Reasons to invest
20/20 is pioneering a brand new approach to improve the accuracy and usefulness of conventional clinical lab testing. Rather than simply reporting the biomarker levels, in the way they have for decades, we leverage vast amounts of real-world data together with machine learning to compare the individual’s test results to those of tens of thousands of others with known health outcomes. This proprietary technique is already being used to improve early cancer detection and will soon be deployed to monitor the immunity protection after vaccination. Plans are in the works to expand to heart disease and other chronic conditions.

Our story
Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in most of the industrialized world with survival rates closely tied to stage at time of diagnosis. For example, the 5-year survival rate for lung cancer falls 90% when it passes from Stage 1 to Stage 4.
We believe 20/20 is positioned to help transform the way cancer is screened worldwide, and in doing so, help score a major victory in the fight against this dreaded disease. Despite advancements in treatment, once cancer has gone undetected through its early stages, it frequently becomes lethal. Therefore, the key to winning the fight against cancer is transforming the way cancer is screened for and detected.
the solution
OneTest™ aids in the early detection of multiple cancers from one blood sample. See www.OneTest.AI. In the U.S., the product includes a laboratory developed blood test comprising 6 biomarkers and a machine learning algorithm. Customers have their blood draws sent to our CLIA lab where we perform our analysis and then report the results. Overseas we provide the algorithm only as the biomarker testing can be conducted at thousands of laboratories around the world. This approach is capital efficient and protects our IP.
Testing of tumor markers is performed at the 20/20 GeneSystems’ CLIA laboratory using the Roche Cobas e411 platform. FDA approved Roche IVD reagent kits are used according to manufacturer specifications. Results of individual tumor marker tests are used to calculate a risk score using a proprietary machine-learning algorithm and then generate a patient report. The OneTest report provides the following information to the patient:
Key features of the current product are as follows:
The technical underpinnings of OneTest™ are described in a high impact, reputable peer-reviewed journal article: Wang, et al. “Improving Multi-Tumor Biomarker Health Check-Up Tests with Machine Learning Algorithms”. Cancers 2020, 12, 1442 that was published June 1, 2020.
To the best of our knowledge, 20/20 is the first company to commercialize multi-cancer screening blood tests powered by AI and machine learning algorithms built with real-world outcome data from tens of thousands of previously tested individuals. Screening tests and algorithms must be validated in a “pre-diagnostic” population (i.e. individuals tested before being diagnosed with cancer) to be proven reliable. Our approach of “harvesting” real-world data permits rapid validation from this population with limited costs.
These proprietary algorithms combine the levels of multiple tumor biomarkers (such as CEA, AFP, CA-125, etc.) with clinical factors (e.g. age, gender, smoking history, etc.) and automatically finds “look-alikes” between the tested individuals and tens of thousands of individuals previously tested with the same biomarkers for whom cancer incidences are known.
Biomarker trends from repeat tests are collected, displayed, and stored on our portal since rising biomarker levels often signal an early-stage disease.
In the U.S. we sell OneTest (www.OneTest.AI) to both individuals and occupational groups (e.g. Fire Departments) with proven high cancer risk. Overseas we make the OneTest algorithm available on the cloud to health examination centers on a subscription basis.
Market
We believe that ultimately everyone, everywhere, should take OneTest every year. Recent studies by leading cancer geneticists at Johns Hopkins suggest that far more cancers are caused by aging than from family history, the environment, or lifestyle. This suggests that all adults, beginning in middle age, should be screened regularly for a wide array of cancers. In fact, throughout East Asia most adults receive tumor antigens testing each year at “Health Check Centers.”
Thus the market for multi-cancer screening blood tests includes all adults worldwide roughly between the ages of 45 and 75 (the optimum ages for cancer screening). Currently, there are no widely used safe and affordable tests that help identify as many cancers as our OneTest at comparable price and accuracy levels.
While we see OneTest being a universal test in the long-term in the near-term we are focusing on occupations with proven high incidents of lethal cancers. Studies by the U.S. National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) demonstrate that firefighters are one such occupation. Thus, America’s more than one million career and volunteer firefighters are a key market for OneTest. See www.OneTestforCancer.com/firefighters.
To date OneTest has been ordered for over 3,500 firefighters including orders from over 30 separate fire departments in 16 states. In January the Fairfax County, VA recently ordered the test for nearly 1,500 of their members using a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
About one month into the start of the pandemic we began to source and procure rapid tests backed by strong scientific evidence. Currently 20/20’s COVID-19 tests include a viral (PCR) test whose customers are nursing homes and County and State governments, rapid antibody tests with pharmacies as customers, antigen tests with customers being a service provider to and operators of clinics, and a Roche quantitative test with independent pharmacies and urgent care facilities as customers.
Rapid Antibody Tests - Early in the pandemic we leveraged our relationships in China to procure and validate rapid COVID-19 antibody tests that can be used at clinics and pharmacies. To date we have sold COVID-19 antibody tests generating over $1.2 million in revenues. Our approach in COVID-19 testing has been to affiliate with the best products available (versus developing and manufacturing our own) so as to accelerate our time to a market in a highly fluid environment. This approach also preserves capital while minimizing the risk of being stuck with a technology from which the market moves away.
Independent pharmacies have been among our most active customers of rapid antibody tests. We believe that this large market segment (there are over 20,000 independent pharmacies in the U.S.) is ripe for growth with additional testing products after the pandemic.
Quantitative Antibody Testing - We also offer one of the first quantitative tests for COVID-19 antibodies that can accomodate capillary blood from a fingerstick, in lieu of venous blood drawn by a phlebotomist. This arrangement permits fingerstick blood specimens to be collected at a pharmacy and sent to 20/20’s CLIA lab for quantitative analysis.
The quantitative test, purchased by us from Roche Diagnostics, is expected to be useful following vaccination to assess the durability of immunity. Before a vaccine is administered it is important to know the starting level of antibodies a person has, in order to evaluate any change in antibody levels that the vaccine induces, especially the development of antibodies directed against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. These antibodies have been shown to have potent antiviral activity and correlate to potential immunity. Monitoring antibody levels over time may become vital in assessing the durability of immunity in the months after vaccination.
We are in the process of organizing studies with local and international partners to help ascertain the precise antibody levels below which protective immunity begins to wane. Our goal is to develop a machine learning algorithm for Covid immunity monitoring similar to the approach we used for early cancer detection.
Viral (PCR) Testing
In September 20/20 introduced molecular (PCR) testing in our CLIA lab which previously ran only immunoassays for tumor markers. We began running COVID-19 nasal swab specimens from three Maryland nursing homes. This testing activity is expected to grow at least through the second Quarter of 2021.
Long-term Value from COVID Testing Experience
In addition to revenue generation, we believe the profits from which will be re-invested in longer term growth opportunities, pandemic testing will create shareholder value after the emergency in at least the following ways:
growth
20/20’s Growth Trajectory - Between 2019 and 2020 our company’s year-over-year revenues grew by 700% largely as a result of pandemic related testing. According to the Inc. 5000 annual list such growth would put us among the 1000 fastest growing companies in America.
Key goals and priorities to help yield sustained commercial traction and revenue growth in the 24 month period following the pandemic emergency include the following:
leadership
20/20 consists of a very enthusiastic and driven team dedicated to our core mission of reducing cancer mortality in the U.S. and around the world through early detection. We are focused on trying to save as many lives as possible while also creating a successful and sustainable business. As you can see in the “Bios” section, 20/20 has assembled a very diverse and experienced team with expertise across various aspects of science and business.
why invest
Thanks to recent legislative changes you can now own shares of a company we believe is uniquely positioned for growth and with the ability to save many thousands of lives around the world (perhaps yours or a loved one).
faqs
Does OneTest require FDA pre-market approval?
No. As a “laboratory developed test” (LDT) run out of the clinical laboratory that developed it, OneTest is regulated under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Maryland Department of Health. FDA, with rare exceptions, does not participate in the regulation of LDTs. In general, CLIA approval is directed at laboratory procedures and the technical performance and analytical validity of the test (i.e. whether the test delivers consistent results) rather than the impact of the test on disease outcomes. However the instrumentation and detection kits used in our CLIA lab are FDA cleared. For example, PSA is approved for screening for prostate cancers. The other biomarker detection kits that we use are approved for assisting in diagnosing cancer, monitoring cancer recurrence, and / or therapeutic monitoring. However, several foreign counterparts to the FDA have approved the biomarker test kits we use for use in screening and early detection resulting in the same tests we are using being employed in those countries for the yearly screening of tens of millions of individuals.
What makes OneTest better than its competitors?
While there are very few multi-cancer screening blood tests on the market, there are many emerging competitors, most utilizing sequencing of circulating tumor DNA. Some of OneTest’s key advantages over these competitors are: use of proven biomarkers, vast sets of real-world data, and affordability. OneTest’s underlying panel consists of well known markers used to test tens of millions of individuals each year, primarily in East Asia. Enhancing the power of these markers is our unique access to the real data of over 200,000 real world patients which allows the AI algorithms to extrapolate one’s cancer risk to a higher degree of accuracy. The DNA sequencing tests are expected to price at around $600 to $1000 versus $189 for OneTest, an important differentiator since all of these tests will be self-pay for the foreseeable future.
Who should be tested with your multi-cancer blood test?
Most people incorrectly assume that family history, lifestyle, and environmental exposures are the leading causes of cancer. However, a 2017 study by leading cancer geneticists from Johns Hopkins found that among all tumor types, 66% of the genetic mutations that lead to cancer come from random mutations over a lifetime, 29% from lifestyle or environment, and only 5% from genes inherited from parents. Thus, even those who have little or no family history of cancer and who lead a healthy lifestyle would be wise to routinely screen for cancer. This is the standard practice in Japan, Korea, China and throughout the Far East where nearly all adults, starting at about age 40, undertake day-long annual health checks that usually include blood tests of many of the same protein biomarkers that are part of OneTest.
How accurate is your test?
For detailed information on the accuracy of OneTest, please visit our website https://onetestforcancer.com/learn/. Then, click the “Accuracy, Reliability & Scientific Support” tab.
Are your tests covered by health insurance?
The COVID-19 tests we offer are reimbursed by insurance. But not our cancer tests. With rare exceptions, health insurance (including Medicare) primarily covers treatments and tests for those that have, or are suspected to have an illness or injury. Very few preventative services and screenings for persons without disease symptoms are covered and the exceptions follow ironclad proof that the benefits of the product outweigh the costs of screening hundreds of thousands of individuals over many years. Thus, even in East Asia and Europe, where blood tests for cancer screenings are far more common than in the U.S., screening tests are usually paid for by employers and the individual consumer, not insurance plans. While we do not expect the major insurance plans to cover OneTest any time soon, most HSA / Flex spending accounts can be used for payment.
ABOUT CORONAVIRUS TESTS
What is the value of Covid-19 antibody tests?
Many experts believe that antibody tests, especially those that quantify the levels of antibodies, will be critical in monitoring the strength and durability of immunity in the months following vaccination. While the precise antibody levels needed for protective immunity are not yet clear, many groups, including 20/20, are committed to conducting research to help identify those numbers.
How might the company replace these revenues after everyone is vaccinated?
We expect to sell additional products (e.g. OneTest) to some of our newer customers such as pharmacies. Additionally royalties for licensing our algorithms overseas, especially in Russia, may compensate for some of the revenues we are now deriving from pandemic related diagnostics.

The most exciting trend in cancer treatments is undoubtedly immunotherapy, the approach of stimulating the body’s immune system to fight tumors. For the most part these treatments have been reserved for late stage cancers when survival odds tend to be bleak. However, last month there was a report of the first immunotherapy drug to significantly reduce the risk of cancer recurrence or death in people with early-stage lung cancer.Atezolizumab reduced by 34% the risk of disease recurrence or death in a certain group of people with stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in the United States, accounting for a quarter of all cancer deaths, the American Lung Association says. Non-small cell lung cancer makes up 4 out of 5 lung cancer cases.
Experts suggest that this development will increase demand for tests that can aid in the early detection of lung cancer since the drug represents an opportunity to save the lives of lung cancer patients, if their malignancies are caught in time.
"It is important to emphasize that patients need screening to detect lung cancer early, when it is potentially curable," said Dr. Heather Wakelee, chief of oncology at the Stanford University Medical Center.
Fortunately, early detection of lung cancer has been a longstanding focus of 20/20 GeneSystems. Our first cancer test called “PAULAs test” was focused on non-small cell lung cancer and this test measured many of the same biomarkers in OneTest. We are now transitioning the lung cancer algorithm developed with PAULAs test into OneTest.

We’re approaching the final days of being able to invest in this round of fundraising! We intend to quote on StartEngine Secondary - So we figured this would be a perfect time to give some more details on how it works!
StartEngine Secondary is intended to be one of the first public trading marketplaces in the US for companies that have raised capital via Regulation A+ and Regulation Crowdfunding. Today if you invest in a company on StartEngine, you typically can’t exit your investment until that company experiences a liquidity event, such as being acquired by another business or an IPO. Those events can take anywhere from 5-10 years to occur, if they occur at all.
StartEngine hopes to change that with StartEngine Secondary. The long term plan for StartEngine Secondary is for investors to trade their startup investments on their public marketplace if available. The main intention is to bring potential liquidity to the private investment marketplace.
We here at 20/20 GeneSystems are very excited about potentially being one of the first companies to quote on StartEngine Secondary and we cannot wait to see what the next steps are for this new age in finance that is constantly evolving in front of our eyes!
Don’t wait to invest in 20/20 GeneSystems today!
While the company has signed a quotation agreement to trade the securities offered on StartEngine Secondary’s new alternative trading system (the “ATS”), a company which intends to be quoted on the marketplace will be subject to certain requirements which the company may or may not be able to satisfy in a timely manner. Even if a company is qualified to quote its securities on the market, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

Over the past few weeks 20/20 has taken preliminary steps towards applying our pioneering testing methodology to diseases beyond cancer.
The unique approach of OneTest for Cancer (which we call “20/20 Hindsight”) is to harvest large quantities of real-world outcome data from previously tested individuals and use it to build machine learning algorithms that help predict likelihood of disease. Our next target is cardiovascular disease which remains the #1 killer in most of the world.
Last month we retained two medical specialists as consultants to help us identify data sources that may permit us to build “OneTest for Cardio.” Neil Kramer, M.D. has practiced cardiology for over four decades and Michael Rose, M.D. practices internal medicine at Johns Hopkins medical system.

Over 40% of large employers in the U.S., public and private sector, offer supplemental insurance (a/k/a "voluntary benefits") to their employees. Many of these plans, from carriers such as Aflac, MetLife, and others, include a wellness or screening benefit that pays policy holders at least $50 once per year for designated screening tests. The biomarkers measured with OneTest (PSA, CEA, etc.) qualify for a screening benefit with most of these plans. An example of one such benefit list may be viewed here.
A leading national voluntary benefits carrier is now conducting a pilot in a Maryland county to assess the value of offering OneTest to its beneficiaries and customer leads. We are hoping the assessments leads to a relationship with the carrier, which could potentially expand exposure to our products and cover the bulk of future customers testing costs.

Since the implementation of the JOBS Act of 2012 Americans at nearly all economic levels have been free to buy stock in companies before they go public. This was a revolutionary change in that since the 1930’s only wealthy individuals were free to invest in these companies (with some limited exceptions.) However for equity crowdfunding to be sustainable it is important to expand opportunities not only to buying stock but for selling as well.
We are therefore pleased to announce our intention to become one of the first crowdfunded companies to quote our shares on StartEngine Secondary, a new “alternative trading system” or “ATS” established specifically for companies like 20/20 that have succeeded under Regulation A+. Our hope is to provide liquidity to our shareholders through this new endeavor for 20/20 GeneSystems.
While the company has signed a quotation agreement to trade the securities offered on StartEngine Secondary’s new alternative trading system (the “ATS”), a company which intends to be quoted on the marketplace will be subject to certain requirements which the company may or may not be able to satisfy in a timely manner.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
