Renalytix Selects EVERSANA to Expand Commercialization of KidneyIntelX for Early-Stage Kidney Disease Prognosis Detection in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Model expected to accelerate deployment of KidneyIntelX across key U.S. regions with high rates of diabetic kidney disease and established insurance coverage

LONDON and CHICAGO (May 25, 2023) - Renalytix (NASDAQ: RNLX) (LSE: RENX), the first company to develop and commercialize an artificial intelligence (AI) powered in-vitro diagnostic for kidney disease, has selected EVERSANA, a global leader in life-science commercialization services, to expand the company’s commercial footprint for KidneyIntelX, a prognostic device for patients with diabetic kidney disease. Using highly reliable, bioprognostic™ methodology, KidneyIntelX yields a simple-to-understand, custom risk score, helping clinicians better predict which adult patients with type 2 diabetes may be at various stages of chronic kidney disease.

“We believe that patients deserve the best options every day in their healthcare journey,” said Jim Lang, CEO at EVERSANA. “What Renalytix has created has the potential to impact millions of lives through early-stage preventative care, which will not only make a huge impact on the global healthcare system but most importantly, improve the lives of patients. We could not be more excited to provide our services to support a successful commercialization.”

EVERSANA will launch its field deployment and training solutions with Renalytix to primary care providers across key parts of the United States later this summer.  These EVERSANA-supported deployments complement Renalytix existing sales efforts in major markets including New York and Illinois where comprehensive insurance coverage is now available for individuals living with diabetes and kidney disease. 

“The majority of people with type 2 diabetes over the age of 65 have chronic kidney disease,” said James McCullough, CEO of Renalytix. “EVERSANA will help us bring the benefits of KidneyIntelX early prognosis quickly to large populations at greatest risk to help prevent the unnecessary suffering and unsustainable cost of kidney failure and dialysis.”

Two large clinical utility studies published in the Journal of Primary Care and Community Health, and American Journal of Managed Care, have shown KidneyIntelX assists clinicians to better understand patients at low, intermediate, or high risk for kidney disease progression and kidney failure resulting in improved use of guideline-based medications and timely specialist referrals for patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.  Further, recently published emerging data indicates the use of KidneyIntelX by primary care providers results in an improvement in kidney and diabetes clinical metrics such as HbA1C and UACR (albumin to creatinine ratio).  Additional real-world KidneyIntelX utility data is expected to be released at the American Diabetes Association annual clinical meeting this June.
