Power3 Medical Products, Inc. (PWRM) announced that results for the early stage diagnosis from clinical validation trials of the NuroPro(R) PD test for Parkinson's disease are better than expected. The NuroPro PD test was developed to help clinicians distinguish patients with Parkinson's disease from "normal" individuals and patients with other neurological disorders. The NuroPro PD test, developed by Power3, utilizes a panel of blood serum protein biomarkers evaluated by biostatistical analysis to predict the probability that a patient has Parkinson's disease. The test is intended to solve a critical challenge facing physicians, clinicians, and patients for a quick, early stage and accurate diagnosis of the debilitating disease known as Parkinson's.
The latest results, from the completion of the first phase of clinical validation trials of the NuroPro(R) PD test, were found in blood serum samples from 52 Parkinson's disease patients and 28 age matched normal controls from the University of Thessaly, Greece, as well as 6 Parkinson's disease patients and 50 age matched normal controls from Banner Sun Health Research Institute, Sun City, Arizona.
They not only show a sensitivity of 93.3% for detection of mild, moderate and severe Parkinson's disease overall, as measured by two separate clinical scoring methods, but also that the sensitivity for early stage Parkinson's disease patients was 100%. The specificity of the test for correct diagnosis of normal individuals was 96.2%.
