4. Press-Release
US FDA Extends License of the GVK BIO
Biomarker database
February 4, 2013: GVK Biosciences (GVK BIO) today announced that it is
extending its Clinical Biomarker Database (GOBIOM) license to the Biomarker
Qualification Group of the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). The
GOBIOM database, which has the latest and recently updated information on all
the biomarkers reported in various clinical and preclinical studies, will be
beneficial to the USFDA in its Biomarker Qualification Process.
The GOBIOM database is a comprehensive compilation of all the clinically
evaluated, exploratory and preclinical biomarkers associated with different
therapeutic areas reported in global clinical trials, clinical and preclinical studies.
GOBIOM contains information on 20,000 biomarkers comprising of biochemical,
genomic, imaging, metabolite, cellular and physiological markers, along with
multiple data points comprising of experimental, analytical, clinical and statistical
data with their qualifications under different medical interventions.
Sreeni Devidas, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Informatics said “The
collaboration with the USFDA has helped GVK BIO in developing the safety
biomarker content in GOBIOM. The interconnectivity between organ toxicities to
the drug, dose and population was developed with equal emphasis on its
preclinical qualification. Biomarker analysis tools were integrated into the
database in a manner that has facilitated the user to make a comparative
analysis between the biomarkers of their interest. We look forward to continue
working and collaborating with the FDA with a view to enhancing the utility of the
product further.”
