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

No, we cannot run a drug sensitivity-only service. Please understand our AI-based drug response prediction models require flow cytometry and PARR parameters generated from our own instrumental setting. Even if the patient already has flow cytometry results from another laboratory, we need to run flow and PARR again anyway.

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.

Can the testing be performed on dogs that are currently on therapy?

Current therapy will not affect our AI predictions or immunoprofile results. However, reduction of tumor size caused by therapy may increase the likelihood of service failure due to insufficient cells. In the event of service failure, you will not be billed.

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.
