The aPAP ClearPath™ Testing Program
Request a GM-CSF Ab Test Kit through the aPAP ClearPath™ Testing Program
For healthcare providers only. Patients should consult their provider to request testing.
The aPAP ClearPath™ testing program is a no charge, third-party testing program sponsored by Savara Inc. It was established to reduce barriers to GM-CSF autoantibody testing and to provide healthcare professionals and patients with additional knowledge about how testing may be used as a diagnostic resource.
Once you suspect pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) may be causing your patient’s symptoms, you may request the GM-CSF autoantibody test at no charge. The test is provided without billing the patient, their insurance, or your practice. This simple, accurate, and noninvasive autoantibody blood test may help you confirm or rule out autoimmune PAP (aPAP).1,2
This test is designed to provide results as quantitative anti–GM-CSF concentrations. It comes in a compact package with clear, step-by-step instructions.
Eligibility Criteria
Fatigue
You can order the test in 1 of 2 forms*:
Serum-based test:
Blood is drawn through venipuncture into a blood tube, then spun to isolate serum.
Dried Blood Spot test:
Blood is drawn via finger prick, then dropped directly onto a collection card.
As the ordering physician, you will receive quantitative test results via fax and/or secure email within 7 business days of the completed test arriving at the lab. A high concentration of GM-CSF autoantibodies means your patient has aPAP.
Mobile Phlebotomy Service:
If a serum blood draw is not possible in your office, you can order a dried blood spot test or may be able to utilize a mobile phlebotomy service. This service allows patients to have their blood drawn in the comfort of their homes. For more information, contact aPAP@trilliumbio.com or call 1-888-261-2812, option 3.
*aPAP ClearPath testing program is not yet offered in New York State.

Patient Rights Regarding PHI

Right to Request Limits on Uses and Disclosures of your PHI
Patients each have the right to request that Trillium limit: 1) how we use and disclose Patient PHI for treatment, payment, and health care operations activities; or 2) our disclosure of PHI to individuals involved in Patient care or payment for Patient care. Trillium will consider Patient’s request but is not required to agree to it unless the requested restriction involves a disclosure that is not required by law to a health plan for payment or health care operations purposes and not for treatment, and Patient have paid for the service in full out of pocket.

Right to Request Confidential Communications
Each Patient has the right to request that Trillium communicate with you about your PHI at an alternative address or by an alternative means. Trillium will accommodate reasonable requests.
Right to See and Receive Copies of Patient PHI
Each Patient and their personal representative have the right to access PHI consisting of their laboratory test results or reports ordered by their physician.
Within 30 days after our receipt of request from the Patient, the Patient will receive a copy of the completed laboratory report from Trillium unless an exception applies. Exceptions include a determination by a licensed health care professional that the access requested is reasonably likely to endanger the life or safety of the Patient or another person, and our inability to provide access to the PHI within 30 days, in which case we may extend the response time for an additional 30 days if we provide the Patient with a written statement of the reasons for the delay and the date by which access will be provided. The Patient has the right to access and receive Patient PHI in an electronic format if it is readily producible in such a format. To request a copy of your PHI:
- Ask for a courtesy copy when a Patient visits a Trillium patient service center for specimen collection.

If a Patient requests an accounting of disclosures of PHI that were made for purposes other than treatment, payment, or health care operations, the list will include disclosures made in the past six years, unless a Patient requests a shorter period of disclosures. If a Patient requests an accounting of disclosures of PHI that were made for purposes of treatment, payment, or health care operations, the list will include only those disclosures made in the past three years for which an accounting is required by law, unless you request a shorter period of disclosures.
Right to Correct or Update your PHI
