New Test

 

AML MRD Flow Panel

NeoGenomics is proud to announce a new Flow assay for the assessment of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML MRD Flow Panel can be used as a prognostic/predictive assay for risk assessment and treatment decision making and to monitor for relapse. Sensitivity meets or exceeds ELN-defined requirements for flow-based AML MRD testing and supports tailoring of treatment plans that may lead to better patient outcomes.

AML MRD Flow Panel is a 20-biomarker panel containing unique markers that can detect aberrant overexpression in leukemic myeloblasts to complement classic markers recommended by ELN MRD Working Party.

  • Markers: CD7, CD11b, CD13, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD2, CD33, CD34, CD38, CD4, CD45, CD56, CD64, CD65, CD87, CD117, CD371, HLA-DR

Test Details:

  • Specimen Requirements: Bone marrow aspirate: 2-3 mL, first pull. EDTA preferred. Sodium heparin tube acceptable.
  • Turnaround Time (TAT): 1-2 days
  • CPT Codes*: 88184x1, 88185x19. Add 88189x1 for global.

Test Update

 

FOLR1 Sponsored Testing Program for Ovarian Cancer

NeoGenomics Laboratories is partnered with ImmunoGen, now part of AbbVie, on a FOLR1 testing program to provide testing for folate receptor alpha (FRα), an actionable biomarker in ovarian cancer, to eligible patients through December 29, 2024.

This testing program was designed to help reduce barriers to IHC testing for novel biomarkers and aid oncologists in making informed treatment decisions for their ovarian cancer patients.

Testing for FRα expression is performed using the FDA-approved immunohistochemistry (IHC) companion diagnostic (CDx)—VENTANA FOLR1 (FOLR1-2.1) RxDx Assay. This CDx may indicate eligibility for treatment with the associated biomarker-driven therapy.

To learn more about this program, the patient eligibility criteria, and to download the test requisition form, please visit our webpage.
