For patients who already have flow cytometry, can you just run the drug sensitivity profile?

Yes, our AI-driven Drug Response Predictions Only (DRP) service is available starting May 2024. This service focuses solely on the drug prediction aspect, providing you with insights without the flow cytometry and PARR results.

Does the ordering veterinarian have to be an oncologist?

No, any licensed veterinarian can order all ImpriMed's services.

Why should I order ImpriMed services?

ImpriMed offers a unique precision oncology service that helps you to find the best anticancer drugs for your patients. ImpriMed directly tests a panel of commonly used anticancer drugs on your patients’ live cells in our A2LA accredited lab. In addition, we continually collect patient outcomes that are updated via regular follow-up with pet parents. As our database grows, so does the performance of our anticancer drug response predictions and your ability to develop a personalized treatment plan for each pet patient. So, when you order an ImpriMed service, you are actively contributing to our dataset and helping to improve cancer care for your patients and the ImpiMed user community.

How should I discard the expired media we still have?

The media and tubes can be decontaminated in or with 10% bleach and discarded as normal.

What is the simulated dosing for a certain drug? MTD(maximum tolerated dosing) or metronomic?

Our models don't differentiate between different types of dosing, so they can be viewed as outcomes for standard clinical practice. For instance, if MTD is more common in practice, the models may more closely reflect MTD.

Does the veterinarian have to be the one to order the ImpriMed services?

No, any staff member affiliated with a veterinarian can submit or order via our portal so long as the leading veterinarian has an account setup.
