OncoSpire Genomics will seek to discover and commercialize biomarkers for multiple cancer types

RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Mayo Clinic ("Mayo") and Cancer Genetics Inc. (OTCQB: CGIX) today launched OncoSpire Genomics ("OncoSpire"), a joint venture with the singular goal of improving cancer care by discovering and commercializing diagnostic tests that leverage next-generation sequencing.

“Individualized medicine and genomic testing give us a fundamental understanding of the inner workings of wellness and disease. We recognize the transformative power of these tools and are committed to using every resource at our disposal to bring individualized medicine to our patients,” says Gianrico Farrugia, M.D., a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and director of Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine. “That is why this joint venture is so important.”

OncoSpire will focus on mutually identified projects in the Biomarker Discovery Program within Mayo’s Center for Individualized Medicine. Initial focus areas will include hematological and urogenital cancers, and potentially other cancers, as selected by a scientific review committee. OncoSpire will be based in Rochester, Minn., and will be equally owned by Cancer Genetics and Mayo Clinic. Cancer Genetics will contribute operating capital, commercial expertise and other guidance. Mayo will contribute in-kind with sequencing and laboratory resources, clinical and research expertise, and other operational resources.

“We expect this new venture to accelerate cancer biomarker discovery research already underway at Mayo Clinic Cancer Center,” says Robert Diasio, M.D., cancer researcher and director of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. “Transforming discoveries into individualized cancer therapies will benefit patients, so we are excited to be part of these efforts.”

Research will be conducted in genetics and life sciences labs at Mayo Clinic, including Mayo’s Center for Individualized Medicine Biomarker Discovery Program and the medical genome facility, a resource that allows medical researchers to investigate how individual differences in the structure and function of human genomes influence health outcomes.

Technological advances, such as next-generation sequencing, have driven down the cost to perform whole genome sequencing. What originally took $3 billion over 13 years for the Human Genome Project and the first human genome sequence can now be accomplished for a few thousand dollars in a matter of days.

Panna Sharma, CEO of Cancer Genetics, says: “The combination of resources we are bringing together positions OncoSpire Genomics to create a major impact in the development of advanced genomic-based cancer diagnostics. Our investment in OncoSpire Genomics represents the potential for a paradigm shift in patient management that can result in more efficient use of health care resources, ultimately improving the cost structure of cancer diagnosis and treatment. We expect this will add value to our commercial offerings as next-generation sequencing becomes more widely accepted by the clinical community. A major factor behind our decision to work with Mayo was the depth of their world-class clinicians and thought leaders, who we believe are in a position to drive clinical value and clinical adoption for the tests being created by OncoSpire Genomics.”

Mayo Medical Laboratories and Mayo Clinic’s Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology will work with Mayo’s Center for Individualized Medicine to help bring discoveries from the joint venture to patients at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere. According to Frost & Sullivan, a health care industry analyst, the U.S. cancer biomarker testing market is expected to reach $11.5 billion by 2017.

“Next-generation sequencing will change the future of health care, especially in complex disease categories such as cancer,” says R.S.K. Chaganti, Ph.D., founder and chairman of Cancer Genetics. “We are pleased to have forged this new relationship with Mayo with the goal of furthering next-generation sequencing technologies. Cancer Genetics’ strength in hematological and urogenital cancers brings a tremendous knowledge base to the partnership. Together we can make a significant impact in the pursuit of personalized medicine that is transforming cancer treatment.”

OncoSpire has formed a scientific review committee, which is composed of six researchers, thought leaders and clinicians.

First quarter revenue increased 46% YoY
Clinical test volume increased 19% YoY
Institutional client base grows to 42% of revenues
DNA-Probe product manufacturing moved to India, reducing cost of goods

RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Cancer Genetics, Inc. (OTCQB: CGIX) ("CGI" or the "Company") is an emerging leader in the diagnosis and disease management for the most complex and difficult-to-treat cancers, including hematologic, urogenital, and gynecological malignancies. CGI’s focused portfolio of IP-protected and clinically validated genomic tests, CAP- and CLIA-certified reference laboratory, and suite of unique service offerings are ideally positioned to serve the needs of clinicians, pathologists and laboratories across the entire ecosystem of cancer diagnosis and treatment. CGI today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 increased 46% to $1.2 million, compared with $835,000 in the first quarter of 2012.

Clinical test volume increased 19% to 1,911 tests in the first quarter, compared with 1,610 tests in the first quarter of 2012.

Average revenue per test increased 23% to $615, from $502 in the first quarter of 2012, driven by an increase in direct bill revenue.

DNA-probe sales by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CGI Italia, increased 193% to $44,000 for the first quarter of 2013, from $15,000 for the same period of 2012.

Gross profit increased to $149,000 in the first quarter, from $12,000 for the same period of 2012, while gross margin improved to 12% compared to 1% in the first quarter of 2012 and 9% for the full year 2012.

Adjusted for a one-time write off of $618,000 in IPO-related costs, operating expenses were unchanged at $1.8 million in the first quarter, compared to the same period of 2012. R&D expense remained relatively flat at $491,000, compared to $524,000 in the first quarter of 2012. Sales and marketing expense increased 16% to $396,000 in the first quarter, from $340,000 in the year-ago period.

Adjusted for the one-time write off in IPO-related costs, loss from operations in the first quarter was $1.7 million, compared to $1.8 million in the same period of 2012.

Net income for the first quarter was $2.4 million, or $1.75 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.81) per share, in the first quarter of 2012. This increase in income was primarily the result of income related to a $5.3 million decrease in the fair value of derivative warrant liability, plus an income tax benefit of $664,000 from the sale of certain net operating losses (“NOLs”) in the state of New Jersey. These gains were partially offset by the increase in operating loss and an increase in interest expense. Interest expense increased from $865,000 in the first quarter of 2012 to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2013. As of the Company’s initial public offering in April, $9.6 million of debt was converted to equity, which is expected to significantly decrease interest expense going forward.

In April, CGI completed a 690,000 share equity offering, including the 90,000 share overallotment option, for which the Company received gross proceeds of $6.9 million. After deducting transaction fees and offering-related expenses not previously paid, CGI netted approximately $5.0 million. Prior to the offering, as of March 31, cash-on-hand was $217,000, compared to $820,000 at December 31, 2012. Cash used in operations in the first quarter was $560,000, compared to $3.2 million cash used in the first quarter of 2012. The reduction in cash usage was the result of $664,000 received in the first quarter of 2013 from the sale of certain state tax NOLs, plus the non-recurrence of $2.1 million in one-time payments that were made in the first quarter of 2012.

Panna Sharma, President and CEO of CGI, commented, “We made significant progress during this past quarter, and it places us in a great position for 2013. The growth in clinical volumes has been due to both new relationships with community hospitals and biotechnology companies using our proprietary programs and from existing customers expanding the range of oncology-focused biomarker testing CGI is providing them. We see this past quarter, which was completed prior to our IPO, as a good foundation for further growth in 2013 as we continue our investment in sales professionals, marketing and brand awareness.”

Mr. Sharma continued, “The recent launches of our microarrays in our hematological and urogenital franchises, namely our DLBCL and kidney cancer tests, clearly demonstrate our ability to effectively innovate and develop the genomic products that will help drive improved diagnosis, deeper insights about outcome, and better therapeutic decision making. Our relationship with Gilead, which was announced in March, clearly highlights the value and future growth that our proprietary products can generate for our company. We expect further launches in 2013 that will increase our portfolio of commercially available genomic tests and drive additional value for community hospitals, biopharma companies and patients.”

“We have a deep knowledge base in these underserved cancers; this, coupled with our approach to commercialization, will be a cornerstone for our joint venture with Mayo Clinic in next-generation sequencing. We believe our investors will be able to participate in both a high-growth genomics company serving the market today, and participate in the long-term upside of proprietary programs that are positioned to change the nature of oncology diagnosis and management in the future.”

Recent Business Highlights:

• Selected by Gilead Sciences to provide molecular profiling and clinical trial testing for all national and international trials for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which will include the proprietary MatBA-CLL array.
• Successfully completed migration of DNA-Probe manufacturing to India in order to reduce cost, increase capacity and improve operational flexibility.

The Company’s best-in-class cancer diagnostic technologies are becoming widely accepted in the global oncology healthcare community

RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Cancer Genetics, Inc.’s (OTCQB: CGIX) (“CGI” or the “Company”) wholly-owned subsidiary, Cancer Genetics Italia, S.r.l. (“CGI Italia”), has entered into an agreement with Nikon Instruments S.p.A. (“Nikon”) for the distribution of oncology-focused DNA Probes intended for fluorescence in situ hybridization (“FISH”) in the Italian market. This new partnership extends CGI’s global distribution network and provides more evidence that its best-in-class cancer diagnostic technologies are becoming widely accepted in the global oncology healthcare community.

FISH allows for the detection of targeted DNA rearrangements commonly found in cancers, and is therefore widely used for the diagnosis, outcome prediction and clinical management of cancer patients. Characterized by a fast turnaround time, high sensitivity, and the ability to study the cell cycle at different stages, this methodology represents the leading technology in the molecular cytogenetics market. With approximately 70,000 tests performed annually in Italy, this new partnership is expected to rapidly gain market share in Italy through the offering of a complete solution, including microscopy and reagents, to cytogenetics and cancer laboratories.

Nikon is ranked among the top microscope manufacturers worldwide, and offers a wide line of products intended to help laboratories to deliver quality research and clinical results. Nikon’s microscopes and imaging software systems, both automated and user-friendly, provide cytogenetics laboratories with solutions that improve workflow efficiency and reduce subjectivity. Combined with the CGI Italia DNA-FISH Probes, which allow for more efficient pinpointing of genetic aberrations, this full solution will allow laboratories to perform simultaneous multicolor FISH testing with complex image analysis in academic and clinical settings.

“Through research, CGI has designed and developed a set of outstanding DNA-FISH Probes for diagnosis of genomic aberrations currently recognized as essential in clinical practice,” says Raju Chaganti, professor at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and founder of the Company. “Joining hands with Nikon is a great opportunity for both companies, and it advances the cause of personalized cancer management.”

“Nikon appreciates the great opportunity to distribute CGI Italia DNA-FISH Probes in the Italian market. This partnership allows us to complete our instrumentation and consumables line for FISH applications,” says Cristiana Ricci of Nikon. “Nikon has developed, especially for the Oncology/Hematology field, a microspots system to investigate FISH on a microchannel, and CGI Italia’s probes are very important to complete our full solution offer for our customers.”

This partnership further enables the Company’s mission to provide clinical laboratory professionals with robustly designed products for FISH and cancer diagnostics. While focused initially on the Italian market, this partnership is expected to expand to other Western European countries. CGI estimates that over 350,000 FISH-based diagnostic tests are done annually in Western Europe.

• UroGenRA™-Kidney was designed and developed at Cancer Genetics to assist in the diagnosis and treatment selection of kidney cancer.

• Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) & New York State approvals of the microarray as a laboratory developed test (LDT) expand CGI’s menu of proprietary molecular diagnostic tests for urogenital and hematological cancers.

RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Cancer Genetics, Inc. (OTCQB: CGIX) (“CGI”), a leader in oncology-focused personalized medicine, has launched a proprietary urogenital cancer array, UroGenRA™, intended for kidney cancer diagnosis and subtyping in its own laboratory. The company has received regulatory approvals from both CLIA and New York State and will offer the genomic microarray as part of its Kidney Complete^SM Program.

According to the National Cancer Institute, it is estimated that 64,000 new kidney cancer cases will be diagnosed in the United States in 2013, while approximately 13,000 patients will die from the disease. Currently, kidney cancers are classified based on morphology into several subtypes which drive treatment decision. Renal neoplasms are often initially diagnosed as small renal masses by computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging while patients are still asymptomatic. However, imaging techniques are of limited help in distinguishing benign and malignant forms, and determining the proper subtype.

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, where suspicious kidney tissue is removed, has become a common method for biopsy sampling. However, up to 30% of the removed renal masses were classified as benign after surgery indicating that such procedure may not be appropriate in certain cases. In recent years, image-guided needle biopsy has emerged as a valuable option for diagnostic testing; yet, over 15% of needle biopsies yield insufficient tissue and are considered non-diagnostic by routine histology, rendering them clinically unreliable, so that a method for accurate diagnostic is needed. CGI’s UroGenRA™-Kidney provides critical genomic data that allows for an accurate discrimination among the three malignant renal cell carcinoma (RCC) subtypes – clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe RCC – and a benign form of renal cancer, oncocytoma, and for the proper therapy selection depending on the kidney cancer subtype. This genomic-based assessment has the potential to improve diagnosis and prevent unnecessary and costly surgical procedures.

Results from a research collaboration between Jonathan Coleman, M.D., at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and CGI based on the use of needle biopsy specimens were presented in a poster at the 2013 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.

“The decision to treat a renal mass is based on the tumor’s biologic potential to metastasize to other sites in the body, where it can cause pain, debilitation, and death, but in many cases, these tumors may not be a threat and can be safely left alone under observation,” said Dr. Coleman. “The studies we have conducted demonstrate that it may be possible to better understand how a tumor will behave by analyzing the genetic makeup of tumor tissue obtained through biopsy.”

The UroGenRA™-Kidney has been developed to assist in the diagnosis of both needle biopsy and resected specimens. While in many cases, surgery is recommended after diagnosis, this test will help to devise proper therapy selection based on the tumor genomic profiling for kidney patients without the need for invasive surgery. This microarray test joins other proprietary genomic testing solutions offered by CGI that target personalized cancer treatment while reducing healthcare cost.

• MatBA® -DLBCL is designed to assist in the clinical management of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
• Test was developed at Cancer Genetics, Inc. and clinically validated in collaboration with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
• Regulatory approval expands CGI’s menu of CLIA- & New York State-approved molecular diagnostics for hematological, urogenital, and gynecological cancers

Rutherford, February 25, 2013 — Cancer Genetics, Inc. (CGI), a leader in oncology-focused personalized medicine, today announced it has received CLIA and New York State approvals for clinical use of its proprietary mature B-cell neoplasm array or MatBA®  (patent 13/475,034) for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. MatBA®-DLBCL will assist clinicians in the diagnosis and prognosis of DLBCL.

DLBCL is the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), a diverse group of hematological malignancies. An estimated 190,000 people in the United State suffer from DLBCL, and up to 24,500 new U.S. cases diagnosed each year, which accounts for up to 40% of all NHL cases. Newly-diagnosed patients have a median age of 64 years, and disease progression and outcomes vary widely, due in part to the genomic characteristics of each individual patient’s cancer. This creates a strong clinical need for accurate and molecularly-informed prognostic testing both at the time of initial diagnosis and throughout ongoing disease monitoring efforts to ensure selection of the best treatment plan for an individual patient. However, current prognostic modalities rely primarily on clinical features.

CGI’s MatBA®-DLBCL microarray provides clinicians with information on genomic alterations in DLBCL, including regions of gain and loss that are associated with disease outcome.

A research collaboration between the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and CGI using 87 patient samples, as well as the analysis of two open datasets including 171 samples (GSE11318, Lenz et al.) and 51 high risk samples (E-MEXP-3463, Taskinen) and other published datasets showed that:

•      MatBA®-DLBCL has both diagnostic and prognostic value
•      MatBA®-DLBCL can assist in patient stratification for risk-adapted therapy when performed at diagnosis
•      MatBA®-DLBCL assesses the presence of single biomarkers as well as genome complexity as measures of overall survival following front-line immunochemotherapy

CGI believes that it is the only laboratory to have a CLIA and New York State approved microarray for the genomic assessment of DLBCL. The MatBA® -DLBCL Array CGH assay joins the DLBCL Complete^SM program offered by CGI, which includes a suite of esoteric tests used in the diagnosis, prognosis and clinical management of DLBCL patients.  This newly-approved DLBCL test extends CGI’s ongoing commitment to developing new diagnostic and disease management tools for some of the most costly and critical unmet needs in oncology today. MatBA® -DLBCL joins MatBA® -CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) and MatBA® -SLL (small lymphocytic leukemia) in CGI’s suite of CLIA- and New York State-approved proprietary microarrays for the clinical management of underserved hematological malignancies.
