The News
We are pleased to announce that Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) has granted approval for the ENBOARD clinical study (Evaluation of Nasal Biomarkers for Objective Assessment of Disease Severity in Respiratory Disorders). This milestone allows us to move forward with participant recruitment and data collection for one of the most comprehensive nasal biomarker studies conducted to date.
The ENBOARD study aims to establish correlations between nasal molecular biomarkers and disease severity in patients with chronic respiratory conditions, including asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, and COPD. Additionally, the study will validate the tolerability and performance of the ABEL nasal microsampler, a non-invasive device designed to collect high-quality nasal fluid samples for biomarker analysis.
With this approval, we are set to launch recruitment at our clinical site, bringing us closer to transforming respiratory disease monitoring through biomarker-driven insights.
Why This Matters
Respiratory diseases remain a significant global health burden, yet existing diagnostic tools rely heavily on subjective measures and invasive procedures. ENBOARD seeks to:
✅ Advance biomarker-driven precision medicine by identifying objective molecular signatures linked to disease severity.
✅ Enhance patient outcomes by supporting early intervention and more effective treatment strategies.
✅ Validate novel sampling technologies like ABEL to improve accessibility and ease of respiratory diagnostics.
With Bellberry’s approval, we can now proceed with rigorous clinical validation, bringing us one step closer to integrating nasal biomarkers into routine clinical practice.
What’s Next?
Next, we will initiate participant recruitment at our clinical site, conduct first-in-human studies using the ABEL microsampler, and begin analyzing biomarker data to establish correlations with disease activity and treatment response.
These findings will support regulatory and commercial pathways for biomarker-based diagnostics, with preliminary results contributing to scientific publications and further validation efforts.
