Mainz Biomed to Present Detailed Results of ColoFuture Study at International Conference on Gastroenterology
September 27 2023 - 7:01AM
Mainz Biomed N.V. (NASDAQ:MYNZ) (“Mainz Biomed” or the “Company”),
a molecular genetics diagnostic company specializing in the early
detection of cancer, announced today that it will present the
positive detailed results from its ColoFuture study at the 4th
International Conference on Gastroenterology which occurs on
October 16th - 18th in Paris, France. The ColoFuture study was a
multi-center international clinical trial assessing the potential
to integrate a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers
into ColoAlert®, the Company’s highly efficacious, and easy-to-use
screening test for colorectal cancer (CRC) being commercialized
across Europe and in select international territories.
"The data generated from this study represents a potentially
ground-breaking milestone for CRC detection and we are excited to
share the details of our findings with the attending audience of
international medical experts,” commented Guido Baechler, Chief
Executive Officer of Mainz Biomed. “Multiple novel mRNA biomarkers
were identified for possible integration into our pivotal FDA PMA
clinical trial, and we look forward to comparing ColoFuture’s
data outcome with results from our eAArly DETECT clinical study
which remains on track to report in Q4 of this year.”

The ColoFuture study was an international clinical trial
assessing the performance of ColoAlert with the Company’s novel
mRNA markers to determine sensitivity and specificity for
colorectal adenocarcinoma and advanced precancerous lesions in the
colon. It included 220 subjects aged 40-85 (45% female, 55% male,
average age 62.3 years) from participating centers in Germany,
Norway and Denmark. The Company reported topline results from
ColoFuture in September 2023, and key highlights included a
sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 97% for colorectal cancer,
along with a sensitivity of 81% for advanced adenomas. The eAArly
DETECT study is the U.S. component of ColoFuture which is enrolling
250 subjects across 25 sites.
The 4th International Conference
on Gastroenterology brings together world-renowned
speakers including scientists, doctors, professors, examiners,
instructors, and researchers to share discoveries and
ground-breaking ideas in the field of gastrointestinal
research.
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
(Dollinger 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 N.V.Mainz 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 based on
real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction-based (PCR) multiplex detection
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
product candidate portfolio also includes PancAlert, an early-stage
pancreatic cancer screening test. To learn more,
