GRAIL to Host Capital Markets Day

GRAIL Leadership to Outline Early Cancer Detection Market Opportunity, Business Strategy, and Financial Profile

GRAIL, LLC., a healthcare company whose mission is to detect cancer early when it can be cured, today will host a virtual Capital Markets Day. Members from GRAIL’s management team will outline growth drivers for Galleri®, a clinically validated, commercially available multi-cancer early detection test, as well as the Company’s scientific expertise, addressable market opportunity, business strategy, and financial profile. GRAIL’s presenters will include Bob Ragusa, Chief Executive Officer, Aaron Freidin, Chief Financial Officer, Joshua Ofman MD, MSHS, President, and Sir Harpal Kumar, President of Biopharma & Europe.

Illumina has communicated its goal to finalize divestment terms for GRAIL by the end of the second quarter of 2024. If the contemplated spin-off transaction is executed, GRAIL would become a publicly traded company and its common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange and traded under the ticker “GRAL.”

“We believe multi-cancer early detection is one of the most significant opportunities in healthcare, helping to address one of society’s biggest health issues. At GRAIL, we are advancing our mission to detect cancer early, when it can be cured, on behalf of patients every day,” said Bob Ragusa, CEO at GRAIL. “We have built strong groups across GRAIL - including our executive leadership team, scientific talent, and commercial organization - poised to establish a new standard of care for population cancer screening with Galleri. We look forward to building on our progress to shift the paradigm in early cancer detection and drive value for our stakeholders.”

The presentation will highlight GRAIL’s track record of strengths:

  • Galleri is setting the standard for multi-cancer early detection (MCED): Galleri is a leading clinically validated, commercially available MCED test and enables screening for some of the most deadly types of cancer, such as pancreatic, esophageal, ovarian, liver and others.
  • Our established commercial leadership is driving the development of a significant market: As of March 31, 2024, we have sold more than 180,000 commercial tests and established over 100 commercial partnerships.
  • Our clinical program includes population scale clinical studies and real-world experience, with more than 385,000 participants across eight clinical studies.
  • Our highly-differentiated methylation platform enables product opportunities across the cancer care continuum, including in precision oncology and symptomatic detection.
  • Our highly experienced and multidisciplinary team has enabled us to make significant progress towards improving cancer care.

GRAIL leadership will outline the Company’s core strategy and catalysts for long-term growth, including:

  • Establishing the Galleri test as the population MCED standard and establishing commercial leadership in large global markets
  • Expanding access to our products by pursuing FDA approval and reimbursement and coverage from payors
  • Defining, leading and expanding MCED adoption
  • Driving cutting edge science and technology to continuously improve existing products and develop new products
  • Leveraging our existing infrastructure to enable and scale our growing business

Presentation and Webcast Information

The live webcast will begin at 10:00 a.m. ET and can be accessed on GRAIL’s website at https://grail-capital-markets-day-2024.open-exchange.net/. The presentation and a replay of the webcast will also be available on GRAIL’s website.

About Galleri®

The Galleri multi-cancer early detection test is a new proactive tool to screen for cancer. It is a blood test that can help screen for many of the most deadly types of cancer that don’t have recommended screening today, such as pancreatic, esophageal, ovarian, and liver.* The Galleri test can identify DNA shed by cancer cells (unique “fingerprints”) to screen for some of the deadliest cancers before they become symptomatic, when cancer may be more easily treated and potentially curable. The Galleri test provides direction to doctors on the cancer's origin and helps guide next steps for diagnosis. The Galleri test requires a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider and should be used in addition to recommended cancer screenings such as mammography, colonoscopy, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, or cervical cancer screening. The Galleri test is recommended for adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those aged 50 or older.

*Editor’s note: Sensitivity in study participants with –

Pancreas cancer: 83.7% overall (61.9% stage I, 60.0% stage II, 85.7% stage III, 95.9% stage IV). Esophagus cancer 85.0% overall (12.5% stage I, 64.7% stage II, 94.7% stage III, 100% stage IV). Ovary cancer: 83.1% overall (50.0% stage I, 80.0% stage II, 87.1% stage III, 94.7% stage IV). Liver/bile duct cancer: 93.5% overall (100% stage I, 70.0% stage II, 100% stage III, 100% stage IV).

Important Galleri Safety Information

The Galleri test is recommended for use in adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those aged 50 or older. The Galleri test does not detect all cancers and should be used in addition to routine cancer screening tests recommended by a healthcare provider. Galleri is intended to detect cancer signals and predict where in the body the cancer signal is located. Use of Galleri is not recommended in individuals who are pregnant, 21 years old or younger, or undergoing active cancer treatment.

Results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of medical history, clinical signs and symptoms. A test result of “Cancer Signal Not Detected” does not rule out cancer. A test result of “Cancer Signal Detected” requires confirmatory diagnostic evaluation by medically established procedures (e.g., imaging) to confirm cancer.

If cancer is not confirmed with further testing, it could mean that cancer is not present or testing was insufficient to detect cancer, including due to the cancer being located in a different part of the body. False-positive (a cancer signal detected when cancer is not present) and false-negative (a cancer signal not detected when cancer is present) test results do occur. Rx only.

Laboratory/Test Information

GRAIL’s clinical laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) and accredited by the College of American Pathologists. The Galleri test was developed, and its performance characteristics were determined by GRAIL. The Galleri test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. GRAIL’s clinical laboratory is regulated under CLIA to perform high-complexity testing. The Galleri test is intended for clinical purposes.
