Program Description
UIP is a critical factor in differentiating IPF from other ILDs and is associated with a poor prognosis in non IPF ILDs. Histopathologic UIP is frequently undetected on HRCT and additional genomic information may be helpful for a more confident and earlier identification of UIP. ILD experts will discuss UIP as a diagnostic entity, and how to incorporate the Envisia Genomic Classifier as part of your workup for a more confident diagnosis and prognosis for patients with ILD, including new data demonstrating how the classifier can predict clinical progression in fibrotic ILD. The Envisia Classifier is performed using a transbronchial biopsy to detect a genomic UIP pattern with a high specificity of 91%.
