  • The company has successfully initiated early commercialization efforts and is poised for unprecedented growth over the next 12 to 18 months, driven by multiple milestones.
  • OncoCyte Corp's technology has demonstrated the ability to detect transplant rejection earlier than standard methods, which could improve patient outcomes significantly.
  • The company has secured a $15.8 million private placement in April, strengthening its financial position and endorsing its strategic partnership.
  • OncoCyte Corp is actively engaging with the research community, aiming to become the research tool of choice for transplant monitoring, which could lead to increased adoption and revenue.

  • The company experienced a net loss from continuing operations of $9.1 million in Q1 2024, a significant decrease from a net income of $6 million in Q1 2023.
  • Sales and marketing expenses have increased by 22%, indicating higher costs associated with ramping up commercialization efforts.
  • There is uncertainty regarding the new FDA rule for the regulation of lab-developed tests, which could impact the company's operations and product launches.
