New Technology of Fully Automatic Chemiluminescence TDM

Drug therapy is the basis of disease treatment. There are drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, toxic at high doses and ineffective at low doses. Drugs are safe and effective only within a certain range!

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a technology that specifically detects the concentration of drugs in blood or other body fluids. Based on the detection of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic of the drug in patients, a dosage regimen suitable for the individual can be formulated. Furthermore, the medication can be monitored and adjusted in a timely manner according to the dynamic changes in the patient's physiological state, drug-drug interactions, and other factors, so as to realize individualized precision drug treatment.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is the use of sensitive and reliable detection technology to measure the drug concentration in blood or other body fluids to analyze the relationship between concentration, curative effect, and toxicity, and then design or adjust the dosage regimen. The therapeutic drug concentration can be tailored to the individual. Drug therapy plans could be based on the patient’s safety, effectiveness, and financial situation, and provide patients with more efficient, reliable, and individualized precision treatment, which has broad application prospects. The current application of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring falls short of the clinical needs, mainly in the following aspects:


  • Therapeutic Drug Monitoring technology is an interdisciplinary technology that combines clinical medicine, laboratory medicine, and clinical pharmacy, which is relatively difficult.

  • The existing Therapeutic Drug Monitoring system stems from pharmacokinetic analysis, where the detection equipment is expensive, costing millions of dollars, the operation is cumbersome due to the complicated sample pretreatment, and most of test steps are manual , lacking full automation.

  • The traditional Therapeutic Drug Monitoring technology has a long detection cycle and cannot issue test results in time, so that timely and effective guidance of precise drug therapy cannot be achieved.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is of great value in guiding individualized precision treatment. Dr. Zhou, pertaining to the shortcomings of the current situation, what are the advantages of the fully automatic Chemiluminescent TDM technology at Diagreat?


Dr. Zhou

Our fully automatic chemiluminescent TDM technology is based on the use of self-developed monoclonal antibodies and the directional coupling of specific modified small molecule directional couple recognition technology, which can specifically recognize small molecule drugs and has high detection sensitivity. For example, Tacrolimus, the first-line drug to prevent rejection after liver and kidney transplantation, has achieved good therapeutic effects in clinical practice. However, due to the narrow therapeutic window and the large individual differences in pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, sensitivity, and tolerance. Different patients will have different blood drug concentrations when given the same dose of Tacrolimus. When the concentration is too low, the treatment is ineffective, but when the concentration is too high, Tacrolimus can easily elicit toxic side effects. Compared to our TDM technology, traditional monitoring methods have complicated operation, high cost, long detection time, few detected items, and the clinical results cannot be timely and effectively reported, Diagreat TDM one-stop chemiluminescence solution can realize one step report output, fully automated high-speed detection, stable and reliable results, and results can be output within minutes, which will be of great help especially for the Emergency Department. The detection equipment is small, performs up to 200 tests per hour, and is simple to maintain. It is suitable for laboratory/pharmaceutical departments of hospitals, etc., and can meet their high-precision and large-sample testing requirements.


Summary

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, as a pharmaceutical technology with precision treatment at its core, provides reliable support for rational therapy design in treatment for organ transplantation, infection, epilepsy, asthma, heart failure, and mental illness. We recently launched products that support the detection of, Risperidone, Linezolid, Paclitaxel, 5-Fluorouracil, and Voriconazole. What else is coming next in the TDM field, we will keep you updated.
