Under the terms of the agreement, Personalis will provide comprehensive tumor immunogenomics capabilities to facilitate biomarker discovery in chronic lymphocytic leukemia 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.
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.
