An announcement from Gentian Diagnostics ASA ( (DE:6FK) ) is now available.

Gentian Diagnostics ASA has hit a setback in developing its NT proBNP assay, after internal investigations showed the current version does not perform robustly at low concentration ranges around key clinical cut-off levels. Management has decided to return the project to the optimisation phase and explore a redesign of the test, acknowledging higher development risk but aiming to determine whether a revised assay can still yield a viable, commercially relevant product.

As a result of the technical issues and required redesign work, the company cannot currently provide a reliable timeline for the Research Use Only release or the commercial launch of the NT proBNP assay and will present updated schedules in the second quarter of 2026. The delay, which also forces the postponement of a planned NT proBNP webcast, underscores execution risk in Gentian’s cardiac biomarker pipeline and may affect expectations around its heart failure diagnostics offering until clearer performance and timing data emerge.
