ProAxsis update
ProAxsis is headquartered in Belfast and is a diagnostics company. It has products related to early diagnosis and intensity of active protease biomarkers. NEATstik, a test developed by ProAxis Limited is to be used majorly for the detection of lung diseases. The BRIDGE, a study in bronchiectasis co-sponsored by the British Lung Foundation and the European Respiratory Society has published early data and successfully demonstrated the potential for NEATstik in the latest edition of European Respiratory Journal.
 In the published journal, the NEATstik® result is strongly related to the severity of lung disease, the presence of bacterial infection and the possible risk of disease/ infection progression. In addition, it is also believed that NEATstik® can assist clinicians in identifying lung diseases and patients with a higher risk of clinical exacerbation over the subsequent 12 months.
Dr David Ribeiro, CEO of ProAxsis said that NEATstik is a very effective test and the company looks forward to partner with clinicians to make this test available at centres.
