(NYSE: TMO) Thermo Fisher Scientific and (OTC: PRED) Predictive Laboratories Announce Global Infertility Research Collaboration

Studies aim to elucidate infertility genetics for development of noninvasive test to support decision making and improved outcomes for women pursuing fertility treatment

CARLSBAD, Calif., June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Thermo Fisher Scientific announced today that it has entered into a global research collaboration with Predictive Laboratories, a wholly owned subsidiary of Predictive Technology Group, Inc., (OTC PINK: PRED) focused on studying the genetic factors underlying infertility in women. The work will utilize Thermo Fisher’s various offerings for reproductive health, including Applied Biosystems CarrierScan Assay, Ion ReproSeq PGS Assay, CytoScan Dx Assay, and Ion AmpliSeq Exome RDY for whole exome sequencing.

Infertility has many potential causes, which may involve one or both partners. In some cases, no cause of the condition can be determined, leading the infertility to be described as “unexplained.” The most common causes among women are irregular ovulation, blockage of the fallopian tubes, and endometriosis. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) reports that at least 40 percent of women with infertility have endometriosis.

Endometriosis occurs when the endometrial tissue that lines the uterine wall grows in other areas of the body outside of the uterus. While the symptoms are well-characterized, including pelvic pain, heavy periods, and pain during sexual intercourse or bowel movements, the disease is highly variable and many women have asymptomatic endometriosis, which has a significant impact on their fertility. The studies with Predictive Laboratories aim to elucidate the genetic basis of this condition, which is expected to more accurately define which women will experience infertility.

“Infertility among women who seek to conceive has become an increasingly common condition, which leads to much frustration and financial burden as they seek alternative solutions,” said Bradley Robinson, CEO of Predictive Technology Group. “Our collaboration with Thermo Fisher brings together our innovative research and development capabilities with market-leading next generation sequencing technology to better understand the genetics of infertility for future development of a diagnostic solution.”

Worldwide, around 70 to 80 million couples currently experience infertility, which causes significant depression, anxiety, and loss of work productivity. The ability to identify women who will experience trouble conceiving will allow for early intervention and personalized treatment planning that may result in fewer cycles to achieve a successful pregnancy.

“We look forward to this exciting and important work with Predictive Laboratories to better understand infertility in women,” said Yan Zhang, general manager, reproductive health at Thermo Fisher. “With the combination of our partner’s expertise and our advanced solutions for genetic analysis, we are committed to reducing the future financial and emotional burden couples face while undergoing fertility treatment.”

Biotech Company Growing Revenues, Seeking NASDAQ Listing

PRED is bringing the future of medicine to the present

Good day everyone,

We are continuing our coverage of Predictive Technology Group, Inc. (OTC: PRED), a company that aims to revolutionize patient care through predictive data analytics, novel gene-based diagnostics and companion therapeutics.

PRED shares have had a tremendous spring. Trading under $2.00 per share in March and jumping to over $6.00 recently. The past few trading sessions have seen the share price soften as traders take some well-deserved profits. This share price consolidation has created a potential opportunity for our members. The catalysts and financial metrics that drove the PRED shares higher are not only still in place, but getting better. Do your due diligence and pick an entry level.                           

PRED currently derives the majority of its revenues (exceeding $10 million per quarter) from the cellular therapy division that provides products derived from amniotic tissue and Wharton’s Jelly that are used by physicians in a variety of healing applications. The company is not required to conduct clinical trials for its cellular therapy products because they do not make efficacy claims.

To facilitate revenue growth, the company may focus efforts on obtaining FDA approval for its suite of diagnostic tests and allogenic cell products. They could also become a supplier of cellular products to strategic partners in areas such as oncology and orthobiologics as well as a provider of inventory to tissue banks.

Predictive also intends to bring drugs to the market. Last month the company signed letter of intent with IQVIA (Formerly Quintiles and IMS) to guide the regulatory FDA process for potential drugs beginning with CoreCyte™ for osteoarthritis of the knee.

Also last month, the company announced that Predictive Laboratories has reached an enrollment milestone of 200 participants in its ongoing Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved study of spine and joint disease leading to chronic pain. It’s possible this study could lead to a reduction in the use of opioids.

The company’s substantial cash flow ($3.1 million last quarter) can help to facilitate the development of new products that require clinical trials.

PRED has a proprietary genealogy database with over 30 million individuals and greater than 300,000 DNA samples, a valuable resource that can isolate genes that are implicated in disease and generate tests that are highly accurate.

PRED has articulated a growth plan for each of its four segments. Predictive Biotech will continue with cellular therapy products, which do not make any efficacy claims while Predictive Therapeutics will pursue products that require review and approval from the FDA. CellSure will focus on procurement of tissue, optimizing cell yields and quality and offering storage services for new mothers. Predictive Laboratories, created through the acquisition of Taueret, will continue to develop and commercialize genetic diagnostic tests.

Predictive’s marketing efforts in cellular therapy consists of over 20 sales team members and over 75 distributors that will target the naturopathic physicians, chiropractors, orthopedists, anti-aging, and cosmetic medicine and other specialties. The sales team, formerly consultants at Predictive, have only been employees for a couple of months.

Predictive’s products include:
AmnioCyte is a minimally manipulated human tissue allograft derived from amniotic fluid.

AmnioCyte Plus is a minimally manipulated human tissue allograft derived from the extracellular matrix of the amniotic membrane.

PolyCyte is a minimally manipulated human tissue allograft derived from the Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord.

CoreCyte is a minimally manipulated human tissue allograft derived from the Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord.

ARTguide is the first, non-invasive, integrated test for endometriosis and genetic causes of infertility.

PG Plus helps healthcare providers prevent adverse drug reactions by providing genomic information.

We believe the anticipated uplist to the NASDAQ may send PRED shares soaring. Many institutions and funds are precluded from investments in OTC companies. A NASDAQ listing could open the floodgates for those types of investors.

There is increasing demand for the company’s human cell and tissue products.

Gross profit margin for first nine months of fiscal 2019 was 63.8%.

Cash provided by operating activities for or the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.1 million.

PRED has a fiscal year end of June 30^th, so their Q4 and year end data will be forthcoming in the near term. If that data confirms the continuation of good financial results and corporate developments, it could act as a significant catalyst for the company’s shares.

Senator Orrin Hatch lends a great deal of credibility to the company’s board. Hatch was one of 58 senators who signed a letter directed to President George W. Bush, requesting the relaxing of federal restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. In 2010, Hatch’s bill was reauthorized which allowed stem cells from umbilical cords to be used to find treatment options.

Predictive’s work with cellular therapy could have implications beyond the current scope of their operations. The technology is so new, we don’t yet know the possibilities, or the impact it could have on the treatment of many diseases.

In the year 2000, science completed the mapping of the human genome and many thought “this is really going to change medicine down the road”. Here we go.
