Recent Scientific Advances
CareDx’s latest announcement, presented at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2026, highlighted new evidence from its AlloSure® Kidney donor‑derived cell‑free DNA (dd‑cfDNA) platform. The company reported data from a multinational randomized trial and a KOAR registry analysis demonstrating that dd‑cfDNA testing can reduce the reliance on invasive biopsies while maintaining comparable safety outcomes. Notably:
- Rejection Prediction: Elevated dd‑cfDNA levels in patients with borderline or T‑cell‑mediated rejection were associated with a significantly higher risk of graft loss or substantial decline in kidney function.
- Extended Validation: An additional validation study confirmed that both AlloSure Kidney and its enhanced model, AlloSure Plus, reliably predict rejection under updated pathology criteria.
These findings reinforce CareDx’s position as a leader in non‑invasive transplant monitoring and are expected to influence clinical decision‑making in kidney transplant care.
