The organizations said the test will determine and monitor the status of patients using an innovative blood-based mass spectrometry laboratory assay.

Adaptive said that Q4 clinical testing volume for its ClonoSeq sequencing assay for minimal residual disease increased 66 percent to 3,218 tests.

The study's goal is to measure the success rate of SkylineDx's multiple myeloma test in a real-world setting compared to the hospital's current standard.

The IVD test will adjust for isatuximab-induced interference in immunofixation electrophoresis tests, which can mislead clinicians in interpreting patient response. 

The first phase of the study to evaluate Telo Genomics' telomere analytics as a prognostic solution for multiple myeloma is expected to launch in Q1 2020.

Amgen's latest deal with a pharma company will see its clonoSeq assay used for minimal residual disease testing in a clinical trial for venetoclax.

Following FDA approval last October, Adaptive has now secured Medicare coverage for its NGS-based minimal residual disease assay, ClonoSeq.

In granting de novo premarket authorization to ClonoSeq, the agency established its regulatory expectations for similar tests.
