Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Biomarkers

Using published data on potential prognostic markers, PROLIFIC (Prognostic Lung Fibrosis Consortium) has selected 11 promising blood-based protein biomarkers for accelerating drug development for new IPF therapies. The 11 biomarkers have utility in characterizing:

  • Epithelial damage (CA 125, CYFRA 21-1, SP-D, CA-19-9, KL-6),
  • Fibrosis (MMP-7, Tenascin C),
  • Inflammation (CCL18, CXCL13, slCAM1),
  • Thrombosis (PAI-1).

In collaboration with PROLIFIC, RBM has developed optimized and highly validated Luminex based sandwich immunoassays of the 11 biomarkers to support IPF clinical trials.

Multi-Analyte Profile (MAP) Platform

The RBM MAP platform has been built and optimized to help researchers discover and validate biomarker patterns for use in their drug and diagnostic development efforts. Robust multiplexing on the microsphere-based Luminex technology combined with automated liquid handling, delivers more data in less time than other platforms, resulting in comparable data to traditional ELISA assays.

  • High throughput multiplexing with automated liquid handling reduces sample volume requirements
  • Enhanced accuracy with use of multi-level controls, standard curves, and proprietary blockers
  • High quality and reproducibility with stringent quality control parameters for reliable data

We ensure quality for every multiplex, every analyte, every sample, every time.
