Provides Business Update
IRVINE, CA, and HERSTAL,
BELGIUM – November 29, 2022 – MDxHealth SA
(NASDAQ/Euronext: MDXH), a commercial-stage precision diagnostics
company, today provided clinical and reimbursement product
developments, updated guidance for 2022, and initial guidance for
2023.
Select
mdx reimbursement update Under
the foundational LCD (Local Coverage Decision) process recently
implemented by the Molecular Diagnostics Services (MolDX) Program
administered by Palmetto GBA, all tests within an LCD-covered
indication must submit a Technical Assessment (TA) for review and
consideration. The indication for use of Select mdx is covered by
Medicare’s foundational LCD Molecular Biomarkers to Risk-Stratify
Patients at Increased Risk for Prostate Cancer, which became
effective in July 2022. The Select mdx TA has already been
submitted and we are engaged in an interactive review process with
MolDX. Based on our most recent communication with MolDX, a final
coverage decision is not expected until H1 2023.
NCCN Guidelines expand Genomic Prostate
Score (GPS) indication to include high-risk patientsThe
recently released NCCN for Prostate Cancer Guideline (Version
1.2023)* expands the indication for use of the GPS test to include
high-risk patients with localized prostate cancer. In August 2022,
mdxhealth announced that it acquired the Oncotype DX Genomic
Prostate Score® (GPS) test from Exact Sciences, further solidifying
the Company’s leadership in the precision diagnostics urology
market. This expanded criteria to address high-risk patients
provides additional validation for the clinical utility of GPS in
making prostate cancer treatment decisions and enables us to more
fully serve our targeted patient population.
Michael K. McGarrity, CEO of
mdxhealth, commented: “Securing Medicare
reimbursement for new molecular diagnostic technologies is now a
more rigorous and iterative process under the new Foundational LCD
program. Due to the additional time required to obtain Medicare
coverage, the Company no longer expects to receive Medicare
payments for Select mdx tests in 2022. Based on this development,
coupled with revenue cycle timing associated with the acquisition
and integration of the GPS test, the Company is revising its 2022
revenue guidance to $36.5-37.5 million from $40-42 million. We
remain confident in our ability to address any remaining questions
with MolDX, which we believe will lead to a positive reimbursement
decision for Select mdx in the first half of 2023. To further
underscore the growing diagnostic value of Select mdx, we are also
pleased to report that the results of an independent,
multi-institutional clinical study was recently recognized as a
best poster by the American Urological Association, demonstrating
the diagnostic accuracy of Select mdx and as well as its
complementary utility with mpMRI for the prediction of prostate
cancer in biopsies.
“Further, we are also pleased to note the
expanded indication for our GPS test in the recently updated NCCN
Prostate Cancer guidelines”, continued Mr.
McGarrity. “The addition of GPS to our current menu of
tests targeted into urology and prostate cancer reflects our
strategy to generate sustainable growth and enable mdxhealth to
become the leading precision diagnostics company with the most
comprehensive test menu focused on prostate cancer. While early, we
are well into our integration plan for our GPS test and have our
expanded field sales organization in place to support continued
growth. With multiple levers for sustainable revenue growth, the
company is initiating 2023 revenue guidance of $65-70 million.”
