Platform and pipeline advancements

In April 2025, Exact Sciences launched the Oncodetect test, its molecular residual disease and recurrence monitoring test. Oncodetect identifies residual disease up to two years earlier than imaging, the current standard of care. The Company recently received Medicare coverage through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Molecular Diagnostic Services Program (MolDX) for serial use in patients with stage II, III and resectable stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) in the adjuvant and recurrence monitoring settings over a five-year period.

In September 2025, Exact Sciences plans to launch its Cancerguard multi-cancer screening test as a laboratory-developed test. The Company plans to bring the test to patients through its large commercial organization and unique ExactNexus technology platform.

In August 2025, Exact Sciences acquired exclusive rights to the current and future versions of Freenome’s blood-based colorectal cancer screening tests as well as the underlying technology for colorectal cancer, subject to customary regulatory approvals. Additionally, the Company announced initial study results from the pivotal BLUE-C study for an internal version of its blood-based colorectal cancer screening test.
