The data are being presented in more than 30 abstracts at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), December 9-12 in San Diego, California.

Key Points: 
  • The data are being presented in more than 30 abstracts at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), December 9-12 in San Diego, California.
  • “The already-substantial body of evidence supporting clonoSEQ’s prognostic value and clinical actionability is expanding in several important ways at ASH this year,” said Susan Bobulsky, Senior Vice President, Diagnostics, Adaptive Biotechnologies.
  • At this timepoint, MRD status from both PB and BM were similarly prognostic of patients’ progression-free survival (PFS).
  • 88% (15/17) of patients that were MRD negative at day 28 remained MRD negative at 6 months.

Precipio’s Lab Detects BCR-ABL1 Oncogene Co-Expression of p190 & p210 Isoforms in a CML Patient By Using HemeScreen® Technology

Retrieved on: 
Monday, May 22, 2023

While many labs only monitor previously detected mutations for analysis of Minimal Residual Disease Status (MRD) for CML patients, utilization of the HemeScreen BCR-ABL1 Panel enabled Precipio’s clinical lab to detect a co-expression of both p190 and p210 isoforms in this patient leading to more informed care decisions for the treating physician.

Key Points: 
  • While many labs only monitor previously detected mutations for analysis of Minimal Residual Disease Status (MRD) for CML patients, utilization of the HemeScreen BCR-ABL1 Panel enabled Precipio’s clinical lab to detect a co-expression of both p190 and p210 isoforms in this patient leading to more informed care decisions for the treating physician.
  • Changes in isoform expression may happen over time during the course of treatment.
  • The HemeScreen BCR-ABL1 panel simultaneously detects 4 isoforms including p190, p203, p210, and p230 to provide a comprehensive, easy to use assay for its clinical lab.
  • “We, and our customers, continue to see the benefits of using the HemeScreen BCR-ABL1 panel both in lab operations efficiencies and results such as these that enable doctors to make more informed care decisions.”
