Is this test available outside the US? Could I order the test?

Because we require live, fresh, cancer cells within 24-48 hours of doing a fine needle aspiration, we are ONLY offering our services in North America at this time. If you already had an experience of sending biopsy samples to the US in 24-48 hours, we could discuss the work further. Please contact info@imprimedicine.com.

What is the successful prediction rate for this test?

Positive predictive values for our AI-based drug response predictions are 80% or higher.

Does the ordering veterinarian have to be an oncologist?

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

How does ImpriMed predict drug responses?

Our predictions are made by artificial intelligence (AI) models trained to predict clinical outcomes from patient data inputs. Clinical outcomes collected from oncologists include reports of progressive disease, stable disease, partial response, and complete response. Patient data used as inputs by the AI models include readings from our live-cell drug sensitivity assay, flow cytometry, PARR, and patient information.Models are re-trained periodically to incorporate new data and refine performance.

Are shipping costs extra?

Yes, we charge next-day air (overnight shipping). As our state-of-the-art laboratory is in Mountain View, CA, the distance a sample travels to our lab will directly influence the shipping fee applied. Please contact sales@imprimedicine.com for the precise shipping fee for your area.
