Mainz Biomed Launches Number of Educational Events in Germany to Raise Awareness for CRC Screening and Early Detection
08 Março 2023 - 5:01AM
Mainz Biomed NV (NASDAQ:MYNZ) (“Mainz Biomed” or the “Company”), a
molecular genetics diagnostic company specializing in the early
detection of cancer, launches a number of events to raise awareness
for the importance of early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC)
with physicians and medical professionals, but also with patients,
their families, caregivers and the general public in Germany.
“With approximately 73,000 new cases diagnosed every year in
Germany alone, CRC is one of the most common cancers. It is also
the second most lethal form of cancer on a national basis. However,
the 5-year-survival rate exceeds 90%, if identified in early
stages,” said Darin Leigh, Chief Commercial Officer of Mainz
Biomed. “As a company based in Mainz, Germany, supporting the
efforts of patient organizations and the local cancer community
during CRC Awareness Month is important to us. We have organized
educational events to highlight the relevance of early diagnosis
for improved treatment options and better patient outcomes. Regular
screening with a user-friendly, non-invasive, at-home CRC test kit
can save lives!”

About ColoAlertColoAlert, our flagship product,
delivers high sensitivity and specificity in a user-friendly,
at-home CRC screening kit. ColoAlert is the non-invasive colorectal
cancer screening test that looks for more than blood. ColoAlert
detects bleeding and non-bleeding tumors by analyzing tumor DNA,
offering better early detection than fecal occult blood tests
(FOBT). By analyzing tumor DNA, ColoAlert detects significantly
more cases of colorectal cancer than other stool tests and allows
for an earlier diagnosis. The product is CE-IVDR marked (complying
with EU safety, health and environmental requirements) and
commercially available in a selection of countries in the European
Union and the United Arab Emirates. Mainz Biomed currently
distributes ColoAlert through a number of clinical affiliates. Once
approved in the US, the Company’s commercial strategy is to
establish scalable distribution through a collaborative partner
program with regional and national laboratory service providers
across the country.
About Colorectal CancerAccording to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), CRC is the second most
lethal cancer in the United States and Europe, but also the most
preventable, with early detection providing survival rates above
90%. The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2021 there were
approximately 149,500 new cases of colon and rectal cancer in the
US, with 52,980 resulting in death. Recent decisions by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggest that screening with
stool DNA tests such as ColoAlert in the United States should be
conducted once every three years starting at age 45. Currently,
there are 112 million Americans aged 50+, a total that is expected
to increase to 157 million within 10 years and a US market
opportunity of approximately $3.7 billion per year.
About Mainz Biomed NVMainz Biomed develops
market-ready molecular genetic diagnostic solutions for
life-threatening conditions. The Company’s flagship product is
ColoAlert, an accurate, non-invasive and easy-to-use,
early-detection diagnostic test for colorectal cancer. ColoAlert is
currently marketed across Europe and the United Arab Emirates. The
Company is currently running a pivotal FDA clinical study for US
regulatory approval. Mainz Biomed’s product candidate portfolio
also includes PancAlert, an early-stage pancreatic cancer screening
