What problems do we solve? According to WHO, 14 million cancer patients are treated

What problems do we solve? According to WHO, 14 million cancer patients are treated annually with conventional chemotherapy. Problem Nearly 50% of these chemotherapy patients do not get much benefit from the treatments. They experience all the anguishes of chemotherapy but their tumors progress and their condition persists. Physicians then have to switch to a different regimen of chemotherapy, if it is not too late!

Accu. Dava solution We have developed an unprecedented molecular process to improve efficacy of personalizing cancer chemotherapy. Our test enables physicians to avoid ineffective drugs and select suitable treatments, based on a patient’s tumor molecular characteristics – before treatment begins. All this from a 60 -minute test on a tumor sample. Accu. Dava, Inc. Personalized Molecular Cancer Diagnostics

Accu. Dava’s technology is based on the identification of two “Cell-Surface Glycan Biomarkers” Specificity of Accu. Dava Biomarkers §It is on the cell-surface not within the cell. §It is a carbohydrate motif, not genomic or protein. - Glycans are dynamic molecules involved in cell-signaling, and on the front line of cell communication and defense.

Why Accu. Dava Technology? § Our products will be offered as “Prognostic Kits” for personalized cancer chemotherapy § Directly test the cancer specimen § Perform on-site in regular clinical lab setting § Kit components are readily available Accu. Dava, Inc. Personalized Molecular Cancer Diagnostics

Product/Service Concept: § Two “Companion Diagnostic Kits” will be introduced under the trade name

Product/Service Concept: § Two “Companion Diagnostic Kits” will be introduced under the trade name SETAXTM and SEPEXTM for predicting platinum-drugs response in ovarian cancer chemotherapy. § SETAXTM and SEPEXTM provide exclusive molecular information for chemotherapy management, by identifying patients who gain benefit from standard therapy with platinum drugs. § These tests can also be offered as a laboratory service, during the FDA clearance process for marketing SETAXTM and SEPEXTM.
