Notes for editors

 

About ANGLE plc www.angleplc.com (http://www.angleplc.com)

ANGLE is a world leading liquid biopsy company with sample-to-answer
solutions. ANGLE's proven patent protected circulating tumor cell (CTC)
harvesting technology is known as the Parsortix(®) system.

 

ANGLE's Parsortix(®) system is FDA cleared for its intended use in metastatic
breast cancer and is currently the first and only FDA cleared medical device
to harvest intact circulating cancer cells from blood.

 

Intended use

The Parsortix(®) PC1 system is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to
enrich circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from peripheral blood collected in
K(2)EDTA tubes from patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. The
system employs a microfluidic chamber (a Parsortix cell separation cassette)
to capture cells of a certain size and deformability from the population of
cells present in blood. The cells retained in the cassette are harvested by
the Parsortix PC1 system for use in subsequent downstream assays. The end user
is responsible for the validation of any downstream assay. The standalone
device, as indicated, does not identify, enumerate or characterize CTCs and
cannot be used to make any diagnostic/prognostic claims for CTCs, including
monitoring indications or as an aid in any disease management and/or treatment
decisions.

 

The Parsortix system enables a liquid biopsy (a simple blood test) to be used
to provide the circulating metastatic breast cancer cells to the user in a
format suitable for multiple types of downstream analyses. The system is based
on a microfluidic device that captures cells based on a combination of their
size and compressibility. The system is epitope independent and can capture
all phenotypes of CTCs (epithelial, mesenchymal and EMTing CTCs) as well as
CTC clusters in a viable form (alive). CTCs harvested from the system enable a
complete picture of a cancer to be seen; as being an intact cell they allow
DNA, RNA and protein analysis as well as cytological and morphological
examination and may provide comparable analysis to a tissue biopsy in
metastatic breast cancer. Because CTC analysis is a non-invasive process,
unlike tissue biopsy, it can be repeated as often as needed. This is important
because cancer develops and changes over time and there is a clear medical
need for up-to-date information on the status of a patient's tumor. In
addition, the live CTCs harvested by the Parsortix system can be cultured,
which offers the potential for testing tumor response to drugs outside the
patient.

 

The Parsortix technology is the subject of 26 granted patents in Europe, the
United States, China, Australia, Canada, India, Japan and Mexico with three
extensive families of patents are being progressed worldwide.

 

In the United States, the Parsortix(®) PC1 system has received a Class II
Classification from FDA for use with metastatic breast cancer patients. FDA
clearance is seen as the global gold standard. ANGLE's Parsortix system is the
first ever FDA cleared system for harvesting CTCs for subsequent analysis.
ANGLE has applied the IVD CE Mark to the same system for the same intended use
in Europe.

 

ANGLE has also completed three separate 200 subject clinical studies under a
programme designed to develop an ovarian cancer pelvic mass triage test, with
the results showing best in class accuracy (AUC-ROC) of 95.4% with sensitivity
of 90% and specificity of 93%. This excellent clinical result demonstrates the
utility of cells harvested by the Parsortix system, which the Company believes
is the "best sample" for liquid biopsy analysis as it recovers intact, living
cancer cells that are involved in the progression of the disease providing
prospective information.

 

ANGLE has established formal collaborations with world-class cancer centres
and major corporates such as Abbott, Philips and QIAGEN, and works closely
with leading CTC translational research customers. These Key Opinion Leaders
(KOLs) are working to identify applications with medical utility (clear
benefit to patients), and to secure clinical data that demonstrates that
utility in patient studies. The body of evidence as to the benefits of the
Parsortix system is growing rapidly from our own clinical studies in
metastatic breast cancer and ovarian cancer and also from KOLs with 77
peer-reviewed publications and numerous publicly available posters from 33
independent cancer centres, available on our website.

 

ANGLE has established clinical services laboratories in the UK and the United
States to accelerate commercialisation of the Parsortix system and act as
demonstrators to support product development. The laboratories offer services
globally to pharmaceutical and biotech customers for use of Parsortix in
cancer drug trials and, once the laboratories are accredited and tests
validated, will provide Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) for patient
management.
