About Sera Prognostics, Inc.
Sera Prognostics is a leading health diagnostics company
dedicated to improving the lives of women and babies through
precision pregnancy care. Sera's mission is to provide early,
pivotal pregnancy information to improve the health of mothers and
newborns, resulting in reductions in the costs of healthcare
delivery. Sera has a robust pipeline of innovative diagnostic tests
focused on the early prediction of preterm birth risk and other
complications of pregnancy. Sera's precision medicine PreTRM® Test
reports to a physician the individualized risk of spontaneous
premature delivery in a pregnancy, enabling earlier proactive
interventions in women with higher risk. Sera Prognostics is
headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.
About Preterm Birth
Preterm birth is defined as any birth before 37 weeks' gestation
and is the leading cause of illness and death in newborns. The 2023
March of Dimes Report Card shows that, for the last five
consecutive years, more than one in ten infants is born prematurely
in the United States. Prematurity
is associated with a significantly increased risk of major
long-term medical complications, including learning disabilities,
cerebral palsy, chronic respiratory illness, intellectual
disability, seizures, and vision and hearing loss, and can generate
significant costs throughout the lives of affected children. The
annual health care costs to manage short- and long-term
complications of prematurity in the United States were
estimated to be approximately $25 billion for 2016.
About the PreTRM® Test
The PreTRM® Test is the only broadly validated, commercially
available blood-based biomarker test that provides an early,
accurate and individualized risk prediction for spontaneous preterm
birth in asymptomatic singleton pregnancies. The PreTRM® Test
measures and analyzes proteins in the blood that are highly
predictive of preterm birth. The PreTRM® Test permits physicians to
identify, during the weeks 18 through 20 of pregnancy, which women
are at increased risk for preterm birth and its complications,
enabling more informed, personalized clinical decisions based on
each woman's individual risk. The PreTRM® Test is ordered by a
medical professional.
