Multi-center research project
Led by Professor Hou Xiaohua, from Wuhan Union Hospital of China, and supported by Xiamen Wiz Biotech Co., Ltd., the multi center clinical research project, "The predictive value of fecal calprotectin in the detection of patients with chronic organic diarrhea", was held online on March 28, 2023.
At this meeting, Professor Hou, an expert in drafting the Rome V criteria for functional bowel disease (IBS), the Vice President of the Digestive Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Leader of the Gastrointestinal Functional Disease Assistance Group of the Digestive Tract Diseases Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, was invited to serve as the chairman of the meeting. Twenty medical institutions representatives participated through the online meeting.
Professor Hou said that faecal calprotectin has been widely used in clinical practice, especially in inflammatory bowel disease. He emphasized that through literature research, he hoped to explore the role of faecal calprotectin in distinguishing functional diarrhea from organic diarrhea through this study, and explore the relationship between faecal calprotectin and different chronic organic diarrhea diseases.
As a supporting enterprise for this project, we, Xiamen Wiz Biotech Co., Ltd., are ready to work with all experts to assist in the smooth implementation of the project. Since having been engaging in the field of digestive tract for many years, we hope to fully utilize the professional advantages, drive clinical transformation and output through the effective integration of resources and technology, and provide true and effective data for the research and let more patients benefit from it.
Associate Professor Bai Tao from Wuhan Union Hospital of China introduced the research background and purpose, study design, inclusion criteria, and precautions of the project in detail; Dr. Liu Xinghuang, gave a detailed introduction to the project implementation rules and the purpose; Mr. Tang from Xiamen Wiz Biotech Co., Ltd., introduced the research results of Wiz towards the calprotectin, the detection instruments of Wiz, and the detection specifications that Wiz got so far, added that Wiz is ready to contribute any help to the research.
