Personalis and Academic Partners to Present Latest Data on Ultrasensitive ctDNA Test for Residual Cancer and Recurrence Detection

FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for precision oncology, announced today that two oral presentations and a poster presentation featuring data for the company’s NeXT Personal^® ultrasensitive ctDNA assay for residual and recurrent cancer detection will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting April 25-30, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois.

“Our collaborators are excited to present new data, including initial results from the VICTORI study where NeXT Personal is being used to identify residual and recurrent colorectal cancer in patients. With a more sensitive test, our goal is to improve patient outcomes by finding and treating colorectal cancer recurrence earlier. We are also thrilled that NeXT Personal results from the TRACERx collaboration, one of the largest ctDNA studies in early-stage lung cancer, will be presented at the meeting,” said Dr. Richard Chen, Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, R&D at Personalis.

The two oral presentations are:

Oral Presentation: Detection of post-surgical minimal residual disease (MRD) in colorectal cancer; preliminary results from the VICTORI study
