11 months, 3 weeks agoOpening a new frontier in the fight against atherosclerosis
PlaqueTec is pursuing a better understanding of the biological mechanisms of coronary artery disease (CAD) to advance the development of precision medicine.
CAD, where atherosclerotic plaque build-up narrows or blocks the arteries that supply blood to the heart, is a leading cause of death globally. Current treatment approaches are one-size-fits-all and therefore ineffective for many patients. To address this, PlaqueTec has developed a proprietary technology and data analysis platform to endotype patients and uncover potential biomarkers of coronary vascular function and plaque progression.
A more detailed understanding of patient endotypes will support drug development by identifying new targets in specific patient groups, reducing clinical trial sizes and costs, and increasing success rates, ultimately improving outcomes for patients.
PlaqueTec is pioneering the development of biomarker-based, cardiovascular personalised medicine strategies, using its novel Liquid Biopsy System, to transform the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Coronary Artery Disease - the leading cause of death worldwide.
