Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for cancer, today announced that it has entered into a research agreement with Invectys, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative immunotherapy approaches to treat cancers. Under the terms of the agreement, Personalis will provide comprehensive tumor immunogenomics capabilities to facilitate biomarker discovery in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients enrolled in a Phase II clinical trial assessing the efficacy of INVAC-1, a DNA plasmid encoding a modified human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) protein, as monotherapy or in combination with ibrutinib.
“Personalis is known for their innovative and expansive cancer immunogenomics expertise, and we’re delighted to partner with them on this project to evaluate biomarker signatures in responders and non-responders to our leading cancer vaccine candidate, INVAC-1,” said Pierre Langlade Demoyen, CEO of Invectys. “INVAC-1 has the potential to become a key component of combination therapy approaches for the treatment of various solid and hematologic cancer types. Our work with Personalis will help us to determine which patients are most likely to respond favorably to these novel treatment regimens.”
Invectys is now enrolling CLL patients in this Phase II, open-label, single-arm trial consisting of two patient groups: 45 patients receiving INVAC-1 as monotherapy and an additional 45 patients receiving INVAC-1 in combination with ibrutinib, a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor. The primary goal of the study is to achieve minimal residual disease negativity in both groups. The trial is being conducted at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT03265717 .
“Invectys has built an exciting pipeline of novel, next-generation immunotherapies, and we’re thrilled to help drive their lead program forward,” said John West, CEO of Personalis. “Having already established ourselves as a leader in comprehensive tumor immunogenomic profiling and biomarker discovery for solid tumor indications, we’ve seen increasing use of our capabilities for biomarker evaluation in hematologic cancer types. This bodes well as we continue to rollout and onboard customers for our newly-launched, universal cancer immunogenomics platform, ImmunoID NeXT™.”

Does Muscle Composition Identify High-Risk Individuals in Chronic Kidney Disease? New AMRA Medical Study Says Yes, Reveals Strong Link to Mortality23.4.2026 17:10:00 CEST | Press release
AMRA Medical researchers recently set out to answer the question: what is the relationship between adverse muscle composition (AMC) and mortality in kidney disease? Recent findings demonstrate that AMC, characterized by low muscle volume z-score and high muscle fat infiltration, is an independent and strong predictor of all-cause mortality in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The findings, published in Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, were based on data from the UK Biobank imaging study and further reinforce the clinical relevance of MRI-derived muscle biomarkers in identifying high-risk populations across chronic diseases.
