Toward Clinical Implementation of a Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling-Based Method for Dasatinib and Imatinib Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Verougstraete, N.; Mazure, D.; Stove, C. P.
Ther Drug Monit | 2025

This clinical validation study compared VAMS with conventional blood matrices for dasatinib and imatinib therapeutic drug monitoring. VAMS was a viable alternative for imatinib and may support longitudinal dasatinib monitoring, providing a foundation for future patient-collected home samples.

Clinical Application of Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Oral Targeted Anticancer Drugs

Meertens, M.; Kerssemakers, N.; de Vries, N.; Rosing, H.; Steeghs, N.; Beijnen, J. H.; Huitema, A. D. R.
Ther Drug Monit | 2025

This clinical study evaluated VAMS conversion methods for therapeutic monitoring of oral targeted anticancer drugs and their metabolites in 153 patients. Seven of ten analytes met the acceptance criteria, patients responded positively to home sampling, and the authors recommended independent validation before routine use.

Development and Clinical Validation of a Volumetric Absorptive Capillary Microsampling Method for Quantification of Mycophenolic Acid and Mycophenolic Acid Glucuronide in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Drevland, O. M.; Skadberg, E.; Tran, L. A.; Asberg, A.; Midtvedt, K.; Robertsen, I.
Ther Drug Monit | 2025

Researchers developed and clinically validated a VAMS–LC-MS/MS method for measuring mycophenolic acid and its glucuronide metabolite in kidney transplant recipients. Corrected microsample results closely agreed with plasma measurements, remained stable for three months at room temperature, and supported patient self-sampling.

Performance and feasibility of self-microsampling of capillary blood and saliva for serological testing of SARS-CoV-2

Morales, I.; Bueggeln, J.; Denzler, A.; Sonntag-Buck, V.; Borner, K.; Chlanda, P.; Koeppel, L.; Deckert, A.; Barnighausen, T.; Knop, M.; Denkinger, C. M.
PLoS One | 2025

This study compared self- and professionally collected VAMS capillary blood and saliva with venous serum for SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing. Capillary-blood results showed excellent agreement and positive user experience, while the authors noted that additional self-sampling training may improve reliability.

Determination of Fluconazole in Children in Small Blood Volumes Using Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling (VAMS) and Isocratic High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) Detection

Zimbelmann, F.; Groll, A. H.; Hempel, G.
Pharmaceutics | 2025

Researchers developed and validated a simple Mitra VAMS–HPLC-UV method for fluconazole in 10 µL blood samples from pediatric transplant patients. More than 200 clinical samples were successfully analyzed, supporting a lower-cost approach to therapeutic monitoring.

A Novel LC-MS/MS Method for the Measurement of Elexacaftor, Tezacaftor and Ivacaftor in Plasma, Dried Plasma Spot (DPS) and Whole Blood in Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling (VAMS) Devices

Pigliasco, F.; Cafaro, A.; Barco, S.; Cresta, F.; Casciaro, R.; Pedemonte, N.; Mattioli, F.; Castellani, C.; Cangemi, G.
Pharmaceutics | 2025

Researchers developed a rapid LC-MS/MS method for three cystic-fibrosis medicines in plasma, dried plasma spots, and VAMS whole blood. Plasma and dried-plasma results were interchangeable, while hematocrit-based correction was needed to estimate plasma-equivalent concentrations from VAMS.

Evolving infectious disease dynamics shape school-based intervention effectiveness

Perez-Saez, J.; Bellon, M.; Lessler, J.; Berthelot, J.; Hodcroft, E. B.; Michielin, G.; Pennacchio, F.; Lamour, J.; Laubscher, F.; L'Huillier, A. G.; Posfay-Barbe, K. M.; Maerkl, S. J.; Guessous, I.; Azman, A. S.; Eckerle, I.; Stringhini, S.; Lorthe, E.; S. EROCoV-Schools study group
Nat Commun | 2025

Researchers integrated epidemiological and genetic data from longitudinal school surveillance to model how SARS-CoV-2 transmission changed across variant periods. Rising community-acquired infection progressively reduced the potential impact of school-based interventions, supporting strategies that adapt to the broader epidemiological context.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Everolimus Using Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling and Quantitative Dried Blood Spot Methods with LC-MS/MS in Adult Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: An Analytical and Clinical Comparative Study

Kocur, A.; Olkowski, B.; Moczulski, M.; Miszewska-Szyszkowska, D.; Rostkowska, O. M.; Polak, K.; Korniluk, K.; Baczkowska, T.; Durlik, M.; Pawinski, T.
Molecules | 2025

This study analytically and clinically validated LC-MS/MS measurement of everolimus in venous blood, Mitra VAMS, and Capitainer microsamples from adult transplant recipients. Both microsampling devices agreed well with the venous reference and showed negligible hematocrit effects, supporting decentralized therapeutic monitoring.

LC-MS-Based Global Metabolic Profiles of Alternative Blood Specimens Collected by Microsampling

Thaitumu, M. N.; De Sa, E. Silva D. M.; Louail, P.; Rainer, J.; Avgerinou, G.; Petridou, A.; Mougios, V.; Theodoridis, G.; Gika, H.
Metabolites | 2025

Researchers compared global metabolomic profiles from Mitra, Capitainer, Whatman-card, and conventional plasma samples. Mitra and Capitainer provided rich and often precise metabolic information, although device-specific and metabolite-specific differences require evaluation for each application.

Validation of at-home blood sampling for large scale, cost effective serological analysis for anti-viral antibody responses

Mayer, S. C.; Stevenson, J. K.; Gandhapudi, S.; Woodward, J. G.
J Immunol Methods | 2025

This study validated Mitra at-home sampling for large-scale measurement of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Capillary VAMS results correlated strongly with venous serum and remained stable for months at room temperature, supporting community surveillance and vaccine studies.
