This coverage applies to SLT patients in the surveillance setting.<\/p>\n<p>\nSLT patients make up ~20% of all U.S. lung transplants<sup>1<\/sup>. These patients are at an increased risk for acute rejection and also for complications from invasive procedures like biopsies due to common factors including advanced age, frailty, comorbidities, and functional dependency on a single lung. This creates an increased need for non-invasive monitoring solutions, like Prospera Lung.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe performance of Prospera Lung for SLT patients was published earlier this year from the Single Lung Allograft Monitoring (a.k.a. SLAM) study, the largest study of commercial donor-derived cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) tests in SLT to-date. The data demonstrated excellent performance for Prospera in distinguishing rejection, infection, and chronic lung allograft disease (CLAD) from stable patients with an AUC-ROC of 0.85. These results are on par with Prospera\u2019s outstanding performance in double-lung transplants, and can ultimately provide confidence to rule out rejection, highlighted by a sensitivity of 77.8%, specificity of 84.6%, and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 96.8%.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are pleased to be the first and only dd-cfDNA test validated and approved by CMS for SLT patients,\u201d said David Ross, MD, senior medical director for lung transplant at Natera. \u201cLung transplant survival is among the worst compared to other organs, even more so for SLT patients where the median survival is just 4.7 years post-transplant and with higher risk for both acute and chronic rejection. It is critical to patient care that SLT patients have the option for non-invasive monitoring to avoid biopsy complications in these challenging cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSince the initial validation and launch in 2022, the Prospera Lung test first received CMS coverage for double-lung transplant patients in 2023 and is now used by more than half of lung transplant centers in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Prospera<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D3503937-1%26h%3D4084705604%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fc212.net%252Fc%252Flink%252F%253Ft%253D0%2526l%253Den%2526o%253D3345471-1%2526h%253D3703581015%2526u%253Dhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fc212.net%25252Fc%25252Flink%25252F%25253Ft%25253D0%252526l%25253Den%252526o%25253D3275317-1%252526h%25253D3653399993%252526u%25253Dhttps%2525253A%2525252F%2525252Fc212.net%2525252Fc%2525252Flink%2525252F%2525253Ft%2525253D0%25252526l%2525253Den%25252526o%2525253D3186138-1%25252526h%2525253D2206992313%25252526u%2525253Dhttps%252525253A%252525252F%252525252Fc212.net%252525252Fc%252525252Flink%252525252F%252525253Ft%252525253D0%2525252526l%252525253Den%2525252526o%252525253D2915665-1%2525252526h%252525253D173193744%2525252526u%252525253Dhttps%25252525253A%25252525252F%25252525252Fc212.net%25252525252Fc%25252525252Flink%25252525252F%25252525253Ft%25252525253D0%252525252526l%25252525253Den%252525252526o%25252525253D2676832-1%252525252526h%25252525253D1459754544%252525252526u%25252525253Dhttps%2525252525253A%2525252525252F%2525252525252Fwww.natera.com%2525252525252Fprospera%252525252526a%25252525253D%252525252525C2%252525252525A0Prospera%2525252526a%252525253DProspera%25252526a%2525253DProspera%252526a%25253DProspera%2526a%253DProspera%26a%3DProspera&amp;esheet=54158763&amp;newsitemid=20241127854263&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Prospera&amp;index=2&amp;md5=2655ae181f421fadc328892695d3932e\">Prospera<\/a>\u2122 test leverages Natera\u2019s core single-nucleotide (SNP)-based massively multiplexed PCR (mmPCR) technology to identify allograft rejection non-invasively and with high precision and accuracy, without the need for prior donor or recipient genotyping. The test works by measuring the fraction of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in the recipient\u2019s blood. It may be used by physicians considering the diagnosis of active rejection, helping to rule in or out this condition when evaluating the need for diagnostic testing or the results of an invasive biopsy. The Prospera test has been clinically and analytically validated for performance regardless of donor relatedness, rejection type, and clinical presentation.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Natera<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nNatera\u2122 is a global leader in cell-free DNA and genetic testing, dedicated to oncology, women\u2019s health, and organ health.
