About Sienna Cancer Diagnostics Ltd.
Sienna is a medical technology company that develops and commercialises diagnostic tests to assist in the early and accurate diagnosis of cancer, enabling improved treatment and patient outcomes. Sienna’s first product, hTERT, a test that aids in the diagnosis of bladder cancer, has been launched and is being commercialised through a growing network of distribution partners globally.
Sienna entered the global liquid biopsy market in 2019 via the strategic acquisition of a “Molecular Net” technology called SIEN-NET[TM] . The first commercial embodiment of SIEN-NET is EXO-NET[TM] , which has been specifically designed to purify a patient sample for cancer-associated exosomes.
The Company recently announced the signing of an exclusive worldwide licence agreement with the University of Adelaide to develop and commercialise a unique cancer probe, SubB2M, which binds to a unique sugar molecule only present in human cancers and can detect its presence in the serum of cancer patients. SubB2M has the potential to detect cancer in a range of testing modalities such as liquid biopsies, immunoassays, circulating tumor cell assays and PET imaging.
