3D Signatures Reports Quarter Ended December 31, 2017 Financial Results

TORONTO, March 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Signatures Inc. (TSXV:DXD) (OTCQB:TDSGF) (FSE:3D0) (the "Company" or "3DS"), a personalized medicine company with a proprietary software platform based on the three-dimensional analysis of chromosomal signatures, today reported operational and financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2017. 3DS also announced that it has terminated its investor relations services agreement with Terry Bramhall of Clearcut communications.

Second Quarter Operational Highlights

The primary operational milestones achieved in the Company’s second financial quarter of 2018 include completion of the clinical study component of its Telo-HLTM validation program, announced October 10, 2017, as well as two non-brokered private placements totaling $2,622,673, announced October 4th and December 5th, 2017. 3DS also announced on October 10, 2017, that two new patents governing high-resolution imaging in cancer progression and the stratification of Alzheimer’s patients had been issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Telo-HLTM is intended to provide clinicians with the first biomarker to identify the 15% - 20% of new Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients who will likely fail standard chemotherapy, and who should immediately be considered for more advanced treatment or inclusion into clinical trials to access emerging treatments such as immunotherapies. The Company believes that Telo-HLTM could provide several advantages to patients and healthcare system payers, including potentially indicating new treatment options, enabling shortened treatment cycles, reducing complications from ineffective treatments and allowing for treatment cost savings.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on February 20, 2018, the Company announced positive topline results from its Telo-HLTM study. Preliminary third-party analysis of the study data for Telo-HLTM shows that the Company’s TeloViewTM platform is able to distinguish, with a high degree of statistical significance, multiple differences between a patient group that responds to standard ABVD chemotherapy, and a group that relapses or is refractory to treatment within the first 12 months.

Six Month Financial Summary

Through efforts that are still ongoing, the Company significantly reduced its monthly burn rate and recorded a net loss of $2,621,655 ($0.05 per Common Share) for the six months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $4,976,684 ($0.13 per Common Share) for the six months ended December 31, 2016.
