Genetic Technologies Announces up to 6 New Breast Centres to Begin Offering BREVAGenplus(R)
(firmenpresse) - MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/29/15 -- Molecular diagnostics company Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG) (NASDAQ: GENE) ("Company") is pleased to report that up to 6 new breast diagnosis/treatment centres are expected to begin offering to their at-risk patients in a systematic broad fashion in the January to March timeframe, with a growing number of additional new breast and imaging centre customers expected to follow later in calendar year 2015. As a result, the Company expects sales growth to accelerate in the second half 2015 and beyond.
Prior to the release of BREVAGenplus, the Company revised its sales strategy to focus on large comprehensive breast treatment and imaging centres, in concert with its ongoing approach to independent physician and women''s healthcare providers. This recent pivotal change of sales and marketing emphasis towards large breast centres, which are more complex entities with a longer sales cycle, but with higher potential, is expected to lead to significant acceleration in growth and less volatile test volumes than the Company has experienced to date.
In October 2014, the Company announced the US release of BREVAGenplus, an easy-to-use predictive risk test for the millions of women at risk of developing sporadic, or non-hereditary, breast cancer, representing a marked enhancement in accuracy and broader patient applicability, over the Company''s first generation BREVAGen™ product. Results from BREVAGenplus provide physicians with valuable information to assist in developing a patient-specific Breast Cancer Risk Reduction and Screening Plan based on professional medical society guidelines, such as the American Cancer Society (ACS) () and The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) ().
Genetic Technologies is a molecular diagnostics company that offers predictive testing and assessment tools to help physicians proactively manage women''s health. The Company''s lead product, BREVAGenplus®, is a clinically validated risk assessment test for non-hereditary breast cancer and is first in its class. BREVAGenplus® improves upon the predictive power of the first generation BREVAGen test and is designed to facilitate better informed decisions about breast cancer screening and preventive treatment plans. BREVAGenplus® expands the application of BREVAGen from Caucasian women to include African-Americans and Hispanics, and is directed towards women aged 35 years or above, who have not had breast cancer and have one or more risk factors for developing breast cancer.
The Company has successfully launched the first generation BREVAGen test across the U.S. via its U.S. subsidiary Phenogen Sciences Inc. and the addition of BREVAGenplus®, launched in October 2014, significantly expands the applicable market. The Company markets BREVAGenplus® to healthcare professionals in comprehensive breast health care and imaging centres, as well as to obstetricians/gynaecologists (OBGYNs) and breast cancer risk assessment specialists (such as breast surgeons).
