MDxHealth SA (NASDAQ: MDXH)

MDxHealth SA, a commercial-stage precision diagnostics company (MDXH), operates in the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on providing non-invasive, clinically actionable, and cost-effective urologic solutions to improve patient care. The company's primary business activities involve developing and commercializing proprietary tests that enhance prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.

MDxHealth generates revenue primarily through its Prostate Cancer segment, which caters to the prostate cancer diagnostic market. This market is substantial, with an estimated 3 million men screened annually, 500,000 men undergoing biopsies, and 299,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. The company's primary products include Select mdx, Confirm mdx, and GPS, which are used to provide personalized genomic insights to physicians and patients. These tests have been well-validated in clinical studies and are covered by Medicare and most private insurance payors.

The company's competitive strengths within the industry include its targeted menu improving prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment decisions, strong commercial focus and presence, commercial channel advantage, compelling reimbursement strategy, robust and reliable technology, and proven leadership with industry expertise. These advantages position MDxHealth well in the prostate cancer diagnostic market, where it faces competition from OPKO Health, ExosomeDx, Bio-Techne, and Beckman Coulter, among others.

MDxHealth's key products include Select mdx, a non-invasive urine test that measures the expression of two mRNA cancer-related biomarkers combined with an advanced clinical model; Confirm mdx, a well-validated epigenetic test that guides the detection of occult prostate cancer; and GPS, a test that measures the expression of a panel of genes in prostate cancer tissue to predict the likelihood of adverse pathology, risk of metastasis, and prostate cancer death.

In terms of reimbursement, MDxHealth's tests are covered by Medicare and most private insurance payors, and the company continues to secure additional contracts from major payors using its Medicare LCDs for Confirm mdx, Select mdx, and GPS as a foundation.
