Quantum Cyber N.V. Files Non-Provisional Patent Application For Emp-Shielding 3D-Printable Composite Filament For Drone And Defense Electronics Quantum Cyber N.V. filed a non-provisional utility patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for an Electromagnetic Pulse Shielding Composite Filament for Fused Deposition Modeling and Method of Manufacture Thereof. The patent application describes a multi-component composite thermoplastic filament formulated for use in standard fused deposition modeling (FDM) three-dimensional printers. The filament, composed of a PETG polymer matrix combined with aluminum flake, carbonyl iron powder, carbon black, and milled carbon fiber, produces 3D-printed drone enclosures that achieve broadband shielding effectiveness of 35 to 55 dB across the full frequency range of 10 kHz to 10 GHz, as measured per ASTM D4935. Unlike metallic Faraday enclosures or conductive gaskets that impose weight and manufacturing complexity penalties incompatible with modern UAV size, weight, and power constraints, the Company's filament is designed for use with commercially available desktop FDM printers, enabling on-demand production of EMP-hardened drone enclosures and electronics housings at the unit level. Electromagnetic pulse attacks represent one of the most consequential unsolved problems in autonomous drone warfare. A single EMP event -- whether generated by a high-altitude nuclear detonation, a non-nuclear electromagnetic device, or a high-power microwave weapon -- can simultaneously destroy the semiconductor components and flight control systems of an entire drone swarm. No publicly listed drone defense company, including platforms the Company monitors as market comparables, currently offers a fielded EMP-hardening solution at the drone enclosure level. Quantum Cyber believes this patent application establishes its first-mover position in EMP hardening for autonomous systems, a capability layer that management views as essential infrastructure for any serious drone defense platform. The Company intends to integrate this technology across its developing System-of-Systems portfolio. Aankondiging • May 20
Quantum Cyber N.V. Files Patent Application for Autonomous Naval Mine Countermeasure System Quantum Cyber N.V. filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for an Autonomous Distributed Naval Mine Countermeasure System. The filing, numbered 64/066-872, establishes a priority date for the Company's proprietary technology for autonomous detection and neutralization of underwater naval mines using unmanned aerial vehicle-deployed sensor and neutralization platforms. The technology is directly relevant to an active and publicly documented military crisis. U.S. Central Command has confirmed that Iran has laid naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz following the outbreak of the 2026 Iran war. The Pentagon has issued navigational warnings describing the strait as "extremely hazardous due to the presence of mines that have not been fully surveyed and mitigated," and has directed commercial vessels to alternate routing through Omani territorial waters. The U.S. Navy's legacy mine countermeasure assets, including Avenger-class minesweepers and Littoral Combat Ships with MCM mission packages, are currently stretched across the theater, with several units having departed the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility for scheduled maintenance. Quantum Cyber's patented system addresses this documented capability gap through a fully autonomous, UAV-based architecture requiring no personnel in the water. The system deploys semi-submerged survey pods from an unmanned aerial vehicle into the target area. Each survey pod conducts multibeam sonar scanning, magnetometer sensing, and hydrophone acoustic array analysis to detect and classify underwater mines with a probability of identification exceeding 85% in testing. A tethered UAV communications relay maintains persistent command and control connectivity between the survey pods and the ground control station throughout the operation. Upon target confirmation, the deployment UAV retrieves survey pods and deploys expendable influence-neutralization pods near confirmed mine locations. Each neutralization pod generates programmable acoustic signatures, three-axis magnetic field waveforms, and optional pressure impulse charges calibrated to trigger the influence fuzes of the targeted mines, achieving selective neutralization without collateral damage to surrounding infrastructure or vessels. The filing advances Quantum Cyber's growing patent portfolio, which now includes a provisional application for the autonomous naval mine countermeasure system and a non-provisional utility patent application for an EMP-shielding composite filament for UAV and UAS electronics protection. The Company's broader technology pipeline encompasses autonomous drone warfare platforms, counter-UAS perimeter defense systems, portable drone command and control systems, and quantum antenna communications technology currently in development, all assembled under a single System-of-Systems platform architecture. The Strait of Hormuz carries approximately 20% of global oil supply and one-third of the world's liquefied natural gas trade. The Iranian mining of the strait has contributed to significant disruption to global energy markets and maritime commerce. The Trump administration is separately seeking approximately $55 billion for drone and autonomous warfare programs in the fiscal 2027 defense budget, the largest single-year autonomous warfare allocation in U.S. history, as military doctrine shifts toward AI-enabled unmanned systems for precisely these types of maritime and asymmetric threat environments.

Mainz Biomed N.V. Reports Topline Results from Feasibility Study of Biomarker Panel in Pancreatic Cancer Project Mainz Biomed N.V. announced positive topline results from its feasibility study, examining a non-invasive blood-based screening test for the early detection of pancreatic cancer, initiated earlier this year. The study confirmed the strong clinical accuracy and utility of licensed proprietary biomarkers from Liquid Biosciences for developing an innovative screening test for pancreatic cancer. Researchers evaluated 18 licensed biomarkers across multiple candidate panels to streamline assay complexity. The leading panel achieved 100% sensitivity and 95% specificity, successfully distinguishing pancreatic cancer patients from healthy controls in a 30-subject cohort, reflecting different stages of the disease as well as precursors. These findings are consistent with the strong performance previously demonstrated in discovery and validation datasets, which achieved 95% sensitivity and 98% specificity earlier this year. The reproducibility of these results further strengthens confidence in the robustness of the biomarker panel and its potential as the foundation of a reliable, non-invasive screening test. Importantly, the algorithm developed by Liquid Biosciences not only distinguished pancreatic cancer from healthy controls but also successfully detected precancerous lesions that have the potential to develop into pancreatic cancer if left untreated. The ability to identify these lesions through a blood test opens the door to monitoring at-risk individuals, intervening earlier in the disease process, and ultimately reducing the incidence and mortality associated with pancreatic cancer. Having confirmed the validity of a panel of candidate mRNA biomarkers with strong potential clinical relevance, Mainz Biomed will begin planning a larger clinical study to finalize biomarker selection using banked prospective samples. This upcoming study will evaluate the biomarkers' performance across different stages of cancer and further investigate the ability to identify early various stages of cancer and pre-cancer, leveraging next-generation sequencing technologies. Subject to the outcome of the larger confirmatory study, Mainz Biomed intends to proceed with a validation study using a larger cohort of blood samples using Polymerase Chain Reaction technology (PCR). This would be a critical step toward optimizing the test for potential clinical utility and preparing it for future regulatory consideration, including a possible submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The pancreatic cancer project is part of the Company's broader strategy to develop accessible molecular diagnostics for early cancer detection, particularly in indications where current screening tools are limited or non-existent.

Mainz Biomed N.V. Receives Swiss Regulatory Approval to Market ColoAlert Mainz Biomed N.V. announced that ColoAlert®, its non-invasive colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test, has been officially registered and approved for distribution by Swissmedic, the Swiss regulatory and supervisory authority for medicinal products and medical devices. In Switzerland, CRC screening programs primarily focus on individuals between the ages of 50 and 74, with options for a biennial Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) or a colonoscopy every 10 years. The population in the 50 to 74 age group is estimated at around 2.8 million, accounting for approximately 31.4% of Switzerland's total inhabitants. Despite the presence of over 13 screening programs nationwide, current participation rates fall below 50%. The introduction of innovative early detection test for colorectal cancer, such as ColoAlert, could significantly contribute to improving participation rates, supporting national health goals, and addressing a critical gap in prevention efforts. The regulatory approval by Swissmedic follows the Company’s previously announced partnership with a local laboratory in Switzerland, labor team w ag, earlier this year. With this milestone, ColoAlert® is now authorized for use in the Swiss market and will be made available through the partner laboratory’s diagnostic service offering, with no remaining obstacles to the upcoming launch. ColoAlert® is a non-invasive screening test which is currently marketed in select countries across Europe and is designed to detect CRC tumor DNA and other biomarkers with high sensitivity in stool samples. Mainz Biomed continues to focus on expanding ColoAlert®'s reach through decentralized partnerships with laboratories and regional healthcare providers—ensuring broad access and localized implementation of its advanced molecular diagnostics.

Mainz Biomed N.V. Enrolls First Patient in Its eAArly DETECT 2 Clinical Study Mainz Biomed N.V. announced the first patient has been enrolled in eAArly DETECT 2, a feasibility study to evaluate the Company's next-generation colorectal cancer (CRC) test. The test integrates its proprietary mRNA biomarkers, an AI-developed algorithm, and a FIT test over a population of approximately 2,000 average-risk patients to validate the results of previous feasibility studies and support the transition of CRC screening to CRC prevention. The eAArly DETECT2 study is expected to complete enrollment in the second half of 2025, and the Company targets reporting top-line results by the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on the study's outcome, Mainz Biomed intends to finalize its protocols for ReconAAsense, the Company's U.S. pivotal study, which is on track to initiate in 2026. This next-generation CRC and APL test will not only detect cancerous polyps with a high degree of accuracy but can potentially prevent the disease through early detection of precancerous adenomas. The five novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers, which the Company acquired from Sherbrooke University in 2022, have demonstrated a unique ability to identify advanced adenomas - curable precancerous colonic polyps - as well as treatable early-stage CRC. The eAArlydetECT 2 study will further evaluate and confirm the effectiveness of these biomarkers combined with Mainz Biomed's proprietary algorithm to enhance product specifications, extending its capability to include the identification of advanced adenomas while increasing rates of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for early-stage CRC.

Mainz Biomed N.V. and Liquid Biosciences Make Groundbreaking Discovery of Mrna Biomarkers for Blood Based Detection of Pancreatic Cancer Mainz Biomed N.V. announced it has entered into a License and Option Agreement with Liquid Biosciences to access a portfolio of novel mRNA biomarkers for the non-invasive detection of pancreatic cancer with a blood test. The parties, under the Agreement, plan to develop this blood-based test for potential future FDA applications. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has the rights to develop a test using Liquid's biomarkers through an exclusive license with the unilateral option to acquire the exclusive global rights to the gene expression biomarkers which have demonstrated a high degree of effectiveness in detecting pancreatic cancer. The financial terms of the Agreement include both a license fee and a royalty on future revenues in the event of the exercise of the option. The discovery process included multiple independent pancreatic cancer study cohorts. Liquid used their proprietary EMERGE platform to identify a panel of clinically relevant mRNA biomarkers from a blood-based cohort of 285 subjects with 35 pancreatic cancer patients. Liquid further confirmed the biomarkers with two additional, independent cohorts, confirming the strong clinical contribution of each biomarker shown in the initial discovery phase. In the analysis, the biomarkers coupled with the proprietary algorithm developed by Liquid, achieved overall sensitivity of 95% and a 98% specificity for the detection of pancreatic cancer. If the statistical results are replicable after the integration into a new product, it has the potential to ultimately position the Company's test to be the most robust and accurate screening test for pancreatic cancer on the market. The parties plan to jointly develop this pancreatic cancer screening test, which will include enhancement of commercial assays, refinement of algorithms, and preparation for potential FDA application and approval.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 229% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (25% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$4.1m).

Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$20m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$4.1m). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (53% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (US$917k revenue). Market cap is less than US$10m (US$7.43m market cap). Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$30m net loss in 2 years). Reported Earnings • Oct 20

Mainz Biomed N.V. Announces FDA Trials in 2025 Mainz Biomed N.V. released a statement to shareholders highlighting its strategic plans for maximizing shareholder value, clinical developments, and its upcoming FDA trial anticipated for 2025, which aims to pave the way for entry into the U.S. market. Management believes 2025 will be a transformative year, positioning Mainz Biomed for substantial growth in global markets, particularly through its innovative diagnostic solutions. Corporate Product: Breakthrough Data and U.S. Expansion: mRNA-based next-generation CRC screening tests are redefining standards in early cancer detection. Mainz Biomed's non-invasive test not only targets the early detection of colorectal cancer but also focuses on precancerous lesions, particularly advanced adenomas, demonstrating significant clinical success in both U.S. and European trials. Presentations at DDW and ASCO this year have highlighted sensitivities exceeding 90% for detecting colorectal cancer and over 80% for advanced adenomas. Detecting advanced adenomas is crucial in preventing colorectal cancer, as identifying patients with these lesions allows for timely intervention through colonoscopy and adenoma removal, thereby averting cancer development. Mainz Biomed, alongside other companies, emphasizes the use of stool-based samples for CRC and advanced adenoma detection due to their direct connection to cancer cells and adenomas. Recent reports suggesting the ease of blood tests over stool tests must be carefully evaluated, as extensive studies in the U.S. and Europe have shown significantly lower sensitivity of blood tests in identifying advanced adenomas. This limitation arises because early-stage advanced adenomas are not typically connected to the body's blood supply, making them undetectable through blood samples. In early July the Company has announced that based on its robust clinical data package it submitted for FDA Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) for its next generation CRC screening test. Following encouraging feedback from the FDA, the Company has made the strategic decision to withdraw its BDD application to focus on extending its clinical research program. Mainz Biomed will expand its dataset to include a larger average-risk patient population with its pivotal ReconAAsense trial. The Company plans to submit this comprehensive data in 2025 to FDA. The consistently positive data from the Company’s clinical feasibility studies presented at ASCO 2024 and Digestive Disease Week (DDW), provide a strong foundation as Mainz Biomed prepares for U.S. FDA clinical trials in 2025, a key milestone in its strategy to penetrate the U.S. market. Successful completion of the FDA trial will allow Mainz Biomed’s next generation CRC screening test to be marketed to millions of Americans at risk of colorectal cancer, representing a major revenue growth opportunity for the company. Innovative Diagnostic Pipeline: In addition to its mRNA next-generation CRC screening test, Mainz Biomed is advancing a robust pipeline of cutting-edge diagnostic technologies aimed at detecting multiple cancers, with PancAlert leading the way. Its focus on molecular diagnostics, powered by proprietary biomarkers, positions to address a wide range of cancers early, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs globally. The success of its upcoming products will help diversify its revenue streams and strengthen its leadership in cancer diagnostics. Current development and expansion of the current ColoAlert screening test: Mainz Biomed has redeveloped and relaunched an expanded version of its first-generation CRC screening test currently commercialized in Germany and selected other countries in Europe. The change implemented in the ColoAlert product significantly simplified the workflow and reduced the retest rates. The feedback from the lab communities has been very positive and the Company expects this new product to further accelerate the growth and lab expansion. Committed on delivering on key milestones for fair Company valuation: Mainz Biomed’s strong clinical results, expanding pipeline, and upcoming FDA trial, it is the management’s position that the Company’s current stock price does not adequately reflect its true value. While the Mainz Biomed cannot directly influence the stock market, the management team is fully focused on delivering on key milestones and executing its strategy to unlock value for shareholders. Looking Ahead: FDA Trials and Major Growth in 2025: 2024 is a year of continued clinical progress and market expansion, but the FDA trials anticipated for 2025 represent a pivotal moment for Mainz Biomed. Successfully navigating the regulatory landscape in the U.S. will unlock significant opportunities to serve millions of patients in the world’s largest healthcare market.

Mainz Biomed N.V. Launches Enhanced Coloalert with Cutting-Edge Features to Optimize Screening Efficiency and User Convenience Mainz Biomed N.V. announced significant improvements to its ColoAlert product, currently being commercialized across Europe and in select international markets. These updates aim to enhance customer satisfaction and streamline lab operations. ColoAlert is a highly efficacious and easy-to-use, at-home detection test for colorectal cancer (CRC). The test utilizes proprietary methods to analyze cell DNA for specific tumor markers combined with the fecal immunochemical test (FIT). It is designed to detect tumor DNA and CRC cases in their earliest stages. To increase screening/lab efficiency, Mainz Biomed has introduced a novel DNA stabilizing buffer capable of accommodating varying sample volumes. This breakthrough addresses a common issue in the industry where samples are often either underfilled or overfilled, rendering them unsuitable for laboratory analysis. Consequently, patients frequently have to repeat their screening test. The new proprietary buffer used in ColoAlert significantly reduces the necessity for additional sample submissions, thereby reducing the time for the patients to obtain their results. This enhancement has enabled ColoAlert to achieve the industry's lowest retaining rates, ensuring that screening outcomes are delivered within just 2 - 3 days upon arrival at the laboratory. Furthermore, Mainz Biomed has refined the ColoAlert kit for improved usability, including a variety of new features, such as an improved collection device, a new tube and tube holder, etc. These upgrades streamline the sample collection process, offering users a more straightforward and reliable experience. The updated ColoAlert product is now accessible to existing laboratory partners and readily available to prospective collaborators. Aankondiging • Jul 09
Mainz Biomed N.V. Announces Submission for FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for its Next Generation CRC Screening Test Mainz Biomed N.V. announced that it has submitted its application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting Breakthrough Device Designation for its non-invasive Next Generation colorectal cancer (CRC) product including the Company's novel portfolio of mRNA biomarkers. Subject to the FDA's review, a Breakthrough Device Designation could significantly accelerate approval. The regulatory submission follows consistently excellent read-outs of its clinical studies ColoFuture and eAArly Detect, as well as data from a pooled study including both the European and the US arm that were presented at ASCO 2024. On the basis of these studies Mainz Biomed has now defined the final configuration of its Next Generation Test integrating the Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) with proprietary mRNA biomarkers, complemented by an advanced AI and machine learning algorithm that the Company plans to use in its Next Generation product, and the FDA premarket approval study. The configuration of the Next Generation Test was tested in a clinical setting. The analysis involved 295 clinical subjects from 21 specialized gastroenterology centers across the United States and highlighted the remarkable efficacy of Mainz Biomed's multimodal screening test. This combination enables precise differentiation among colorectal cancer (CRC), advanced adenomas (AA), non-advanced adenomas, and samples with no pathological findings. The FDA's Breakthrough Devices Designation is a program for certain medical devices and device-led combination products that provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions. It is intended to allow patients and health care providers timely access to medical devices by speeding up development, assessment, and review for premarket approval, 510(k) clearance, and De Novo marketing authorizations. Breakthrough Devices must meet the FDA's rigorous standards for device safety and effectiveness in order to be authorized for marketing. Aankondiging • May 08
Mainz Biomed N.V. Presents an Analysis from Its eAArly Detect Study At Digestive Disease Week Mainz Biomed N.V. will present an analysis from its eAArly DETECT study at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2024 in Washington D.C. from May 18th to May 21st. eAArly DETECT is a US multi-site study performed at 21 specialized gastroenterology sites that enrolled 254 clinical patients. The results show compelling performance of its multimodal screening test combining Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), DNA and mRNA biomarkers with a unique artificial intelligence (AI) /machine learning algorithm to differentiate between colorectal cancer (CRC), advanced adenomas (AA), non-advanced adenomas and patient samples with no findings. The presentation will delve into the test's ability to accurately analyze a combination of biomarkers, improving early detection rates for both colorectal cancer and significant precancerous conditions. By leveraging this dual approach, Mainz Biomed aims to accelerate the shift from cancer detection to prevention by advancing current colorectal cancer screening practices, reflecting its commitment to reducing cancer mortality rates worldwide. The eAArly DETECT was performed to identify novel mRNA biomarker for potential integration into the Mainz Biomed's pivotal FDA PMA clinical trial ReconAAsense. The study enrolled 254 evaluable subjects across 21 sites in the U.S. with a similar design to that of ColoFuture, its European counterpart. Patients aged 45 years and older were invited to participate when referred for a colonoscopy to either screen for CRC (average risk), to follow up on a positive non-invasive test, imaging or symptoms, or if a subject was already identified as having colorectal cancer but before any treatment had been administered. Those who agreed to provide a stool sample in advance of the colonoscopy (or treatment in the case of subjects with already identified colorectal cancer) were eligible for participation. Subjects were classified into groups following central pathology review: CRC, advanced adenoma, non-advanced adenoma, no findings, or non-colorectal cancer. Each subject outcome was compared to the results from the ColoAlert®? test incorporating the novel biomarkers. Major Estimate Revision • Apr 16

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 19% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$21m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 19% per year for the foreseeable future.

Mainz Biomed N.V. Announces Positive Topline Results from its ColoFuture Study Mainz Biomed N.V. announced positive topline results from its ColoFuture study. The ColoFuture study is a multi-center international clinical trial assessing the potential to integrate a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers into ColoAlert, the Company’s highly efficacious, and easy-to-use screening test for colorectal cancer (CRC) which is being commercialized across Europe and in select international territories. The results of this study included sensitivity for colorectal cancer of 94% with a specificity of 97% and a sensitivity for advanced adenoma of 81%. The portfolio of mRNA biomarkers evaluated in the ColoFuture study was acquired from the Université de Sherbrooke (January 2022) to potentially enhance ColoAlert’s technical profile to further extend its capability to include the identification of advanced adenomas (AA), a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to CRC, and to increase the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity rates for CRC. In Sherbrooke’s pioneering work, researchers tested a battery of novel transcriptional mRNA biomarkers using samples obtained from patients diagnosed with CRC or as having an advanced adenoma and identified a subset of mRNA biomarkers that provided the sensitivity and specificity of detection (Herring et al. 2021). Mainz Biomed specifically selected those mRNA biomarkers which demonstrated not just the ability to detect a disease signal from samples of patients who were known to have colorectal cancer, but also the unique potential to identify a signal from samples of patients with advanced adenomas. The power to detect lesions in a pre-cancerous stage can change the entire CRC diagnostic landscape. If advanced adenomas are identified early, they are curable. By treating the patient before the polyps can progress to a cancerous stage, CRC can be prevented. COLOFUTURE is an international clinical study evaluating the performance of the Mainz Biomed Colorectal Cancer Screening Test. This test is a combination of the ColoAlert test and novel mRNA markers. COLOFUTURE includes subjects aged 40-85 from participating centers in Germany, Norway and Denmark. Subjects are invited to participate in the study either when referred for colonoscopy (screening or diagnostic) or if already diagnosed with colorectal adenocarcinoma but treatment-naive. To be included, subjects provide informed consent and submit samples from one stool collection prior to colonoscopy or treatment. Completed subjects are placed into one of the following groups based on the colonoscopy results and any applicable pathology report from biopsy: colorectal adenocarcinoma, advanced precancerous lesions in the colon or rectum, non-advanced adenoma, or normal. Each subject’s stool sample is tested with the Mainz Biomed Colorectal Cancer Screening Test. The primary endpoints of the study are to determine sensitivity and specificity for colorectal adenocarcinoma. There are multiple secondary and exploratory endpoints including determining sensitivity and specificity for advanced precancerous lesions in the colon. The interim analysis included 220 subjects.

Mainz Biomed Announces Live Launch of ColoAlert with testDNA Laboratory in Poland Mainz Biomed NV announces the commercial launch of ColoAlert in Poland, made possible through a strategic collaboration with testDNA Sp. z o. o. Sp. K (“testDNA”). The partnership marks another significant step forward in providing new and innovative testing options to underserved populations in the battle against colorectal cancer (“CRC”). ColoAlert, Mainz Biomed's product is a user-friendly and highly effective at-home screening test able to help meaningfully address the pressing global challenge of early colorectal cancer detection. The strategic alliance with testDNA aims to extend the reach of this transformative technology, providing improved access to screening tools that come with the potential to save countless lives across Poland. Operating since 2003, testDNA is a national leader in the field of DNA-based testing services. As an accredited research laboratory sanctioned by the Polish Center for Accreditation, the laboratory is headquartered in Katowice, Poland, and boasts an expansive network of over 300 collection points throughout the country. With a comprehensive portfolio, testDNA is renowned for delivering genetic-based testing solutions tailored to individual needs. The urgency for alternative CRC screening options is underscored by data from the World Cancer Research Fund International which ranked Poland 7th (seventh) in the world for the highest mortality rate. With over 21 million people aged over 40, the market opportunity for ColoAlert is significant, especially as there has been a low level of national participation in CRC screening which traditionally has been colonoscopies. In the recently published NordICC study in the New England Journal of Medicine, only 33% of those invited to participate in colonoscopy screening actually took part. This highlights the need to have alternative screening options that are less invasive and easier to perform at home. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 22

Mainz Biomed Provides Product Development Update on Pancalert Mainz Biomed N.V. announced that PancAlert, its screening test candidate for pancreatic cancer has achieved multiple pre-clinical milestones that support the development of this potential first-in-class diagnostic for a deadly cancer indication. The PancAlert project commenced in 2020 with a grant from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research to develop a non-invasive early detection test for pancreatic cancer, a malignant neoplasm of the pancreas with one of the highest mortality rates of all major cancers. Each year, about 466,000 lives are taken globally, and it’s the seventh leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It has one of the lowest survival rates of any cancer, with typically late detection and poor outcomes with standard of care treatment(s). The 5-year overall survival rate is approximately 11% in the U.S. and 9% globally. However, if diagnosis occurs in the early stages of the disease, the survival rate is significantly higher, hence the rationale behind launching the PancAlert initiative. Mainz Biomed reported the achievement of multiple predefined milestones for the PancAlert project, including achievement of specificity target, collection of a set of characterized clinical samples, selection of potential biomarker candidates, and the development of prototype biomarker tests. The Company will now allocate resources over the next 12 months to determine if the product candidate warrants clinical evaluation. It's possible that PancAlert’s technical profile will include functioning as a stool-based test, mirroring the Company’s product ColoAlert, a highly efficacious and easy to use at-home detection test for colorectal cancer. However, given the growing understanding of the role of the microbiome in pancreatic cancer, Mainz Biomed will evaluate Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (“PCR”)-based multiplex detection of molecular-genetic biomarkers and other testing methods in stool samples, and will also evaluate other collection methodologies including saliva, urine and blood.

Mainz Biomed Completes Successful Pre-Submission Process with the U.S Fda for Coloalert’S Pivotal Clinical Trial Mainz Biomed N.V. announced that it has received supportive feedback from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on the Company’s pre-submission package profiling the potential pivotal clinical trial design for ColoAlert, its highly efficacious, and easy-to-use detection test for colorectal cancer (CRC). As Mainz prepares to launch ColoAlert’s pivotal clinical trial, the Company is also pleased to announce the formal commencement of its reimbursement process for ColoAlert by scheduling an initial meeting with The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in April 2022. The CMS is a federal agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that administers the Medicare program and works in partnership with state governments to administer Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and health insurance portability standards. An integral part of Mainz’s clinical execution and medical reimbursement strategies is its partnership with Precision for Medicine, a leading global Clinical Research Organization. Precision for Medicine will continue to work with Mainz’s management team to implement the U.S. focused regulatory and market access strategy for ColoAlert by finalizing ColoAlert’s clinical development plan to ensure the trial design is cost-effective, robust, and efficient. The Company is planning to integrate CMS guidelines into ColoAlert’s pivotal trial design, utilizing currently marketed CRC screening tests as benchmarks to provide the test with an optimal product profile for regulatory approval and success in the marketplace.

Mainz Biomed Provides U.S. Regulatory Review Update for Coloalert Mainz Biomed N.V. announced that its pre-submission filed with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for ColoAlert has been accepted for review. By accepting the pre-submission for review, the FDA will provide feedback to the Company on its proposed pivotal U.S. clinical trial design for ColoAlert, its highly efficacious, and easy-to-use detection test for colorectal cancer (CRC). The FDA feedback is expected in calendar second quarter of 2022, and will offer Mainz the opportunity to gain preliminary insight and guidance on the potential technical parameters and endpoints of the study, which is on track to commence in 2023. A key component of Mainz’s U.S. regulatory strategy for ColoAlert is based on the outcome of the Company’s recently announced (February 4, 2022) launch of ColoFuture, an international clinical study evaluating the potential to integrate a portfolio of in-licensed novel mRNA biomarkers into the product. The rationale behind acquiring the rights to these five biomarkers from the Université de Sherbrooke in December of 2021, was based on their documented, unique ability to identify curable precancerous colonic polyps, as well as treatable early-stage CRC (Herring et al 2021). ColoFuture is evaluating the effectiveness of these biomarkers to enhance ColoAlert’s technical profile to extend its capability to include the identification of advanced adenomas (AA), a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to CRC, while increasing ColoAlert’s rates of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. So, if the study results from ColoFuture prove positive, it will solidify ColoAlert as the gold standard at-home diagnostic tool for CRC currently being marketed across Europe and enable Mainz to incorporate these biomarkers into ColoAlert prior to commencing its U.S. pivotal study for the product. Mainz is currently marketing ColoAlert through its unique business model of partnering with third-party laboratories for test kit processing versus the traditional methodology of operating a single facility.

Mainz Biomed Initiates Clinical Study to Evaluate Integrating Novel mRNA Biomarkers Into ColoAlert Mainz Biomed N.V. announced that it has commenced ColoFuture, an international clinical study to evaluate the potential to integrate a portfolio of novel mRNA biomarkers into ColoAlert, the Company’s highly efficacious, and easy-to-use detection test for colorectal cancer which is being commercialized across Europe. The novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers, which the company acquired an exclusive option to in-license from the Université de Sherbrooke in early January 2022, have demonstrated a unique ability to identify curable precancerous colonic polyps, as well as treatable early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). The ColoFuture study will evaluate the effectiveness of these biomarkers to enhance ColoAlert’s technical profile to extend its capability to include the identification of advanced adenomas (AA), a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to CRC, while increasing ColoAlert’s rates of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. The exclusive option to in-license these mRNA biomarkers from the Université de Sherbrooke is the result of the institution’s pioneering work in the field, where researchers tested a battery of novel transcriptional biomarkers using colon cancer samples and precancerous lesions. The results from these studies demonstrated that the five mRNA targets chosen by Mainz Biomed provided the greater sensitivity and specificity of detection. (Herring et al 2021). The ColoFuture study is evaluating over 600 patients including both male and female genders in the age range of 40-85 at two participating centers in Norway and two in Germany. Subjects will be invited to potentially participate in the trial when referred for a colonoscopy (pre-inclusion) to screen for CRC or an overall diagnostic analysis. Those who agree to provide a stool sample in advance of the procedure will be eligible for participation. Inclusion criteria are based on one of the following diagnostic outcomes: CRC, advanced precancerous lesions in colon, or normal colon. Then, each patient outcome will be compared to the observations recorded from the colonoscopy to the results from the ColoAlert test that incorporates the novel biomarkers. The primary endpoints of the study are to determine sensitivity and specificity rates for CRC with ColoAlert plus the new mRNA biomarkers. There are multiple secondary endpoints for evaluating the modified ColoAlert test, including, determining sensitivity for AA lesions in colon, specificity for advanced precancerous lesions in colon and, specificity for no colorectal finding (normal colon). The Company expects to complete enrollment during the second half of 2022 and is targeting reporting study results in early 2023. Aankondiging • Dec 07
Mainz Biomed Launches Ecommerce Store for ColoAlert to Assist Patient Access during Covid-19 Pandemic Mainz Biomed N.V. announced the launch of ColoAlert.de, an ecommerce store providing Germans direct access to its ColoAlert colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test. German residents unable to obtain timely CRC screening via in-person physician visits, will be able to order ColoAlert directly to their home and receive highly accurate results within a maximum of nine working days. This direct-to-patient program will utilize Mainz Biomed’s own, high-throughput, clinical lab based in Mainz, and be administered by in-house physicians. The Company’s clinical team will also be on hand to provide phone-based support to ensure a high level of patient care. In line with Mainz Biomed’s business strategy, it is expected that ColoAlert.de and other Company-owned online points of sale will eventually distribute orders for diagnostic tests to partner labs within the network, both within Germany and globally as further regulatory approvals are secured and member labs integrated. Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the European Union (EU), with approximately 170,000 people dying every year, out of a diagnosed population of 370,000. According to Digestive Cancers Europe, if the European Union was able to diagnose more patients in stage 1 from the current 13% to 50%, 130,000 more lives could be saved per year and more than 3 billion €in healthcare budget savings could be generated every year, and possibly the same amount in social and work-related value.
