About this update from Evofem Biosciences, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"\nAditxt, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTX) (“Aditxt” or the “Company”), an innovation platform dedicated to accelerating promising health innovations, today announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, Pearsanta, Inc. (“Pearsanta”), has entered into a Market Development Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with women’s health pioneer Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”) (OTCQB: EVFM) focused on Pearsanta’s blood-based diagnostic test for endometriosis.\n\nEndometriosis is a chronic disease associated with severe, life-impacting pain. It affects approximately one in ten women of reproductive age around the world – approximately 190 million women and girls - according to the World Health Organization.1\n\nPearsanta’s Mitomic® Endometriosis Test (“MET™”) looks for a specific deletion in mitochondrial DNA (“mtDNA”), which is a novel, proprietary biomarker for endometriosis.

To date, over 300 endometriosis cases have been evaluated using the MET; 600 are planned to support its clinical validation.\n\nThis collaboration supports Evofem’s strategy to expand its commercial offering of innovative products that address key challenges in women’s health. The company currently commercializes a single-dose oral treatment for bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis and a hormone-free contraceptive vaginal gel. Its long-term goal is to deliver comprehensive healthcare solutions spanning prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sexual and reproductive health concerns facing women at every stage of life.\n\n“We believe that Evofem's proven expertise and strategic focus on women’s health make them the ideal partner for the U.S. launch of our Mitomic Endometriosis Test. Their deep industry knowledge and established relationships will be invaluable as we introduce this innovative diagnostic to the market and pave the way for future applications of our mitochondrial DNA platform,” said Christopher Mitton, Pre...
