Transform UK trial where is it??
Really couldn't care about Transform trial...don't get why so hung up on it...the main focus is US...they've always been clear about that...meanwhile London Clinic and Goodboody distribution deals are undoubtedly good news for UK strategy for those who care about what is a relatively small market in the grand scheme of things..
I could not agree more in others highlighting the (illogical in my opinion) infatuation of some around OBD’s involvement or otherwise in Transform.
Transform = something far out in the future
The announced hospital deals = opportunity today
OBD is a £24m market cap company. We need revenue today. If that has to be at the expense of jam tomorrow, that is unfortunate but a strategic decision I can support.
Couldn't give a monkeys about the transform trials, I never have.
Small potatoes 🥔
Jeez, some of posts on here are just silly.
The TRANSFORM trial, involving hundreds of thousands of men, will compare the most promising tests and provide definitive evidence about the best way to screen for prostate cancer.
Try reading up on The Transform Trial and it's objectives:
TRANSFORM update, May 2024
Prostate Cancer UK is launching a £42 million research programme – the TRANSFORM trial – to find the best way to screen men for prostate cancer, so one day all men at risk are invited for regular tests to find aggressive cancers in time for a cure.
It will be the biggest trial in prostate cancer screening for 20 years and has been developed in consultation, and with the backing of, the NHS, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and the UK Government, who have committed to contribute £16 million. The study is also being supported by founding partners Movember and the Freddie Green and Family Charitable Foundation, in addition to other significant donations from philanthropic organisations.

@Newuncle I don’t think anyone disagrees with you. The problem is that jam tomorrow simply will not work for OBD. They desperately need revenue today and that is where their efforts are and should be.
Morning -Not posted for some time - I couldn't take reading Dug's rambing's of a mug punter :) The guy doesnt know his own mind.
I think we are starting to see some traction and whilst I was very dissapointed with the numbers in Q2, and the squirmy presentation. That has to be put into context against the timeline and type of products we are dealing with. OBD have been very quiet on the publicity front, I think Jon took a big Slap off Major Shareholders an they are hopefully getting on with what they need to do.. The evidence case progress ofr CIRT is important and hopefully soom we will get some more deal following through. However confidence has been knocked and dont see the SP doing much positive or negative until some meat is put on the bones - I didnt expect much from BUPA last year and TBF neither did OBD, they stated that back in March 23, So now its a case of seeing how this pans out. If you take the immotion out of it sub 8p is a good entry point if you believe in the story.
With regards to Transform - I really dont care, Its a typical lethargic trial that will be outpaced by developements and IMO is the last thing we need to be throwing money at.. Jurys out for now. Good Luck All
Thewombat,
fwiw I see today's RNS as much needed GOOD NEWS for OBD. Getting on board for testing is a decent achievement. But, nobody the terms of the deal (ie price per test or the volumes or how it will be rolled out). It should at least give hope that the tests are being adopted in the UK private sector. If the numbers were good then OBD would see revenues very early and have to issue a trading update on the back of them, time will tell as they say.
Dissing the UK Transform Trial is like the way Betamax dissed VHS Video Recorders back in the day.........
Feck Me have seen the price they charge for one PSE Test
EpiSwitch PSE Advanced Blood Test £905.00
And then there is this too:
Important Information
To book this test, you must have completed a PSA test within the last 6 months. If you have not done so, you can click here to book a Goodbody PSA test or you can add the PSA test through the checkout process.
This test is not available if you have received treatment for Prostate cancer within the last 4 weeks.
@Newuncle combined with a PSA test is exactly how the PSE test works. So not news. Plus, from your earlier post - simply because one believes the best strategy is to pursue revenue today does not equate to “dissing” Transform. It is simply a difference of opinion.
Not what I actually said though is it.
Dissing the UK Transform Trial is like Betamax dissed VHS is what I said. The rest is history
And the whole world and his wife knows that the PSE test was always designed to be run in parallel with a PSA test....yet again you completely misread my comment to suit your agenda.
