Immunovia Full Year report 2019
“I am incredibly proud of the progress we made during 2019, especially in reaching the important milestone in December 2019 where we showed 95% accuracy for the upcoming commercialization of IMMray™ PanCan-d in diagnosing pancreatic cancer at a stage where it can still be operated on. This result opens the way for a significant improvement in care and an improved survival rate for patients suffering from this deadly disease. At Immunovia, we remain focused on introducing our blood-based test to the market in Q3 2020.
With two milestones remaining – a verification study and a final validation study – before the commercialization of IMMray™ technology in Q3 2020, we are intensifying the final launch preparations. We have successfully established a network of world renowned key opinion leaders and healthcare professionals to not only collaborate with us on how the test will be used in clinical practice, but also to supply us with the necessary blood samples, taken in the real clinical environment, to prove out IMMray™ technology. Our US team and those at the laboratory in Marlborough, MA are diligently working to implement logistics and distribution system that provides swift test results to support all our US customers. We have established a scalable sales and marketing organization which is targeting our key clinician customers at gastro centers around the US. Collaborations with patient organizations has also been a focus for us, as they play an important role in creating awareness and supporting the patients and their families.
We will market IMMray™ PanCan-d first in USA and then in Europe. We continue to increase the speed of our commercialization efforts for a successful launch of IMMray™ PanCan-d. Immunovia targets an initial addressable market of $4.4 BN USD in the US and Europe, and we look forward to working with healthcare providers around the world to improve the situation of this suffering patient group.”
