World Bipolar Day 2023

Today we mark the World Bipolar Day, that is celebrated each year on March 30th. Earlier this week we announced the launch of our EDIT-B test, the world’s first CE-marked in-vitro blood test designed to differentiate Bipolar Disorder from Depression.

EDIT-B is a biological and objective tool that complements the various existing clinical scales, whose interpretation is empirical. EDIT-B measures the RNA editing of specific markers in the blood of patients, advancing precision psychiatry innovation and bringing biology into psychiatric clinical routine.

Together with our partners in the EDIT-B consortium we stand for Mental Health and commit to making positive impact on the lives of people affected by Bipolar Disorder and their loved ones.

ALCEDIAG and SYNLAB join forces in Europe to fight diagnostic delay of bipolar disorder with the EDIT-B™ test

PARIS and MILAN , March 27, 2023

EDIT-B: First-in-class CE-marked blood test differentiating bipolar disorder from depression

  • An estimated 2.3% of the European population is affected by bipolar disorder (BD)[1], a largely underestimated figure, since an average of 8-10 years passes between the appearance of symptoms and diagnosis[2]
  • To date, the diagnosis of BD is based on a psychiatric clinical examination of the patient, made by a psychiatrist.
  • BD is so difficult to diagnose because it is often confused with depression. Misdiagnosed patients may receive inappropriate treatment, which may even worsen their health condition.
  • To significantly reduce this diagnosis wondering, ALCEDIAG and SYNLAB are announcing, on the occasion of the 31st EPA congress, the availability of EDIT-B™, the world's first CE-marked in-vitro blood test designed to differentiate BD from depression.

EDIT-B™: a reliable, validated and rapid biological response to reduce the diagnostic delay and address an unmet medical need.
