For patients who already have flow cytometry, can you just run the drug sensitivity profile?

Yes, our AI-driven Drug Response Predictions Only (DRP) service is available starting May 2024. This service focuses solely on the drug prediction aspect, providing you with insights without the flow cytometry and PARR results.

What is a drug sensitivity test?

A drug sensitivity test is a lab test that measures how easily cells are killed by a drug.When you order a Personalized Prediction Profile, ImpriMed uses a proprietary high-throughput ex vivo drug sensitivity testing platform to analyze your patient’s live cells. For our canine leukemia and lymphoma service, we expose the cells to 13 different drugs commonly used to treat these diseases: L-Asparaginase, Mitoxantrone, Vincristine, Vinblastine, Doxorubicin, Rabacfosadine (Tanovea®), Chlorambucil, Mechlorethamine, Lomustine, Prednisolone (activated Prednisone), Mafosfamide (activated Cyclophosphamide), Melphalan, and Dexamethasone.-

How long until I get my ImpriMed report?

Our flow cytometry, PARR, and Immunoprofile reports are emailed to you 3-4 days after receipt of your patient’s sample(s) at our lab. The Personalized Prediction Profile reports are emailed to you 6-7 days after receipt of your patient’s sample(s) at our lab.

What is included in the ImpriMed Immunoprofile service?

The ImpriMed Immunoprofile service includes both our Flow Cytometry and PARR reports. These comprehensive results can be used to detect the presence of lymphoma or leukemia and determine the disease subtype.

Can we select non-MDR substrate drugs for known or suspected MDR dogs?

Yes, you can select non-MDR1 drugs when indicating your drug priorities, but the final report will also include all drugs.

What is the successful prediction rate for this test?

Positive predictive values for our AI-based drug response predictions are 80% or higher.
