– commercialized by BioChain

U.S.A.:

PMA under review by US FDA since early 2013

Response letter June 2014

ADMIT (Adherence to Minimally Invasive Testing) Study

Study to demonstrate increased participation in CRC screening in patients being offered Epi proColon® blood-based test vs. FIT stool-based test

 In agreement with the FDA, the study:

 will include patients actively managed by CRC screening programs within

Kaiser Permanente

and

Geisinger Health Systems

 population which is

non-compliant to CRC screening

according to current screening guidelines is identified through electronic medical records

420 patients –

enrollment underway

 Primary endpoint:

significant increase in compliance to CRC screening

compared to current standard of care (FIT) – at least 8% improvement

 Additional endpoint:

adherence to colonoscopy

upon positive test result

Simple blood-based

tests widely seen as best way to close the “screening gap”

 Epi proColon® is based on a single

epigenetic biomarker:

methylated Septin9

 Septin9 in CRC tissue fully methylated in

>95%

of all cancers

 High analytical

sensitivity

(6pg/ml),

specific

for colorectal cancer

 Equal capability to detect

left and right

sided cancerous lesions
