Preeclampsia biomarkers and related systems and methods

a biomarker and preeclampsia technology, applied in the field of preeclampsia biomarkers, can solve the problems of non-ideal identification (or ruling out) of preeclampsia using the classical clinical symptoms of the disease, significant morbidity and mortality risks for both mothers and infants, and billions of dollars in healthcare costs annually

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method for identifying preeclampsia, a common and dangerous medical complication of pregnancy, by using a combination of biomarkers. The method can provide a more accurate and reliable diagnosis of preeclampsia, allowing for earlier treatment and preventive measures. The biomarkers used in the method include proteins, lipids, and other molecules that are measured using advanced techniques such as mass spectrometry and statistical analysis. The method can also help identify specific subgroups of preeclampsia and non-preeclampsia, and can be used to develop a system for detecting preeclampsia in pregnant women.

Problems solved by technology

The incidence of the disorder is generally considered to between 2% to 8% of all pregnancies, and the disorder carries significant morbidity and mortality risks for both mothers and infants.
Preeclampsia is the second largest cause of maternal / fetal deaths, and is responsible for approximately twenty billion dollars in healthcare costs annually.
The cause(s) and pathogenesis of preeclampsia remain uncertain, and the identification (or ruling out) of preeclampsia using the classical clinical symptoms of the disease is non-ideal.

reliminary Study Design

[0179]Samples of serum and urine for biomarker analysis were obtained from a Progenity Multicenter specimen procurement study, which was designed to, inter alia, identify biomarkers that improve the detection or ruling out of preeclampsia with improved performance relative to the sFlt / PlGF ratio method described by Zeisler et al. (NEJM 274(2017):13-22). More particularly, pregnant women who were 18 years or older (20 weeks to 39 weeks of gestation at first visit) with suspected preeclampsia (based on new onset symptoms, elevated blood pressure, proteinuria, edema or others) were selected for participation. Baseline procedures were performed, including collection of demographic, medical and obstetric histories, list of concomitant medications, weight, height, blood pressure, and other clinical information, as well as obtaining blood and urine samples for use in biomarker assays. After discharge, all patients in the study were followed by interim research visits...

ation of Protein Biomarkers

[0187]Serum samples collected according to a standard procedure from 68 patients (one non-preeclampsia and one preeclampsia sample failed quality control checks) were analyzed retrospectively. Briefly, filled red top blood collection tubes were allowed to clot at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, were centrifuged 20 minutes at 1300 g to remove the clot, and were then aliquoted for long term storage below −80° C. Hemolysis, date and time of blood collection, and date and time of freezing were recorded. Both single analyte analysis of suspected biomarkers (of Fibronectin, PlGF, sFlt1, and PAPP-A) and unbiased panel analyses of proteins associated with inflammation, immune response, oncology, organ damage, immunooncology, and metabolism (containing 92 biomarkers in each panel) were performed. PlGF was represented in both single analyte analysis and the unbiased panel analysis, whereas sFlt1, PAPP-A, and Fibronectin were not.

otein Screening for Distinguishing Nonpreeclampsia from Preeclampsia

[0192]A response screening of non-preeclampsia vs preeclampsia using ANOVA for each of the 552 markers was performed, defining a FDR LogWorth >2 as significance. A plot of FDR LogWorth vs Effect Size (FIG. 1A) was generated to analyze the value of single biomarkers for distinguishing Nonpreeclampsia vs PreE. Three biomarkers (CLEC4A, SYND1, and PlGF) meet the FDR LogWorth criteria for significance (>2), while 6 additional biomarkers (PGF, FES, TGF-alpha 2, APLP1, KIM1, and NOS32) show an FDR LogWorth more significant than most of the biomarkers. A summary of these top distinguishing markers is provided in Table 2; while visual representations of the data spread for each of the top 3 biomarkers for non-preeclampsia vs preeclampsia is shown in FIG. 1B.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods, kits, tests, and systems for detecting, predicting, monitoring, or ruling out preeclampsia in pregnant women. Also provided herein are novel diagnostic markers, methods of data analysis, assay formats, and kits employing such markers to improve one or more characteristics of a test for identifying or ruling out preeclampsia based on biomarkers from patient samples.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE[0001]This application is a continuation of PCT Application No. PCT / US2018 / 50893, filed on Sep. 13, 2018, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 558,184, filed Sep. 13, 2017 and titled PRECCLAMPSIA MARKERS, both which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Preeclampsia is a serious multisystem complication of pregnancy. The incidence of the disorder is generally considered to between 2% to 8% of all pregnancies, and the disorder carries significant morbidity and mortality risks for both mothers and infants. Preeclampsia is the second largest cause of maternal / fetal deaths, and is responsible for approximately twenty billion dollars in healthcare costs annually. In the United States, approximately one million women present with classical symptoms of preeclampsia (hypertension and / or proteinuria after the 20th month of gestation) each year.[0003]The cause(s) and pathogenesis of preeclampsia rema...
