("Renalytix" or the "Company")
Tempus AI Inc, collaboration agreement
Definitive agreement to accelerate adoption of kidneyintelX.dkd test
to slow kidney disease progression and improve patient outcomes
The kidneyintelX.dkd test to become more
widely available within the Tempus US network of healthcare institutions
LONDON and NEW YORK, 15 September 2025 - Renalytix plc (LSE: RENX) (OTCQB: RNLXY), a precision medicine diagnostics company, with kidneyintelX.dkd, the only FDA-approved and Medicare reimbursed prognostic test to support early-stage risk assessment in chronic kidney disease, announces that it has signed a collaboration agreement with Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM) ("Tempus").
The collaboration will make kidneyintelX.dkd prognostic blood testing more widely available for eligible patients within its US network of healthcare institutions. Eligible patients have type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease, impacting nearly 15 million individuals in the US.
Renalytix's kidneyintelX.dkd will be the first test offered in Tempus' portfolio in the chronic kidney disease category, indicated for use as an aid in predicting level of risk (high, moderate, low) for progressive decline in kidney function in type 2 diabetes patients with diagnosed chronic kidney disease stages 1-3b.
James McCullough, CEO of Renalytix, commented: "The unique Tempus platform, with its broad clinical reach, will allow us to significantly expand patient and clinician access to advanced kidneyintelX.dkd precision medicine testing in one of the largest and costliest chronic disease conditions today. Further, we expect our partnership to be instrumental in driving therapeutic and diagnostic innovation through multi-modal data accumulation and analysis in patients in the cardiovascular, renal and metabolic space."
Ryan Fukushima, Tempus Chief Operating Officer, said:
"We share Renalytix's mission of developing AI-enabled diagnostics designed to support clinicians in surfacing new insights that can inform patient care. This collaboration expands our reach into the diabetes and chronic kidney disease space, and we look forward to bringing our technology to these patients."
Under the agreement, Tempus and Renalytix will collaborate with US health systems to make testing more available for providers to order within existing clinical workflows.
The kidneyintelX.dkd tests will be processed in a Renalytix laboratory with customized patient results reported electronically to the ordering clinician and patient portal, where applicable. The test's insights allow for timely changes in patient management, which can help providers mitigate progressive decline in kidney function and improve key quality metrics in diabetes and kidney care.
Tempus is a technology company advancing precision medicine through the practical application of artificial intelligence in healthcare. With one of the world's largest libraries of multimodal data, and an operating system to make that data accessible and useful, Tempus provides AI-enabled precision medicine solutions to physicians to deliver personalized patient care and in parallel facilitates discovery, development and delivery of optimal therapeutics.
