ABOUT GLYCOTEST

Our Company

Glycotest is a liver disease diagnostics company commercializing new and unique blood tests for life threatening liver cancers and fibrosis-cirrhosis.  Founded in 2012 by NetScientific plc on technology innovated by two experts in the fields of liver disease and glycobiology−Professors Timothy Block and Anand Mehta at Drexel University College of Medicine and the Baruch S. Blumberg Institute, we have exclusive, world-wide rights to over 50 patent-protected serum glycoprotein biomarkers, biomarker panels and algorithms, and novel assay technology that exploit sugar-based disease signals.  The Company’s lead test for curable early-stage liver cancer has significantly outperformed the current standard blood test in multiple preliminary clinical studies.  Our mission is to revolutionize the care and treatment of the at-risk chronic liver disease population, including the rapidly growing population with NASH.

First Test–HCC Panel for Early Detection

Our first test is the HCC Panel which is designed for the early detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). The HCC Panel is a surveillance test for patients who have had chronic liver disease and are at a higher risk of progressing to HCC. If HCC is detected early, it can be curable, but unfortunately, current test methods are not sensitive enough to catch most early-stage HCC. The HCC Panel test is currently being used in a 776 patient clinical validation study which we expect to be completed in mid-2023. We plan to launch the HCC Panel to improve the care of chronic liver disease patients provided by hepatologists and gastroenterologists.
