SOPHiA GENETICS and Myriad Genetics announce new collaboration to advance prostate genomic instability score technology.

SOPHiA GENETICS and Myriad Genetics announce new collaboration to advance prostate genomic instability score technology. 08 Oct, 2026, 18:30 IST BOSTON, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - SOPHiA GENETICS (NASDAQ: SOPH) and Myriad Genetics, Inc., (NASDAQ: MYGN) today announce a collaboration to advance new prostate cancer-specific genomic instability score (PrGIS) technology to support precision oncology approaches with AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/NYSE: AZN). PrGIS is a novel biomarker signature designed to assess chromosomal instability associated with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in prostate cancer patients. The collaboration aims to advance PrGIS in clinical trials and expand access to precision oncology medicines through potential companion diagnostic solutions. Myriad developed PrGIS to support HRD as an actionable biomarker in prostate cancer, where HRD is emerging as an important prognostic and predictive biomarker. The proprietary MyChoice(R) CDx test which is currently available as a companion diagnostic in ovarian cancer, will produce the PrGIS score and is being advanced for prostate cancer as a new indication. "This collaboration showcases Myriad's biopharma capabilities to support development of precision oncology treatments," said Lou Welebob, Senior Vice President, Companion Diagnostics, Myriad Genetics. "PrGIS is designed to provide biopharma partners with a platform that may support patient stratification in clinical trials and help accelerate companion diagnostic development for precision oncology therapies." As part of the collaboration, SOPHiA GENETICS is developing its solid tumor application for Extended Homologous Recombination Solution into a decentralized companion diagnostic solution. The solution will incorporate Myriad's PrGIS technology and aim to expand patient access to PrGIS in global markets. SOPHiA GENETICS' technology-agnostic, cloud-based platform offers local laboratory testing across a global network of more than 1,000 connected institutions in over 75 countries. "Precision medicine has a geographic problem because breakthrough therapies developed in major markets often remain inaccessible to patients in the rest of the world," said Jess Lambe, VP & Managing Director of BioPharma Business Development, SOPHiA GENETICS. "By pairing Myriad's world-class biomarker innovation with SOPHiA GENETICS' global network, we are working toward a solution for this. Together, we're building a new model for companion diagnostic deployment that could help innovative therapies reach the right patients locally, expanding access to care where it matters the most." Upcoming ESMO data to highlight PrGIS as a novel biomarker in prostate cancer Myriad also plans to present PrGIS research, co-authored with AstraZeneca, at the upcoming European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026. The research is expected to further characterize the biomarker and support its validation. Full data will be available following the ESMO embargo period. About SOPHiA GENETICS SOPHiA GENETICS (Nasdaq: SOPH) is an AI-native healthcare technology company on a mission to transform patient care by expanding access to data-driven medicine globally. It is the creator of SOPHiA DDM(TM), an AI platform that analyzes complex genomic and multimodal data to generate real-time, real-world insights for a broad global network of hospital, laboratory, and biopharma institutions.

Myriad Genetics slashes 2026 revenue outlook to $770M–$790M amid prenatal test weakness

Myriad Genetics slashed its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $770 million–$790 million after reporting second-quarter sales of $190.7 million and a net loss of $43.2 million. The cut reflects weaker prenatal health test volumes and more cautious revenue-per-test expectations. The company's share price fell 49% following the announcement. Despite the prenatal testing weakness, Myriad expanded its partnership with Burning Rock Biotech through a new global HRD technology licensing agreement covering prostate cancer and additional markets. Analysts had previously projected 2029 revenue of approximately $1 billion with $198 million in earnings. The reduced guidance may prompt investors to reconsider expectations for Myriad's pivot towards oncology testing as it faces mounting pressure in its prenatal testing business.
