Lexington, MA – September 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Partner Therapeutics, Inc. (PTx) announced a collaboration with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Labcorp Drug Development to advance a new diagnostic approach to select immunoparalyzed sepsis patients that could benefit most from Leukine (sargramostim). Through advancement of a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) for monocyte HLA-DR, Partner Therapeutics will be able to identify sepsis patients exhibiting an immune suppressed, or immunoparalyzed (IP) state and clinically evaluate Leukine as a study therapy in these individuals. The ability to identify patients with IP sepsis enables a precision medicine approach to maximize clinical benefit from immune boosting study therapy with Leukine.
