OVERVIEW www.pacificedgedx.com
Pacific Edge Limited (NZX: PEB) is a New Zealand publicly listed, cancer
diagnostic company specialising in the discovery and commercialisation of
diagnostic and prognostic tests for better detection and management of
cancer. The company is developing and commercialising its range of Cxbladder
bladder cancer tests globally through its wholly owned central laboratories
in New Zealand and the USA. The company's products have been tested and
validated in international multi-centre clinical studies.
Pacific Edge has four proprietary, novel, accurate, molecular diagnostic
products in-market providing actionable results, and better detection and
management of urothelial cancer. Cxbladder Triage, Detect and Monitor are
available through the company's dedicated CLIA-certified laboratories for
customers in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and the USA. Cxbladder Resolve
launched in New Zealand in December 2016.
ABOUT Cxbladder Triage www.cxbladder.com
Cxbladder Triage combines the power of the genomic biomarkers with additional
phenotypic and clinical risk factors to accurately identify patients with
haematuria who have a low probability of bladder cancer and may not require a
more extensive urological evaluation. Cxbladder Triage is a tool for use by
clinicians and physicians in primary evaluation of patients with haematuria
and is intended to reduce the need for an expensive and invasive work-up in
patients who have a low probability of having urothelial carcinoma.
ABOUT Cxbladder Detect www.cxbladder.com
Cxbladder Detect enables the non-invasive detection of bladder and other
urinary tract cancers from a small volume of a patients' urine. Cxbladder
Detect was launched in 2013 in the USA and is commercially available in New
Zealand, Australia and the USA as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) from the
company's CLIA certified laboratories. Cxbladder Detect provides clinicians
with a quick, cost effective and accurate measure of the presence of the
cancer as an effective adjunct to cystoscopy.
ABOUT Cxbladder Monitor www.cxbladder.com
Cxbladder Monitor, the third test in the Cxbladder portfolio for urologists,
is a proprietary, non-invasive, molecular diagnostic test that combines
genomic biomarkers measured from a small quantity of a patient's urine, with
patient specific clinical factors to better monitor bladder cancer patients
for recurrence. Bladder cancer has a recurrence rate of 50-80% and requires
life-long surveillance. Cxbladder Monitor accurately identifies patients with
a prior history of urothelial cancer (UC) whose Cxbladder Monitor score shows
that they have a low probability of recurrent urothelial carcinoma. Cxbladder
Monitor is designed to be used as the preferred adjunct test to cystoscopy in
the management of patients for ongoing evaluation of recurrent bladder
cancer.
ABOUT Cxbladder Resolve www.cxbladder.com
Cxbladder Resolve is a proprietary, non-invasive, molecular diagnostic test
that combines genomic biomarkers measured from a small quantity of a
patient's urine, with patient characteristics for the identification of
patients who are likely to have aggressive or more advanced bladder cancer.
Cxbladder Resolve, when used as part of the primary evaluation of haematuria
and/or in conjunction with other Cxbladder tests (Triage, Detect), is
designed to assist clinicians by accurately identifying patients with a high
probability of having high grade or late stage bladder cancer, for whom
alternative or expedited treatment options may be warranted, or who can be
prioritised for further investigation in high throughput settings.
