1 Tumor monitoring in a drop of blood. PRECISION MEDICINE STARTS WITH A FINGER STICK. circulogene.com

2 Circulogene Theranostics solution to liquid biopsy. Novel cell-free DNA enrichment method for high quantity and high quality starting materials: Circulating, cell-free DNA is highly fragmented and presented at very low concentrations; therefore, its isolation is challenging. It requires high volume input, costs, and labor intensity. Circulogene s proprietary, cell-free DNA enrichment process possesses novel characteristics of low input (as low as 50 ul of blood) and high output (>300ng/mL), allowing ultra-high recovery and detection of tumor DNA directly from a droplet volume of unprocessed plasma. Advanced NGS technology for sensitive longitudinal mutation detection: The updated EURTAC study demonstrates that mutations detected in cfdna are prognostic and consistent with data obtained from tumor biopsies, the editorialists wrote. More broadly, the potential benefits of liquid biopsies include a better evaluation of the tumor genome landscape with the identification of a comprehensive set of targetable mutations and the serial noninvasive monitoring, which may allow the detection of additional mutations from emerging subclones, including those involved in the development of acquired resistance. Detection of multiple, low-frequency mutations through periodic cell-free DNA analysis could predict tumor progression before the lesions are large enough to be detected by imaging. Analysis beyond a single mutation could also be used to identify and quantify tumor heterogeneity for effective treatment decision making. Liquid biopsies are not as spatially limited as tissue biopsies, and can show a global spectrum of mutations that occur throughout tumor development. The sensitivity of conventional analytical methods such as Sanger sequencing is not sufficient to detect low-frequency variants. Targeted deep sequencing by next-generation sequencing (NGS) provides a cost-effective alternative for high-throughput analysis of multiple mutations with high sensitivity. Validated sample processing and analysis procedure in clinical practice: The utility of cell-free DNA for clinical application demands the implementation of stringent pre-analytical validation of our laboratory-developed tests to ensure consistent quality data acquisition in our CLIA-certified laboratory.

3 Through our patented, liquid biopsy process, Circulogene Theranostics delivers tumor monitoring from droplets of blood. Non-Invasive Precision Medicine Because Circulogene s patented technique enriches the sample, analysis only requires 50 microliters of blood from a finger stick, which is more convenient for healthcare professionals and patients. Accurate Identification of Tumor Mutations Circulogene s tests analyze for the presence of cell-free DNA, identifying and quantifying any tumor mutations for accurate reporting and monitoring. The CORRECT trial was the first large clinical trial to compare liquid versus conventional tissue biopsy data, and the results show that liquid biopsy obtains more data on tumor mutations throughout the course of the disease, enabling us to better target therapy to the specificities of a patient s tumor, Josep Tabernero, M.D., Ph.D., M.Sc., head of the medical oncology department of Hospital Universitario Vall d Hebron and author of the CORRECT study. Tumor Mutations Matched with Treatment In our personalized gene reports, Circulogene further provides information on current FDA-approved treatment options proven effective for the tumor DNA mutations identified. Track Responsiveness Frequently The efficiency of Circulogene s process empowers physicians to closely monitor tumor responsiveness and adjust treatment protocols. Turnaround time is 5 to 7 days, much faster than tissue biopsy results and other liquid biopsies. Tumor Burden and Recurrence The Circulogene process uses precise baseline data from which to measure cell turnover and progression. A Yield of 1,000x with 1/10 of the Sample We compared the sensitivity of our proprietary cell-free DNA enrichment method to the standard DNA extraction kit used industry-wide today. Results demonstrated 1,000x more cell-free tumor DNA in the original sample using a single drop of blood.

4 Precision Medicine Technological advances combined with an improved understanding of the genetic basis of cancer has allowed individualized profiling that is revolutionizing personalized medicine and cancer treatment. With a simple finger stick, Circulogene s patented technology utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) to monitor known tumor mutations (approximately 3,000) in the scientifically established cancer-associated genes listed below.
