Summary not available.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) will present updated analyses from the phase III ALTAIR trial at ASCO GI (Jan 8–10, 2026). A post‑hoc blinded central radiographic review reclassified cases and showed a statistically significant disease‑free survival (DFS) benefit for Trifluridine/Tipiracil (FTD/TPI) versus placebo in Signatera‑positive colorectal cancer patients (median DFS 9.23 vs 5.55 months; HR 0.75, 95% CI: 0.55–0.98; P=0.0406). This result updates a prior overall ALTAIR analysis that was numerically improved but not statistically significant. Natera will also present data on Signatera velocity showing ~40% shorter RFS with ctDNA doubling ≤1 month.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) launched an expanded 21-gene Fetal Focus single-gene NIPT powered by LinkedSNP technology, backed by prospective blinded data from the EXPAND trial.
In 294 total samples across 21 genes, the test demonstrated 96% sensitivity (24/25 affected pregnancies) and 98% population-weighted specificity. In a new 193-sample cohort covering 16 added genes, Fetal Focus showed 100% sensitivity (14/14) and 94.2% observed specificity. EXPAND has enrolled >1,800 participants and includes diagnostic confirmation for all positive and negative cases. The test is presented as an option when partner carrier testing is unavailable after a positive carrier screen.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) will participate in the 44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco on Jan. 13, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. PT (7:30 p.m. ET). Management will deliver a presentation and host a Q&A with the investment community. A live webcast will be available via the company's investor relations site at investor.natera.com, and a replay will be posted shortly after the event.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) announced publication in JAMA Oncology of a randomized phase III CALGB (Alliance)/SWOG 80702 analysis of Signatera ctDNA in stage III colorectal cancer (940 patients with post-surgical plasma). Key findings: in Signatera-positive patients, adding celecoxib to FOLFOX lowered recurrence and death risk by ~40% (DFS adjusted HR=0.61; OS adjusted HR=0.62) with 3-year DFS 41.0% vs 22.6% and 5-year OS 61.6% vs 39.9%. No significant benefit was seen in Signatera-negative patients. A QC-restricted subgroup (66%) showed stronger benefit (adjusted HR=0.49); Natera reports 99% routine QC pass rate.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) and collaborators published I‑SPY 2 results in Nature Communications showing Signatera personalized ctDNA testing can refine risk stratification in 723 women with high‑risk, early‑stage breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant therapy (NAT).
Key findings: Signatera improved prognostic precision beyond residual cancer burden (RCB) for RCB‑II/III patients; post‑NAT ctDNA– patients had substantially higher 3‑year distant recurrence‑free survival (e.g., RCB‑II T3 88% vs 57%; RCB‑III T3 83% vs 22% for ctDNA– vs ctDNA+). Persistent post‑NAT ctDNA+ predicted recurrence (adjusted HR 5.20, p < 0.001). Median assay variant conservation was 94–97% between pretreatment and post‑NAT samples.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) and MEDSIR announced the MiRaDoR phase II multicenter trial (NCT05708235) testing Signatera Genome‑guided interventions in early‑stage HR+/HER2‑ breast cancer.
Up to 60 Signatera‑positive patients without radiologic recurrence will be sequentially assigned to four arms: standard endocrine therapy (90 days) then switch to Arm B giredestrant, Arm C giredestrant+abemaciclib, or Arm D giredestrant+inavolisib for PIK3CA‑mutant patients. Primary endpoint: proportion with ≥90% ctDNA decrease/clearance at 3 months. Enrollment is underway with UK sites active and further European activations expected in 2026.
Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA) reported initial translational results from the Phase III PALLAS trial showing that Signatera MRD testing after surgery strongly stratifies distant recurrence risk in stage II–III HR+/HER2- breast cancer.
In a U.S. biomarker cohort of 420 patients, ~92% were MRD-negative at baseline with a 5-year DRFI of 93%, while baseline MRD-positive (~8%) had a 5-year DRFI of 28% (HR ~15). At end of treatment, MRD-negative 5-year DRFI was 95% and MRD-positive 32% (HRs >20). MRD status at baseline, ~6 months, and EOT was consistently highly prognostic versus clinicopathologic factors.
