Prolocor Announces Publication in Journal of Invasive Cardiology. Prolocor pFCG Test is a Powerful Prognostic Marker of Ischemic Risk Early After Myocardial Infarction (MI).

  • The hazard ratio (HR) for the primary endpoint was (3.84, p = 0.0009) in the first month

  • The Prolocor pFCG™ test has the potential to help providers reduce 30-day readmission rates for Acute MI, an important criterion for CMS penalties.

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2025 / Prolocor, Inc., a healthcare startup developing the innovative diagnostic Prolocor pFCGTM test that identifies patients at higher and lower risk of thrombotic events (heart attack, stroke, and death), announced the publication entitled Prognostic Implications Over Time of Platelet FcɣRIIa Expression in Patients With Myocardial Infarction: A Secondary Analysis in the Journal of Invasive Cardiology.Prolocor Logo

In an 800-patient multicenter study, patients with an acute heart attack had pFCG measured and were followed for up to three years. In this time-to-event analysis, the hazard ratio (HR) for the primary composite endpoint in all subjects was greatest during the first month (3.84, P = .0009), and the HR for the first 6 months was 2.90 (P = .00005). Similar trends were apparent for patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and those treated with medical therapy alone.

"The Prolocor pFCG™ test represents a breakthrough in risk stratification for patients recovering from myocardial infarction. By accurately identifying individuals at higher risk of ischemic events in the critical early months after myocardial infarction (MI), this test empowers clinicians to make well-informed decisions about treatment strategies," said David Schneider, MD, FACC, FAHA, Prolocor Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer. "As we work towards integrating this tool into clinical practice, our ultimate goal is to balance the risk of ischemic events with that of bleeding to improve patient outcomes by enabling personalized care."

"These findings demonstrate the power of the pFCG™ test to stratify risk of recurrent ischemic events after acute MI - particularly in the first 3 to 6 months of follow-up. If future studies demonstrate that use of tailored antiplatelet therapy based on this biomarker can lead to reduced ischemic and/or bleeding complications, the resulting improved outcomes could lead to substantial cost savings for payers as well as increased hospital revenues in settings where readmission penalties are used to incentivize high quality care," said David J Cohen, MD, MSc, Director of Clinical and Outcomes Research Cardiovascular Research Foundation & St Francis Hospital, Roslyn, NY, US.

Peter DiBattiste, MD, FACC, FAHA, CEO and Co-Founder said, "At Prolocor, we are committed to advancing patient care through innovative diagnostic solutions. The Prolocor pFCG test™ marks a significant step forward in our efforts to provide clinicians with the tools they need to better understand and manage ischemic risk after myocardial infarction. By accurately stratifying patient risk, we can empower healthcare providers to personalize treatment plans that balance the risk of ischemic events with bleeding concerns."
