ImmunID Key Technology Patents Covering ImmunTraCkeR And ImmunIG Granted In The United States, Europe, Canada And Japan

GRENOBLE, France, July 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ImmunID today announced the granting of key patents in the United States, Europe, Canada and Japan. These patents cover the underlying technology of the ImmunTraCkeR® and ImmunIG® assays, which are evaluating a patient's own immune system, both T-Cell repertoire and B-Cell repertoire. ImmunTraCkeR® has demonstrated clinical utility predicting response to immuno-oncology therapies and is currently under further validation for prediction of response and monitoring of cancer patients under treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The two patent families (WO2005056828 and WO2009095567) cover the multi-N-plex® Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology underlying the ImmunTraCkeR® and ImmunIG® assays.

"The immune system plays a fundamental role in diseases, which is why monitoring it is essential. As a pioneer in the field of immune molecular diagnostics for a decade, ImmunID has filed multiple patent applications covering clinical applications of its immune assays in immunotherapy, cancer and infections," explained Nicolas Pasqual, Chief Scientific Officer, and Sebastien Weisbuch, Chief Operating Officer, both co-founders of ImmunID.

"Our IP strategy focuses on ring-fencing the technology of our assays while securing the emerging clinical value. This combination creates the commercial value crucial to attract high quality investors and the funds needed to allow further validation and identification of new clinical utility for our assays," added Bernhard Sixt, ImmunID's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
