CareDx to Host Symposium Covering Innovation in Multimodal Surveillance Including AiCAV for Post-Cardiac Transplant Care

CareDx Top-Tier Sponsor for Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting

CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNA) – The Transplant Company™ focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value healthcare solutions for transplant patients and caregivers – today announced it will host a symposium to describe the latest innovations in post-cardiac transplant care at the HFSA (Heart Failure Society of America) Annual Scientific Meeting 2022 taking place in Washington, D.C., September 30 - October 3.

“We look forward to HFSA where we will share more on our AI Heart Platform with AiCAV™, a new offering in development that will help to inform clinicians in their assessment of cardiac allograft vasculopathy risk,” said Reg Seeto, CEO and President of CareDx. “For over two decades, CareDx has been leading innovation to improve outcomes for transplant patients and we are extremely proud to extend this leadership with AiKidney™ and AiCAV.”

“It is gratifying to work with CareDx to advance our shared mission of improving long-term graft and recipient health through the use of HeartCare multimodal assessments which have been transformative in driving much earlier interventions to reduce the risk of organ injury and drug toxicity,” said Claudia Gidea, MD, Medical Director, Heart Transplant and LVAD Program, Mount Sinai Health System. “CareDx has been a driving force in multimodal innovation, and I look forward to attending HFSA and learning more about their latest advances and how they might be incorporated for patients that have increasingly complex comorbidities and for patients with multiorgan transplantation.”

CareDx will host the symposium, “Future of Post-Cardiac Transplant Care: Strategies to Predict and Improve Outcomes,” on Sunday, October 2 from 5:30-7:00pm EST. Presentations and speakers include the following:

  • Heart Transplant Surveillance: Challenge Accepted! Jeremy Kobulnik, MD, Heart Transplant, Medical Director, CareDx
  • Building a Successful Transplant Program: Keys to Success. Shelley Hall, MD, Baylor Scott & White Health
  • Evolving the Surveillance of Heart Transplant Rejection – A Multi-modal Approach. Amit Alam, MD, Baylor Scott & White Health
  • Shifting to Predictive Models for Outcomes in Heart Transplantation. Jon Kobashigawa, MD, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

AlloMap® became commercially available in 2005 and has the distinction of being the only gene-expression profiling test that has been FDA cleared for use in heart transplant patients,1 incorporated in International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation guidelines and covered by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) both individually and for multimodality assessment using AlloSure® donor-derived cell-free DNA. AlloMap is used in more than 90 percent of the nation’s heart transplant centers and in more than 1 in 2 newly transplanted patients.2 In 2020, CareDx launched HeartCare, which includes both AlloMap and AlloSure, to provide a comprehensive view of organ rejection by assessing immune quiescence and graft injury, and currently accounts for over 90 percent of AlloMap use.2
