The eAArly DETECT 2 study is expected to complete enrollment in the second half of 2025 and the Company targets reporting topline results by the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on the study’s outcome, Mainz Biomed intends to finalize its protocols for ReconAAsense, the Company’s U.S. pivotal study, which is on track to initiate in 2026. This next-generation CRC test will not only detect cancerous polyps with a high degree of accuracy but can potentially prevent the disease through early detection of precancerous adenomas. “The launch of eAArly DETECT 2 is an important milestone for the Company as it enables us to accelerate the timeline to evaluate the potential of these biomarkers to be incorporated into our U.S. pivotal study, which is on track to initiate in 2026,” commented Guido Baechler, Chief Executive Officer of Mainz Biomed. “The potential inclusion of advanced adenomas in Mainz BioMed’s next generation CRC screening test will represent a transformational advancement in self-administered CRC screening. Precise detection of advanced adenomas as well as early-stage CRC supports our mission to transform colorectal cancer screening practices and reduce global cancer mortality rates.” The five novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers, which the Company acquired from the Sherbrooke University in 2022, have demonstrated a unique ability to identify advanced adenomas, i.e. curable precancerous colonic polyps, as well as treatable early-stag...
