OpGen Announces Positive Top Line Data from Clinical Trial for Unyvero Urinary Tract Infection Panel
Study has enrolled over 1,800 patient samples at 4 U.S. clinical trial sites
Primary endpoint for Unyvero UTI for urinary tract infection shows overall weighted average sensitivity of 96.4% and overall weighted average specificity of 97.4% in preliminary analysis
Clinical performance results will be used to prepare submission package for FDA De Novo request
ROCKVILLE, Md., Dec. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OpGen, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPGN, “OpGen” or “the Company”), a precision medicine company harnessing the power of molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics to help combat infectious disease, today announced top line data from its successfully completed Unyvero UTI clinical trial. OpGen’s Unyvero UTI Panel tests for a broad range of bacterial and fungal pathogens as well as antimicrobial resistance markers directly from urine specimens. The test aims at quantitative detection of microorganisms.
The trial was designed to compare the performance of the Unyvero UTI Panel for detecting urinary tract infections (UTI), using clean-catch or catheter related urine samples. Preliminary analysis of all prospectively enrolled samples showed that the primary study endpoint was successfully met by demonstrating an overall weighted average sensitivity of 96.4% and overall weighted average specificity of 97.4% when compared against each trial site’s standard of care microbiology results. These findings are also in line with the interim analysis performed during the first part of the trial.
The trial included a total of 1,858 prospective and archived samples and has run over 3,300 Unyvero cartridges, including controls and reproducibility tests performed at the different trial sites. In addition to local microbiology laboratory results and additional standardized central microbiology data from an independent reference laboratory, OpGen is currently generating next-generation sequencing (NGS) data at its Rockville, MD, lab facility to also allow genotypic correlation of antibiotic resistance markers detected during the study. Based on the results of the unblinded data set, testing of additional contrived samples with well-characterized pathogen strains will complement and provide additional data points for low prevalence strains and antibiotic resistance markers. Based on all the data generated and analyzed, OpGen will now start preparing a De Novo request package for submission to the U.S. FDA in due course.
“Having completed the study as planned, we have successfully generated a large and very comprehensive study data set with multiple reference methods. We’d like to thank our study sites for their contributions in generating these data.”, said Johannes Bacher, Chief Operating Officer of OpGen. “Now that we have unblinded the results, we are excited to proceed with our in-depth analysis and compile the data submission to the FDA over the next few months.”
"Urinary tract infections represent a major healthcare burden, and diagnosing complicated UTI remains challenging. Microbiological cultures take several days to provide definitive results. Pathogenic microbial species may not be detected due to prolonged exposure to antibiotics, and complex polymicrobial infections may be difficult to elucidate. The Unyvero UTI Panel is a new and promising multiplex molecular test for the rapid detection of a comprehensive range of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and their associated resistance markers directly from urine in under five hours. Rapid results enable early diagnosis and effective antibiotic therapy to help prevent serious complications in UTI patients," said Dr. Christopher Emery, Associate Director of Clinical Microbiology, Indiana University Health Pathology Laboratory (IUHPL), Indianapolis, IN.
OpGen intends to present data from the study at a future conference as well as to submit for a peer reviewed publication.
