MDxHealth SA (NASDAQ/Euronext: MDXH) (“mdxhealth” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage precision diagnostics company, today announced it has entered into an asset purchase agreement with Genomic Health, Inc., a subsidiary of Exact Sciences Corporation (“Exact Sciences”), to acquire the Oncotype DX® GPS (Genomic Prostate Score®) test from Exact Sciences along with most of its team of urology sales and marketing professionals. This addition further solidifies the Company’s leadership in the precision diagnostics urology market. Additionally, the Company reported strong preliminary financial results for the half year ended June 30, 2022 and raised its current full year 2022 revenue guidance.
Michael McGarrity, CEO of mdxhealth, commented: “We are excited to announce this transformational acquisition of Oncotype DX GPS, a broadly commercialized and clinically validated test available today across the urology community, expanding mdxhealth’s current menu of tests targeted into urology and prostate cancer and reflecting our strategy to generate sustainable growth. After discussions with the Exact Sciences team, it became clear to both companies the substantial value we could unlock by adding the Oncotype DX GPS test to mdxhealth’s molecular test menu of Select mdx and Confirm mdx as well as our newly launched advanced molecular test for urinary tract infections (UTIs). We look forward to welcoming Exact Sciences’ Oncotype DX GPS prostate commercial team to mdxhealth, increasing our commercial footprint and providing this newly expanded sales team with a broader, highly complementary offering of precision diagnostic tests to better serve our combined customers in urology.
“We also believe this acquisition positions mdxhealth as one of the leaders in the urology and prostate cancer space with one of the most comprehensive menus of precision diagnostics. Our expanded menu provides clear and clinically actionably results to guide both patients and clinicians through the complex and often confounding prostate cancer diagnostic pathway.”
Kevin Conroy, Chairman and CEO of Exact Sciences commented: “We believe the mdxhealth team is well positioned to serve patients and customers in the urology space. Adding the Oncotype DX GPS test and technology to their comprehensive urology test menu will provide an enhanced experience and more information to help patients and health care providers navigate a prostate cancer diagnosis.”
