Leading Dry Eye Disease Diagnostic Healthcare Company’s Assays to be Performed in Over 40 Initial Clinics Across US
SAN DIEGO, CA – 
As part of the onboarding process for clinics, each of the 40 clinics either currently have their CLIA moderate complexity license or are in the application process. Once they have their CLIA license the Company will send its clinic partners a validation kit, along with a reader that is used to interpret results, and the clinics will run the required amount of validation test assays in anticipation of full-scale implementation. Once initial validation testing is done, the Company anticipates clinics on average will begin monthly reordering of approximately 200-300 tests. Each of the 40 clinics are committed to introducing the diagnostic platform and will receive a combination of IgE and Lactoferrin diagnostic assays. Additionally, AXIM’s commercialization partner Verseá Ophthalmics continues to meet with and educate clinics on the diagnostic assay platform, with the goal of garnering additional commitments.
While currently all clinics working with the assays must be CLIA-moderate complexity certified before they can run tests, the Company is currently in the process of preparing the appropriate research trial and paperwork for submission to the appropriate regulatory body seeking a CLIA-waiver, which once accomplished, will exponentially increase the market opportunity for introduction of the tests.
“We are so pleased to share this update with our investors and the medical community as a whole,” said John Huemoeller II, CEO of AXIM Biotechnologies. “Since launching our diagnostic platform, we have looked forward to the day where our solutions would officially begin to improve the lives of thousands of patients a week, and today we can share that dream is a reality. Verseá has been showcasing our platform at industry trade shows and to clinics across the country and the initial response has been tremendous. I could not be more excited about the opportunity before us and every day we continue to scale manufacturing to be able to meet the growing demand. Also – I would like to personally thank the Verseá team who has played an integral part in achieving this milestone – they continue to prove their professionalism and passion for our mutual success, which are great qualities to look for in a partner.”
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, approximately 344 million people worldwide suffer from DED while clinicians struggle to properly diagnose and treat the disease. AXIM’s solutions seek to address this unmet medical need through further introduction of its diagnostic platform. Each of its tests are designed to be administered at the point-of-care, render results in less than nine minutes, and offer a qualitative assessment of biomarkers and enzymes in the body whose variances provide indications on DED plausibility. Additionally, beyond initial diagnosis, consistent testing is required to evaluate the efficacy of treatment for DED, creating a recurring need for AXIM’s solutions at the point-of-care.

Forward-looking statements describe Axim’s future plans, projections, strategies and expectations, and are based on assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Axim Biotechnologies, Inc.
