Dr. Langone, who serves as the national principal investigator (NPI) for iMDx's ongoing kidney transplant monitoring trial, will discuss the expanding role of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in transplant care, patient management, and the benefits of enabling in-house testing.
In addition, the Company's management team will provide an overview of their kitted strategy, and the uniqueness of their GraftAssure™-branded in-house testing option. The GraftAssure™ family of assays, already available in lab-developed test form and as research-use-only kits, leverages advanced digital PCR (dPCR) technology to deliver highly quantitative, reliable dd-cfDNA results for transplant monitoring. The Company is developing a diagnostics test kit for clinical use, to enable hospitals to run their own tests, in-house.
A live question and answer session will follow the formal presentations. Those who are registered but unable to attend the virtual event live may send questions in advance of the event to [email protected]. Please send your questions at least 12 hours in advance of the event.

About iMDx Transplant Products and Product Candidates in Development
The company's flagship transplant technology quantifies a molecular biomarker known as donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA). The company's scientists in Germany and the U.S. have played a critical role over the past decade in developing the science that helped establish dd-cfDNA as a trusted biomarker of transplant rejection, and iMDx is now commercializing that technology using a market disruptive approach. Its transplant diagnostics under the GraftAssure™ brand include the following:
GraftAssureCore – The company's lab-developed test (LDT), currently reimbursed by CMS and performed at its CLIA-certified laboratory in Nashville. The company is in the process of rebranding its VitaGraft assay (also known as VitaGraft Kidney), which is a lab developed test, under the name GraftAssureCore. For purposes of this press release, references to "GraftAssureCore" shall be deemed to include the test previously marketed as VitaGraft.
GraftAssureIQ – A research-use-only (RUO) kit intended for non-clinical applications and clearly labeled as such.
GraftAssureDx – The in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit currently in development for use in clinical decision-making, which the company intends to submit for FDA authorization.
