CareDx’s AlloSure® Featured in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics

BRISBANE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2016 -- CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq:CDNA), a molecular diagnostics company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value diagnostic surveillance solutions for transplant patients, today announced publication of CareDx’s AlloSure® validation study in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.

CareDx realizes that significant unmet needs exist for non-invasive diagnostic tools to monitor transplant recipients, especially for early detection of active injury and rejection as well as monitoring of changes in immunosuppressive therapy.  For years the company has worked on providing novel diagnostic surveillance solutions for recipients of solid organ transplants.

The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics chose to highlight CareDx’s AlloSure assay, a new clinical grade non-invasive NGS test that measures donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in plasma, by featuring the study in a news release for the November issue of the journal.

“We greatly appreciate that the rigorous and comprehensive description of AlloSure’s validation is recognized by the molecular pathology community. Our team at CareDx has been working tirelessly on making this happen. With the data presented in heart transplant patients and additional data that we generated on kidney transplant patients, we believe we can significantly impact transplant patient care in the near future,” stated John J. Sninsky PhD, Chief Science Officer, CareDx, Inc.
