Unyvero UTI Panel

The Unyvero UTI panel is a novel application, with the overall trial design being very similar to previous studies. It aims to demonstrate the product’s clinical performance. As per the FDA’s guidance, the trial is aiming to enroll more than 1,500 prospective patient samples. These samples will be consolidated and complemented with archived, microbiology positive specimens. The primary endpoint of the study will be assay performance as defined by clinical sensitivity and specificity, as compared to culture-based standard of care microbiology.

About OPGN Stock’s Clinical Trials

The clinical trial will be conducted across multiple sites in the United States. Unyvero instrument setup and site initiation visits are ongoing following the Institutional Review Board’s approval of the study protocol at the trial sites. This is hoped to set the company up to meet requirements laid out by the U.S FDA. Study execution will be scaffolded by all of the OPGN stock’s group companies, as well as by external third party CRO and lab service providers. Data from the study will be used to support the subsequent submission to the FDA for clearance in the United States.
