Invitation to telephone conference in response to Dagens Industri's article published on December 1

LUND, Sweden, Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunovia invites investors, analysts and the media to a telephone conference with CEO Patrik Dahlen tomorrow, Thursday, December 3, at CET 10:00 to address an article published on di.se on December 1: Experts skeptical to Immunovia's bloodtest: "Would not count on it" (Experter skeptiska till Immunovias blodtest: "Skulle inte satsa på detta").

The purpose of the telephone conference is to clarify how the company's blood test for early detection of pancreatic cancer shall be used and the timeline for start of sales at the end of Q1 2021.

Immunovia's blood test, IMMray™ PanCan-d, is intended for patient groups who have an elevated risk for pancreatic cancer. There are two ways to use the test. First, it can be used to rule out pancreatic cancer in patient groups showing early or vague symptoms of the disease. The test has a high NPV (negative predictive value) at 99,3%, a necessary value for a rule out test.

The second way that this test can be used is to detect the disease, a so called "rule-in", in people belonging to different risk groups, such as those with a family history of the disease or those over 50 years old with a recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
