CardioIncode is the only test that has been validated with an evidence base of over 70,000 individuals from different population groups. This evidence base was subject to research and development costs of over €50m, with clinical trials and such like being performed over a 10 year period. With an enhanced and balanced patent portfolio, CardioIncode should be subject to a de novo application during the course of Q3 with ongoing discussions with the FDA only possible if it ultimately met the de novo criteria. With the average de novo timeline to a decision taking 241 days, the lead up to 2H 22” could IMO lead to a performance similar to that of AGL from 40p as news flow drives sentiment/volume.
CardioIncode test analyzes 170 genetic variants from blood or saliva, and when used in conjunction with SITAB. The Company’s SITAB system, a proprietary software, bioinformatics and algorithmic platform with online cloud-based reporting, is used to process and record test results and genetic information and, using algorithms and artificial intelligence, assesses a patient’s risk of a cardiovascular event. It reports results directly via a web portal to healthcare practitioners, cardiologists and physicians, in a user-friendly format.
It is also the only available genetic test for the assessment of cardiovascular risk that measures the patient’s genetic load and integrates it into the current risk profile of the patient.
Ultimately it is the evidence base and simplification of a genetic platform and integration of a sample to answer program (SITAB) to practitioners. This platform is well supported by the key opinion leaders within the sector that has created a barrier to entry of sorts, such as investment (€50m), time (10 years) and in turn an evidence base that is unrivaled on a like for like basis.
I understand a newly IPO’d company going through a period of extreme growth evidenced by the considerable commercialization plan over the next 12 months on multiple levels could justify a slower implementation plan of an investor relation department that isn’t otherwise walbrook. I can certainly forgive, overlook this in favor of such an exciting opportunity ahead.
It is this lack of understanding that has presented what is a modest valuation at best and presents a significant opportunity for those that are happy to do a deep dive into the companies prospects. Hope this helps.
