APS ACTION has achieved increased international collaboration with internal and external investigators for outcome, interventional, and mechanistic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) studies. This has been linked to substantial progress in Core laboratory work, which has demonstrated that laboratories can achieve good agreement in performance of aPL assays by use of the same reagents, analyzer type, and protocols. APS ACTION will continue to identify gaps in the existing aPL/APS literature, design mechanistic studies to elucidate underlying mechanisms, and conduct prospective, large-scale clinical studies, all for the ultimate goal of early diagnosis and improved management of aPL-positive patients.
