HALIFAX, NS / ACCESSWIRE / December 30, 2024 / MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSXV:MIR), reported today on its financial results for the quarter ended October 31, 2024.
Corporate update
During Q1 FY2025, MedMira has been continuing its regulatory work and clinical trials for its Reveal® G4 HIV-1/2 rapid test CLIA-waiver and with it made substantial progress on its FDA application. At the same time, the Company achieved a number of regulatory milestones in the Canadian market, such as the subsequent to Q1 FY2025, Health Canada approval of MedMira's Multiplo® Rapid TP/HIV Test (Multiplo® TP/HIV).
Major milestones
During Q1 FY2025, the Company continued its regulatory work on MedMira's product lines in Canada, due the significant changes in the Canadian markets focus on high quality, rapid and cost-effective testing alternatives. In Q1 FY2025, MedMira in partnership with REACH Nexus at St. Michael's Hospital's MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions, received the full funding for the clinical trials from the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) for its Multiplo® Complete Syphilis (TP/nTP) Antibody Test (Multiplo®TP/nTP). This grant was received in response to Health Minister Mark Holland's announcement to fight the growing syphilis pandemic in North America. The Company was able to complete its pre-clinical work within a faster than anticipated time frame and subsequently to Q1 FY2025, received the ITA (investigational testing authorization) from Health Canada and with it, is able to commence its main clinical trials.
On the 24th of December 2025, MedMira received the Medical Device License for its Multiplo® TP/HIV for professional use. As a result, the Company is able to offer its products in the Canadian market and will launch its product in January 2025. MedMira has establish a network of distribution partners with an existing clientele such as laboratories, hospitals. Given the substantial demand for affordable and high-quality testing solutions, the Company anticipates a higher-than-expected revenue growth in the Canadian market over the coming financial quarters. In respect to the clinical data achieved and the high demand for this product, the Company is currently expanding its application to non-professional healthcare users to reach markets and customers beyond the traditional healthcare setting.
Furthermore, with the received regulatory approval of the Multiplo® TP HIV, the Company expects an immediate regulatory license for its Reveal® TP (Syphilis) Antibody Test and its Reveal® G4 HIV-1/2 Antibody Test. With this step, MedMira is able to offer a flexible product portfolio for its clients and partners. This is an essential step to gain a larger footprint in the market and allow specific healthcare professional to focus on their respective field.
In Q1 FY2025, the Company has made significant progress with its clinical trials in the United States for the US FDA CLIA-waiver of its FDA approved Reveal® G4 HIV-1/2 rapid test. As a result of the important progress with the clinical trials, the Company recorded higher expenses in its General and Administrative Costs. This increase in costs is in direct relation to the positive progress made with the clinical trials and have been an expected investment by the Company to gain access to the CLIA-waiver HIV rapid testing market. MedMira will provide a more detailed update on the next steps within January 2025.
