Improved Quality of Treatment Decisions
.
MetaStat’s approach to cancer diagnosis and prognosis should improve the quality of cancer treatment decisions by providing each patient with a probability of developing cancer metastasis following initial front-line treatment. Our approach represents a substantial departure from existing approaches to treatment that often use statistically based or qualitative factors to determine treatments that are predominantly focused on growth and proliferation of the primary tumor. Our breast cancer diagnostic assays including the MetaSite
Breast
(TM) test and MenaCalc(TM)
Breast
assays have been shown in clinical studies to allow physicians to accurately stratify many patients into cancer metastasis risk categories different from classifications based primarily on tumor pathology grade and stage, thus enabling patients and physicians to make more informed decisions about treatment risk-benefit considerations and, consequently, design an individualized treatment plan according to each patient.
|
|
·
|
Improved Economics of Cancer Care
. We believe that improving the quality of treatment decisions can result in significant economic benefits. For example, in early stage breast cancer, data show that many patients are misclassified as high or low risk for systemic metastasis. Many low-risk patients that are misclassified as high-risk receive toxic and expensive chemotherapy treatment regimens they might not undergo if the risks were accurately assessed. Chemotherapy and related costs have been estimated to range from $20,000 to $100,000 per patient. On the other hand, some high-risk breast cancer patients that are misclassified as low-risk are not provided chemotherapy treatment when it would have made sense for them to receive such treatment, possibly necessitating future treatment that would be more expensive ($128,000 on average) if the cancer metastasizes.

Continue to innovate and advance our patent and intellectual property portfolio supporting our licensed platform technologies. We will augment our internal capabilities through product in-licensing, selective acquisitions, R&D collaborations and strategic partnerships to facilitate broadening of our product pipeline and extension of our technology which may include blood-based point-of-care diagnostics and companion diagnostics;
|
·
|
Successfully develop our prognostic and chemo-predictive breast cancer diagnostic franchise through the development of our driver-based MetaSite
Breast
(TM) and MenaCalc(TM) test suites;
|
·
|
Diversify our business offerings through expanding and leveraging the MenaCalc(TM) platform through development of new driver-based cancer tests including lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer;
|
·
|
Expand the functionality of the MenaCalc(TM) assay to include prognostic and predictive response to taxane-based drugs and selective TKIs;
|
·
|
Independently commercialize assays through our state-of-the-art CLIA-certified and state-licensed laboratory. We will maintain our commercial CLIA-certified laboratory and in parallel pursue non-exclusive strategic partnerships with organizations that have established high complexity, IHC, QIF compatible digital CLIA-certified labs;
|
·
|
Pursue a de-risked commercialization strategy based on non-exclusive agreements with strategic partners and/or Contract Sales Organizations (CSO) in the U.S. and distributors in Europe and throughout the rest-of-world. We will enter into agreements with commercialization partners that have existing commercialization infrastructure, established distribution channels, and strong relationships with our target audience in the medical community. We will avoid the cost and risk associated with building a new sales and marketing infrastructure. Initially we will build the necessary commercial infrastructure only when needed to supplement existing partnerships and not economically available through third party vendors. As profitability and market penetration grow, we plan to supplement our strategic partnership/CSO strategy with a phased-in internal sales and marketing effort;
