$CYDY (AI) Part 1 of 3
(AI): How much it would cost Cytodyn to avail itself of data discovered by Natera?
Based on comparable Natera biopharma collaborations, CytoDyn is likely receiving several services:
⢠Signatera ctDNA testing on CLOVER trial samples
⢠Customized analyses of Nat-eraās proprietary oncology database
⢠Statistical and biomarker support
⢠Potential translational research consultation
Typical costs could be roughly:
Component Estimated Value
Signatera testing
$1,000-
$3,500 per sample
Trial-wide ctDNA analysis
$100,000-
$500,000+
Real-world data analysis
$250,000-
$1 million+
Full biomarker collaboration package
$500,000-
$2 million+
For a small biotech such as CytoDyn, there are three common possibilities:
1. CytoDyn pays Natera directly.
2. Natera provides discounted services in exchange for future business and publication opportunities.
3. The collaboration is largely in-kind, with little cash changing hands initially.
