CXBLADDER REVOLUTIONISES HOW UROLOGISTS DETECT AND MANAGE UROTHELIAL CANCER

Four class leading, urine based diagnostic tests for UC addressing multiple unmet needs across the clinical pathway:

==> picture [289 x 281] intentionally omitted <==

Cxbladder Triage (CxbT): Front line test for use in the primary evaluation of haematuria to rule out patients who do not have cancer

Cxbladder Detect (CxbD): For use by urologists for patients who have been referred for a full UC workup to detect cancers

Cxbladder Resolve[1] (CxbR): Segregates High Impact Tumours (HIT) from Low Impact Tumours (LIT) enabling a prioritisation of patients with cancer

Cxbladder Monitor (CxbM): Provides front line identification for urothelial cancer patients being monitored for recurrence of the disease

Integrated into standards of care and guidelines for a number of healthcare providers in New Zealand and the NCCN guidelines in the U.S.

REIMBURSEMENT

COVERAGE BY THE CMS PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT VALIDATION AND COMMERCIAL MILESTONE

The successful LCD decision has allowed Pacific Edge to start recognising revenue (under NZ IFRS 15) for tests that are performed on CMS patients (Medicare and Medicare Advantage) in the US at the CMS price of US$760 per test for Medicare

ü CMS* reimbursement coverage for Cxbladder Detect and Cxbladder Monitor from 1 July 2020 at US$760 per test

ü CMS related tests (Medicare and Medicare Advantage) accounted for 67% of U.S. commercial test volumes in FY21

ü Cxbladder Detect and Cxbladder Monitor accounted for the majority of U.S. commercial test volumes in FY21

ü Inclusion in the CMS’s Local Coverage Determination (LCD) has resulted in a significant increase in recognised revenue and cash receipts – with CMS tests paid in approximately 30 days

ü Many global healthcare providers regard CMS reimbursement as a significant validation – which is expected to pave the way for wider adoption

  • Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is the US National insurance payer for all US citizens over 65 years of age

PIVOTAL CLINICAL PAPER

HIGHLIGHTS SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT FROM USE OF MULTIPLE CXBLADDER PRODUCTS

  • § Co-authored by leading U.S. urologists and accepted for publication in the Journal of Urology[*]

  • § Demonstrates the significant clinical and patient benefits from the use of a combination of Cxbladder products to:

  • § Firstly rule out those who do not have cancer;

  • § Then accurately identify those with cancer; and

  • § Finally, segregate out those with high-impact tumours for priority investigation.

  • § Highlights the enhanced clinical resolution from the integrated use of Cxbladder tests to provide 4.8x higher efficacy in the segregation of patients by risk class, than the latest American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines

The Journal of Urology is the official journal of the American Urological Association (AUA) and the most widely read and highly cited journal in the field of Urology. The paper publication on 8 July 2021

17

RECENT PUBLISHED EVIDENCE SUPPORTS OUTPERFORMANCE OF CXBLADDER PRODUCTS

Real world use of the Patient –In-Home-Sampling-System for patients at home in the US during the Covid-19 pandemic

American Urological Association’s (AUA) Journal of Urology - “real world lookback study” highlighting the clinical utility of Cxbladder Monitor being used in the Covid setting for managing patients outside the clinic

The publication concluded that the use of Cxbladder Monitor and Pacific Edge’s Patient-In-Home Sampling System:

  • Could be used to further stratify low risk patients for decreased surveillance during the pandemic and beyond;

  • Reduced the number of cystoscopies required; and

  • Was feasible and safe for patients being monitored for urothelial cancer during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The clinical paper was authored by Carrisa Chu, Kevin Li, Maxwell Meng and Sima Porten from the Department of Urology at the University of California San Francisco. The paper published Journal of Urology September 2021

18

GUIDELINES INCLUSION WILL ACCELERATE GROWTH

Inclusion in guidelines is a progressive process requiring substantive clinical evidence and generally follows post mainstream adoption by healthcare providers.

Cxbladder has been included in:

  • New Zealand’s national standard of care and many of the local guidelines, replacing the gold standard cystoscopy

  • The U.S.’s NCCN Guidelines with a 2b recommendation for patients being monitored for recurrence of urothelial cancer

Our focus will continue on:

  • The publication of additional peer reviewed evidence highlighting the validation and clinical utility of the Cxbladder products in our target markets

  • Changes are now being seen in both AUA and EAU 2020 guidelines wording that could help facilitate our inclusion
