Commercial Agreements

Pfizer companion diagnostics
MDxHealth, Pfizer Inc. and academic partners signed an agreement in January 2011 to collaborate on the identification and development of a biomarker predicting response to a drug candidate for PARP inhibition, PF-01367338. The partners believe identification of a successful predictive biomarker could potentially lead to the development of a companion diagnostic to guide treatment decisions in ovarian and breast cancers. In June 2011, Pfizer transferred its PARP inhibitor drug program to Clovis Oncology, Inc. Clovis intends to target development programs at specific subsets of cancer populations, and will simultaneously develop diagnostic tools that direct a compound in development to the population that is most likely to benefit from its use.

Merck KGaA (Merck Serono) companion diagnostics
MDxHealth and Merck have extended their existing collaboration using MDxHealth's patented companion diagnostic test (MGMT) with cilengitide, Merck's brain cancer drug that is in phase III clinical testing. The companies are working with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to include the MGMT test in the label of an eventual brain cancer drug.

MGMT companion diagnostic for brain cancer treatment
At ASCO, the RTOG published data on the company's MGMT test (PredictMDx for BrainTM) showing that it successfully identified those recently diagnosed glioblastoma patients more likely to live longer and have a longer progression free time period following treatment with Merck/MSD's (Schering-Plough's) temozolomide drug.

Prostate Cancer ClinicalDx test
In a new study, MDxHealth demonstrated that its' prostate cancer test could accurately detect cancer in prostate glands that was otherwise not detected or missed using standard histopathology. The reported methylation patterns act as so-called "field cancerization effect" biomarkers to detect prostate cancer missed due to biopsy sampling errors.

Licensing partners report progress
Exact Sciences Corporation reported progress in using MDxHealth technology for developing a stool-based colorectal cancer screening test. Predictive Biosciences reported very promising clinical data in using MDxHealth technology for developing a urine-based test for detecting bladder cancer. Both partners need to pay milestone fees and royalties on their eventual products that use MDxHealth's technology.

Corporate changes

In April 2011, the company completed a private placement with institutional investors throughout Europe, raising EUR 8.2 million of gross proceeds. As a result of this capital increase, Mr. Rudi Marien became the second largest shareholder of MDxHealth with a 9.3% stake in the company.

In June 2011, Mr. Rudi Marien (of Biovest bvba and Gengest bvba) joined the Board of Directors of MDxHealth, replacing Mr. Denis Biju-Duval of ING Bank.

The company appointed a new Scientific Advisory Board with a focus on clinical applications and prostate cancer

Operational update
After obtaining ISO certification for the company's European lab in 2010, the company is in the process of filing for CLIA certification for its commercial lab facilities (Irvine, California, and Liege, Belgium).

Secured state-of the art commercial laboratory space in Irvine, California and hired the initial US-based commercial laboratory team

Outlook for the second half of 2011

For the full year 2011 MDxHealth expects:

· Revenues to remain stable compared to 2010. An increase in revenues is expected in 2012 when the company launches its prostate test via its US CLIA laboratory.

· Total operating costs are expected to remain similar to those of 2010 and to be higher in H2 2011 than in H1 2011 as the company increases expenditures for the set-up of its US CLIA lab for commercial operations starting in 2012. Besides the set-up costs of the CLIA lab, the company will begin incurring costs for hiring US lab technicians and US sales representatives in H2 2011.

· The net result is expected to remain similar to that of 2010.

The second half of 2011 will be dedicated to pursuing the company's promising companion diagnostics partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and to setting up its US CLIA lab operations so that direct sales of its prostate test can commence in 2012.
