OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Company Overview
We are an artificial intelligence-enabled in vitro diagnostics company, focused on optimizing clinical management of kidney disease to drive improved patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs. KidneyIntelX, our first-in-class diagnostic platform, employs a proprietary artificial intelligence-enabled algorithm that combines diverse data inputs, including validated blood-based biomarkers, inherited genetics and personalized patient data from electronic health record (“EHR”) systems, to generate a unique patient risk score. This patient risk score enables prediction of progressive kidney function decline in chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) allowing physicians and healthcare systems to optimize the allocation of treatments and clinical resources to patients at highest risk. CKD affects approximately 37 million individuals in the United States, significantly impacting their quality of life and, according to the United States Renal Data System’s 2019 Annual Data Report, resulting in Medicare spending of over
Kidney disease is a worldwide public health crisis, resulting in more deaths per year than breast or prostate cancer. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that one-third of adults in the United States are at risk of developing kidney disease. Advanced kidney disease is generally not reversible and, once the disease progresses to kidney failure, the only available treatments are long-term dialysis and kidney transplant. In 2016, more than 726,000 patients had end-stage kidney disease (“ESKD”), with more than 500,000 requiring dialysis at least three times a week. More than 100,000 patients begin dialysis each year to treat ESKD. Once on dialysis, patients typically experience a five-year mortality rate of up to
Managing a CKD population of this scale and associated healthcare costs presents a unique social challenge. The ability to predict which patients will experience progressive kidney function decline, kidney failure, initiation of long-term dialysis or kidney transplant, is critical to changing patient outcomes and health economics. In our clinical validation studies in patients with DKD, we observed that the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (“KDIGO”) classification system, which is the standard clinical assessment to predict risk for progression of CKD, including DKD, only identified approximately
We believe that the utilization of KidneyIntelX across large patient populations will have a significant impact on overall healthcare costs. Health economic benefits are projected to be derived from three key areas: (1) slowing progression to the next stage of CKD, (2) delaying or preventing progression to ESKD and the need for dialysis or kidney transplant and (3) avoiding dialysis crashes. We have partnered with Boston Healthcare Associates (“BHA”), to develop a health economic model analyzing the cost and care pathway for patients with DKD at all stages of the disease and the potential cost savings of implementing and utilizing KidneyIntelX. According to the BHA study, based on the Medicare price of
Several federal policy and economic events, including the U.S. Presidential Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health issued in July 2019 and recent changes in U.S. reimbursement law, are helping disrupt the kidney disease clinical and commercial environment, highlighting the pressing need for solutions such as KidneyIntelX. We believe these favorable policy trends, which began during the Obama administration, will continue to build under a Biden administration and will support broader commercial adoption of KidneyIntelX and other derivative products contemplated in our diagnostics development planning. In addition, on January 12, 2021, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, finalized the Medicare Coverage of Innovative Technology (“MCIT”) rule. We believe that this new CMS rule could have a material positive impact on addressable market population with insurance coverage for KidneyIntelX if we obtain FDA clearance for KidneyIntelX.
MCIT represents the culmination of a sequence of policy steps over the past decade, including finalization of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act in 2018, that have materially altered the pathway for translating innovative diagnostic technology. For emerging growth diagnostic companies such as Renalytix, MCIT can have a substantial effect in achieving comprehensive reimbursement coverage on an accelerated timeline. We believe MCIT represents one of the more significant events in the past several decades to help drive innovation in precision medicine diagnostics/prognostics.
Additionally, we have successfully completed the first stage of our statement of work with AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP (“AstraZeneca”) to conduct a feasibility study to determine the impact of the use of our KidneyIntelX platform to optimize utilization of various CKD agents. Further, in December 2020 we entered into a master service agreement with AstraZeneca for future services of this nature. We believe this agreement will define how we can leverage KidneyIntelX to improve the care and outcomes for patients affected by chronic diseases such as kidney disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Building on our initial success with AstraZeneca, we plan to pursue further collaborations with pharmaceutical companies and make ‘Pharmaceutical Services Revenue’ a core part of our business going forward with the goal of improving guideline-based standard-of-care for optimal utilization of existing and novel therapeutics using the KidneyIntelX testing platform and proprietary care management software.
Business Highlights
Reimbursement and Regulatory Pathway
With the recent finalization of the MCIT rule on January 12, 2021, we now have a clear path to a national Medicare coverage determination for KidneyIntelX testing in the United States. In summary, MCIT provides for an opt-in national Medicare coverage determination for medical devices and diagnostics approved or cleared out of the FDA Breakthrough Device designation program. KidneyIntelX was granted breakthrough device designation in May 2019 and is currently under review by the agency as part of this process.
As Medicare beneficiaries make up the majority of individuals with kidney disease in the United States, we believe this represents a critical component in the pursuit of our national commercial strategy.
Pricing for the unique CPT code for KidneyIntelX was finalized by CMS effective January 2020 at
We are pursuing a comprehensive Medicaid contracting program and, to date, have secured Medicaid contracts in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming with additional state contracts expected throughout the course of fiscal 2021 and 2022. We are also targeting an increase in other private and public insurance and purchasing contracts during the same period.
As reported in August 2020, we submitted the final KidneyIntelX package for FDA consideration under breakthrough device designation. Due to the large influx of COVID-19 related emergency use authorization (“EUA”) requests, the FDA has experienced delays in submission processing timing across the diagnostic industry. In February 2021, the FDA sent written notification to us stating that it expected the final review process would return to normal no later than April 15, 2021 and did not expect any further delays in process due to the sustained volume of EUA requests in response to the pandemic. While we will continue to decline forecasting specific timing for potential FDA clearance of KidneyIntelX, we view this notification as a positive step in the right direction.
We are continuing to build our regulatory expertise through both direct hires and retention of key contracted experts. In January 2021, we retained the services of Dr. Alberto Gutierrez, recently retired Director of the FDA’s Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiologic Health, and Dr. Doug Jeffery, recently retired Branch Chief and Acting Deputy Division Director in the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health to support the KidneyIntelX ongoing regulatory strategy and process.
Addressable Market and Business Strategy
One of our top priorities is to build a broad distribution network and increase physician access for KidneyIntelX over the course of 2021 to serve the U.S. diabetic kidney disease population once KidneyIntelX receives FDA clearance and national Medicare coverage.
We are increasingly optimistic about achieving distribution capability under our model of partnering with health care networks such as Mount Sinai. In addition to our announced partnership with DaVita Inc. (“DaVita”) and University of Utah, we expect to announce additional partnerships during the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. We believe these additional partnerships could materially increase patient and physician access to KidneyIntelX throughout the course of calendar 2021 in advance of broader insurance coverage.
We are also evaluating more aggressive growth strategies to increase distribution, sales and marketing capacities in the United States and global territories. Strategic options may include the hiring of a specialized direct sales force to complement our hospital network partnered implementation model.
MCIT may also confer other material advantages including the ability for concurrent deployment of KidneyIntelX over a broader geographic footprint. Given the range of insurance payors that provide coverage in each market, the process of achieving majority population coverage can be laborious, incremental and require considerable time. With a majority of the KidneyIntelX initial indicated use population insured through a national Medicare coverage determination, risk associated with reimbursement in a given major high-concentration geography would be considerably reduced. KidneyIntelX deployment will focus on a region-by-region basis taking into consideration a number of demographic and economic factors in an effort to maximize return on capital and human resource efficiencies.
Product Development
We are continuing development work on expanding the indicated use population for KidneyIntelX risk assessment to the broader CKD population which includes the important, underserved population of kidney disease patients of African and Hispanic ancestry. These populations have been disproportionate sufferers of end stage kidney disease and we intend to provide access to advanced technology embedded in the KidneyIntelX platform to level the playing field in relation to access, knowledge and clinical care through kidney disease prognosis and treatment. We expect to broaden the indicated use of KidneyIntelX to the larger CKD population as early as calendar 2022.
Due to the large and incremental population groups that would potentially be served by expanding indicated uses, we estimate the total addressable market for KidneyIntelX could increase to an estimated 37 million individuals in the United States.
The KidneyIntelX product line is classified as an in vitro prognostic and is anchored by a real-time patient blood draw and biomarker assessment. The biomarker assessment is combined with selected information from a patient’s EHR, all processed by a machine-learning enabled algorithm. We believe that to achieve early and accurate disease prognosis, real-time biology accessible through a current blood or urine biomarker assessment is required.
Real-world Testing Experience
During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, we began our clinical testing experience with KidneyIntelX within the Mount Sinai Health System. Despite COVID-19 restrictions, this real-world experience has met or exceeded targeted quality metrics and physician and patient satisfaction measures. To date, KidneyIntelX has been ordered by and test reports have been delivered to over 25 primary care and specialist physicians in the Mount Sinai network. Concurrently, we performed services for Mount Sinai to support establishing a care navigation function based on early stage DKD risk assessment, including physician and practice education, physician and patient materials, electronic order integration and care navigation deployment. We expect to start recognizing revenue from our work with Mount Sinai in the quarter ending March 31, 2021. We also anticipate expanding clinical testing deployment to additional physician practices in the Mount Sinai Health System through the remainder of fiscal 2021.
The KidneyIntelX software platform has been designed with a number of significant features to ensure efficient clinical testing implementation and, we believe, provides an outstanding platform for future feature development. KidneyIntelX cloud computing architecture couples data control and encryption protocols and has been verified to high standards. These standards ensure secure and timely access to the order information and data necessary to execute the test in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements. Working collaboratively with an extended team of information technology professionals, we have developed a robust data pipeline that can provide access to KidneyIntelX for all clinicians across the Mount Sinai Health System and allows the creation of a rich database (using de-identified data) for ongoing product development and shared value generation through advanced data analytics. Key features of the platform such as the patient test report incorporating health system specific care pathways are uniquely developed to be translatable to other health systems and EHR platforms.
We have continued building KidneyIntelX study data with key findings to be presented at World Congress of Nephrology, American Diabetes Association and Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society in 2021. Findings include further validation in large international trial cohort, monitoring therapeutic response and impact in clinical decision making/therapy management.
COVID-19 Effects
COVID-19 has provided a challenge to our business, particularly during the high-intensity first deployment of KidneyIntelX in the Mount Sinai Health System. During our fiscal second quarter both New York State and Mount Sinai reinstated COVID-19 surge protocols which set specific guidelines for prioritization of resources and introducing restrictions to combat infection spread. We have also seen potential KidneyIntelX patients hesitate to visit treating clinicians and blood collection stations necessary to conduct testing.
Fortunately with vaccinations now underway, we anticipate that these restrictions will be temporary with impact on business operations declining over the next several months.
We have approximately doubled the size of our employee headcount since our listing on Nasdaq in July 2020. Many key personnel have been hired using only Zoom conference with no in-person interviews. These personnel have continued to work remotely through the course of the first KidneyIntelX implementation and expanding deployment. While we believe our team has performed admirably and maintained a high level of productivity, the ultimate effects of virtual operation remain unknown. We have elected to participate in the social security deferral program offered under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, whereby we can defer payment of the employer portion of all social security taxes that would otherwise be payable from April 15, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Payment of the deferred amount is due
We anticipate COVID-19 will have substantially less impact on our ability to scale KidneyIntelX implementation and testing in fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021.
Additional Business
The Renalytix/Mount Sinai joint venture, Kantaro Biosciences LLC (“Kantaro”), has made material business progress with its quantitative COVID-19 serologic antibody testing program. Kantaro has achieved key milestones including 1) FDA Emergency Use Authorization, 2) obtaining a CE Mark, which is a mandatory conformance mark that certifies the product has met EU consumer, health and environmental requirements, 3) entering into a scaled production and distribution agreement with Bio Techne Corporation, and 4) a UK/European sales and marketing agreement with EKF Diagnostics Holdings plc. Kantaro has started to generate revenue and our share of the equity method investment in Kantaro is reflected within the financial statement line item Equity Losses in Affiliate. We are exploring the possibility of broadening the product technology and intellectual property portfolio of Kantaro.
In July 2020, we spun out Verici Dx Limited (“VericiDx”), which was subsequently admitted for trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in November 2020. The successful listing and associated financing of VericiDx have now provided VericiDx with capital to drive its portfolio of kidney transplant products to validation and subsequent commercialization beginning as early as calendar year 2022. We believe VericiDx’s unique technology and published data represent a step-change forward in kidney transplant that can drive improvements in patient quality of life, standard of treatment, cost savings and long-term viability of transplanted organs. Renalytix holds a
Current Outlook
We view fiscal 2021 as our business launch year and one with the following objectives: 1) increasing visibility to distribution to primary care and specialist clinicians through partnered deployment with at least three health care providers and payors; 2) continuing to generate validating health economics, real-world evidence utility and performance data for submission to peer-reviewed publication; 3) increasing insurance coverage; and 4) establishing sequential quarter revenue growth for the December, March and June reporting periods.
For the six months ending December 31, 2020, we are reporting revenue of
We continue to expand our business to accommodate multiple revenue pathways from KidneyIntelX testing sales, pharma driven development programs and other strategic partnership initiatives including our recently announced partnership with DaVita (NASDAQ: DVA). However, given the early stage nature of our commercial business and the challenges operating in a COVID-19 restricted environment, we do not expect any material revenue for the 12 months ended June 30, 2021 as we continues to focus on ensuring that all necessary regulatory and commercial building blocks are in place to enable us to scale rapidly.
For fiscal 2022, we expect a material inflection point for revenue growth to occur if KidneyIntelX receives FDA clearance and concurrent opt-in for national Medicare coverage, and an easing of COVID restrictions due to broad population vaccination uptake. We are targeting a blended gross margin across all lines of KidneyIntelX testing of greater than
We view fiscal 2022 as a year in which we plan to validate our ability to grow significant market share and revenue from KidneyIntelX testing, and pharmaceutical and other strategic partnerships. In addition, we expect our total addressable market will increase materially with the introduction of subsequent KidneyIntelX versions and potentially expanded indications.
