Henderson, Nevada, November 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) (“Volition”), a multi-national epigenetics company, today announces financial results and a business update for the third quarter of 2024. Volition management will host a conference call tomorrow, November 15 at 8:30 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time to discuss these results. Conference call details can be found below.
Highlights
- Sold over 110,000 Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Tests in the first three quarters 2024.
- Expanded access to the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test – now available for purchase in 17 countries worldwide.
- Hosted Satellite Symposium at European Society of Intensive Care Medicine 2024 and issued a report showcasing Nu.Q® NETs test data from over 3,000 intensive care sepsis patients.
- Made significant progress across a number of clinical and research programs within our cancer pillar.
- Advancing several active commercial discussions with significant players in the diagnostic space for both human and animal health, including large markets such as sepsis and oncology liquid biopsy.
- Opened Data Rooms for potential near-term licensing opportunities.
- Strengthened the Board of Directors in the appointment of experienced chair, Timothy Still and Independent Director, Dr. Ethel Rubin, both of whom bring significant commercial and financing experience in the diagnostic sector.
Cameron Reynolds, President and Group Chief Executive Officer, said:
“I am delighted that we have sold more than 110,000 Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Tests in the first nine months of 2024; not only is this a significant commercial achievement but means that so many families now have access to early cancer detection for their dogs.
“In the human space, we were proud to showcase positive data at a Satellite Symposium at the world’s largest intensive care conference held in October. Data from three large, independent studies involving more than 3,000 sepsis patients demonstrated that Nu.Q® NETs could be used to predict patients at greater risk of deteriorating from sepsis. It is hoped that using the Nu.Q® NETs test to measure elevated H3.1 nucleosome levels as a treatable trait could provide a therapeutic target in sepsis management, and be a game changer in modifying a patient’s trajectory.
“Our near term focus is to secure our first licensing deal in the human clinical space and I am pleased to report, that given the strong data, the team continues to make good progress with key industry players.”
Financial Highlights
- $1 million revenue YTD 2024, up 96% over the prior YTD.

- Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024, totaled approximately $5.4 million.
- Subsequent to quarter end received commitment of over $2.2 million of non-dilutive funding from agencies within the Walloon Region, Belgium, with more funding anticipated in quarter one 2025.
