In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.

Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

Bio-Rad launches Annexin V StarBright conjugates

October 2024—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched annexin V conjugated to eight StarBright dyes—SBUV400, SBUV795, SBV440, SBV515, SBV790, SBB675, SBB765, and SBY800. The Annexin V StarBright conjugates support detection of early apoptotic cells by flow cytometry, offering an increased range of fluorophore options, and enable full use of all common laser lines found in flow cytometers such that common viability dye and fluorescent protein emission wavelengths can be avoided. This, combined with the narrow excitation and emission of StarBright dyes, reduces spillover and spreading to provide high-resolution data.

MMQCI releases Spotfire RSP controls

October 2024—Maine Molecular Quality Controls now offers Spotfire RSP Controls for the Biofire Spotfire Respiratory/Sore Throat Panel Mini assay. The controls are intended for use as an external assayed quality control to monitor performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures for the qualitative detection of pathogens on all Biofire Spotfire respiratory assays performed on the Spotfire system. The kit contains six positive and six negative controls in 300-µL tubes. Maine Molecular Quality Controls 207-885-1072

Rybrevant + Lazcluze OK’d for EGFR-mutated NSCLC

October 2024—Johnson & Johnson announced Food and Drug Administration approval of Rybrevant (amivantamab-vmjw) plus Lazcluze (lazertinib) for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.

Adaptimmune gets accelerated approval for Tecelra

October 2024—Adaptimmune Therapeutics announced FDA accelerated approval for Tecelra (afamitresgene autoleucel) for the treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic synovial sarcoma who have received prior chemotherapy, are HLA-A*02:01P, -A*02:02P, -A*02:03P, or -A*02:06P positive, and whose tumor expresses the MAGE-A4 antigen as determined by FDA-approved or -cleared companion diagnostic devices. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent on verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

Roche launches Cobas Respiratory flex test

October 2024—Roche announced the launch of the Cobas Respiratory flex test, the first to use Roche’s novel and proprietary TAGS (temperature-activated generation of signal) technology. Developed by Roche scientists, TAGS technology uses multiplex PCR testing combined with color, temperature, and data processing to identify as many as 15 pathogens in a single PCR test. The Respiratory flex test can detect up to 12 of the most common respiratory viruses, including influenza A and B, respiratory syncytial virus, and SARS-CoV-2. The test runs on the high-throughput Cobas 5800, 6800, and 8800 analyzers.

Pathology Visions 2024—Decision Digital

October 2024—The Digital Pathology Association (DPA) invites you to attend this year’s annual meeting, taking place Nov. 3–5 in Orlando, Fla. The theme for Pathology Visions 2024 is “Decision Digital.”

Thermo Fisher, NCI partner on myeloMATCH umbrella trial

September 2024—Thermo Fisher Scientific is partnering with the National Cancer Institute on the myeloMATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) precision medicine umbrella trial to help accelerate research into new treatments for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. The study involves testing patients’ bone marrow and blood for certain genetic biomarkers using Thermo Fisher’s next-generation sequencing technology so clinical sites can more quickly match patients with an appropriate clinical trial that tests a treatment designed to target specific mutations present in the samples.

Cepheid Xpert HCV gets FDA authorization, waiver

September 2024—Cepheid has received FDA de novo marketing authorization and CLIA waiver approval for its Xpert HCV, the first point-of-care hepatitis C RNA test. The test can accurately detect active HCV infection from individuals at risk and/or with signs and symptoms of HCV infection with or without antibodies to HCV from a capillary blood sample.
