Nope! For some reason the link isn’t working. If you want to see it, It’s the latest post from Upfront on their LinkedIn page
“ Breaking News! We're thrilled to announce a pivotal step forward in stroke care! Upfront Diagnostics, in collaboration with HOSPITAL MENONITA CAGUAS INC, has officially launched the COPILOT clinical study in Puerto Rico.
This groundbreaking trial will evaluate our novel rapid blood test, LVOne, designed to accurately distinguish stroke types in minutes. This is a game-changer, especially for identifying Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO), where every second counts to drastically reduce long-term disability and save lives.
Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability, and this study represents a major milestone in addressing this critical public health challenge. As Dr. Juan Vicenty, Principal Investigator, emphasized, "This is important work for Puerto Ricans and the global community. We are proud to drive this disruptive trial forward.”
Dr. Joshua Bernstock MD, PhD, Chief Medical Director at Upfront Diagnostics, added: “This clinical study could open the door to transforming stroke management globally. We’re thrilled to see LVOne’s impact in real-world clinical settings.”
Dr. Rodolfo E. Alcedo Guardia, Co-Investigator and Chairman of Neurosurgery at Hospital Menonita, emphasized the urgency: “Stroke is a colossal problem, and many patients go untreated simply because we can’t diagnose them in time. This technology will change that.”
We are incredibly excited about the potential of LVOne to transform emergency stroke management globally. Stay tuned for updates as we work to set new standards for timely and equitable stroke care around the world!”
