Quidel announces availability of Triage PLGF assay


Quidel announced that the manufacturing of Quidel Triage PLGF Test is set to resume in 2019 and be commercially available outside the US for clinical use in Q1 2019. Knowledge of maternal circulating concentration of Placental Growth Factor, PLGF, a biomarker for placental dysfunction, aids in the early and accurate diagnosis of preterm pre-eclampsia and helps clinicians to accurately risk-stratify pregnant women resulting in more efficient use of healthcare resources and the potential for cost-saving to the healthcare system. In Quidel’s acquisition of the Triage business from Alere, ownership of the Triage PLGF product, together with the continued supply of product into key clinical studies, transferred to Quidel. Quidel has completed an internal review of unmet clinical needs in the management of pre-eclampsia and the strength of clinical evidence and has concluded that Quidel Triage PLGF Test is a competitive and medically necessary diagnostic test.
