Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Biomarkers
![IPF](https://rbm.q2labsolutions.com/hubfs/RBM%20images/Website/IPF.png)
Rules-Based Medicine offers 11 blood-based biomarkers to accelerate your development of new therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). These biomarkers were chosen in collaboration with the Prognostic Lung Fibrosis Consortium (PROLIFIC) using published data on potential prognostic markers.
RBM offers optimized and highly validated Luminex-based sandwich immunoassays of these biomarkers to support your IPF trials. These markers 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.
Development of a Multi-biomarker Assay for Serum Proteins by the Prognostic Lung Fibrosis Consortium (PROLIFIC)
RBM was featured in a posted presented at the American Thoracic Society’s annual meeting in May 2024. The poster—Development of a Multi-biomarker Assay for Serum Proteins by the Prognostic Lung Fibrosis Consortium (PROLIFIC)—highlighted RBM’s work in developing a set of biomarkers for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

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.
