About Rhythm Biosciences
Rhythm Biosciences (ASX: RHY) is a transformative, predictive diagnostics company, specialising in early cancer detection. Rhythm’s initial business pursuit is centred upon technology originally developed by the CSIRO and involves the development and commercialisation of a screening and diagnostic test for the early detection of colorectal cancer, the third biggest cause of cancer-related deaths globally.
Rhythm’s lead product, ColoSTAT[®] , is intended to be a simple, affordable, minimally invasive and effective blood test for the early detection of bowel cancer for the global mass market. It is expected to be comparable to, if not better than, the current standard of care, the faecal immunochemical test (FIT), at a lower cost. ColoSTAT[®] also provides an alternative for those who choose not to, or are unable to, be assessed using standard screening programs.
ColoSTAT[®] is designed to be used easily by laboratories without the need for additional operator training or additional infrastructure. ColoSTAT[®] has the potential to play an important role in reducing the morbidity and mortality rates and healthcare costs associated with colorectal cancer via increasing current screening rates.
Globally, over 850,000 people die from colorectal cancer each year. Colorectal cancer is typically diagnosed at a later stage when there is a poor prognosis for long-term survival. Annual estimated unscreened 50-74-year old’s is estimated at +130m for the US, EU and AU alone, with this market potential being more than $6.5b.
