Trinity Biotech Receives Regulatory Approval to Begin FDA-Cleared PreClara鈩� Preeclampsia Testing Service

New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) clinical laboratory permit facilitates Q3 2025 launch of the FDA-cleared PreClara鈩� Ratio (sFlt-1/PlGF) biomarker test for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

DUBLIN, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trinity Biotech plc (Nasdaq: TRIB), a commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on human diagnostics and diabetes management solutions, including wearable biosensors, today announced that this week its New York, reference laboratory has received regulatory approval from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to begin providing the FDA-cleared PreClara鈩� Ratio (sFlt-1/PlGF) biomarker test for preeclampsia risk assessment. The service is planned to be rolled out in Q3 2025.

This approval marks a significant milestone in Trinity Biotech鈥檚 maternal health strategy and strengthens its position in the U.S. diagnostics market. The PreClara鈩� test, provides clinicians with time-sensitive, clinically actionable insights to support informed decision-making for patients hospitalised with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Approximately 500,000 women in the United States are affected annually by hypertensive pregnancy disorders, a leading cause of maternal and neonatal complications. The PreClara鈩� Ratio test helps assess the likelihood of progression to severe preeclampsia, enabling more targeted and timely care for this high-risk population. Recent U.S.-based studies published in March 2025 demonstrated potential neonatal cost savings exceeding $10 million per 1,000 patients¹ when the test is incorporated into standard care, primarily through reduced preterm deliveries and NICU admissions.

The NYSDOH approval of the sFlt-1/PlGF testing service further lays critical groundwork for the anticipated commercial introduction of PrePsia鈩�, Trinity Biotech鈥檚 proprietary preeclampsia risk assessment technology designed for use in early pregnancy.

About Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a rapidly progressive hypertensive disorder affecting approximately 5-8% of pregnancies², characterized by sudden onset high blood pressure and an associated sign of organ dysfunction like protein in the urine or severe headache. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial, as preeclampsia significantly contributes to maternal morbidity, mortality, and premature births. In the United States, the condition already accounts for approximately 11%³ of maternal deaths and 15%⁴ of premature births, with cases nearly doubling since 2007⁵.

PreClara Ratio (sFlt-1/PlGF) Intended Use
The PreClara Ratio (sFlt-1/PlGF) is to be used in conjunction with other laboratory tests and clinical assessments to aid in the risk assessment of pregnant women (singleton pregnancies between 23+0 and 34+6/7 weeks gestation) hospitalized for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (preeclampsia, chronic hypertension with or without superimposed preeclampsia, or gestational hypertension) for progression to preeclampsia with severe features (as defined by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) within two weeks of presentation. The PreClara Ratio must be calculated using the B路R路A路H路M路S sFlt-1 KRYPTOR and the B路R路A路H路M路S PlGF plus KRYPTOR results measured on the B路R路A路H路M路S KRYPTOR analyzer.
