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.

Do you test "rescue" drugs as well?

Yes, many of the 13 anticancer drugs we provide predictions for are used for rescue therapy. The drugs we test against are: L-Asparaginase, Mitoxantrone, Vincristine, Vinblastine, Doxorubicin, Tanovea, Chlorambucil, Mechlorethamine, Lomustine, Prednisone, Cyclophosphamide, Melphalan, and Dexamethasone.

How do vets report back the outcomes to feed back into the AI model? Is this something that can be easily done via the Vet portal?

We usually send you an email asking for patient records about 3-6 months after you receive the final ImpriMed report. Once we receive the record, we input the data into the AI Models, it is not yet something that can be submitted on the Vet Portal.

Can the blood sample be frozen or refrigerated before shipping?

The blood sample can be refrigerated before shipping. Please DO NOT freeze the blood sample.
