Regulatory News:

Ikonisys SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALIKO), a company specializing in the early and accurate detection of cancers through a unique fully automated solution for medical analysis laboratories, is pleased to announce that Hospitex has renewed its contract as the European Authorized Representative and Importer for Novodiax. Novodiax, a U.S.-based company specialized in immunohistochemistry, is the exclusive provider of CE IVD-IHC (in vitro diagnostics and immunohistochemistry) medical devices for real-time oncological diagnostics on tissue samples. With its innovative platform, Novodiax ensures the safety of organ transplant procedures by screening for potential malignancies in real time.

Under this partnership, Ikonisys Group will oversee importation, warehousing, regulatory compliance, and technical support for Novodiax’s groundbreaking technology, ensuring swift access for healthcare providers across Europe. This technology delivers rapid oncological insights into donor tissues, allowing transplant teams to make informed decisions regarding organ suitability, thereby reducing the risks of post-transplant malignancy.

Moreover, Ikonisys has strengthened its position in Europe by securing exclusive distribution rights for the Italian market through its Italian subsidiary, Ikonisys Srl. This strategic move consolidates the Group's role as a European representative and importer and enhances its ability to provide localized support, streamline operations, and accelerate market access in Italy. With direct distribution in a key European market, Ikonisys is set to increase brand visibility, foster closer relationships with customers, and drive growth across the region.

Current Landscape of the Organ Transplantation in Europe

Organ transplantation is a vital component of healthcare in Europe, with approximately 34,000 transplants performed annually. Demand continues to rise, as over 150,000 patients are currently on transplant waiting lists across the continent. In 2023, Europe recorded more than 7,000 kidney transplants, 4,000 liver transplants, and 2,500 heart transplants. This substantial increase highlights the urgent need for safe and reliable diagnostics in these procedures. Rapid diagnostic tools, such as Novodiax’s technology, can significantly impact decision-making, especially since up to 5% of organ recipients face the risk of post-transplant malignancies.

Novodiax’s innovative IHC technology facilitates faster and more accurate diagnostics, improving the quality and safety of transplantation procedures by ensuring each organ’s compliance with rigorous oncological safety standards before transplantation.

Strategic Alignment with Ikonisys Group’s Global Vision

This partnership fully aligns with Ikonisys Group’s strategy to establish itself as a global leader in next-generation cancer diagnostics. The agreement with Novodiax is a pivotal step toward achieving Ikonisys Group’s vision of becoming a world-class provider in the evolving field of oncology diagnostics.
