This agreement will make Cxbladder tests accessible through MediNcrease's client base of regional and national health plans, insurance companies, employers, municipalities, third-party administrators, unions and other companies involved in the management of medical claims and will help facilitate expedited payments to Pacific Edge. Pacific Edge has signed agreements with a number of national and regional provider networks in the US. These networks are an important part of the US healthcare system and help to expedite payment to providers on agreed payment terms. CEO of Pacific Edge, David Darling, said: "The signing of this agreement reflects the growing acceptance of Cxbladder as an effective, highly accurate and non-invasive test for the detection and better management of urothelial cancer. Having commercial agreements in place with provider networks is an important part of reimbursement of Cxbladder in the US, minimising barriers for urologists who order Cxbladder tests for their patient care." For more information contact: David Darling Chief Executive Officer Pacific Edge Ltd P: +64 (3) 479 5800 OVERVIEW www.pacificedge.co.nz www.pacificedgedx.com Pacific Edge Limited (NZX: PEB) is a New Zealand publicly listed, cancer diagnostic company specialising in the discovery and commercialisation of diagnostic and prognostic tests for better detection and management of cancer. The company is developing and commercialising its range of Cxbladder bladder cancer tests globally through its wholly owned central laboratories in New Zealand and the USA. The company's products have been tested and validated in international multi-centre clinical studies. Pacific Edge has three proprietary, novel, accurate, molecular diagnostic products in-market providing actionable results, and better detection and management of urothelial cancer. Cxbladder Detect and Cxbladder Triage are available through the company's dedicated CLIA certified laboratories for customers in New Zealand, Australia and the USA. Cxbladder Monitor launched in New Zealand in December 2015 and is anticipated being available in the US in 2016. ABOUT Cxbladder Triage www.cxbladder.com Cxbladder Triage combines the power of the genomic biomarkers with additional phenotypic and clinical risk factors to accurately identify patients with haematuria who have a low probability of bladder cancer and may not require a more extensive urological evaluation. Cxbladder Triage is a tool for use by clinicians and physicians in primary evaluation of patients with haematuria and is intended to reduce the need for an expensive and invasive work-up in patients who have a low probability of having urothelial carcinoma. ABOUT Cxbladder Detect www.cxbladder.com Cxbladder Detect enables the non-invasive detection of bladder and other urinary tract cancers from a small volume of a patients' urine. Cxbladder Detect was launched in 2013 in the USA and is commercially available in New Zealand, Australia and the USA as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) from the company's CLIA certified laboratories. Cxbladder Detect provides clinicians with a quick, cost effective and accurate measure of the presence of the cancer as an effective adjunct to cystoscopy. ABOUT Cxbladder Monitor www.cxbladder.com Cxbladder Monitor, the third test in the Cxbladder portfolio for urologists, is a proprietary, non-invasive, molecular diagnostic test that combines genomic biomarkers measured from a small quantity of a patient's urine, with patient specific clinical factors to better monitor bladder cancer patients for recurrence. Bladder cancer has a recurrence rate of 50-80% and requires life-long surveillance. Cxbladder Monitor accurately identifies patients with a prior history of urothelial cancer (UC) whose Cxbladder Monitor score shows that they have a low probability of recurrent urothelial carcinoma. Cxbladder Monitor is designed to be used as the preferred adjunct test to cystoscopy in the management of patients for ongoing evaluation of recurrent bladder cancer. ABOUT Cxbladder Resolve www.cxbladder.com Cxbladder Resolve is a proprietary, non-invasive, molecular diagnostic test that combines genomic biomarkers measured from a small quantity of a patient's urine, with patient characteristics for the identification of patients who are likely to have aggressive or more advanced bladder cancer. Cxbladder Resolve, when used as part of the primary evaluation of haematuria and/or in conjunction with other Cxbladder tests (Triage, Detect), is designed to assist clinicians by accurately identifying patients with a high probability of having high grade or late stage bladder cancer, for whom alternative or expedited treatment options may be warranted, or who can be prioritised for further investigation in high throughput settings.
