Dr Arif Anwar will present an overview of the commercialisation strategy of the company, as well as applications of its well-differentiated and patented KREX technology for intra-disease stratification and autoimmune and cancer immunotherapy drug response prediction. The identity of the autoantibody biomarkers discovered from these applications can also guide drug development decision-making for the pharmaceutical industry, allowing for the early elimination of poor drug candidates. For clinical stage candidates, this can result in very significant cost savings as well as acceleration of the best candidates towards faster FDA drug approval. For commercially launched drugs, KREX offers unparalleled opportunities to gain market share by identifying new true responders.
Sengenics currently has partnerships with 9 out of the top 20 pharma to co-develop complementary and companion diagnostic tests for autoimmune and cancer immunotherapy drugs. The company has commenced the process for obtaining FDA 510(k) approval for several of these tests and plans to launch them in 2020. Sengenics’ key value drivers, which are derivatives from enhancing precision medicine, are primarily based on maximising the probability that drugs are prescribed only to patients who have a greater than 90% chance of responding to them. These new Sengenics tests offer a compelling business case for the pharmaceutical industry as well as medical insurance companies, whilst ultimately delivering upon the promise of precision medicine for autoimmune and cancer immunotherapy drugs.
