Sninsky:AlloMap is 11gene test, gene expression score. CARGO, IMAGE, CARGOII, eIMAGE, OAR studies from 2004 #NGDx15

12:32pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Sninsky: Six replicates with Horizon, linearity 1-4%, up to 12%. Also 0.2, 0.4% #NGDx15

12:32pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Sninsky: Used also plasma mixtures, method based material with 8398 (GIAB), and standardized analysis (DNAnexus and precisionFDA) #NGDx15

12:31pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Sninsky: Reference materials via Horizon - for mixed cell lines mimic the trace individual. Will shear size, mimic cfDNA, dPCR char #NGDx15

12:30pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Sninsky:Mentions this paper, others http://t.co/j3yBTHug0A CareDx depends on SNPs, no need for donor/recipient genotypes #NGDx15

12:28pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Sninsky: #NG Mentions NIPT (5-20% fetal cfDNA); cancer (0.01-10% complext interpretation); solid organ (0.1-15% dd-cfDNA) Dx15

12:25pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Sninsky: Diagnostic kit dev - analytic validation, clinical validation, clin utility, comparative effectiveness. #NGDx15

12:24pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Sninsky: Long-term care - median survival is 10-12y for heart/kidney. 23% cancer, 12% infection, 6% renal failure, 18% graft failure #NGDx15

12:22pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Sninsky: Impact chart - 2.5K heart procedures/y, 25K total patient pools. 16.9k kidney, of 180K total #NGDx15

CEO of CareDx made a comment that they spent $150M for AlloMap over 10y for a $20M return (unclear if that was total or per-year) #NGDx15

12:06pm August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Q:Can these studies be done retrospectively? Diaz: A:Biobanks may just give 50uL, not mL's. Also how sample was collected / stored #NGDx15

11:53am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Diaz: Lower costs are needed, felt more competition needed in the NGS equipment arena to lower costs #NGDx15

11:44am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Q:About cost and effort it takes for studies A:Diaz:It is high risk, the reward for Dx isn't there (but is there for drugs) #NGDx15

11:43am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Pantel: Raises the point of competing alternatives - serum markers (cheapa nd reimbursed) and imaging (expensive) #NGDx15

11:41am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Diaz: Cell-free offers great opportunities, not only in cancer but also transplantation. #NGDx15

11:40am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Diaz: Is there a high-value biomarker? ctDNA provides a way to provide that - equally or even more valuable than a drug. #NGDx15

11:38am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Rosenfeld: 'So much of the underlying science is unknown', but still may provide very good patient benefit nonetheless. #NGDx15

11:36am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Rosenfeld: A field moving fast and attracting a great deal of attention. One challenge is focus - what's the 'must have' app? #NGDx15

11:34am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Pantel: Other points - what survival benefit? Also screening - complex but of great interest, cohorts of at-risk individuals #NGDx15

11:30am August 20th 2015 via Hootsuite

Pantel: Starts with the dynamics of dying tumor cells; ctDNA variable and treatment effect; clinical intervention studies #NGDx15
