Recent Business Updates
- Announced a collaboration with National Cancer Center Hospital East and Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd to perform exploratory biomarker analysis using highly sensitive and comprehensive genomic tests from Personalis to better predict immunotherapy response for resectable rectal cancer with mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR)
- Received notice from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Million Veterans Program (VA MVP) that it has exercised the first of four one-year renewal options under the September 2022 contract
- Filed second patent infringement lawsuit against Foresight Diagnostics as part of the company’s continuing efforts to protect its investment and industry-leading intellectual property position in whole genome, tumor-informed minimal residual disease (MRD) testing
“We continue expanding our biopharma funnel of opportunities for NeXT Personal® and expect revenue growth to begin ramping later this year, which allowed us to tighten the revenue guidance range,” said Chris Hall, President and CEO of Personalis. “We continue to crisply execute and plan to launch our highly sensitive MRD test later this year for oncologists. As we and our partners build a base of supportive evidence, we are paving the way for our successful entry into the clinical diagnostics market.”
