“CareDx is 100% committed to driving transplant innovation and this is especially important for pediatric patients who require decades of graft function. We’ve helped advance the field by being included in the first pediatric publications demonstrating the value of non-invasive monitoring with AlloSure® in heart and kidney, and AlloMap® in heart,” said Reg Seeto, CEO and President of CareDx. “We are very proud to once again be one of the lead sponsors for the 12th Congress of the IPTA – an organization at the forefront of advancing science and technology for pediatric patients.”

CareDx will host a symposium highlighting the company’s latest developments in pediatric heart and kidney transplant patient care. The symposium, “Paradigm Shifts in Pediatric Surveillance Testing: AlloSure and AlloMap in Action” will be held on Sunday, March 26, from 12:30 – 1:30pm CDT. Speakers include:

  • Raja S. Dandamudi, MD, Assistant Professor, Pediatric Nephrology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis
  • Brian D. Feingold, MD, MS, FAHA, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Clinical and Translational Science, Medical Director, Heart Failure and Transplantation Programs, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh
  • Dechu Puliyanda, MD, Professor, Director Pediatric Nephrology, Medical Director Children’s Health Center, Cedars-Sinai, Pediatrics
  • Daniel Ranch, MD, MBA, Clinical Associate Professor, Pediatric Nephrologist in the Department of Pediatrics, UT Health San Antonio

“I look forward to sharing the results from our center Washington University/St. Louis children’s hospital research with AlloSure at the 12th annual Congress of the IPTA during my presentation, Longitudinal Evaluation of AlloSure in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation,” said Raja S. Dandamudi, MD, Assistant Professor, Pediatric Nephrology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis. “As a result of this study, pediatric kidney transplant physicians now have longitudinal data on the clinical utility of using AlloSure donor-derived cell-free DNA as a molecular biomarker to detect acute T-cell-mediated rejection and for the management of BK virus infection.”
