iMDx Reports Kidney Transplant Patient Achieved ‘Immune Reset' with Novel Therapy and GraftAssure Monitoring
Globenewswire· 2025-10-06 11:15
Core Insights - Insight Molecular Diagnostics Inc. (iMDx) announced the results of a study demonstrating the effectiveness of its GraftAssure assay for long-term monitoring of kidney transplant patients with severe complications [1][4] - The study highlighted a unique case of a 33-year-old patient who developed lymphoma, requiring the cessation of traditional immunosuppression, with GraftAssure testing confirming the absence of organ rejection during treatment with novel CD19 CAR-T therapy [2][8] Study Findings - The patient maintained stable graft function for approximately two years without immunosuppression and remained in remission, indicating a potential "immune reset" due to the treatment [3][8] - GraftAssure's dd-cfDNA assay was identified as a reliable tool for monitoring organ rejection in this rare clinical scenario, suggesting its growing importance as transplant care evolves [4][9] Product Overview - The GraftAssure family of assays includes GraftAssureCore, a laboratory-developed test (LDT) currently reimbursed by Medicare, and GraftAssureIQ, available for research use only [5][16] - GraftAssureDx is in development as a clinical molecular diagnostic test kit aimed at improving access to testing for kidney transplant patients, targeting an estimated $1 billion market for transplant rejection testing [5][16] Clinical Implications - The study emphasizes the role of non-invasive biomarkers like dd-cfDNA in guiding therapy for transplant patients, particularly those undergoing immunotherapy for conditions like post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) [6][9] - The successful use of GraftAssure in this case may lead to increased clinical applications and the necessity for ongoing molecular diagnostic monitoring as transplant therapies evolve [4][10]
