Cxbladder Test Volumes Steady in Q1 25

Quarterly Update9 July 2024PEBHealthcare

10 JULY 2024


CXBLADDER TEST VOLUMES STEADY IN Q1 25

DUNEDIN, New Zealand – Cancer diagnostics company Pacific Edge (NZX, ASX: PEB) today

announces tests processed at its laboratories in the three months to the end of June 2024 were

steady on the prior quarter (Q4 24) as we continued to benefit from improved performance

from a lean sales force in the US, an acceleration of demand in New Zealand and sustained

growth from Kaiser Permanente.

Volumes in Q1 25 flattened to 7,188 tests, a figure down 0.3% on the 7,210 tests in Q4 24. US

volumes were 5,905 tests down 3.2% on the 6,099 in Q4 24. The result follows from a further

reduction in our direct sales team and previously reported improvements in sales force

efficiency alongside a growing contribution from Kaiser Permanente following the incorporation

of Cxbladder into its electronic medical records system.

Q1 25 saw another reduction in US account executives, down to an average of 15 FTEs across

the quarter from 16 FTEs in Q4 24. This drop follows a decision to limit backfilling of commercial

staff while Medicare reimbursement uncertainty continues.

The combination of fewer FTEs and the increased Kaiser Permanente volumes has lifted our

sales force efficiency metric (403 tests per average sales FTE in Q1 25 vs 381 in Q4 24 and

288 in the same period a year ago).

In the US, tests per ordering clinician (our preferred metric for measuring customer

commitment to Cxbladder) increased to 6.8 in Q1 25, from 6.7 in Q4 24 reflecting ongoing

efficiency improvements, our enhanced sales messaging, which focuses on the clinical value

of Cxbladder in the evaluation of hematuria, and again the impact of the increased Kaiser

Permanente volumes.

Asia Pacific volumes were up 15.5% on Q4 24 to 1,283 tests. The region benefited from an

increase in demand from New Zealand for surveillance evaluations in particular (Cxbladder

Monitor volumes were up 17%). The result also benefited from demand from new regions in

the South Island delivering samples. Volumes from Australia and Asia reached a new quarterly

record although totals remain small.

Further details on test volumes and other developments in the quarter are included in the

investor update released today.

Released for an on behalf of Pacific Edge by Grant Gibson, Chief Financial Officer.

OVERVIEW

Pacific Edge: www.pacificedgedx.com

Pacific Edge Limited (NZX/ ASX: PEB) is a global cancer diagnostics company leading the way

in the development and commercialization of bladder cancer diagnostic and prognostic tests

for patients presenting with hematuria or surveillance of recurrent disease. Headquartered in

Dunedin, New Zealand, the company provides its suite of Cxbladder tests globally through its

wholly owned, and CLIA certified, laboratories in New Zealand and the USA.

Cxbladder: www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder is a urine-based genomic biomarker test optimized for the detection and surveillance

of bladder cancer. The Cxbladder evidence portfolio developed over the past 14 years includes

more than 20 peer reviewed publications for primary detection, surveillance, adjudication of

atypical urine cytology and equivocal cystoscopy. Cxbladder is the focal point of numerous

ongoing and planned clinical studies to generate an ever-increasing body of clinical utility

evidence supporting adoption and use in the clinic to improve patient health outcomes.

Cxbladder has been trusted by over 4,400 US urologists in the diagnosis and management of

more than 100,000 patients, including the option for in-home sample collection. In New

LETTER FROM THE CEO

LOOKING TO THE CATALYSTS

OF THE FIRST QUARTER

Dear Shareholders,

The first quarter of the 2025

financial year will be the

last quarter before we learn

how Novitas, our Medicare

Administrative Contractor, has

responded to our comments and

finalizes DL39365.

Once again, I’m tremendously

proud of the team at Pacific Edge;

one that has delivered on key

strategic milestones and sustained

commercial performance despite

the uncertainty regarding Medicare

reimbursement for Cxbladder.

Test volumes processed through

our laboratories were steady

over Q4 24, down 0.3% to 7,188

(see pages 3 and 4). Laboratory

throughput was supported by

a strong performance from our

APAC operation, led primarily

by growth in the New Zealand

market and a sustained growth

trajectory from our US customer

Kaiser Permanente. These gains

were diluted by attrition in the sales

force as we have continued to limit

the backfilling of commercial staff

while Medicare reimbursement

uncertainty continues.

As I highlighted in our Annual

Report released at the end of June,

Q2 25 is likely to feature three

significant developments that will

be highly determinative of our

results for the current financial year

and our strategy at least for the

short to medium term.

Novitas is expected to finalize

the draft LCD ‘Genetic Testing for

Oncology’ (DL39365) by the end

of July including a response to all

submitted comments. This final

LCD directly affects the Medicare

reimbursement of our Cxbladder

tests and the rate of adoption.

By September we are also

expecting the Centers for

Medicare and Medicaid Services

to have reviewed our proposal

for a Cxbladder Detect

+

price of

approximately $1,590 (see page

5). Detect

+

delivers significant

performance improvements over

our existing tests thanks to its

incorporation of DNA biomarkers

of bladder cancer. A favorable

outcome for Detect

+

pricing is

expected to significantly increase

the value of our total addressable

market, improve the economics

of promoting our tests, and if

supported by positive language

in the microhematuria guidelines,

accelerate the rate of adoption by

clinicians and healthcare payers.

Finally, we will also soon learn

if our recently released STRATA

1


study, which demonstrated the

clinical utility of Cxbladder Triage

to risk stratify microhematuria

patients, is sufficient to convince

the American Urological

Association to make an amendment

to the 2020 guidelines for the

evaluation and management of

hematuria. A favorable outcome

(coupled with a positive Medicare

coverage determination) would

entrench Medicare coverage

of Cxbladder, drive demand

with physicians and patients

and improve our ability to

influence coverage by private

healthcare payers. In the event

of a Medicare non-coverage

determination, guidelines inclusion

would significantly increase the

probability of regaining coverage.

“A favorable outcome

for Detect

+

pricing

is expected to

significantly increase

the value of our total

addressable market,

improve the economics

of promoting our tests,

and if supported by

positive language in

the microhematuria

guidelines, accelerate

the rate of adoption

by clinicians and

healthcare payers.”

We expect all these matters

to be settled before our Annual

Shareholder Meeting to be held on

24 September 2024 in Auckland.

Consequently, in keeping with the

approach we took last year, we

intend at this meeting to offer a

1

Lotan et al. (2024). A Multicenter Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Cxbladder Triage to Cystoscopy in Patients With Microhematuria. The Safe Testing

of Risk for Asymptomatic Microhematuria Trial. (In Press) The Journal of Urology Vol 212 1-8 Jul 2024.

‘deeper dive’ into the business with
presentations from our Chair, Chris

Gallaher, myself as well as other

senior management. It will also be

the last time Chris and Mark Green

attend the meeting as Directors of

the company and we look forward

to the opportunity to acknowledge

and celebrate their contribution.

While the last 12 months have

been unsettling for investors, I

remain steadfast in the view that

even in the event of short-term

adversity, the long-term view for

Pacific Edge remains one of rapid,

sustained growth once we gain

certainty over Medicare’s continued

coverage of our tests. The key

question is – in the face of these

immediate developments – how we

execute on the opportunities before

us to achieve that goal.

We will update Shareholders

ahead of the ASM with the agenda,

and with these key events resolved,

I am confident that we can provide

transparent insight into our

strategy and answer any questions

you may have.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Best regards,

Dr Peter Meintjes

TEST VOLUMES

US SALES TEAM SUSTAINS PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

Tests processed through our laboratories in the three months to the end of June 2024 were steady on the prior

quarter (Q4 24) as we continued to benefit from improved performance from a lean sales force in the US, an

acceleration of demand in New Zealand and sustained growth from Kaiser Permanente.

Volumes in Q1 25 flattened to 7,188 tests, a figure down 0.3% on the 7,210 tests in Q4 24. US volumes were

5,905 tests down 3.2% on the 6,099 in Q4 24. The result follows from a further reduction in our direct sales team

and previously reported improvements in sales force efficiency alongside a growing contribution from Kaiser

Permanente following the incorporation of Cxbladder into its electronic medical records system.

Q1 25 saw another reduction in US account executives, down to an average of 15 FTEs across the quarter from

16 FTEs in Q4 24. This drop follows a decision to limit backfilling of commercial staff while Medicare reimbursement

uncertainty continues. The combination of fewer FTEs and the increased Kaiser Permanente volumes has lifted our

sales force efficiency metric (403 tests per average sales FTE in Q1 25 vs 381 in Q4 24 and 288 in the same period a

year ago).

In the US, tests per ordering clinician (our preferred metric for measuring customer commitment to Cxbladder)

increased to 6.8 in Q1 25, from 6.7 in Q4 24 reflecting ongoing efficiency improvements, our enhanced sales

messaging, which focuses on the clinical value of Cxbladder in the evaluation of hematuria, and again the impact of

the increased Kaiser Permanente volumes.

Asia Pacific volumes were up 15.5% on Q4 24 to 1,283 tests. The region benefited from an increase in demand

from New Zealand for surveillance evaluations in particular (Cxbladder Monitor volumes were up 17%). The result

also benefited from demand from new regions in the South Island delivering samples. Volumes from Australia and

Asia reached a new quarterly record although totals remain small.

ACKNOWLEDGING OUR TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES
CXBLADDER DETECT

PRICING

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED INVESTOR UPDATE | JULY 2024

5

If CMS shares our view and agrees that Detect

+


should attract a price of US$1,590, Pacific Edge

would gain significant upside to our existing market

opportunity for hematuria evaluation. The value of the

total addressable market would grow, our margin per

test would increase, the profitability profile of operating

a sales resource would increase and the risk associated

with scaling our sales force would decrease.

Coupled with the known published improvements

for Detect

+

and any future guidelines inclusion, the

rate of adoption by clinicians and healthcare payers

would also be expected to increase, significantly

changing the outlook for Pacific Edge.

The CMS price for Detect

+

sets the amount Pacific

Edge will be reimbursed for all patients with Medicare

and Medicare Advantage insurance (assuming a

positive coverage decision). While private health

insurance companies make separate coverage

decisions based on their own medical policy for a

test, the CMS price typically sets a benchmark for

non-contracted reimbursement and contracting

negotiations.

Pacific Edge publicly set out its arguments at the

CMS Clinical Lab Fee Schedule (CLFS) annual meeting

held at the end of June. Our team led by David Sosa,

Vice President of Market Access, argued CMS should

Crosswalk the price for Detect

+

to a combination

of Cxbladder Detect (with a price of US$760) and

an HPV

1

cancer test called NavDx (with a price

of US$827.69) developed by US precision cancer

company Naveris. NavDx is the only dd-PCR based

MAAA (multi-analyte with algorithmic analysis) test

with a price in the CLFS, and consequently, we believe

this is the most appropriate Crosswalk candidate

based on the technology and resource usage involved

in performing a Detect

+

test.

If CMS agrees with our Crosswalk proposal, we

expect to be notified by the time we gather for our

annual meeting in September. The price will then be

subject to a ‘Notice and Comment’ period of 60 days

before finalization and becoming effective on

1 January 2025.

However, if CMS does not agree with our Crosswalk

proposal, it may choose an alternative technology

match from their database with a different price or

direct Pacific Edge to a ‘Gap Fill’ process, potentially

delaying pricing by another year. We remain optimistic

about CMS’ assessment and its potential impact on

Pacific Edge’s financial performance.

1

HPV Human papillomavirus

Pacific Edge has made what we believe is a compelling case for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid

Services (CMS) to price Cxbladder Detect

+

via ‘Crosswalk’, a process that acknowledges the advancement of

incorporating both RNA and DNA markers for the detection of bladder cancer in patient samples.

SURVEY: PATIENTS SHOW STRONG
INTEREST IN NON-INVASIVE

ALTERNATIVES TO CYSTOSCOPY

BLADDER CANCER SURVEILLANCE

Patients being monitored for recurrent bladder cancer are

interested in non-invasive test alternatives to minimize the discomfort

and anxiety associated with cystoscopy.

That is the finding of a new survey of 1,507 US patients conducted

by Pacific Edge working with the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network

(BCAN).

Asked about their experience with cystoscopy, 42% of patients

indicated that they felt ‘moderate’ to ‘extreme’ discomfort during the

procedure. Meanwhile, 78% of patients indicated that they experienced

some pain, and 25% indicated that the pain was ‘moderate’ to ‘the

worst imaginable’. Furthermore, 56% of patients indicated that they

experienced ‘moderate’ to ‘extreme’ anxiety.

All patients in the survey were registered with BCAN’s Patient

Survey Network and were being monitored for recurrent non-muscle

invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

When presented with introductory information on Cxbladder

Monitor, a non-invasive urine test with the option of in-home sampling

that can help reduce the frequency of surveillance cystoscopy, 38%

of patients were willing to incorporate the test into their monitoring

schedule while a further 51% were interested and wanted to learn more.

Of significant note, 80% of patients rated the availability of urine-

based test options as moderately to extremely important. Despite this,

82% were unaware of leading test options such as Cxbladder Monitor

and 80% reported they had not discussed non-invasive test alternatives

with their doctor.

The results of the survey also suggest non-invasive diagnostic tools

such as Cxbladder Monitor may help to address an ongoing issue

with patient compliance. Recent American Urological Association

(AUA) data

2

suggests that the average length of follow-up monitoring

among NMIBC patients is just 1.8 years

2

. This is in sharp contrast to

the AUA guidelines which recommend regular cystoscopies for all risk

categories until at least 5 years after the most-recent removal of a

tumor. For high and intermediate risk patients, the expectation is that

scheduled checks continue indefinitely.

Pacific Edge Chief Medical Officer Tamer Aboushwareb said: “If

applied to the right patient population, clinicians have an opportunity

to dramatically reduce the burden of surveillance for recurrence in their

NMIBC patients with Cxbladder Monitor, simultaneously maximizing

patient comfort and improving compliance with long-term monitoring.

Reducing the frequency of cystoscopy required and the travel

burden linked to in-clinic visits also has a societal benefit that is often

unrealized.”

Andrea Maddox-Smith, CEO of the Bladder Cancer Advocacy

Network said: “As the leading bladder cancer advocacy organization

in the United States, we know that patients are interested in having

less invasive ways to diagnose and monitor NMIBC. Safe, reliable and

BLADDER CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
GLOBAL TEAMS RALLY BEHIND OUR MISSION

In May Pacific Edge joined with organizations around the world including the Bladder Cancer Advocacy

Network (BCAN) to support Bladder Cancer Awareness Month.

Bladder Cancer Awareness Month is a time for those affected by bladder cancer to stand together and

raise awareness of the disease while working to better support its care. Every year, over 610,000 people are

diagnosed with bladder cancer around the world, and more than 1.9 million people are living with the disease.

Globally, bladder cancer is the ninth most diagnosed cancer, and the sixth most common among men

.

This year, in response to recent patient survey findings and

AUA data suggesting surveillance compliance remains an

ongoing challenge (see page 6 for more detail), we led

with the campaign message ‘Stay on track’. This message

encouraged patients being monitored for recurrent NMIBC

to keep up with scheduled surveillance check-ups. To help

ease the burden of invasive testing, the campaign promoted

Cxbladder Monitor as a non-invasive alternative to surveillance

patients that can reduce the frequency of cystoscopy.

We anchored the ‘Stay on track’ campaign activity with the placement of collateral in urology clinics

across the US and communication of patient survey findings. Our teams around the world then worked

to raise the profile of Bladder Cancer Awareness Month with an orange themed dress up. This initiative

was promoted across our digital channels alongside social media posts designed to increase awareness of

bladder cancer symptoms and risk factors. ‘Stay on track’ social media posts reinforced the importance of

regular surveillance checks to ensure early detection of any recurrent disease.
