xCellSense®: FUNCTIONAL DRUG-RESPONSE DATA FROM LIVING PATIENT CELLS

xCellSense® measures how primary blood-cancer cells respond to your drug candidate ex vivo—with study-specific capabilities for combination profiling, population-resolved flow cytometry, molecular profiling, and machine-learning analytics using matched aliquots from the same patient specimen.

The Hard Part, Solved

Keeping primary cells alive

Primary blood-cancer cells are notoriously fragile outside the body. ImpriMed's proprietary Optimum Media preserves the viability and stability of patient-derived cells after biopsy — where conventional media lose them within days.

That viability window is what enables quantitative, reproducible functional testing on real patient cells. It is difficult to replicate — and it is the technical foundation of everything below.

One Sample, Multiple Readouts

Draw the readouts you need from a single sample

Dose-Response Package

Individual dose-response curves, IC₅₀ / AUC / Eₘₐₓ metrics, and cross-sample statistics.

Drug Combination Package

Multi-drug combinations with quantitative synergy metrics (Bliss, Loewe, ZIP, HSA) and full dose-response data.

Flow Cytometry Package

Gating strategies, population viability, and antigen expression — resolving response in the malignant population.

Genomic & Transcriptomic

Targeted or full NGS — mutation summary, gene list, VAF, DEGs, and predicted impact.

Integration Summary

Responder stratification, biomarker and clinical insights, and inclusion-criteria recommendations.

Extended Analyses

scRNA-seq (UMAP, pathway, cluster markers) and bulk RNA-seq / Methyl-seq integration.

Machine-learning Analytics

A clear, defensible interpretation — not a raw-data dump

An ML analytics layer scores synergy, classifies response patterns, extracts predictive biomarkers, and stratifies responders from non-responders — transforming multidimensional functional and genomic data into a sponsor-ready interpretation.
