BRISBANE, Calif., Nov. 03, 2016 -- CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq:CDNA), a molecular diagnostics company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value diagnostic solutions for transplant patients, announced it will present data on validation of AlloSure at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) in Charlotte, North Carolina.
AlloSure is a clinical-grade proprietary Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) based test to detect donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in solid organ transplant recipients. The results that will be presented expand on the validation of AlloSure that was recently published by The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics and were highlighted in an associated journal press release.
Three abstracts are to be presented at AMP, each providing further validation of the AlloSure assay.
Following is a summary of the abstracts that will be presented at AMP 2016:
Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA, a Non-invasive Marker for Transplanted Organ Injury: Accurate and Precise Measurement without Prior Genotyping Regardless of Donor-Recipient Familial Relationship
(TT50) Date/Time: Friday, November 11, 2:30pm – 3:30pm
Beyond Analytical Validity: Each step in the testing process is robustly demonstrated as accurate from specimen acquisition to final result reporting
(TT44) Date/Time: Friday, November 11, 2:30pm – 3:30pm
Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA Is Successfully Quantified in HLA-matched Kidney Transplantation
(G33) Date/Time: Saturday, November 12, 9:45am – 10:45am
“We are thrilled that the scientific community is embracing our integration of NGS recommended guidelines from AMP, CAP, NYDOH and other professional organizations for analytical validation of AlloSure. The data presented at the AMP annual meeting provide evidence for reliable testing of dd-cfDNA in related donors and HLA-matched patients, increasing the range of patients for which physicians can confidently test.” says John J. Sninsky, Chief Scientific Officer, CareDx, Inc.
