COPD Biomarker Qualification Consortium Partners with Bio-Techne to Identify COPD Indicator

The COPD Foundation-sponsored COPD Biomarker Qualification Consortium announced that it has partnered with the Bio Techne Cor, a manufacturer of biotechnology products for life science research and diagnostics.

The partnership was established to evaluate the suitability of a soluble form of receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) as a predictive biomarker to support subject selection for clinical trials in emphysema. Increasing evidence suggests that serum sRAGE could serve as an indicator of the presence and/or progression of emphysema, a form of chronic obstructive disease (COPD). A validated commercial assay or test for sRAGE does not currently exist. The COPD Foundation, along with its partners in the CBQC and Bio-Techne, will be collaborating with a working group of industry and academic affiliates on the initiative.

“We are honored that the CBQC has chosen Bio-Techne as their development partner for this important test,” said Charles R. Kummeth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Techne. “We have a long history of innovation with different immunoassay technologies and biomarkers that can be applied here to ultimately help improve outcomes for emphysema patients.”

Since its inception in 2010, the CBQC has selected several important measures to be considered for qualification by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as tools for drug development. The initial measures/biomarkers selected were plasma fibrinogen (a blood biomarker), the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire, and the 6-minute walk test (an exercise test).

Since serum and plasma sRAGE levels can prospectively identify the subset of patients with COPD at greatest risk for emphysema progression, targeted drug/biologic development and treatments could be optimized by using sRAGE measurements. Several large cohort studies have reported sRAGE to be a strong marker of emphysema, even more so than airflow obstruction.

“The CBQC sRAGE working group is excited to partner with Bio-Techne on the qualification of serum sRAGE as a drug development tool. Bio-Techne is an industry leader in assay development and they bring a tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise to this effort,” stated John Yonchuk, Industry Working Group Co-Chair (GlaxoSmithKline).

Russell Bowler, Director of Program in Precision Medicine at National Jewish Health added, “Their provision of a fully validated bioanalytical assay for use in this qualification is an important part of the process and we look forward to working with them and with regulatory agencies to secure qualification of this new drug development tool.”

ABOUT The COPD Foundation:

The COPD Foundation was established to undertake initiatives that result in expanded services for COPD and to improve the lives of individuals affected by COPD. The Foundation’s activities focus on achieving these results through research, education and advocacy programs that will lead to prevention and a cure for this disease.
