FDA Breakthrough Device Designation

This meaningful award soon brings to reality a long-held dream: the ability to diagnose Parkinson’s early and accurately. How early? Our molecular-based technology allows doctors to diagnose Parkinson’s patients decades before any symptoms.

Yes, we can detect Parkinson’s disease decades before the patient shows any early signs of Parkinson’s.

How amazing is this? Soon, Amprion will offer this test commercially once the company obtains all the regulatory approvals.

To treat the disease, one must find out the disease exists in the body. The earlier, the better.

This empowers people with early prevention to delay or even stop the progression. Although Parkinson’s has no cure yet, Amprion’s goal is to find a cure through biomarker drug development and testing through targeted clinical trials. Biomarker testing equips us with biometrics data. And molecular data has been the missing link in drug development to develop treatments for Parkinson’s disease.

This award from the US Food and Drug Administration comes on the heels of Amprion’s decades’ long research pioneering the detection of misfolded proteins, including Abeta and Tau. These two prions are known as biomarkers driving Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders. Amprion aims to accelerate testing development and review and approval from the FDA to prepare for a commercial rollout.

Designed to speed up the development and review of medical devices, the Food and Drug Administration’s Breakthrough Devices Program strives to accelerate effective treatments and diagnosis of life-threatening, irreversible diseases. This new FDA breakthrough status will enable Amprion to accelerate the development and review of its diagnostic test for Parkinson’s to obtain final approval for product launches within the next 18 months.
