CareDx presented new AlloSure Kidney data at ASN Kidney Week 2026, headlined by a KOAR registry analysis showing dd-cfDNA levels ≥1% were linked to a nearly 3-fold higher risk of allograft loss or ≥30% kidney function decline in patients with borderline rejection or TCMR (P=0.002). In a 332-patient randomized trial run by Paris Transplant Group, dd-cfDNA-guided monitoring cut biopsies by 49% with similar safety and kidney-function outcomes versus surveillance biopsy.
