Mainz Biomed Expands Corporate Health Program for ColoAlert with the Addition of Three New Companies in Germany
April 04 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 that three German-based
companies have selected ColoAlert®, the Company’s highly
efficacious and easy-to-use screening test for colorectal cancer
(CRC) into their respective corporate health programs.
“At Mainz Biomed, we believe that everyone should have access to
colorectal cancer screening, since almost 73,000 cases of
colorectal cancer are diagnosed annually in Germany,” said Guido
Baechler, Chief Executive Officer of Mainz Biomed. “Including
ColoAlert in corporate health programs provides an easy way for
employees to get the testing they need. Early CRC detection and
diagnosis enables employees to receive better treatment options
that may lead to improved outcomes. We look forward to working with
these three new companies and applaud their commitment to making
employee health an integral part of their culture.”
Mainz Biomed offers an online portal through which employees can
register to be sent the ColoAlert® test. Once the sample is
received and processed, confidential test results are sent back to
the employee through the portal, along with an explanation of the
results. If an employee has approved for their physician to be
notified of test results, then the doctor may directly follow-up
with the patient. As part of its commitment to the BGM program,
Mainz Biomed provides education to employees and physicians on CRC
and recommendations for next steps.
About ColoAlert®ColoAlert®, Mainz Biomed’s
flagship product, delivers high sensitivity and specificity in a
user-friendly, at-home colorectal cancer (CRC) screening kit. This
non-invasive test can be indicative of tumors as determined by
analyzing tumor DNA, offering better early detection than fecal
occult blood tests (FOBT). Based on PCR-technology, ColoAlert®
detects more cases of colorectal cancer than other stool tests and
allows for an earlier diagnosis (Gies et al.,
2018). The product is commercially available in select EU
countries through a network of leading independent laboratories,
corporate health programs and via direct sales. To receive
marketing approval in the US, ColoAlert® will be evaluated in the
FDA-registration trial ‘ReconAAsense’. 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 CancerColorectal cancer (CRC)
is the third most common cancer globally, with more than 1.9
million new cases reported in 2020, according to World Cancer
Research Fund International. The US Preventive Services Task Force
recommends that screening with stool DNA tests such as ColoAlert®
should be conducted once every three years starting at age 45. Each
year in the US, 16.6 million colonoscopies are performed. However,
roughly one-third of US residents aged 50-75 have never been
screened for colon cancer. This gap in screening represents a
$4.0B+ total market opportunity in the US.
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,

of molecular-genetic biomarkers in stool samples. ColoAlert® is
currently marketed across Europe. The Company is running a pivotal
FDA clinical study for US regulatory approval. Mainz Biomed’s
