New Accelerate Pheno® Landmark Study Validates Important Clinical Benefits to Be Presented at ECCMID 2021

Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AXDX) today announced that it will have 3 data presentations from its Improving Outcomes and Antibiotic Stewardship (IOAS) Study at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) to be held July 9–12, 2021. The purpose of this landmark study is to compare data before and after implementation of the Accelerate Pheno system across several hospitals to determine the effects of the system on treating patients with bloodstream infections.

The ePoster presentations are from real-world clinical use of the Accelerate Pheno system in diverse health systems and include endpoints for microbiology test turnaround time, antimicrobial use, and a subgroup analysis that measured 30-day mortality. The data further highlight the clinical benefits of using the Accelerate Pheno system, with significant improvements in multiple endpoints, including a statistically significant reduction in 30-day mortality in the Accelerate Pheno arm (AXDX) versus standard of care testing arm (SOC) in a subset of patients on ineffective empirical antibiotic treatment (6.0% in AXDX vs. 15.9% in SOC).

The Company’s presentations, which are available now on the ECCMID 2021 website, include:
