NEW YORK, NY, REHOVAT, ISRAEL, SINGAPORE, Dec. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Todos Medical (OTCQB: TOMDF), an in vitro diagnostics company focused on distributing comprehensive solutions for COVID-19 screening and diagnosis, and developing blood tests for early detection of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, today provided a corporate update to the market, as well as an outlook for the Company as it heads into 2021.
COVID-19 Testing Sets the stage for the future
Todos recently completed the installation of two (2) Tecan® liquid handlers at its largest lab client in Wisconsin, thereby providing the lab liquid handlers in addition to automated extraction systems. After optimizing the workflows following the installation, we are confident this lab will be able to process up to 20,000 qPCR tests per day, with the lab now operating 24 hours per day, seven (7) days a week. This PCR testing capacity positions the lab to be able to increase sample inflows from its contract with the State of Wisconsin by up to 450%, which in turn will significantly increase order flow for Todos’ PCR testing consumables.
Additionally, we are preparing to complete the installation of a similar lab automation workflow process at another lab in Brooklyn, NY in the month of December, which will bring that lab’s testing capacity to 20,000 PCR tests per day. Taken together, we are demonstrating Todos’ ability to provide lab clients with automated workflows that can achieve high-throughput PCR testing capacity, coupled with the fact that this is a repeatable model that can significantly drive revenue. We intend to strategically scale existing clients and bring on new clients that have developed solid contracts for sample processing that will allow them to order large volumes of tests per day, leading to increased PCR sales for Todos.
As PCR testing continues to grow, recent advances in vaccine development will drive immune testing to understand whether immunity has been attained in individuals, either by prior COVID-19 infection or COVID-19 vaccination. Todos has established relationships with leading companies developing next-generation immune-based blood testing, and we intend to add these tests to our offering as they gain regulatory approval. Additionally, our proprietary 3CL protease test is in the final stages of testing before launch of lab-based test that will be complementary to existing PCR testing by confirming the activity status of the virus-positive patients. This assay will give better understanding of whether a patient remains contagious following quarantine or therapeutic intervention, and whether the Company’s proprietary dietary supplement Tollovid® could have an impact on the length of time a person remains infected. A clinical trial for Tollovid is being prepared in Israel.
Our business model is now set on offering genetic and immune testing reagents & kits to our clients, as the genetic testing capabilities labs are acquiring now in response to the COVID-19 crisis will allow them to expand their offerings to make available more cost-effective, scalable, genetic and immunology testing solutions to the market in the future. We believe this could drive the next wave of innovation in the US laboratory industry and give rise to better health information that will empower patients and physicians to make better decisions that will improve outcomes and reduce costs. The infrastructure required to turn the promise of personalized medicine into a reality is largely being pushed forward in response to COVID-19, and we see this as a megatrend that will continue well into the future.
We believe the mobile testing labs we have been helping advance have a similar opportunity to improve the landscape for testing in the United States by creating a proprietary outlet for novel testing solutions that will further support the nation’s testing infrastructure. Bringing testing forward in a new, more personalized way that reduces wait times and is agile enough to be deployed anywhere will survive the pandemic and will ultimately provide another key distribution channel for our testing solutions.
Todos’ Breast Cancer testing will become more central in 2021
2020 forced Todos to establish its commercial testing operations initially focused on COVID-19. As we head into a long winter where we expect cases to spike to record levels before vaccination programs can hopefully help reduce the severity of the pandemic, we are also beginning to think about the post-pandemic future and how Todos can establish itself as an important player in the diagnostic testing business for the long-term. As such, we are focused on utilizing the opportunity provided by COVID-19 testing to position for launch of diagnostic testing through the commercial outlets we are establishing now.
We intend to focus our pipeline initially on breast cancer where we are building up significant intellectual property around our proprietary TBIA/FTIR platform, and commercial infrastructure by way of the strategic acquisition of Provista Diagnostics, so that we can consolidate our commercial opportunity and optimize assay performance as we go to market in 2021 in breast cancer blood testing.
Summary
2020 has really forced Todos to focus on establishing commercial operations so that we can position the Company to capture scalable revenue in the face of steep competition. As we begin to significantly execute on the COVID revenue opportunity, we are leveraging our proprietary distribution channels in such a way that we will be able to deploy our other proprietary testing products through those channels to be able to scale our more proprietary testing solutions that could have an impact far beyond COVID-19.
We are working hard on closing out 2020 on a high note, and expect 2021 to be a transformational year for Todos as we build upon the initial commercial success we are seeing in 2020. We are excited with the opportunity before us to dramatically improve testing in the United States.
