DGAP-Adhoc: Ad hoc Announcement Pursuant to § 15 WpHG (German Securities Trading Act): Epigenomics' Partner BioChain Successfully Completes Clinical Validation Study for CFDA Approval of Epi proColon(R) in China

Epigenomics AG / Key word(s): Study/Miscellaneous 24.04.2014 12:10 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Berlin (Germany), Germantown, MD, and Newark, CA (U.S.A.), Beijing (China), April 24, 2014 - Epigenomics AG (Frankfurt Prime Standard: ECX, OTCQX: EPGNY), and BioChain Institute Inc. (BioChain), today announced that BioChain has completed its major clinical validation study to validate Epigenomics' blood-based Septin9 screening assay Epi proColon(R) for the early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) with the goal to gain market approval for the test in China. In addition, BioChain has officially submitted an application to the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) in April for the approval of Epi proColon(R). Both companies expect commercialization of the test in China to start in 2015. The clinical validation study was designed to evaluate the clinical performance of Epi proColon(R) for the detection of CRC and is part of the required data package to seek regulatory approval in China. From November 2013 to March 2014, a total of 1,074 patients at three top ranking hospitals in China were tested by using Epigenomics' Epi proColon(R) 2.0 CE assay. Epi proColon(R) detected 74.8% of the cancer cases (sensitivity) and correctly identified 97.4% of the patients free of disease (specificity). The tested study cohort included 300 cancer cases in stages I to IV. The results were marked as positive when at least two out of three samples of the test triplicate were evaluated as positive. The results were in line with those achieved in Epigenomics' European CE marking study reported in 2011, which followed the same principle of data interpretation (80% sensitivity and 99% specificity). - End of Ad hoc - Contact Epigenomics AG Antje Zeise CIRO Manager IR | PR Epigenomics AG Phone: +49 (0) 30 24345 386 ir@epigenomics.com www.epigenomics.com Epigenomics' legal disclaimers.
