ImmunID announces publication of clinical study data on ImmunTraCkeR assay in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer

Jul 8 2015

ImmunID today announced the publication of a short report in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (JITC) showing that the analysis of peripheral T cell receptor diversity using the company's ImmunTraCkeR^® assay is associated with clinical outcomes following Ipilimumab treatment in metastatic melanoma. Results from the study, conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, were first presented at the SITC 2014 Annual Meeting.

Study results suggest that ImmunTraCkeR^® may ultimately be used as a companion diagnostic for immune checkpoint agents, to determine eligibility to the treatment.

"We are delighted to have been selected by the JITC editorial board for publication. ImmunID's mission is to add precision to the immuno-oncology revolution by personalizing immunotherapy. A large multicenter study is currently underway (Predict-ID Melanoma, France) with the aim to validate prediction capabilities of ImmunTraCkeR^® for response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. This is an area of high unmet medical need and could be game-changing for patients," said Bernhard Sixt, ImmunID's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
