Mainz Biomed (MYNZ) said Thursday it signed an exclusive license agreement with Liquid Biosciences to develop a blood-based test for detecting pancreatic cancer using mRNA biomarkers.
The company said the financial terms include a license fee and royalties on potential future revenue without disclosing specific details.
Under the agreement, Mainz Biomed will develop the test using Liquid Biosciences' biomarkers, with an option to acquire exclusive global rights, the company said.
The companies plan to refine the test and prepare for a potential submission to the US Food and Drug Administration, Mainz said.
