PLEASANTON, California, December 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- El test detecta de forma confidencial HLA-B*5701 para ayudar a descender el riesgo de reacción de hipersensitividad de abacavir

Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) ha anunciado hoy que su test de control HLA-B*5701[1] ya está disponible comercialmente en Europa. El control HLA-B*5701 proporciona a los médicos medios para evitar la prescripción de fármacos a pacientes con un elevado riesgo de reacciones alérgicas debido a un fármaco denominado abacavir para el tratamiento de VIH y SIDA. 

"Estamos muy contentos de suministrar a los médicos medios para personalizar un tratamiento y prevenir a los pacientes de experimentar eventos adversos", indicó Paul Brown, Ph.D. y responsable de Roche Molecular Diagnostics. "Este nuevo test podría ayudar a mejorar el tratamiento de los pacientes con VIH y proporcionar un tratamiento de la enfermedad que sea más seguro".

Tal y como ha recomendado el US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), la European AIDS Clinical Society y el International AIDS Society-USA Panel (IAS)[2], [3], [4], todos los pacientes deberán ser sometidos a control para el alelo HLA-B*5701 antes de comenzar o volver a empezar un tratamiento con abacavir o con medicamentos que contengan abacavir. Evitar una terapia que contiene abacavir en pacientes positivos de HLA-B*5701 reducirá de forma considerable el riesgo de desarrollo de reacciones de hipersensitividad a (HSR) clínicamente sospechosas.

Acerca de HLA-B*5701

Abacavir es el medicamento de prescripción usado como tratamiento para el VIH y el SIDA. El HSR grave y a veces mortal causado por la terapia con abacavir suele ser mucho más común en pacientes con un alelo concreto de antígenos humanos de leucocitos (HLA), HLA-B*5701, [5], [6]. El US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) y el International AIDS Society-USA Panel (IAS) han recomendado que todos los pacientes sean controlados antes de comenzar un régimen que contenga abacavir.

Acerca del sistema COBAS® AmpliPrep / COBAS® TaqMan®

El Roche HLA-B*5701 Screening Test se ha diseñado para usarse con el sistema completamente automatizado COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan®[1].  La plataforma combina el instrumento COBAS® AmpliPrep para la preparación automatizada de muestras y el analizador COBAS® TaqMan® o el pequeño analizador COBAS® TaqMan® 48 para automatización en tiempo real de la ampliación y detección PCR. El sistema COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan cuenta con un procesamiento paralelo con otros ensayos de diagnosis molecular principales destinados a las enfermedades médicamente importantes (virus de la hepatitis B, virus de la hepatitis C y virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana). Las enzimas propias de Roche AmpErase también están incluidas en cada test, y se han diseñado para prevenir la contaminación cruzada de las muestras y laboratorios.

Acerca de VIH-1

Según las estimaciones de UNAIDS, 33,3 millones de personas vivían con VIH en el mundo en el año 2009. Ese mismo año, unos 2,6 millones de personas se infectaron por primera vez con VIH - casi un 20% menos que a finales de los años 90[7]. El tratamiento antirretroviral altamente activo (HAART) y el test de la carga viral, un test que determina la cantidad de VIH que circula, han contribuido al aumento sin parar de la esperanza de vida para las personas infectadas por VIH en 13 años[8].
