Calypte Reports Continued Positive Results of Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 Oral Fluid Rapid Test Evaluations at the 4th Annual AIDS Conference in Sydney, Australia

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., July 23, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CBMC), medical diagnostic tests manufacturer for the rapid detection of antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) announced today the results, including positive cost and social implications, of a field evaluation of its Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT (oral fluid) rapid test in Tanzania. The results of the evaluation are being presented this week in a poster at the 4th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention in Sydney, Australia. Posters are scientific research publications presented in a display form for broad audience viewing, and have the advantage of providing an opportunity for extensive interaction between conference attendees and the poster authors.
The field evaluation was conducted on 1,055 clients at the African Medical & Research Foundation ("AMREF") ANGAZA Voluntary Counseling and Testing ("VCT") centers in Tanzania, a Non-Government Organization ("NGO"). ANGAZA is one of AMREF's primary projects in Tanzania; its objectives are to increase access to quality counseling for VCT centers as an entry to a continuum of HIV/AIDS care and prevention and to establish community care support for HIV positive clients. Of the clients tested at the ANGAZA center, 12%, or 123 clients, tested positive for HIV. The poster reported that the accuracy of the Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT test was 100%, better than that of a comparable rapid blood test. (Calypte's rapid blood test was not evaluated in this study.). The poster also concluded that the evaluation "yielded a significant reduction in the cost of testing."

Roger Gale, Calypte's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We believe that oral fluid testing using our Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT test will become the standard of care in many settings based on its continued strong clinical results coupled with the social and cost advantages of oral fluid testing. Our internal research has determined that the overall cost of oral fluid testing is less than that of blood testing. Oral fluid testing permits a healthcare worker to educate a group of clients simultaneously rather than requiring the individual attention demanded by all blood tests due to the administration, and blood handling and disposal requirements of blood-based tests. This is a significant advantage in resource-constrained settings requiring high client throughput. There are no other costs required to perform an oral fluid test and oral fluid has the obvious advantages of safety for both the client and healthcare worker and no hazardous disposal issues."

"We look forward to continuing to work with important NGOs like AMREF in Tanzania and elsewhere. We plan to support AMREF in their efforts to validate other aspects of HIV oral fluid rapid testing," Mr. Gale continued.

Mr. David Ocheng, a Medical Laboratory Technologist and project manager of AMREF who coordinated the field evaluation at ANGAZA elaborated, "We questioned the over 1,000 clients in this study on whether they would prefer a blood test or an oral fluid test, and, although they had consented to both for this to be a valid study, over 76.7% responded that they would prefer the oral procedure. We expect to now follow this question with a formal study on acceptance and welcome Calypte's support for this project. We believe acceptance of oral fluid testing has important implications, as our ability to increase the testing rate will have a direct correlation with our ability to then treat and care for HIV positive individuals. Ultimately, this is the best alternative screening method to support efforts to control the epidemic -- a very important goal of all of us involved in Tanzania."

Professor Willy Urassa of Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences in Tanzania ("MUCHS"), the lead investigator of this field study, commented, "Our study concluded that the test is indeed more cost effective than a blood test. This is one of the elements that would influence policy and decision makers in considering alternative rapid testing methods in the country. The results of sensitivity and specificity cannot be overemphasized, but when one considers overall cost, safety and acceptance, what will be left is to educate the public on the existence of alternative rapid testing methods through proper Government channels."

"We see that in many settings oral fluid testing can and should become the test of choice," Professor Urassa concluded.

Calypte Biomedical Announces Successful Conclusion of Internal Trials


Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB:CBMC), a  developer, manufacturer and marketer of HIV diagnostic tests, today  announced successful completion of internal studies of its new Aware  HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid test for the US and international markets.


"I am pleased that Calypte's new Aware HIV-1/2 rapid test has been  successful in these studies. We strongly believe that our product has  the potential to significantly improve HIV testing and early diagnosis," said Adel Karas, Chairman and CEO of Calypte.

The trials were performed at two sites – one in South Africa and one in  the US – and generated data from 577 subjects at various levels of risk  for HIV infection. In combined results, Calypte's new Aware HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid test showed an accuracy of 100%.

"We believe that we have a test that performs as well as any other  HIV-1/2 oral fluid test in the market," said Richard George, former CEO  of Calypte, who is currently a scientific advisor to the company.

Based on these promising results, Calypte has contacted the FDA and  started the process to conduct clinical trials in the second half of  2011.

her ist wo wir die hier richtig gezockt haben. Aber zum Einsteigen müsste man jetzt wissen zum wievieltem mal aktien ausgegeben wurden und wieviele splitts wann bevorstehen usw. OTC Wahnsinn - leider nicht auf neuestem stand.  

 

Ja, in Frankfurt 0,029 €.

In den USA 0,029 $.

Euch ist schon klar das der Dollar schwächer ist als der Euro? ;)

Wer in Deutschland kauft, kauft mit Verlust ;)

 

wieder die alte MAsche ist oderob ich ein teilmeines Geldes wiedersehe ;-)  

wie die Anleger gnadenlos abrasiert wurden mit immer neuen Ankündigungen und großspurigen Versprechen.
Ich wüsste nicht warum die als OTC-Wert jetzt vertrauenswürdiger geworden sein soll.

hab mal ein par K investiert  

 

 

 

Die übelste Masche die an der OTC abgezogen wurde und wird, ist die plötzliche Ausgabe von x Millionen Aktien (um Rechnungen zu zahlen)oder die Mitteilung das aus deinen x millionen Aktien plötzlich nur noch einige tausend im Depot stehen weil mal eben (über Nacht) ein Splitt von 1:1000 durchgeführt wird - natürlich mit gleichzeitiger Mitteilung über die Ausgabe von 100000000 neuen Aktien zu 0,0001 $  

vor 5 oder 10 Jahren, weiß gar nicht mehr wie lange das her ist! Denke das ist wieder heisse Luft, wenn es dann darum geht das Produkt zu verkaufen, klappt das dann wieder nicht!
