BPM Signs Licensing MOU with South Korea’s Boditech Med to Integrate DNlite-IVD103 into POCT Platforms

Bio Preventive Medicine Corp. ("BPM") announced on May 9, 2024, that it has signed a licensing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with South Korea's Boditech Med Inc. (Boditech). The agreement licenses DNlite-IVD103 to the Korean partner for integration into Point of Care Testing (POCT) products, targeting the massive disease management and remote care opportunities presented by the global population of over 500 million diabetic patients.


Under the MOU, Boditech will obtain a global, non-exclusive license for BPM's DNlite-IVD103 across two POCT platforms. The specific licensed countries and regions, licensing fees, as well as the amounts and payment methods for future royalties, will be further discussed and finalized in a separate definitive agreement.


BPM noted that Boditech, a listed company on the Korean Exchange, is a leading in vitro diagnostic (IVD) company that develops both reagents and proprietary analytical instruments. Its product portfolio encompasses diagnostic reagents and automated immunoassay analyzers, marketed in over 120 countries globally. With cumulative sales exceeding 120,000 units of its proprietary fluorescence immunoassay analyzers, Boditech boasts extensive operational experience and a robust global sales network. The company has demonstrated steady growth in revenue and profitability in recent years, cementing its leadership position in the industry.

BPM's flagship DNlite-IVD103 is the world's first diagnostic test applied to the precision management and prevention of rapid renal decline in Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). By detecting changes in specific biomarkers in urine, it can effectively predict and monitor the deterioration of a patient's kidney function over the subsequent 5 years, achieving true precision care and disease management.


Dr. Karen Tseng, Chairman and CEO of BPM, stated that BPM possesses globally unique antibody raw materials and key technologies, fully backed by global patent protection. Through this strategic licensing deal, DNlite-IVD103 is officially stepping into the POCT market, marking BPM's first international technology licensing milestone. This not only proves that the company's innovative R&D capabilities are internationally recognized but also highlights the immense commercial value of its global patented technologies.


BPM remains open to further commercial licensing opportunities for DNlite-IVD103. Moving forward, the company's operational strategy will adopt a dual-track approach—promoting its own-brand products alongside technology licensing—to accelerate the global market penetration and widespread adoption of DNlite-IVD103, ultimately driving long-term, sustainable operational growth.
