Savara Inc. launched aPAP ClearPath, a new serum-based blood test that can be used by physicians in the U.S. to obtain a definitive diagnosis of aPAP, a rare autoimmune lung disease mediated by autoantibodies targeting GM-CSF. Autoimmune PAP accounts for approximately 90% of all patients with PAP and has an estimated diagnosed prevalence of seven cases per million in the U.S. and similar or higher prevalence reported elsewhere in the world. The aPAP ClearPath test is a highly sensitive and specific quantitative immunoassay designed to detect aPAP GM-CSF autoantibodies in human serum.

The Company partnered with Trillium Health (trillium-health.com), a modern health solutions provider and a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified lab, to develop the simple, no-cost, and noninvasive test. Only a physician or healthcare provider can make a diagnosis of aPAP.
