Company has developed its unique molecular diagnostic technology and embarked on its commercial

Cxbladder, a diagnostic test that enables better care, better clinical decision making and better use of

ABOUT Cxbladder Triage www.cxbladder.com

accurately identify patients with haematuria who have a low probability of bladder cancer and may not require a more
extensive urological evaluation. Cxbladder Triage is a tool for use by clinicians and physicians in primary evaluation of
patients with haematuria and is intended to reduce the need for an expensive and invasive work-up in patients who
have a low probability of having urothelial carcinoma.

ABOUT Cxbladder Detect www.cxbladder.com
Cxbladder Detect enables the non-invasive detection of bladder and other urinary tract cancers from a small volume of
a patients’ urine. Cxbladder Detect provides clinicians with a quick, cost effective and accurate measure of the presence
of the cancer as an effective adjunct to cystoscopy.
ABOUT Cxbladder Monitor www.cxbladder.com
Cxbladder Monitor allows urologists to monitor bladder cancer patients for recurrence of the disease. Bladder cancer
has a recurrence rate of 50-80% and requires life-long surveillance. Cxbladder Monitor accurately identifies patients
with a prior history of urothelial cancer (UC) whose Cxbladder Monitor score shows that they have a low probability of
recurrent urothelial carcinoma. Cxbladder Monitor is designed to be used as the preferred adjunct test to cystoscopy in
the management of patients for ongoing evaluation of recurrent bladder cancer.
ABOUT Cxbladder Resolve www.cxbladder.com
Cxbladder Resolve identifies those patients who are likely to have aggressive or more advanced bladder cancer.
Cxbladder Resolve, when used as part of the primary evaluation of haematuria and/or in conjunction with other
Cxbladder tests (Triage, Detect), is designed to assist clinicians by accurately identifying patients with a high probability
of having high grade or late stage bladder cancer, for whom alternative or expedited treatment options may be
warranted, or who can be prioritised for further investigation in high throughput settings.
