Technical update from Aptamer 5th december...
Aptamer and Neuro-Bio have reached a key milestone in developing an Alzheimer's disease diagnostic test. Optimer binders targeting Alzheimer's biomarkers have been successfully integrated into a biosensor test and shown positive results in the analysis of clinical samples. Tests using spinal fluid and saliva samples from Alzheimer's patients and healthy controls demonstrated robust biomarker detection and a statistically significant differentiation between Alzheimer's patients and healthy controls.
These results demonstrate the diagnostic potential of Optimers and support their integration into point-of-care testing for clinical applications. Additionally, efforts are underway to adapt this technology for at-home diagnostic use via lateral flow tests, expanding its market potential and accessibility. The diagnostic market value for Alzheimer's disease was worth over $4.5 billion in 2023.
