Do you test "rescue" drugs as well?

Yes, many of the 13 anticancer drugs we provide predictions for are used for rescue therapy. The drugs we test against are: L-Asparaginase, Mitoxantrone, Vincristine, Vinblastine, Doxorubicin, Tanovea, Chlorambucil, Mechlorethamine, Lomustine, Prednisone, Cyclophosphamide, Melphalan, and Dexamethasone.

How do I prepare serum and saline tube?

If you do not have our proprietary media tubes handy at the moment, please use the serum and saline protocol from the CSU Hemapathology Lab

Is this test available outside the US? Could I order the test?

Because we require live, fresh, cancer cells within 24-48 hours of doing a fine needle aspiration, we are ONLY offering our services in North America at this time. If you already had an experience of sending biopsy samples to the US in 24-48 hours, we could discuss the work further. Please contact info@imprimedicine.com.

Would we need to set up a Vet Portal for each doctor or just our hospital?

If you would like to set up accounts for the hospital, please send us a list of doctors' names and email addresses as well as any support staff who would need access to the Vet Portal. Each doctor can also register independently on the Vet Portal. Please note the report will be sent to the ordering veterinarian's email, not to all hospital accounts.

How does ImpriMed predict drug responses?

Our predictions are made by artificial intelligence (AI) models trained to predict clinical outcomes from patient data inputs. Clinical outcomes collected from oncologists include reports of progressive disease, stable disease, partial response, and complete response. Patient data used as inputs by the AI models include readings from our live-cell drug sensitivity assay, flow cytometry, PARR, and patient information.Models are re-trained periodically to incorporate new data and refine performance.

For the blood tube submission– Do you request that on every patient, even if they don't have a leukemic component? And what type of blood tube do you request we send the sample in?

We require at least 2 mL of whole blood in an EDTA-treated tube.
