  • “THE KEY GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO DEVELOP A DESIGN-LOCKED VERSION OF STI SCOUT, AN IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC (IVD) FOR THE DETECTION OF GONORRHEA AND CHLAMYDIA FROM MALE URINE AND FEMALE VAGINAL SWAB SAMPLES. THE TARGET PATHOGENS ARE NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE AND CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS. STI SCOUT WILL ENABLE PCR-LEVEL ACCURACY WITH THE CONVENIENCE AND COST OF RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING. COSTS OF GOODS SOLD ARE PROJECTED TO BE FAR LOWER THAN COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS, MAKING IT FINANCIALLY VIABLE TO ENTER GLOBAL LOW RESOURCE MARKETS. THE SCOUT PLATFORM INCLUDES A SCOUT HUB—A LOW-COST REUSABLE DEVICE—AND THE SCOUT CONNECT MOBILE APPLICATION FOR IOS AND ANDROID OS. TOGETHER, THESE ENABLE TESTING FOR A DEVELOPING MENU OF INDICATIONS, NOT JUST STIS, AND PERMIT RESULT TRACKING, SECURE SHARING, AND FOLLOW-ON CARE VIA TELEHEALTH. SCOUT WAS PREVIOUSLY AWARDED A CARB-X SEED AWARD CONTRACT TO DEMONSTRATE LOOP-DE-LOOP (LDL) CHEMISTRY WITH CRUDE PATIENT SAMPLES (URINE, VAGINAL SWABS). SCOUT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ALL MILESTONES WITHIN THE SEED CONTRACT AND DEMONSTRATED ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE IN POSITIVE AND PATIENT SPIKED SAMPLES THAT EXCEEDED THE TARGETS SET WITHIN THE CONTRACT. IN THIS DEVELOPMENT STAGE WORK, SCOUT WILL GENERATE ROBUST DATA AND DOCUMENTATION TO REACH DESIGN LOCK FOR STI SCOUT IN ADVANCE OF DOWNSTREAM FORMAL VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION ACTIVITIES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SUPPORT A WHO PREQUALIFICATION AND US FDA 510(K) CLEARANCE. SCOUT WILL COMPLETE ASSAY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES TO ENHANCE BOTH PERFORMANCE AND REGULATORY ALIGNMENT WITH WHO DRAFT TECHNICAL GUIDANCE. STI SCOUT PERFORMANCE AGAINST DESIGN INPUT REQUIREMENTS WILL BE ASSESSED ON THE INTEGRATED SCOUT SYSTEM (SCOUT HUB, SCOUT CONNECT APP) USING CONTROLLED TEST PROTOCOLS TO PROVIDE A SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND AND STATISTICALLY RIGOROUS EVALUATIONS. THE OUTCOME OF THIS PHASE WILL BE A CLEAR, DE-RISKED PATH TO INTERNATIONAL AND US COMMERCIALIZATION OF STI SCOUT, WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AND EARLY PERFORMANCE AND USABILITY DATA TO”
