IRVINE, CA, and HERSTAL,
BELGIUM – April 19, 2023 – MDxHealth SA (NASDAQ/Euronext:
MDXH), a commercial-stage precision diagnostics company, received
notice that its Select mdx for Prostate Cancer test has
successfully completed a rigorous technical assessment process with
the Molecular Diagnostics Services (MolDX) Program developed by
Palmetto GBA. Select mdx will be reimbursed throughout the U.S. for
Medicare patients who meet coverage conditions under the
foundational Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Molecular
Biomarkers to Risk-Stratify Patients at Increased Risk for Prostate
Cancer.
Michael K.
McGarrity, CEO of
mdxhealth,
commented: “We are pleased to
report this very positive and important development for mdxhealth.
The quality of our clinical data for the Select mdx test, strong
adoption from our urology customer base and inclusion in the NCCN
Guidelines all reflect this positive reimbursement decision that
now provides coverage for Medicare patients. We look forward to
expanding the availability of our test to current and new customers
and to patients entering the diagnostic pathway of prostate cancer.
We believe our pre-biopsy Select mdx test, coupled with our
post-biopsy Confirm mdx® and Genomic Prostate Score (formerly
Oncotype DX GPS) tests, provides the most comprehensive and
clinically actionable pathway for urologists and patients.”
About Select mdx
Select mdx for Prostate Cancer is a proprietary
urine-based mRNA test that offers a non-invasive method to assess a
patient’s risk for clinically significant prostate cancer. Select
mdx helps identify men at increased risk for undetected aggressive,
potentially lethal, prostate cancer who may benefit most from a
prostate biopsy and earlier detection. The test delivers a negative
predictive value of 95% for clinically significant disease, helping
to reduce the need for MRI procedures and invasive prostate
biopsies, thereby reducing healthcare costs. The test has been
included in the Early Detection for Prostate Cancer National
Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) clinical guidelines.
