The RNS informing us about the collab with iGenomeDX, is a bit vague and the way it reads to me is that iGenomeDX already is COLA/CLIA accredited.
"First COLA and CLIA Accredited Laboratory in USA confirmed"
"·Cizzle Biotechnology, the UK based diagnostics developer of early cancer tests, is pleased to announce that its licensing partner Cizzle Bio Inc ("BIO" or "Cizzle Bio") has appointed iGenomeDX, a specialist clinical diagnostics laboratory to launch the Company's first commercial CIZ1B biomarker test in the USA. iGenomeDX is a Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation ("COLA") accredited and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments ("CLIA") certified clinical laboratory and has been establishing operating and quality systems ahead of offering the test to clinicians for the first time.
iGenoneDX appointed by BIO as first clinical diagnostics laboratory to offer commercial CIZ1B biomarker testing.
· This follows successful collaboration and support between Cizzle, iGenomeDX and BIO to complete an operational and quality systems programme designed to meet the exacting standards required in iGenomeDX's COLA accredited, CLIA certified laboratory, designated to validate CIZ1b as a laboratory developed test for commercial use ahead of the launch of the CIZ1B biomarker test."
To me it seems COLA/CLIA is already in place for this specific lab, so maybe the "slightly extended timeline" to launch isn't due to COLA/CLIA but rather expanding the network and getting additional labs onboard and aligned with COLA/CLIA to "enable a more co-ordinated and comprehensive campaign to roll out the CIZ1B biomarker test."
Could be wrong on this but just the way i interpreted it.
