PREDICTIVE BIOTECH SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT WITH IQVIA TO BEGIN CLINCIAL TRIAL FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE
/in Predictive Technology Group /by Yes InternationalCompany shifts focus of human cell and tissue products to biopharmaceuticals
SALT LAKE CITY (May 14, 2019) – Predictive Technology Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: PRED), a leader in the use of data analytics for disease identification and subsequent precision therapeutic intervention, announces the signing of a letter of intent with IQVIA (Formerly Quintiles and IMS) to guide the regulatory strategy for its wholly owned subsidiary Predictive Biotech. This collaboration will accelerate the process of identifying and executing the appropriate regulatory pathways for the Company’s existing products and future product candidates.
Specifically, IQVIA will guide Predictive Biotech in its U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Investigational New Drug (IND) application and subsequent clinical trial for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The Company expects to meet with the FDA during the third quarter of 2019 to discuss the submission of the IND with the objective of determining the safety and effectiveness of CoreCyte™ compared to a placebo control for treatment of OA of the knee. The Company will work with the FDA to determine if the FDA will accept the current safety data from over 75,000 patients previously treated with CoreCyte™.
Eric Olson, Predictive Biotech President and CEO, said, “This OA of the knee study is the first of several trials that Predictive Biotech intends to conduct for our cellular therapy injectable products. We are excited to leverage IQVIA’s expertise as we expand our focus from human cell and tissue products (HCT/Ps) into the biopharmaceutical market.”
Given the lack of effective treatment options for patients with OA of the knee, and the high risks associated with using opioids to manage pain, the Company anticipates seeking an accelerated Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation.
“CoreCyte™ has the opportunity to address a significant unmet clinical need by providing an alternative to opioids, cortisone and/or hyaluronic injections for treating OA knee pain,” added Olson.

PREDICTIVE TECHNOLOGY GROUP ANNOUNCES ENROLLMENT MILESTONE OF 200 PARTICIPANTS IN PREDICTIVE LABORATORIES’ STUDY FOR CHRONIC JOINT AND SPINE PAIN
/in Predictive Technology Group /by Yes InternationalSALT LAKE CITY (May 7, 2019) – Predictive Technology Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: PRED), a leader in the use of data analytics for disease identification and subsequent precision therapeutic intervention, announces its wholly owned subsidiary Predictive Laboratories has reached an enrollment milestone of 200 participants in its ongoing Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved study of spine and joint disease leading to chronic pain.
The primary objective of the IRB study is to conduct genetic research related to healthcare advancement in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions causing chronic pain. The first 200 participants have volunteered for the study by submitting their DNA samples to the Predictive Biorepository and by reporting detailed medical information through their healthcare providers.
“One in five American adults suffer with chronic pain and the use of opioids to address pain has led to an epidemic of addiction and overdose as sufferers attempt to find relief,” said Bradley Robinson, CEO of Predictive Technology Group. “Patients have embraced the opportunity to enroll in this research study and participate in the search for a better solution to chronic pain. The Predictive Biorepository’s genetic and analytic capabilities are expected to add to an already robust pipeline of genetic data that will assist in the ongoing discovery of diagnostic tests and therapeutic treatments for disease.”
“We are excited about achieving this initial milestone as we work to build a foundation for the advancement of medicine to solve real problems for real people,” said Rick W. Obray, M.D., Chairman of Predictive’s Clinical Advisory Board. “Establishing these genetic building blocks is truly how the promise of personalized medicine will move toward reality.”
Predictive Laboratories, Inc. is the sponsor of the study. Kenneth Ward, MD, Laboratory Director of Predictive Laboratories, serves as Principal Investigator.

Taueret Laboratories will join Predictive Technology Group’s newest subsidiary Predictive Laboratories.
“With the completion of this acquisition and addition of a highly experienced staff, we have formed an unparalleled molecular clinical and research facility to support our objectives of commercializing novel diagnostics based on predictive analytics and extensive genetic information,” said Bradley C. Robinson, CEO of Predictive Technology Group. “Our teams at Predictive and Taueret have been collaborating for more than a decade and our use of the Taueret laboratory was instrumental in developing the ARTguide™ test, our proprietary test for endometriosis. We are excited to welcome Taueret’s executive and clinical laboratory teams, who are joining Predictive Laboratories in similar roles and bringing us more than 125 years of combined experience in validating, launching and running DNA diagnostic tests.
“We plan the immediate use of our laboratory to develop a suite of new clinical tests for the reproductive health market,” Robinson added. “We expect this newly acquired laboratory to accelerate the commercialization of our current tests and provide additional capacity as our tests gain momentum.”
In conjunction with the acquisition, Predictive invested $4.2 million in new laboratory instrumentation and resources to bolster capabilities in the 15,000-square-foot laboratory and administrative campus, which now contains all necessary infrastructure for the Company’s clinical operations.
