Genetron Holdings Limited and Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. announced an exclusive strategic partnership agreement for HCCscreen™, Genetron Health’s blood-based early screening test for hepatocellular carcinoma (“HCC”) in China. This partnership targets the hospital market in China, with a focus on combatting liver disease, and marks Genetron Health’s third key commercialization initiative of HCCscreen™ in the country, complementing its existing sales and marketing strategies through public health programs and medical examination centers. Under the agreement, the companies will work together exclusively to co-market and co-promote HCCscreen™ in the hospital market, covering designated territories in China. The parties intend to target high-risk individuals for HCC, which include HBV-positive carriers, as well as other liver disease patients. CTTQ brings an experienced sales force and valuable hospital relationships to the partnership, while Genetron Health provides manufacturing and laboratory operations for its innovative product, HCCscreen™, along with its direct-to-consumer marketing expertise. Genetron Health will pay CTTQ a promotional fee based on a percentage of revenues generated from the collaboration. Contingent on certain sales and other requirements, the exclusivity period is expected to last three years. As a result of the agreement, Genetron Health expects HCCscreen™ revenues to further accelerate in China.
