About clonoSEQ
With state-of-the-art MRD assessment, what gets measured gets managed®
Sensitivity
Detect MRD at low levels that correlate with patient outcomes: a single cancer cell among a million healthy cells, given sufficient sample input. This offers prognostic value to clinicians as they assess how patients respond to treatment.2,3
Specificity
Precisely identify and quantify tracked malignant cells. Once the DNA sequences of the B- or T-cell receptors associated with these cancer cells are identified, the level of each specific sequence can be assessed in subsequent MRD samples.2
Standardization
Ensure consistency and reproducibility of results for patients over time. clonoSEQ has undergone extensive analytical and clinical validation, fulfilling requirements for FDA clearance for in vitro diagnostic use.2,3

How clonoSEQ works
Precisely identifying MRD at the DNA sequence level
Swipe to view more
Each B- or T-cell receptor is coded by unique DNA sequences made of 3 segments—Variable, Diversity, and Joining—that serve as DNA “barcodes” that can be used to track malignant cells.2,4

Malignant B or T cells* may remain in a patient’s body during and after treatment, which may eventually cause recurrence.2

clonoSEQ identifies and quantifies unique B- and T-cell receptors associated with the malignant clone; these MRD results are a direct measure of the tumor.5,6

clonoSEQ® is available as an FDA-cleared in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test service provided by Adaptive Biotechnologies to detect minimal residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow from patients with multiple myeloma or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and blood or bone marrow from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL Clonality (ID) Tests will also produce an IGHV status result, which is provided as a CLIA-validated laboratory developed test (LDT) but which has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. Additionally, clonoSEQ is available for use in other lymphoid cancers and specimen types as a CLIA-validated LDT.
