NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: INBS) ("INBS” or the "Company”), a medical technology company delivering intelligent, rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, today announced the successful completion of in-clinic testing proposed to the FDA earlier this year in the Company's clinical study plan. The clinical studies are a key element of the Company's 510(k) submission, designed to demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of its sweat-based testing method.

The studies included a pharmacokinetic (PK) study, which aimed to demonstrate that the measurement of drugs in fingerprint sweat delivers results comparable or superior to other specimen matrices, such as blood, saliva and urine. In addition to the PK study, a method comparison and usability study was conducted to validate the accuracy of the Company's fingerprint sweat drug screening method in the hands of intended users. 

The clinical phase of the PK study concluded in June 2024, with all laboratory analyses completed and data currently under review. The method comparison and usability studies, carried out across three sites, involved 135 subjects who were randomly dosed with codeine and then tested using the Company's drug screening system. The accuracy of the screening system results will be assessed relative to a traceable, laboratory-based reference method. "Executing these clinical studies required diligence and collaboration across multiple functions within Intelligent Bio Solutions and our CRO partners, CenExel and Cliantha,” said Daniel Brown, Head of Clinical Affairs at INBS.

"Completion of these in-clinic studies marks a significant achievement for our team and brings us closer to our goal of obtaining FDA 510(k) Notification clearance,” said Harry Simeonidis, President and CEO at INBS. "The early feedback on results from these studies demonstrates the potential of our fingerprint-based testing method to provide a non-invasive, reliable alternative to traditional drug testing methods and address the needs of diverse sectors, including workplaces and government agencies.”

With the in-clinic testing phase now complete, INBS is preparing for the next steps in its FDA submission process. Achieving FDA clearance will enable the Company to market its product as a clinically validated tool, paving the way for adoption in the US and potentially transforming the landscape of drug screening. The Company expects clinical data analysis to be completed in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024 and to submit the 510(k) package during the same quarter.
