Proven Pharma Named Exclusive Distributor of the Clungene® SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM Rapid Serology Test

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Proven Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a service provider to the healthcare and life-science industries, announced today that it is the exclusive authorized U.S. distributor of the Clungene® SARS-CoV-2 Virus (COVID-19) IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette.

"Hangzhou Clongene Biotech, the company that manufactures this product, has an established track record producing effective diagnostic tests, and we are extremely pleased with the performance of the Clungene® SARS-CoV-2 Virus (COVID-19) IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette to reveal the presence of COVID-19 antibodies," Proven Pharma CEO Scott Wise said.

The test has been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and is awaiting approval. The FDA is currently allowing the test to be made available in the U.S. as the agency reviews its EUA application.

The FDA is allowing Clungene® SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM Rapid Serology Test to be made available under its new policy dated May 4, 2020. (Policy for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Tests During the Public Health Emergency). As required, the completed EUA template and associated documentation were submitted on May 15, 2020 to the FDA. The submission (EUA#201121) included updated validation reports and additional clinical data. Clungene's establishment registration & device number on the FDA's website is 3009414546.

The test, which should be administered by healthcare professionals, produces Rapid Point of Care results in 15 minutes from whole blood drawn with a finger prick. The diagnostic cassette does not require laboratory equipment or instrumentation, and users do not need to ship the sample to a lab. The manufacturer has performed two clinical studies of the test, both of which were submitted to the FDA, and Proven Pharma is in the process of conducting a third trial in the U.S.

Proven Pharma has distributed Hangzhou Clongene Biotech products in the U.S. since 2018. Proven Pharma has performed multiple site visits of the Hangzhou Clongene Biotech facilities for quality assurance and supply chain efficiencies. Founded in 2004, Clongene is registered to sell 24 products in the U.S., according to the FDA, including the Clungene® SARS-CoV-2 Virus (COVID-19) IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette.
