Full Summary

Rhythm Biosciences has focused on developing blood-based diagnostic tests for early cancer detection. During the Q2 FY26 period, the company commenced commercialisation activities for ColoSTAT® following the completion of required accreditation and validation processes, making it ready for Australian clinicians to help patients and generate revenue. Key achievements include the successful transition of the geneType™ laboratory to the ISO 15189:2022 standard, the initiation of ColoSTAT® commercialisation, and the announcement of a partnership with NHS England to evaluate the ColoSTAT® test. The company also made progress with its geneType™ platform, developing a network of strategic commercial partnerships to scale global sales, completing the development of an enhanced colorectal cancer risk assessment test, and publishing a peer-reviewed validation of the geneType™ ovarian cancer risk model in the prestigious Harvard Nurses' Health Study. Rhythm also strengthened its balance sheet, receiving a $1.571 million R&D tax incentive and fully repaying a $1 million loan. The company has transitioned from a development company to a commercial enterprise, with a clear focus on expanding commercial traction, leveraging strategic partnerships, and demonstrating the revenue potential of its platforms.
