TeloView Analyses Telomeres to Accurately Predict and Characterize Multiple Myeloma
Toronto, ON – October 17, 2023 – Telo Genomics Corp. (OTCQB: TDSGF) (TSXV: TELO) (the “Company” or “Telo”) today announced the launch of its TeloViewSMM to clinicians in the United States.
Combining molecular biology and artificial intelligence, the diagnostic platform performs industry leading 6-factor quantitative analysis of 3D telomeres, the protective end caps of chromosomes. TeloView has the potential to characterize multiple cancers, identify their current level of genomic instability and therefore predict their progression.
The Company’s initial clinical launch will focus on testing for “Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM)” the precursor for Multiple Myeloma, a blood-based bone marrow cancer. Approximately 50% of patients with SMM will develop full Multiple Myeloma.
The test is available for physicians to order under the SMART (Smoldering Multiple myeloma Assessment of Risk for Transformation) protocol, an observational study intended for oncology/hematology physicians and their staff in the U.S., to gain experience ordering and utilizing the TeloViewSMM assay. SMART follows a positive industry trend toward introducing novel molecular testing tools in an observational construct to efficiently gather information and feedback from clinicians and their teams.
“The commercial launch of our flagship TeloView platform is a major milestone for our Company” stated Telo Genomics’ CEO Kris Weinberg. “I am extremely proud of our entire team who have put forth a tremendous effort over many years in the development of our platform. Our presentations at this year’s International Myeloma Society (“IMS”) annual meeting and the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting were received very positively and have generated many leads for our new assay. We are also very active in discussions with platform partners and in the development of new tests in additional applications.”
While the initial launch of TeloViewSMM will be conducted as a single-site CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) model, commercial-scale delivery of testing will be accomplished in partnership with large reference labs where FISH and microscopy resources are available and scalable. The company is also developing products and use cases for the biopharma and CRO segment and has an active business development pipeline focused on CDx opportunities and contract research.
About TeloViewSMM
The TeloViewSMM assay has been clinically validated in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic – data supporting this validation were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting in 2023. TeloViewSMM has the potential to be an important tool for physicians managing the care of patients diagnosed with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma. The proprietary assay (and associated platform technology) quantifies individual patients’ risk of transformation/progression by measuring the 3D structure and spatial organization of telomeres. This molecular signature identifies high-risk SMM patients who are likely to benefit from earlier treatment intervention. The larger subset of low-risk patients may not require immediate treatment and can be regularly monitored using the TeloViewSMM assay along with standard phenotypic measures. Over 200,000 patients in the United States are currently living with smoldering Multiple Myeloma.
About Telo Genomics
Telo Genomics is a clinical-stage high complexity laboratory pioneering the most comprehensive telomere platform in the industry. The company has developed powerful predictive and prognostic assay tools in oncology and neurological disease. These applications are facilitated on a liquid biopsy platform that performs quantitative analysis of 3D telomeres with molecular biology and artificial intelligence to recognize disease-associated genetic instability. The benefits of the TeloView platform have been substantiated in over 160 peer reviewed publications and 30-plus clinical studies involving more than 3,000 patients.

Toronto, ON – October 12, 2023 – Telo Genomics Corp. (TSXV: TELO) (OTCQB: TDSGF) (the “Company” or “TELO”) is pleased to announce that it has participated in the International Myeloma Society (“IMS”) annual meeting that took place in Athens, Greece during the last week of September 2023. Telo presented positive results in assessing minimal residual disease (“MRD”) in multiple myeloma (“MM”). The data presented demonstrated repeatable sensitivity three-fold higher than what is currently being used in clinical practice. The presented results will be published in the journal of Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia.
Telo’s MRD test pioneers an innovative, proprietary and minimally invasive technology with the potential to facilitate MRD assessment in most MM patients. The test is designed to monitor MM patients’ performance post-treatment to predict patients’ relapse or to guide an informed decision to terminate maintenance therapy for patients who remain in remission, a critical unmet need in the clinic.
The data presented at the IMS meeting represents the initial phase of an ongoing prospective clinical trial to monitor disease progression in post-treatment patients, by measuring and profiling MRD in these patients using Telo’s proprietary technology. The clinical trial is being conducted in collaboration with McGill University and the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada. The trial is listed on the website of the National Library of Medicine (clinicaltrials.gov): NCT05530096 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05530096).
“We were excited to present Telo’s MRD interim results at the recent IMS annual meeting,” said Sherif Louis, TELO’s President & CTO. “The IMS annual meeting is the highest caliber myeloma meeting globally, and we were impressed with the level of engagement related to MRD at our booth. Our results were very well received by the world’s top myeloma treating physicians and key opinion leaders.”
About MRD
Monitoring MRD in oncology is emerging as an important prognostic tool for assessing the depth of a patient’s response to treatment; it can also help in identifying patients at higher risk of relapse and potentially guide response-based treatment paradigms in several hematological disorders including MM. In North America there are approximately 180,000 MM patients receiving treatment at any time across the different stages of the disease. Most of these patients may benefit from ongoing monitoring of treatment response using MRD assessment. To date, the prognostic power of MRD assessment is not fully realized in the clinic for MM patients, this is due to the limited capability of current technologies, which can only inform on MRD cell count (enumeration). Enumeration alone was proven over the years to be inadequate in providing accurate representation of the risk of disease progression. Furthermore, each of the current MRD assessment technologies has its own technical limitation rendering it inapplicable to several MM patient populations.
