Mainz Biomed Expands European Commercial Footprint and Enters Markets in Spain and UK
February 15 2023 - 2:01AM
Mainz Biomed NV (NASDAQ:MYNZ) (“Mainz Biomed” or the “Company”), a
molecular genetics diagnostic company specializing in the early
detection of cancer, announced today the establishment of
commercial partnerships for ColoAlert with Marylebone Laboratory
(Marylebone Lab LTD) and Instituto de Microecologia, two leading
independent laboratories covering England and Spain. ColoAlert,
Mainz Biomed’s flagship product, a highly efficacious and
easy-to-use, at-home detection test for colorectal cancer (CRC), is
currently being commercialized across Europe and in select
international markets via a differentiated business model of
partnering with third-party laboratories for test kit processing
versus the traditional methodology of operating a single facility.
“It’s a pleasure to welcome Marylebone Lab and Instituto de
Microecologia to our network of laboratory partners,” commented
Darin Leigh, Chief Commercial Officer of Mainz Biomed. “As we
execute our commercial strategy, we are steadfast in aligning with
laboratories who share our passion for bringing to market premier
diagnostic tests that have the potential to dramatically impact the
treatment and prevention of deadly diseases such as CRC, which
remains the second most lethal cancer in Europe, and for which
early detection plays a critical role in patient survival.”
The addressable market in Spain is estimated at 26 million
patients and at 9 million patients in the greater London region.
Mainz Biomed is providing ColoAlert to Marylebone and Instituto de
Microecologia under the standard terms of the Company’s partnership
agreements. In the coming weeks, Mainz Biomed will work with both
partners to complete the necessary technical and co-marketing
activities to ensure a successful commercial launch in these
markets.
About ColoAlertColoAlert detects colorectal
cancer (CRC) via a simple-to-administer test with a high level of
sensitivity and specificity (Dollinger MM et al., 2018). The test
utilizes proprietary methods to analyze cell DNA for specific tumor
markers combined with the fecal immunochemical test (FIT). It is
designed to detect tumor DNA and CRC cases in their earliest
stages. The product is CE-IVDR marked (complying with EU safety,
health and environmental requirements) and commercially available
in a selection of countries in the European Union and the United
Arab Emirates. Mainz Biomed currently distributes ColoAlert through
a number of clinical affiliates. Once approved in the US, the
Company’s commercial strategy is to establish scalable distribution
through a collaborative partner program with regional and national
laboratory service providers across the country.
About Colorectal CancerAccording to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), colorectal cancer (CRC)
is the second most lethal cancer in the U.S. and Europe, but also
the most preventable, with early detection providing survival rates
above 90%. The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2021 there
were approximately 149,500 new cases of colon and rectal cancer in
the US, with 52,980 resulting in death. Recent decisions by
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggest that screening
with stool DNA tests such as ColoAlert in the US should be
conducted once every three years starting at age 45. Currently,
there are 112 million Americans aged 50+, a total that is expected
to increase to 157 million within 10 years and a US market
opportunity of approximately $3.7 billion per year.
About Mainz Biomed NVMainz Biomed develops
market-ready molecular genetic diagnostic solutions for
life-threatening conditions. The Company’s flagship product is
ColoAlert, an accurate, non-invasive and easy-to-use,
early-detection diagnostic test for colorectal cancer. ColoAlert is
currently marketed across Europe and the United Arab Emirates. The
Company is currently running a pivotal FDA clinical study for US
regulatory approval. Mainz Biomed’s product candidate portfolio
also includes PancAlert, an early-stage pancreatic cancer screening

samples. To learn more, visit mainzbiomed.com or follow us on
