Sebastian Sandler's questions to Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp (ADPT) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Sebastian Sandler, on behalf of JPMorgan Chase & Co., asked about the impact of the recent NCCN guideline update on multiple myeloma ordering patterns and how unique patient IDs translate to future MRD testing. He also inquired about the MRD Pharma backlog conversion to revenue and any changes in pharma customer behavior.
Answer
CCO Susan Bobulsky stated the NCCN update is a supportive tailwind, reinforcing their message in the community, but it's too early to attribute specific volume increases to it. CFO Kyle Piskel noted the pharma backlog conversion profile is largely unchanged. CEO Chad Robins added that global regulatory support for MRD as an endpoint (ODAC, CHMP) is growing, making them bullish on the pharma opportunity with minimal impact from other macro factors.
