About SciBase and Nevisense

SciBase AB is a Swedish medical technology company, headquartered in Stockholm that has developed a unique point-of-care device for the accurate detection of malignant melanoma. Its product, Nevisense, helps doctors to detect malignant melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. SciBase was founded by Stig Ollmar, Associate Professor at The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Nevisense is based on substantial research and has achieved excellent results in the largest clinical study ever conducted on the detection of malignant melanoma. Nevisense is CE marked in Europe, has TGA approval in Australia, and now also a FDA clearance in the United States. Nevisense is based on a method called Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), which uses the varying electrical properties of human tissue to categorize cellular structures and thereby detect malignancies. SciBase is listed on Nasdaq First North (“SCIB”). Avanza is the certified advisor. Further information is available on www.scibase.com.

A new clinical guideline supporting the use of Nevisense in the evaluation of lesions with suspicion of melanoma has been published in the German magazine “Der Deutsche Dermatologe”. The guideline is written by Prof Julia Welzel, Augsburg and Prof Uwe Reinhold, Bonn and has the backing and support of Onkoderm, a German dermatology society for skin cancer prevention and therapy.

The article is titled “EIS: Atypien von Hautveränderungen präzise messen” or in English “EIS: Precise measurement of atypia of skin lesions”. It outlines a recommended protocol for the use of Nevisense in the evaluation of lesions where there is suspicion of malignant melanoma and the recommended action based on the result of the Nevisense measurement. The article also includes a reimbursement recommendation from Onkoderm.

The article describing the guideline is now available in online form at the Der Deutsche Dermatologe website (https://www.springermedizin.de/der-deutsche-dermatologe-11-2018/16277500) and will be distributed in print to German Dermatologists and associated professionals.

“Guidelines are an essential step along the way to becoming standard of care, and we are very happy the pre-eminent German organization within skin cancer, OnkoDerm, has chosen to support this guideline and reimbursement approach. We believe that this, combined with our improved system Nevisense 3.0, will drive both our user base and existing customers’ usage in German speaking countries. ”, says Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase.

SciBase is listed on Nasdaq First North (“SCIB”). Avanza is the certified advisor. Further information is available on www.scibase.com. 

SciBase and Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research, Davos Switzerland (SIAF-SFI) announced today the signing of a formal collaboration agreement within the area of barrier function testing using Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). In addition the partners have jointly filed a patent application covering the use of electrical impedance testing for the evaluation of epithelial barrier function, potentially a unique tool to help address some of the most common disorders such as eczema, food allergy, allergic rhinitis and asthma.

The agreement formalises a research co-operation project that has been ongoing over a period of nearly three years. That co-operation recently resulted in the submission of an animal study research paper to a leading scientific journal which outlines the use and potential of EIS in skin barrier evaluation.

The research has applied SciBase’s Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) system Nevisense, to a new clinical area, barrier-related disorders. By utilizing EIS to test the skin’s ‘barrier function’, a clearer understanding of the status of the skin is available quickly and easily, even if no clinical signs are present. This improves the clinician’s ability to diagnose, manage and treat diseases like atopic dermatitis or eczema. Atopic dermatitis is extremely common, affecting up to 20% of children, and 2-10% of adults. This, if the clinical data shows positive results, could result in products that open up a large new market for SciBase addressing an unmet medical need. It could also open up opportunities to partner with therapy companies in this space. A research version to measure barrier is already available and we intend to work to release further product versions during 2019.

“Epithelial barrier defects are becoming more and more prominent in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases of the skin and mucosa and quantitative measurement of barrier integrity at the point of care is essential. I am very happy that we are going into a co-development agreement with SciBase for efficient barrier detection for prevention and treatment strategies of allergic skin diseases and further on other barrier- related diseases”, says Professor Cezmi Akdis, MD, Director SIAF.

“Our collaboration with Prof. Akdis and SIAF-SFI is the foundation of the work we do within this exciting new application for EIS. Scientific interest in barrier function as a central factor in atopic dermatitis continues to grow. There are also several disorders such as food allergy and asthma that are related to atopic dermatitis and the barrier. The ability to understand barrier function could therefore improve our ability to manage these and other very common disorders and this opens up a number of research and commercial opportunities”, says Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase.

About SciBase and Nevisense

SciBase AB is a Swedish medical technology company, headquartered in Stockholm that has developed a unique point-of-care device for the accurate detection of malignant melanoma. Its first product, Nevisense, helps doctors to detect malignant melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. SciBase was founded by Stig Ollmar, Associate Professor at The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Nevisense is based on substantial research and has achieved excellent results in the largest clinical study ever conducted on the detection of malignant melanoma. Nevisense is CE marked in Europe, has TGA approval in Australia and a FDA clearance in the United States. Nevisense is based on a method called Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), which uses the varying electrical properties of human tissue to categorize cellular structures and thereby detect malignancies and abnormalities. SciBase is listed on Nasdaq First North (“SCIB”). Further information is available at www.scibase.com. 

The previously announced breakthrough update to Nevisense, SciBase device for the early detection of melanoma, has now been released.

"To be accepted by an even broader customer group, we needed to improve the ease of use of Nevisense and make it easier to integrate into a clinic’s workflow. We have achieved this with Nevisense 3.0 and I am delighted to announce the release of the product. Not only does the upgrade dramatically simplify the testing process, it also delivers an improved level of clinical accuracy. We consider this the most important update in the history of the product, and believe this will allow us to address the needs of the mainstream market.” says SciBase CEO Simon Grant.

The key improvement is the elimination of the need for a reference measurement, which up until now has been the most complex part of the Nevisense test. Removing this streamlines the measurement procedure and makes Nevisense straightforward to learn and use. This is a very important improvement in usability and makes the product much easier to integrate into the patient flow at dermatology clinics.

At the same time the new algorithm has been shown to provide an improved level of clinical accuracy. Sensitivity has remained very high and increased slightly to 97%. Specificity has increased to 38% and negative predictive value (NPV) has improved to 99%.

The Nevisense 3.0 upgrade will be installed at a core group of 25 users in the EU (primarily Germany) in June, and will be available for general release after the summer. “We realise the impact that the launch of the new product may have on new customers who will prefer to wait for the general release to purchase Nevisense. We expect this to have a temporary negative effect on sales, balanced by an expected increase in incoming orders”, says Simon Grant.

SciBase was founded by Stig Ollmar, Associate Professor at The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Nevisense is based on substantial research and has achieved excellent results in the largest clinical study ever conducted on the detection of malignant melanoma. Nevisense is CE marked in Europe, has TGA approval in Australia, and now also a FDA clearance in the United States. Nevisense is based on a method called Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), which uses the varying electrical properties of human tissue to categorize cellular structures and thereby detect malignancies. SciBase is listed on Nasdaq First North (“SCIB”). Avanza is the certified advisor. Further information is available on www.scibase.com.

New data has been presented in a US publication showing that by including the Nevisense result in clinical decision-making, physicians significantly improved their accuracy in identifying malignant melanoma. The article, titled “Assessment of Clinician Accuracy for Diagnosing Melanoma Based on Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy Score Plus Morphology Versus Lesion Morphology Alone” by Dr Ryan M. Svoboda and others was published online in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD).

The study was performed as a Reader study in the US, with 164 US physicians reviewing and evaluating clinical images of lesions. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of Nevisense results on the clinician’s diagnostic accuracy and biopsy decisions. Overall 7,380 clinical decisions were made, first based on a lesion’s visual characteristics alone, and secondly based on visual characteristics combined with the Nevisense test result. The addition of Nevisense resulted in 402 fewer missed melanomas and a net decrease of 376 benign biopsies.

“This study shows that integrating the information into the biopsy decision that Nevisense examinations provide led to improved diagnostic accuracy both in terms of sensitivity and specificity, resulting in fewer biopsies of benign lesions and more biopsies of melanomas.” Says Dr Darrell Rigel, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at New York University Medical Center.

Dr Rigel also presented the main findings of the study at the Fall Clinical Congress, held in Las Vegas in October.

We are very happy with the study results. They show that Nevisense can have a meaningful impact on clinical decisions for US physicians, especially when it comes to helping them more accurately identify malignant melanomas”, says Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase.
