• Cancer patients do not all respond to treatment in the same way

• This can be due to genetic differences

• Analysing these genetic differences can help to target specific therapies, improving response rates and reducing adverse effects

• This is the basis of personalised medicine

• There are more than 14 million new cancer diagnoses and 8 million deaths globally per year

• Up to 100 cancer cells can be found in 10ml of blood from cancer patients• Circulating tumour cells have been found for all cancers

(except brain) • These cells can be used for;

• cancer diagnosis• treatment monitoring• detection of recurrence and • screening of the general healthy population for earlier

detection

• Testing of these circulating tumour cells (liquid biopsy) may one day replace more invasive biopsy procedures

• These tests require 1,000s of cells of DNA

• There are 290 FDA registered trials, of which 184 are testing circulating tumour cells (CTCs), 46 are testing circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and 30 are testing both

• 74% of CTC trials simply count the number of cancer cells, leaving a huge depth of information currently untapped

• 20% of the trials have industry sponsorship, the remainder are publicly funded, suggesting that this is an early stage market

18Circulating fetal cells

• Fetal cells from the unborn baby enter the maternal circulation through the placenta. • These circulating fetal cells contain complete intact copies of

the fetal DNA• These cells can be used to test the baby for severe genetic

abnormalities like Down syndrome

• Testing of circulating fetal cells from the mother’s blood may eventually replace the more invasive procedures of amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling• Invasive procedures using cell free fetal DNA have decreased

by 60% in the USA since the introduction of non-invasive prenatal tests

19Non-invasive prenatal testing

• The testing of circulating fetal cells is similar in many respects to embryo testing • The same genetic conditions are screened – aneuploidy,

severe genetic disorders

• The circulating fetal cells are isolated using technology similar to isolating circulating tumour cells• Product optimisation of DOPlify™ is relevant to both markets

• RHS is already collaborating with companies in the US and Europe for this application

21Preimplantation Genetic Testing

• IVF embryos often have the wrong number of chromosomes

• This increases dramatically in women over 35 years of age and is a major cause of IVF failure and miscarriage

• By taking a few cells from the early developing embryo, it is possible to identify unaffected embryos to transfer. This procedure, previously called PGS, was recently renamed PGT-A, Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy

• RHS has two products for this application, PG-Seq™ using Next Generation Sequencing and EmbryoCellect® using microarrays. Both kits include DOPlify™ to amplify the few biopsied cells• PG-Seq™ is a complete workflow including DOPlify™, NGS

library preparation reagents and software

• PG-Seq™• Has 98.4% sensitivity and 100% specificity with 5 cells =

current IVF embryo biopsy size• For testing whole chromosomes down to smaller genetic

changes

• EmbryoCellect ®

• The majority of the IVF market has migrated to NGS; EmbryoCellect ® is expected to be a short term opportunity for the remaining array users

• The kit contains the only array that is compatible with all 24Sure scanners already in the market

• These products are research use only labelled

• There are also genetically inherited diseases that can be screened in embryos. This procedure, previously called PGD, was recently renamed PGT-M, Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic disorders

• Medicare subsidises genetic screens for BRCA1 and 2 mutations in patients diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer and their families.

• IVF with PGT-M could be used to screen their embryos in the future. This would identify unaffected embryos that can be transferred and provides the ability to remove the mutation from future generations.

• RHS has already released proof of principle for the detection of BRCA1 mutations from samples of 5 cells using its proprietary protocol.

RHS offers

• Service labs and clinics with existing in-house testing• A single workflow (ie the same basic protocol steps) for PGT-A and

PGT-M• Higher throughput on existing Illumina equipment providing lab

efficiencies and reduced test turn around time with no need to invest in further infrastructure

• A method for embryo identification confirmation to assist with sample management

• New customers introducing PGS• Lower cost equipment option• Detailed technical support and on-boarding through our own service

lab

• The global PGT market• World-leading advances in non-invasive PGT using culture medium

that is collected after the embryo has been grown in it

• RHS is committed to enabling non-invasive PGT through optimisation of our products. We are partnering with clinics at the leading edge of sample collection and using our expertise in our own products to get the best results. We are the only company that has announced that we are actively co-developing non-invasive PGT• Monash IVF Group have been optimising the culturing

conditions and media collection• RHS have been optimising the performance of our WGA

product DOPlify™ to specifically suit this sample type

• Non-invasive PGT is the game changer. 93% correlation between the culture media and embryo biopsy has already been achieved. This is the highest correlation reported by any group from around the world

• There are approximately 2 million IVF cycles globally per annum and PGT-A adoption is estimated at 5-10%.

• Embryo biopsy is a major barrier to broader uptake

• Non-invasive PGT-A may dramatically increase its use• Faster to collect sample and can be a single collection time

per day, no need to monitor embryo development• Low tech, no embryologist biopsy training, no embryo

damage risk• No biopsy capex required• All embryos could be tested regardless of morphology or

biopsy feasibility• More palatable to patients, no risk to embryo itself, but

reduced clinc revenues• Scale up of test through-put important to meet increased

demand
