伊利诺伊州威尔梅特, Aug. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Monopar Therapeutics Inc.（Nasdaq: MNPR）今天宣布了一种检测方法的开发计划，这种方法有可能按发展为重度呼吸系统衰竭的可能性来对新冠肺炎患者进行分流。这项检测将使用Monopar拥有专利的单克隆抗体ATN-658来探测新冠肺炎患者血浆中的可溶性尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活物受体 (suPAR)。这项针对新冠肺炎患者的suPAR检测如果成功，将能够识别出重度呼吸系统衰竭的高危患者，以便提早进行治疗干预，或者基于患者的疾病特征对其进行分期，以给予相应的最佳治疗。一种使用ATN-658进行血液suPAR测量的酶联免疫吸附检测 (ELISA) 原型现已开发完成，Monopar目前正在与多方进行讨论，以便对ELISA或其他使用ATN-658的suPAR检测方法做进一步开发或实现商业化。其目标是对基于suPAR的检测进行新冠肺炎患者中的临床验证。将suPAR用于新冠肺炎患者分流得到了越来越多近期研究的支持。Rovina等人2020年的文章表明，入院时suPAR水平较高的患者发展为重度呼吸系统衰竭的可能性要高出17倍 (p= 0.000000012) 。Arnold等人2020年的文章表明， 在所有接受考查的生物标志物中，suPAR在预测结局方面（如转入重症监护室和死亡）表现最佳；Eugen-Olsen等人2020年的文章表明，新冠肺炎患者suPAR水平较低预示轻症结局。“suPAR正在成为一种重要的生物标志物，能够预测新冠肺炎、某些肺炎和败血症等以急性和重度全身炎症反应为特征的多种疾病的结局。” Monopar首席科学官Andrew Mazar博士表示。“这种suPAR检测可能有助于及早识别病情会迅速恶化的患者，从而大大改善对新冠肺炎患者的治疗。”suPAR是细胞表面被称为尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活物受体 (uPAR) 的表面锚定蛋白切割、血液循环形式。Monopar最近与NorthStar...
