Business Description
Calypte Biomedical Corporation is a leader in the development of a urine-based screening test for the detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 ("HIV-1"), the putative cause of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ("AIDS"). The Company has integrated several proprietary technologies to develop a test which, in clinical trials, detected the presence of HIV antibodies in urine with 99.33% sensitivity (as compared to blood). Specificity of the screening test with a companion western blot confirmatory test was 100%. Calypte believes that its proprietary urine-based test offers significant advantages compared to existing blood-based tests, including ease-of-use, lower costs, and significantly reduced risk of infection from collecting and handling specimens. On March 28, 1996, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") stating that the Company's HIV-1 urine screening test was approvable pending finalization of the package insert and other labeling. The Company's screening test, when used with the western blot confirmatory test for urine licensed from Cambridge Biotech Corporation ("Cambridge Biotech"), will provide the only complete urine-based HIV testing system.
