The company also completed the development and evaluation of a second-generation cancer detection sensor, launched a joint venture designed to focus on a novel cancer-treatment technology and medical-device development, and filed 261 patent applications globally, among which 150 patents have been granted. AnPac is also continuing to build a proprietary cancer-risk assessment database, which totaled some 244,310 samples as of Sept. 30, 2021. “We are very pleased with our progress in research and development, commercialization, and operational performance for the first nine months in 2021,” said AnPac Bio chair and CEO Dr. Chris Yu in the press release. “We grew revenue by 55.3% and gross margin by 8.8 percentage points. At the same time, we reduced non-GAAP loss by 6.0%. Our number of issued patents, and clinical and commercial sample sizes all reached record high in Q3 2021. We are making solid progress in obtaining regulatory approval for our class III medical device for lung cancer assisting in diagnosis and have also submitted application for registration testing of our multi-cancer detection medical device for 11 types of cancer. We are also working very hard to obtain Laboratory Developed Test (‘LDT’) status for our CDA cancer test in the U.S. Based on our current status and progress, we now expect to obtain registration approval for our class III medical device (for lung cancer assisting in diagnosis) in late 2022.”
