| Subcontractor | Department of Health and Human Services | THERE IS AN URGENT UNMET NEED FOR RAPID, POINT OF CARE SOLUTIONS FOR STI IDENTIFICATION IN FRONTLINE, RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS. CONCURRENTLY, THERE IS A SHIFT TO ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE GUIDED THERAPY FOR PATIENT MANAGEMENT, ENSURING TREATMENT WITH THE MOST APPROPRIATE ANTIBIOTIC TO IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES WHILST RESERVING ANTIBIOTICS FOR WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED.
CURRENT ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING METHODS FAIL TO OFFER AFFORDABLE, TIMELY AND COMPREHENSIVE SUSCEPTIBILITY/RESISTANCE INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY IN RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS. SPEEDX AIMS TO DEVELOP AN AFFORDABLE, FAST (<60 MINS), POINT-OF-CARE TEST FOR THE DETECTION OF CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS (CT) AND NEISSERIA GONORRHEA (NG), AND, IN ADDITION, DETERMINING THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF NG TO THREE CHEAP, ORALLY ADMINISTERED ACCESSIBLE, ANTIBIOTICS: CEFIXIME, CIPROFLOXACIN, AND AZITHROMYCIN.
SPEEDX HAVE DEVELOPED A CULTURE-FREE, MOLECULAR SOLUTION TERMED INSIGNIA‎¢. INSIGNIA DETERMINES THE VIABILITY OF ORGANISM IN A SAMPLE AND THE MOLECULAR RESPONSE OF A VIABLE ORGANISM TO ANTIBIOTICS BY MEASURING APPROPRIATE DNA TRANSCRIPTION ACTIVITY. THE MEASURED CHANGE IN DNA TRANSCRIPTION ACTIVITY WILL BE USED TO INDICATE WHETHER THE ORGANISM IN THE INFECTION IS LIKELY TO RESPOND TO THE CHOSEN ANTIBIOTIC.
THE FUNDED STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE OF A CT-NG TEST UTILIZING INSIGNIA TECHNOLOGY ON THE QUANTUMDX Q-POC POINT OF CARE DEVICE. THIS DEVICE IS A PORTABLE, BATTERY OPERABLE, SAMPLE TO ANSWER DEVICE THAT CAN BE USED EVEN IN REMOTE SETTINGS, INCREASING ACCESS TO QUALITY DIAGNOSTICS FOR IMPROVED PATIENT CARE IN AREAS WHERE IT IS REALLY NEEDED. 4500004508 Parent award context Parent award agency: Department of Health and Human Services · Office of Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response Parent award NAICS: 541714 Parent award performance state: MA Parent award description: CARB-X GLOBAL ANTIBACTERIAL ACCELERATOR OTA View parent award on USAspending | — | $16,648 | Dec 4, 2023 | — – — |
