partner for AD testing. Beyond these five health systems, Quanterix is initiating partnerships with reference laboratories and hospitals globally to enable patients with cognitive symptoms consistent with Alzheimer’s disease to be tested.
