MetaStat, Inc. (OTCQB: MTST) is a development stage life sciences company headquartered in Montclair, New Jersey. We are focused on developing and commercializing novel diagnostic technologies and therapeutics for the early and reliable prediction and treatment of systemic metastasis - cancer that spreads from a primary tumor through the bloodstream to other areas of the body. Systemic metastasis is responsible for ~90% of all solid tumor cancer related deaths and as such, we believe that more effective treatment of metastatic disease and/or the prevention of systemic metastasis is needed to improve patient outcomes.

Our licensed proprietary platform technologies are based on the identification of a common pathway for the development of metastatic disease in solid epithelial-based tumors. These discoveries are the result of over 15 years of collaboration with four scientific/academic institutions that enabled us to understand the underlying biology and mechanisms of systemic metastasis. Central to these discoveries are i) the “MetaSite™,” the micro-anatomical site, or “window” in the blood vessels that metastatic cells squeeze through to enter the blood stream to begin their deadly spread, and ii) the pivotal role of the Mena protein and its isoforms in the metastatic cascade.

We are developing two function-based diagnostic product lines, MetaSite Breast™ and MenaCalc™. The MetaSite Breast™ test measures the process of systemic metastasis and is intended for early stage breast cancer patients. MenaCalc™, a platform of diagnostic assays, based on the measurement of the balance of the Mena protein isoforms, is broadly applicable in solid epithelial-based cancers, including breast, prostate, lung and colorectal. Both our MetaSite Breast™ and MenaCalc™ diagnostics are designed to accurately predict the probability of systemic metastasis and to allow clinicians to better "customize" cancer treatment decisions by positively identifying patients with a high-risk of systemic metastasis who need aggressive therapy and by sparing patients with a low-risk of systemic metastasis from the harmful side effects and expense of chemotherapy.

Additionally, we are developing our MenaBloc™ therapeutic platform, with the goal of discovering inhibitors of key pathways that can be advanced as anti-cancer therapeutics in multiple epithelial-based tumor types.
