Financial highlights
Post-period end
Julian Baines, Non-Executive Chairman, said: “The Company has made strong progress over the past six months, with some key milestones reached ahead of schedule as we look to commercialise our innovative organ transplant products.
“We initially partnered with five leading US centres in our collaborative, multi-centre observational clinical validation study. We have since expanded to partner with a total of twelve US and European centres for the validation study and completed patient enrolment for Clarava™ and Tuteva™ ahead of schedule We remain on target for the validation study to be completed by the end of 2021 for lead products, in line with expectations set out at IPO, with the data to be submitted for publication in Q1 2022.
“Post-period end, we obtained a CLIA Certification of Registration for our US clinical laboratory in Tennessee. Having a CLIA-certified lab will enable us to launch our two lead products commercially, subject to the successful conclusion of our analytical validation studies. I’d like to thank all of our employees and shareholders for their ongoing hard work and support over the past six months and into the next phases of commercialisation.”

Verici Dx is developing and commercialising tests to understand how a patient will and is responding to organ transplant, with an initial focus on kidney transplants. The body’s own immune system poses a threat to a successful transplant or graft. Patients’ immune systems differ in how they respond to the presence of the transplanted organ, characterising this response is called immune phenotyping. Our products and solutions are underpinned by extensive scientific research into the recipient’s immune phenotype and how that impacts on acute rejection, chronic injury and ultimately failure of the transplant. These immuno-profile signatures also inform clinicians as to the optimal strategy for immunosuppressive and other therapies for the most successful treatment to ensure graft acceptance with the least amount of side effects.
The foundational research was driven by a deep understanding of cell-mediated immunity and is enabled by access to expertly curated collaborative studies in highly informative cohorts in kidney transplant.
