29.2.2024 19:31:27 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Sebia, a global specialty diagnostic company providing innovative solutions for screening and diagnostics in oncology, metabolic diseases, genetic disorders and autoimmune diseases, today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the FLC Kappa & Lambda assays. These are the first EIA tests receiving 510(k) from the FDA for the quantitative detection of both kappa and lambda free light chains in human serum specimens, intended for both aid of diagnosis and monitoring of Multiple Myeloma and Immunoglobulin Light-Chain (AL-) amyloidosis.
Clinical evaluation of Sebia FLC kappa and FLC lambda assay has shown comparable clinical sensitivity with the Freelite assay (96.6% on 177 samples from patients diagnosed with MM) and improved clinical specificity (85.1% on 189 non-myeloma/non-amyloidosis subjects with various clinical conditions). These excellent performances have been notably highlighted in the Willrich et al publication released in 2022.
“As a global leader for multiple myeloma testing, Sebia expands its offer in the U.S. with this new solution, easily adaptable to automated immunoassay instruments for a high throughput processing. The ELISA format overcomes main challenges in analytical performance often seen in alternative testing methods” said Arnaud Collin, Sebia Group Vice President Global Regulatory Affairs & Quality.
