EndoPredict Test Outperformed Leading First-Generation Test

Mark C. Capone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Myriad Genetics, mentioned that the Company has nearly full coverage for EndoPredict testing in the United States which was accomplished in an unprecedented time of less than six months after its launch. Mark believes that this rapid expansion of coverage reflects the strong scientific evidence and compelling head-to-head data where the EndoPredict test markedly outperformed the leading first-generation test, and the value of avoiding frustrating and costly intermediate results.

EndoPredict's Positive Coverage Strengthens the Use of Second Generation Test for Predicting Recurrence

Commenting on the positive coverage decisions for EndoPredict® testing, Johnathan Lancaster M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Myriad Genetics, stated that increased physician interest in EndoPredict testing and broad reimbursement has been observed, thereby strengthening the Company's conviction to use a second generation test with clear superiority in predicting recurrence in the critical five- to ten-year timeframe.
