IPD’s bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) — provides a simple, non-invasive system for accurately measuring tissue composition and fluid status

First product, L-Dex[®] , allows early identification of lymphoedema — affects approximately 20% to 30% of cancer survivors

NCCN Guidelines[®] for Breast Cancer — Lymphoedema management included for the first time in guidelines (version 3.2015)

US reimbursement in place — L-Dex awarded a unique, dedicated CPT [® ] Category I code enabling physicians to seek reimbursement of US$112 per patient assessment effective 1 January 2015. Requires ongoing engagement with the local Medicare Administrative Contractors when and if necessary

Targeted commercial launch underway — 6 leading, large US cancer centres already participating in pilot program of L-Dex

Preparing for US National Launch commencing late CY2015

Strong clinical endorsement — premier US cancer centres and clinicians in various post-approval trials. L-Dex also increasingly incorporated into clinical practice guidelines

Potential for many additional BIS opportunities – measuring fluid status is vital to a broad range of chronic diseases

Highly experienced management team and Board former Medtronic executives responsible for commercialisation of multiple products in the US and international markets

• Fluid imbalance has significant clinical implications

  • Detailed knowledge of fluid levels provide critical information for:

  • Heart failure and stages of progression

  • • Cardiovascular complications

  • Potential adverse events in dialysis patients

  • Chronic swelling and lymphoedema

  • Accurate fluid and body composition measurements are critical to a patient’s clinical diagnosis and treatment; improving these measurements results in better outcomes

Simple and accurate measurement of fluid in limbs allows early detection and intervention

  1. Treatment for cancer can damage the lymphatic system and result in fluid build up in the extremities

==> picture [214 x 331] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [97 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [475 x 153] intentionally omitted <==

  1. L-Dex is able to detect the onset of lymphoedema very early, ~35 ml of fluid build up v 200 ml+ for other approaches

==> picture [66 x 97] intentionally omitted <==

  1. If detected early, the progression of lymphoedema can be prevented, and often reversed, by wearing a compression sleeve for ~4 weeks

==> picture [248 x 249] intentionally omitted <==

  • 1.If not treated, it can become an irreversible, life-long, debilitating condition that progressively gets worse

  • Fast – 5-10 mins to measure

  • Non-invasive – no dyes or radiation

  • Safe – no safety concerns reported after thousands of measurements

  • Accurate – precise algorithms analyse information and produce accurate, repeatable and immediate results

What We've Learned

  • Multidisciplinary Cancer Centres are best fit

  • Protocols integrated into Electronic Medical Records are key

  • Health Information Exchanges drive accessibility of data

  • Payors and providers are focused on Population Health Management (Identifying high risk-patient populations to improve care and control costs)

  • Level I evidence showing clinical utility is of great value

Why it Matters to IPD

  • Manage large chronic care patient populations

  • Ensures routine compliance and accelerates adoption

  • Once in electronic medical records, vital patient information is shared across all providers in the care continuum

  • Favours those products that provide important outcomes to high-risk patients at reasonable cost (such as L-Dex) as US Healthcare moves from Fee for Service to Value Based Medicine

  • Drives guideline adoption and reimbursement

NCCN Guidelines[®] standard for clinical policy in cancer care in the US

  • Guidelines have now formally recognised lymphoedema as a major, longterm, chronic disease that needs to be addressed

  • Most centres use guidelines in their care pathways

  • Each centre will have to develop an “acceptable” monitoring program

Guideline adherence will require centres to determine:

  • Options — tape measure, water displacement, or BIS (only objective measure)

  • Risk stratification — who gets tested

  • Frequency of testing — time, resources, and cost

  • Active versus passive surveillance

Next Steps (as high level clinical evidence increases)

  • Submit for BIS technology to be specifically included in NCCN Guidelines[®] for Survivorship

==> picture [142 x 101] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [216 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [233 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

  • Expand into additional national organisations' survivorship guidelines and care pathways

L-Dex already incorporated into clinical guidelines

  • Key position statements on early detection of lymphoedema — recommendations for BIS

==> picture [231 x 79] intentionally omitted <==

  • ALA, NLN, NAPBC

  • Formally published guidelines
