CareDx to Present New Heart Transplant Data at the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation Annual Meeting

What To Know

  • “CareDx has been a great partner for heart transplantation for so many years, and I'm thrilled to be a part of their continuous innovation in patient care related to heart rejection detection,” said Mario Deng, M.
  • A Comparison of AlloMap versus Echocardiographic Doppler Tissue Imaging in Assessing the Presence of Rejection in Orthotopic Heart Transplant Recipients – R.

CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNA), a leading precision medicine company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value healthcare solutions for transplant patients and caregivers.

CareDx notes the experts will present its latest heart research, which was accepted at the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions, set to take place between April 24-28, 2021.

CareDx’s offerings are showcased through 22 abstracts throughout the ISHLT program. These data selected by the ISHLT organizers, will be presented by prominent thought leaders, highlighting the continued leadership in the cardiothoracic space. Additionally, a CareDx symposium will spotlight leaders in the field of heart and lung transplantation delivering cutting edge content on HeartCare, AlloMap®, AlloSure® Heart, and RemoTraC.

“CareDx has been a great partner for heart transplantation for so many years, and I’m thrilled to be a part of their continuous innovation in patient care related to heart rejection detection,” said Mario Deng, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.E.S.C., UCLA Health.

CareDx will present its virtual symposium: “HeartCare: The Utility of Multi-Modality in Transplant Patient Care” on Sunday, April 25 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

This session will provide insights on HeartCare, the combination of AlloMap and AlloSure Heart, including the evolution of patient specific biomarkers, data supporting utility in CMV and CAV, and patient case studies.

Speakers include:
Mario Deng, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.E.S.C., UCLA Health
Brett Sperry, M.D., Saint Luke’s Health System
Heddy Luise Holzhauser, M.D., F.A.C.C., Penn Medicine
Manreet Kanwar, M.D., Allegheny Health

“This year marks our most successful ISHLT abstract session to-date—with an unprecedented 15 heart abstracts and 7 lung abstracts accepted,” said Reg Seeto, President and CEO, CareDx. “These abstracts underscore and showcase the value our diagnostic surveillance tools provide for heart and lung transplant recipients.”

The following heart transplant abstracts will be presented:

  • The Impact of Grade 1R Endomyocardial Biopsies on Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA, Higher-Grade Rejection and Development of Donor Specific Antibodies – A. Kao, St. Luke’s Hospital
  • Plasma Donor-derived Cell-free DNA Levels Are Not Affected by Prednisone Dose Nor Time After Heart Transplant: Pilot Data From SHORE – K. Ghafourian, Northwestern Medicine
  • Combining Donor Derived Cell-Free DNA and Gene Expression Profiling for Non-Invasive Surveillance after Heart Transplantation – E. J. Henricksen, Pharmacy, Stanford Health Care
  • Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA Predicts DeNovo DSA after Heart Transplantation – J. Teuteberg, Stanford University Medical Center
  • Heart Transplant Recipients with pAMR1(H+) and pAMR2 Rejection Have the Same Amount of Myocardial Injury by AlloSure – M. W. Weston, Tampa General Hospital
  • Initiation of Noninvasive Surveillance for Allograft Rejection in a Cohort of Heart Transplant Patients >1 Year after Transplant: An Exploratory Analysis – Jakrin Kewcharoen, University of Hawaii
  • Racial Disparities in Gene Expression Profiling but Not Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA after Heart Transplant – Kiran Khush, M.D., Stanford University Medical Center
  • Single Center Experience in Using Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA and Gene Expression Profiling in Heart Transplantation – S.M. Attig, Mayo Clinic Arizona
  • Interpretation of AlloMap in Clinically Stable Combined Heart-Kidney Transplant Recipients – M. Flattery, Pauley Heart Center

The study is designed to assess the clinical utility and workflow benefits of Swoop® system images acquired at infusion centers and clinics to help physicians detect amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in Alzheimer’s patients receiving amyloid-targeting therapy at the times specified in the labeling (before the fifth, seventh, and fourteenth infusions).

Indaptus Therapeutics Presents Positive Mechanism of Action Data at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting

Dr. Michael Newman, Indaptus’ Founder, Chief Scientific Officer, and lead author, commented, “The new data are consistent with our preclinical animal tumor model studies and provide evidence for our hypothesis that patented Decoy bacteria can activate a wide range of innate and adaptive human immune cells involved in fighting tumors.  This aligns with what we’ve observed in our ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of Decoy20 – broad immune activation, as evidenced by transiently increased levels of many key cytokines and chemokines following single dose administration. These findings bolster our confidence in Decoy20's potential as a multifaceted immunotherapy.”

Enliven Therapeutics Announces Positive Proof of Concept Data from Phase 1 Clinical Trial of ELVN-001 in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

“We are excited to present the first look at the safety and clinical activity of ELVN-001, which we believe supports the potential for ELVN-001 to address the limitations of the available active-site TKIs,” said Helen Collins, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Enliven. “Across a wide dose range, ELVN-001 demonstrated activity in a heavily pre-treated patient population that includes post-asciminib patients, with a preliminary safety profile consistent with its highly selective design. Not only did all evaluable patients have improved or stable BCR::ABL1 transcript levels, but, importantly, 89% of all patients enrolled remain on study. We believe the initial data demonstrate the potential clinical utility of ELVN-001 for all types of patients, including those that are earlier in the treatment paradigm.”
