How do we ship?

Please follow these steps to prepare the box and ship the sample to our lab:

1. Enclose the following items in the provided shipping box:
2 black-topped tubes
1 purple-topped blood tube
2 ice packs surrounding the tubes

Important note: To avoid ice packs contacting the cells, place the tube in a foam insert or wrap the tubes with a bubble wrap.

‍

2. Place FedEx label on the boxUse the FedEx return label that was provided to you and affix to the box exterior. FedEx will not bill you for this service.

‍

3. Ship using FedExCall 800-GO FEDEX (800-463-3339) at least 2 hours before your office closes for a pickup at your location. (After you dial the number press “0”, then say “ship a package” to schedule a pickup.)

What does the ImpriMed Personalized Prediction Profile include?

The Personalized Prediction Profile includes our Immunoprofile report and anticancer drug response predictions generated by artificial intelligence models. The predictions include estimates of both (1) the likelihood of a positive clinical response (partial response/ complete remission) to individual anticancer drugs and (2) the likelihood complete remission after 1 or 2 cycles of CHOP therapy, and the likelihood of early relapse after a successful CHOP regimen. Outcome predictions are currently provided for 13 individual drugs that are commonly used in many first-line and rescue protocols for the treatment of canine lymphoma (including CHOP, LOPP, MOPP, LPP, Tavonea only, etc…). Predictions are included for Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, Vinblastine, Prednisone, Rabacfosadine (Tanovea®), L-Asparaginase, Lomustine, Mitoxantrone, Mechlorethamine, Dexamethasone, Chlorambucil, and Melphalan.

I have a patient with likely lymphoma/leukemia. For a blood sample, can I just submit an EDTA blood tube or do I still use the ImpriMed tubes (and if so, how many tubes and is an additional EDTA blood tube still needed with that)?

If the patient is suspected of leukemia, blood collected in the EDTA tube should be fine. If it is lymphoma, we might need FNA from the affected organ/lymph node. We can suggest FNA in ImpriMed media tube (1) and 2ml of blood sample in an EDTA tube.

What is the simulated dosing for a certain drug? MTD(maximum tolerated dosing) or metronomic?

Our models don't differentiate between different types of dosing, so they can be viewed as outcomes for standard clinical practice. For instance, if MTD is more common in practice, the models may more closely reflect MTD.

When can I expect to receive the sample return boxes I requested online?

You can expect to receive the boxes in 7-12 days via FedEx Ground.

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.
