Cepheid Launches CE Mark Certification Smart VZV(TM) in Vitro Diagnostic Test for SmartCycler(R) Platform
Thursday June 1, 7:00 am ET
Real-Time PCR Test for Varicella Zoster-Virus Detection Provides Improved Diagnosis and Patient Treatment


SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - News), a broad-based molecular diagnostics company, today announced the European release of the Smart VZV(TM) Assay for clinical diagnostic use on the SmartCycler® System. The VZV assay was released as a CE IVD Mark product under the European Directive on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices. Smart VZV is intended for rapid detection of the varicella-zoster virus, a member of the herpes virus subfamily, the cause of potentially life-threatening complications of the lungs, liver and central nervous system in immunocompromised children. The virus can also cause serious eye, kidney and brain infections also known as retinitis, acute renal necrosis and chronic progressive encephalitis respectively in HIV patients. In addition, VZV the cause of herpes zoster (shingles), may be confused with herpes simplex virus and appropriate laboratory tests are often required for support of the correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

"Multiple data indicate that PCR analysis is more efficient than antigen or antibody testing or viral culture. Now swab specimens obtained from skin and mucosa in addition to cerebrospinal fluid of patients with aseptic meningitis and encephalitis can be used for rapid and sensitive detection of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) via real time PCR," said Professor Jacques Izopet, Head of the Clinical Virology Laboratory, University Hospital of Toulouse. "The results are highly relevant for optimization of specific antiviral therapy for these patients."

"The Smart VZV test is the fourth in a planned menu of CE IVD Mark products scheduled to be released in Europe for use on our SmartCycler and GeneXpert® platforms during 2006 and is the second product in our expanding portfolio for use in the management of immunocompromised patients," said Cepheid Chief Executive Officer John Bishop.

Real-time PCR is a reliable tool for detection of VZV in patients who have developed or are at risk for developing active VZV infection. PCR is especially important in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples where standard viral culture procedures are relatively insensitive. The Smart VZV Assay offers a standardized qualitative method that can be used for the detection of VZV DNA in vesicle swabs and CSF samples. The assay offers a highly sensitive limit of detection. The use of an internal control greatly minimizes the risk of false negative results.

Cepheid's Smart VZV delivers a positive or negative result in under an hour after DNA extraction, a dramatic improvement over the days required to derive a result with traditional culture-based tests.

The SmartCycler® System is a leading real-time PCR testing platform for hospitals, university labs and government agencies. By automating the amplification and detection process, the SmartCycler® System can deliver highly accurate and consistent test results from prepared biological samples in 30-40 minutes. With up to 96 independently programmable reaction sites, the SmartCycler can simultaneously run multiple experiments with different protocols and at different times. This eliminates complex advanced scheduling on larger, more costly systems as well as the need to transport samples to central facilities for analysis.

FIND and Cepheid to Develop Rapid TB Test for Developing Nations
Tuesday May 23, 7:00 am ET
GeneXpert(R) System Uniquely Suited to Bring Sophisticated Molecular Diagnostics to the Third World; Improved Detection Essential in Fighting This Lethal Infectious Disease


SUNNYVALE, Calif. and GENEVA, May 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - News), a broad-based molecular diagnostics company, today announced a collaboration with the Foundation for Innovative Diagnostics (FIND), a Geneva-based non-profit organization, to develop a new, rapid molecular diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB). Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, FIND is dedicated to identifying and applying the latest biotechnology innovations to develop affordable diagnostic tests for diseases affecting underprivileged populations in developing countries. Dr. David Alland, an expert in the field of tuberculosis, and his research group at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey will also be collaborating with Cepheid in developing the test to rapidly detect TB mycobacteria in sputum and simultaneously determine whether the organisms are drug resistant. The test will be designed to run on Cepheid's GeneXpert® System.

There is an urgent need for more accurate and cost-effective diagnostic technologies for diseases of the developing world -- particularly TB. A chronic bacterial infection, TB caused an estimated 1.7 million deaths in 2004 according to World Health Organization (WHO) data. The spread of TB has been exacerbated by the large number of global travelers, worldwide rise of multidrug-resistant TB strains, and the global spread of HIV which markedly increases susceptibility to tuberculosis. Immunodeficient HIV-positive patients are particularly vulnerable to TB, which is reported to account for the deaths of 13 percent of patients in this group worldwide.

"Without easy to use diagnostics, too many TB cases go undetected and the disease continues to kill nearly 2 million people a year," said Dr. Giorgio Roscigno, CEO of FIND. "This collaboration will enable us to harness sophisticated molecular technology to develop an affordable and user-friendly test that can detect TB and its drug-resistant forms."

Developed a century ago, today's standard culture method for TB detection takes several weeks to generate results and is frequently inaccurate. Lack of effective diagnostics contributes to the worldwide TB problem, as untreated TB patients remain a source of infection for other members of the community. Current molecular diagnostic detection methods for TB are faster and more accurate than culture, but they are not practical to implement in developing countries which lack the specialized laboratories and highly trained technicians required to run the tests. In addition, these methods do not offer on-demand testing, an important feature for TB control.

"Cepheid is honored to share its technical expertise in molecular diagnostics and its unique testing platform with FIND to develop a solution for this global health problem," said Cepheid CEO, John Bishop. "Through the ability of the GeneXpert System to uniquely automate the otherwise complicated real-time PCR processes, sophisticated, on-demand molecular diagnostics can be brought to nations where highly trained staff and dedicated facilities are in short supply."

Mark Perkins, Chief Scientific Officer of FIND, said, "today's standard methods for detecting multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB), which cannot be cured with conventional treatment, require several months to yield results. During this time, patients get sicker or die and pass the infection along to others in the community. This technology can simplify molecular detection of MDR-TB and make early diagnosis possible."

Representing a paradigm shift in the automation of molecular diagnostics, the GeneXpert System is the only closed, self-contained, fully-integrated and automated system for molecular testing commercially available today. The system will allow healthcare providers to obtain timely, accurate results from virtually any type of raw biological sample, with minimal risk of contamination. The easy to use system is designed to operate in a wide range of environments, including hospitals, public health clinics, physician offices, and industrial settings as applicable.

About FIND

The Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) is a non-profit foundation dedicated to the development and introduction of simple, accurate, reliable and accessible diagnostic tools for poverty related infectious diseases in the developing world. Since its launch at the World Health Assembly in 2003, FIND's initial focus has been on identifying new tools for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. FIND is also collaborating with the World Health Organization for development and evaluation of new diagnostic tests for human African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, and is planning to introduce into its project profile a program to improve malaria diagnostics. FIND is located in Geneva, Switzerland. For more information, please visit www.finddiagnostics.org.

Cepheid Introduces GeneXpert(R) 16-Site System
Monday May 22, 7:00 am ET
Modular High-Throughput GeneXpert System is the First Fully-Integrated, Closed, On-demand Molecular Methods System


ORLANDO, ASM ANNUAL MEETING (BOOTH #701), May 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - News), a broad-based molecular diagnostics company, today introduced the GeneXpert® 16-Site System at the 106th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. The latest addition to Cepheid's GeneXpert® family of real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) devices provides a high-throughput, fully-automated solution to deliver results quickly and efficiently to hospitals and laboratories.
ADVERTISEMENT


While current molecular methods deliver highly sensitive, specific and rapid results compared to culture-based approaches, molecular biology labs generally run tests when a sufficient number of samples is reached to justify processing a batch. As a result, even though time of analysis is minutes or hours, effective turnaround time is often a day or more depending on the test. Batch processing is no longer the only option, as Cepheid's GeneXpert 16-Site System has the flexibility to run up to 16 different molecular tests simultaneously, with minimal hands-on time, thereby delivering the power of true on-demand testing. The GeneXpert System is expected to provide the molecular laboratory with the ability to start test runs anytime samples are collected-24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

"Cepheid's GeneXpert technology represents a true paradigm shift in the practical implementation of real-time PCR," said Cepheid CEO John Bishop. "No longer limited by batch processing protocols and laborious manual procedures, laboratorians can now have access to critical answers when they need them. In addition, laboratories will have a unique ability to run the exact same tests on a high through-put main lab system or on a desktop system in a satellite lab."

Cepheid's GeneXpert Systems are the first to combine sample preparation with real time PCR amplification and detection functions for fully integrated and automated nucleic acid analysis. The system purifies, concentrates, detects and identifies targeted nucleic acid sequences, delivering results in as little as one to two hours from unprocessed specimens.

The GeneXpert® 16-Site System is configurable from 4 to16 modules, allowing users to expand their system as demand for assays increase. The system boasts full random access capabilities performing multiple molecular tests simultaneously. The automated software eliminates the need for interpretation by users, which enables the laboratory to be more efficient with more tests.

Availability

Shipments of the GeneXpert 16-Site System are expected to begin in the 4th quarter of 2006. The system will support the current menu of tests available on the GeneXpert 4-Site System and all GeneXpert tests in the product pipeline.

Cepheid GeneXpert(R) System Receives Department of Homeland Security Certification
Wednesday March 22, 7:00 am ET
SAFETY Act Designation Makes GeneXpert Biothreat Solutions More Accessible to Organizations Across the United States


SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - News), a broad-based molecular diagnostics company, announced today that it has received both certification and designation of the GeneXpert® technology as Qualified Anti-terrorism Technology (QATT). GeneXpert is now listed among products approved by the Department of Homeland Security and is granted coverage under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act known as the SAFETY Act.
ADVERTISEMENT


The SAFETY Act encourages the development and deployment of anti-terrorism technologies that will substantially enhance the protection of the nation. The Act reflects the intent of Congress to ensure the threat of liability does not deter potential sellers from developing and commercializing technologies that could significantly reduce the risk or mitigate the effect of terrorist acts. It creates certain liability limitations when QATTs have been deployed but does not limit liability where an act of terrorism has not occurred.

"All Cepheid suppliers, vendors, and customers benefit from the protection of SAFETY Act Certification knowing that the GeneXpert System meets the government's most stringent standards for biothreat technology," said Cepheid Chief Executive Officer John Bishop. "The GeneXpert technology has been demonstrated to be an accurate and effective solution to meeting varying needs in the potential detection of biothreat agents."

Cepheid's GeneXpert is the world's only system to combine sample preparation with real time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplification and detection -- delivering fully-integrated and automated DNA analysis. The system purifies, concentrates, detects and identifies targeted nucleic acid sequences, delivering answers from unprocessed samples in minutes. Current techniques for performing the same complex sample prep and PCR procedures involve skilled technicians in microbiology labs performing manual tasks that can take more than a day to complete. No specialized facilities or highly skilled laboratory training is required to operate the GeneXpert System.

Cepheid Initiates CE IVD Products in Europe With Launch of GeneXpert(R) System and Xpert BCR-ABL Monitor(TM) Assay
Thursday February 23, 7:00 am ET

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - News), a broad-based molecular diagnostics company, today announced the European launch of the GeneXpert® System for in vitro diagnostic use (IVD) along with the Xpert BCR-ABL Monitor(TM) assay, the initial clinical diagnostic test for use on the GeneXpert® System. Both the GeneXpert System and the Xpert BCR-ABL Monitor assay were released as "Conformite Europeene" or "European Conformity" CE IVD Mark products under the European Directive on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices. The Xpert BCR-ABL Monitor can be used by hematologist-oncologists and labortorians as an aid in the monitoring of BCR-ABL, an abnormal genetic marker found in patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML).

ADVERTISEMENT
"The GeneXpert® System has been demonstrated to be robust, easy to use and capable of delivering sensitivity and specificity not previously seen in molecular testing," said John Bishop, Cepheid CEO. "In the European clinical molecular diagnostics market the ability of the clinician to obtain immediately actionable intelligence is critical to patient management. We believe the GeneXpert® System is in a unique position to deliver on this clinical need."

The GeneXpert System and the Xpert BCR-ABL Monitor assay is the world's first closed system, quantitative, nested real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) assay. This assay allows healthcare providers in Europe to obtain timely, near-patient, highly sensitive and accurate results from a blood sample, with minimal potential for RNA loss or sample contamination. The GeneXpert System combines sample preparation with real time nested PCR amplification and detection for fully-automated DNA and RNA analysis. The system purifies, concentrates, detects and identifies targeted nucleic acid sequences. The BCR-ABL assay provides in approximately 2 hours. Current techniques for performing the same complex sample prep, reverse transcription, and PCR procedures involve skilled technicians in centralized molecular labs performing batched manual tasks that can take two to three days to complete.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is part of a group of diseases called myeloproliferative disorders. There are approximately 20,000 CML patients living in remission in Europe today. Current Europe Against Cancer Program practice guidelines for management of patients with CML call for use of quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) assays during the initial workup of patients with chronic phase CML and in monitoring for minimal residual disease, and in identifying patients who may be at a high risk for relapse. Patients may have their blood tested as many as four times a year.

The GeneXpert® System is currently the only real-time PCR platform that integrates microfluidic sample preparation with the sensitivity of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based molecular detection resulting in the first easy-to-use system in this field. The GeneXpert® System was released in the Biothreat surveillance market in 2004 and has subsequently been proven to be an extremely robust and accurate platform technology with over 1,100 modules and systems in the market generating over 2.1 million anthrax test results.

Detroit & Honolulu Emergency First Response Teams Use GeneXpert System to Provide Accuracy & Specificity of Molecular Diagnostics for Biothreat Detection

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD - News), a broad-based molecular diagnostics company, today announced that the State Regional Hazmat Response Team (Oakland County, MI) and the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii's Bio-Weapon Illness Prevention Program and EMS Medical Strike Team selected the GeneXpert® System to provide mobile Anthrax detection.

ADVERTISEMENT
"As more than 100,000 visitors traveled to the Detroit metro area this month, the State Regional Hazmat Response Team needed a solution to investigate potential biothreat attacks delivering accurate results in minutes, not hours," said Gary Sharp of the Independence Fire Department. "The GeneXpert® System proved to be the ideal solution. Non-scientific personnel can operate the test and easily read the result, obtaining fast, accurate information to make informed decisions on scene."

The GeneXpert System combines sample preparation with real time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplification and detection for fully-automated DNA analysis. The system purifies, concentrates, detects and identifies targeted nucleic acid sequences, delivering answers from unprocessed samples in minutes. Current techniques for performing the same complex sample prep and PCR procedures involve skilled technicians in microbiology labs performing manual tasks that can take more than a day to complete.

"Whether it's protecting a major sporting event at Aloha Stadium or patrolling popular tourist sites, the Honolulu EMS Medical Strike Team is on call twenty four hours a day, seven days a week to protect citizens and visitors from potential biothreat attacks," said Cortney M. Chambers, Homeland Security Coordinator for Honolulu Emergency Medical Services. "GeneXpert is an important addition to our mobile laboratory -- it's an effective way to bring a sophisticated molecular diagnostics lab to the investigation scene."

In addition to its use with emergency first responder units, GeneXpert Anthrax tests are currently in use at the United States Postal Service where over 2.1 million tests have already been run. In addition to the GeneXpert Anthrax test, an expanded menu of tests for other biothreat agents is under development.

"The GeneXpert System has demonstrated itself to be a capable tool in the nation's fight against biological terrorism, but it is more than a biothreat detection system," said Cepheid CEO John Bishop. "The GeneXpert System is expected to deliver in the near future immediately actionable results to medical professionals as well. Last October, Cepheid launched the GeneXpert BCR-ABL RUO product. For research use only, the product identifies the BCR- ABL chromosomal translocation associated with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the clinical research laboratory. This product is expected to be complemented later this year by the introduction of several clinical diagnostic tests for medical conditions where a timely diagnosis is critical to patient care."

can anyone prepare a cogent 8 month forward valuation of this company?

I think the introduction of the smartcycler ii and the strep kit is likely to double sales going forward, so we will see about 25 million in sales next year. If the postal contract is signed forward this will also boost sales. but at 1.5 million a month burn, this will likely just get to break even with increasing sales. The red herring or gold herring is the continued introduction of tests by IBI and geneexpert introduction, and foreign sales which are only starting to get adequately marketed.

an increase of 1000 units a year would mean a very large jump in sales

what is a normal ratio of market cap to forward sales?

Cepheid Granted U.S. Patent Covering GeneXpert(R) Cartridge

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD) today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent 6,374,684 covering the fundamental fluidic control technology that enables cartridge-based automated preparation of biological samples in the company's GeneXpert(R) DNA detection system.

"This patent is essential to Cepheid's vision to move DNA testing out of the lab and into everyday, routine use," said Kurt Petersen, Ph.D., president and chief operating officer. "The novel cartridge provides the flexibility to perform a broad range of sample preparation functions on a variety of biological samples, such as blood, urine, emulsified tissue or food, and environmental samples. At the same time, the cartridge eliminates cross-contamination between samples, between chambers in the cartridge and between the cartridge and the instrument. Such cross-contamination has been a major impediment to commercialization of DNA-based assays."

Cepheid has achieved sample-processing capability in its GeneXpert cartridge through the use of a unique valve system with an integral syringe drive that maintains a dry interface between the cartridge and the GeneXpert instrument. The Cepheid cartridge design is the fundamental technology that allows an inexperienced user to operate the GeneXpert system for DNA detection and analysis.

Automated Sample Preparation

Before a biological sample can be analyzed for its DNA content, a variety of complex procedures must be performed. These include cell separation, washing, cell lysing and DNA or RNA purification. Current techniques for accomplishing this same series of procedures require extensive manual labor by skilled technicians and can take hours to several days. In the GeneXpert cartridge, fully automated sample preparation for a variety of samples can be accomplished in as little as five minutes.

With a prototype delivered to the U.S. Department of Defense at the end of last year and commercial availability slated for 2003, Cepheid's GeneXpert will deliver results from a sample in 30 minutes, enabling time-critical DNA tests at the point of need. Developed directly by Cepheid and through its partners, potential applications for the GeneXpert include clinical diagnostics, food testing, environmental testing and bio-threat detection.
