Insights

The partnership between Genetic Technologies and CancerIQ marks a significant step towards enhancing cancer prevention efforts. By integrating geneType Risk Assessment Tests into CancerIQ's platform, healthcare providers gain access to polygenic-integrated clinical risk prediction for nine major diseases. This collaboration has the potential to revolutionize population healthcare by enabling more comprehensive risk assessments.

The partnership provides Genetic Technologies access to over 45 health systems and 250 clinics, significantly expanding their market reach. With $75,000 annual fee for premium access, the company stands to benefit from increased visibility and streamlined test ordering processes. However, the actual impact on revenue and market share remains to be seen, depending on adoption rates and competition in the field.

This partnership represents a strategic shift in Genetic Technologies' commercial approach. Moving from direct sales to leveraging CancerIQ's established network could potentially accelerate market penetration. The company's focus on commission-based sales teams suggests a more cost-effective expansion strategy, which could improve profitability if successful.

However, investors should note that while CancerIQ has screened over 1 million patients, the conversion rate to geneType tests and subsequent revenue generation is yet to be determined. The success of this venture will depend on how well Genetic Technologies can differentiate its offerings and demonstrate value to healthcare providers within the CancerIQ ecosystem.

While the partnership with CancerIQ opens up new opportunities for Genetic Technologies, the financial implications are not immediately clear. The $75,000 annual fee for premium access is a relatively small investment given the potential market exposure. However, the company's mention of a "current capital raise" suggests ongoing financial challenges.

Investors should closely monitor future financial reports to assess the impact of this partnership on revenue growth and profitability. The shift to a commission-based sales model could potentially reduce fixed costs, but its effectiveness in driving sales remains to be seen. Without concrete financial projections or historical performance data, it's difficult to quantify the potential return on this investment.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG; NASDAQ: GENE, “Company”, “GENE”), a global leader in genomics-based tests in health, wellness and serious disease, is pleased to announce the Company has negotiated a partnership agreement with Chicago-based CancerIQ.

CancerIQ enables Healthcare Institutions and Clinics to support cancer prevention programs by supporting and simplifying the identification of high-risk patients. Over the past few years, CancerIQ has shown, in real-world breast imaging settings, that genetic testing uptake is increased when their platform is integrated into the operational pipeline within the imaging center. Similarly, clinics using CancerIQ have also showed an increase in identification of atrisk adults allowing the clinics to prioritize patients for preventive cancer screenings. Until now, the CancerIQ offerings have been limited to traditional risk assessment models and standard germline testing panels for the assessment of hereditary risk. The inclusion of the geneType Risk Assessment Test portfolio supports CancerIQ’s expansion into primary preventive care where the missions of both companies overlap. GENE and CancerIQ are both dedicated to enabling healthcare providers to assess patients’ comprehensive risk in order to personalize cancer prevention efforts.

GeneType will be CancerIQ’s first lab partner solely focused on polygenic-integrated clinical risk prediction. GeneType’s focus has always been population healthcare, but until recently healthcare systems have been largely concentrating on hereditary cancer risk. With the integration of geneType into the CancerIQ platform, healthcare systems have the opportunity to engage in polygenic-integrated clinical risk assessment for the general population across nine major diseases spanning cancer and cardiometabolic disease.

Commercial sales strategies in the US over the past two years have been limited to large entity conversations and small boutique-cash-pay clinics; the limited commercial personnel and long sales cycles have resulted in slow volume increases over time. New commercial strategy utilizing contract-only, commission-based sales teams will allow low overhead with greater reach.

GeneType will benefit from the increased visibility within the US healthcare systems that currently utilize CancerIQ. This includes more than 45 health systems and over 250 clinics, more than half of which are focused on primary care and breast centers where GeneType is aptly positioned for success. Over 1 million patients in the US have already been screened using the CancerIQ platform.

CancerIQ have demonstrated an extraordinary level of adoption through a range of clinical settings. According to their in-house data (link: https://www.canceriq.com/resources), CancerIQ have been able to demonstrate a significant increase in appropriate testing for at-risk patients.

GENE’s Chairman, Peter Rubinstein, noted, “We are very excited to have been invited to become part of the CancerIQ platform to be implemented upon completing our current capital raise. This approach will make the geneType Risk Assessment Tests more easily accessible to the clinical community. We look forward to the co-marketing opportunities with CancerIQ to increase the awareness of population risk-assessment. We are confident in the value of this population healthcare approach, ultimately providing the opportunity to improve the health outcomes for people generally.” GENE will be required to pay an annual fee of US$75,000 to access CancerIQ’s Premium Tier. In addition to providing access to CancerIQ’s network the platform will also simplify test ordering experience by auto-populating geneType in the Health Care Professional’s test menu and importantly it will also prepopulate the geneType Test Request Form, making the entire process streamlined for both practitioner and their patients.
