Lophius Biosciences, a leader in the field of novel T cell based diagnostic test systems, reported today about its first successfully concluded clinical Proof of Principle study with respect to detection of active tuberculosis (TB) using its novel T-Track® TB test which is based on Lophius Biosciences proprietary Reverse T Cell Technology (RT Technology)

For further test development Lophius Biosciences has been awarded research funding of 140K EUR under the scope of the ZIM-solo-program from the German government. This funding should help to broaden the scope of the T-Track® TB tests with respect to detection of latent TB and potential patient-monitoring of treated TB subjects. The company will present first results at Medica mid November 2012 in Düsseldorf.
"We are very pleased to have accomplished clinical Proof of Principle for our second proprietary technology platform. Our short-term goal is geared towards test optimization and further validation in a bigger patient cohort" said Dr. Michael Lutz, CEO of Lophius Biosciences.
