DiaSorin launches the LIAISON® B·R·A·H·M·S MR-proADM™ test
DiaSorin, a global leader in the In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) field, with expertise in developing, producing, and marketing reagent kits for diagnostic laboratories for more than 50 years has launched and commercialized the LIAISON® B·R·A·H·M·S MR-proADM™ chemiluminescent immunoassay in all countries accepting CE mark.
The launch follows a Supply and Licensing Agreement signed with Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, in 2022.
MR-proAD is an endothelial marker, useful in the Emergency and Intensive Care departments to assess progression as well as severity of a disease.

MR-proADM
DiaSorin and Thermo Fisher Scientific enter into a partnership on B·R·A·H·M·S MR-proADM for precise assessment of disease severity in critical care
DiaSorin and Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, entered in a new and long-term agreement on Thermo Fisher’s biomarker testing mid-regional adrenomedullin (B·R·A·H·M·S MR-proADM). The agreement expands an already long-standing relationship between the companies for the biomarker testing using Thermo Fisher’s procalcitonin (B·R·A·H·M·S PCT). DiaSorin will develop and commercialize the new chemiluminescent immunoassay, LIAISON® B·R·A·H·M·S MR-proADM™, for the quantification of MR-proADM in human plasma samples. The new test will be part of DiaSorin’s assay portfolio for the automated LIAISON® CLIA analyzer family and will subsequently increase the availability of this biomarker for the diagnosis and critical care of patients with a first launch in Europe. MR-proADM is an endothelial marker that accurately indicates disease severity and progression due to organ dysfunction in patients suffering from, for example, infectious disease or sepsis. Recent publications (Gonzales Del Castillo et al., Eur J Intern Med 2021; 88:104-113; Saeed et al., Crit Care 2019; 23 (1):40) show that MR-proADM also identifies medically stable patients, which allows to de-escalate therapy or patient transfer to a lower level of care. The clinical utility of MR-proADM leads to an economic benefit by an improved allocation of hospital resources.

MR-proADM / COVID-19
Midregional proadrenomedullin safely reduces hospitalization in a low severity cohort with infections in the ED: a randomized controlled multi-centre interventional pilot study
The midregional fragment of proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is known to provide accurate short-, mid- and long term prognostic information in the triage and multi-dimensional risk assessment of patients in the emergency department (ED). In two independent observational cohorts MR-proADM values identified low disease severity patients without risk of disease progression in the ED with no 28 days mortality that wouldn´t require hospitalization...

Effectiveness of Mid-Regional Pro-Adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) as Prognostic Marker in COVID-19 Critically Ill Patients: an Observational Prospective Study
Due to the lack of validated biomarkers to predict disease progression and mortality in COVID-19 ICU-patients, we tested the effectiveness of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in comparison to C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in predicting outcome.

MR-proADM / COVID-19
Adrenomedullin in COVID-19 induced endotheliitis
Despite the exponential growth in research following the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 and subsequent COVID-19 pandemic, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms in COVID-19 patients remain poorly understood. The increased incidence of cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications, immune cell deactivation and sepsis-like multiple organ failure suggests the involvement of multiple pathways.

COVID-19 and scarce hospital resources: B·R·A·H·M·S MR-proADM for risk stratification to support decisions on the required level of care
The biomarker mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) allows an easier and more accurate risk assessment in pneumonia patients compared to standard clinical scores (e.g. SOFA), independent of etiology, i.e. viral, bacterial or combined infection. Thus, MR-proADM testing is a useful tool to improve early detection of organ dysfunction and progression to sepsis and septic shock. In conjunction with clinical evaluation and other laboratory findings, MR-proADM can be used as an aid to support decision on patient disposition.

Procalcitonin (PCT)
Validity of B·R·A·H·M·S’ patent confirmed by German Federal Patent Court
Again, B·R·A·H·M·S GmbH (B·R·A·H·M·S) has successfully defended one of its many patents relating to Procalcitonin (PCT) in diagnostics and therapy around sepsis and infectious diseases. In a judgment pronounced on 23 July 2019, the German Federal Patent Court confirmed the validity of the German part of B·R·A·H·M·S’ European patent (EP 2 301 626 B1), and completely rejected a revocation action instigated by Radiometer GmbH and Radiometer Medical ApS.
B·R·A·H·M·S’ patent relates to the use of antibiotics in the treatment of a specific group of patients having defined PCT levels. The broad protection conferred by this patent is justified by the fundamental and innovative nature of the patented invention, which has been recognized and acknowledged by the Federal Patent Court’s in its decision to maintain the patent as granted. Because of this the Court held Radiometer liable to pay all court fees and to reimburse the attorney’s fees incurred by B·R·A·H·M·S for its successful defense.
B·R·A·H·M·S welcomes this decision and continues to vigorously defend and enforce its patent rights relating to PCT in Germany and worldwide.
