Data will be presented from clinical trials and real-world evidence studies using Adaptive’s next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based clonoSEQ® Assay for MRD assessment across a range of hematologic cancers. “The clinical trial and real-world evidence that is being presented this year at ASCO and EHA showcase clonoSEQ’s utility as the gold standard in MRD assessment both to inform clinical decision making and help assess deep responses to novel therapeutics in patients with hematologic cancers,” said Nitin Sood, chief commercial officer, MRD, at Adaptive Biotechnologies. “Adaptive has demonstrated the value of NGS-MRD assessment in hematologic cancers. The use of MRD assessment in clinical trials and practice continues to mount, and we are pleased to see new data generated that attest to its benefit for physicians, patients and researchers alike.” MRD can be used to assess depth of response and detect early signs of relapse prior to clinical symptoms. This assessment is performed as a series of tests in clinical trials and throughout a patient’s cancer journey. The clonoSEQ Assay is the first and only NGS-MRD test authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for MRD assessment in certain hematologic malignancies. The assay is also offered as a CLIA-validated laboratory developed test for assessing MRD in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The clinical findings presented at both ASCO and EHA highli...
