    Microsampling assays for immunosuppressant monitoring showed three- to fourfold higher imprecision across 14 laboratories than conventional whole-blood analysis, with coefficients of variation of 11.7 to 18.6 percent versus 3.9 to 4.9 percent. In a patient specimen, this analytical scatter produced a different clinical decision, proving that current microsampling practice lacks the standardisation required for safe home-based therapeutic drug monitoring.

    The study developed and validated a LC-MS/MS assay for imatinib and its metabolite using volumetric absorptive microsampling, enabling reliable home blood collection by patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia. Therapeutic drug concentrations measured from VAMS were comparable across adherence groups, supporting the use of VAMS for routine decentralised monitoring of imatinib therapy.

    Room temperature storage of dried blood on VAMS devices caused significant losses in 13 of 21 cytokine analytes after five months compared to storage at 4 °C. Storing devices at 4 °C or colder preserved the majority of tested cytokines, demonstrating that cold storage is essential for reliable longitudinal cytokine profiling in decentralised studies.

    The review found that volumetric absorptive microsampling can reliably assay tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid for therapeutic drug monitoring, though correction factors are often required to meet regulatory agreement standards. This supports the use of microsampling for decentralised trials and dose optimisation in transplant recipients.

    This review shows that patient-centric Mitra microsampling devices accurately collect fixed blood volumes for immunosuppressant monitoring, reducing haematocrit bias compared to classic dried blood spots. While ideal for paediatric adherence, wider decentralised adoption requires further multicentre validation and cross-laboratory harmonisation to address current analytical and cost limitations.

    Neoteryx Mitra sticks and Noviplex cards agreed more closely with venous plasma and gave more repeatable N-glycoprofiling results than dried blood spots, with relative deviance from plasma of 0.092 and 0.069 respectively compared with 0.674 for dried blood spots, and coefficient of variation values of 7.098 per cent and 4.831 per cent against 14.305 per cent for dried blood spots. The findings support these self-sampling devices for decentralised glycoanalysis, though the authors call for larger cohort validation.

    Finger-prick VAMS sampling gives results that agree well with venous blood for paracetamol and three of its four metabolites, offering a less burdensome method for pharmacokinetic studies in obese and non-obese patients. Concentrations of APAP-cysteine in dried blood require careful interpretation, as this metabolite showed the largest differences between capillary and venous samples.

    The study validated UPLC-MS/MS methods for both dried blood spot and volumetric absorptive microsampling to quantify tamoxifen and three metabolites in breast cancer patients, finding that VAMS extraction recovery was slightly higher than DBS while both showed satisfactory recovery with low variability, samples were stable for two months, and mean patient concentrations did not differ significantly between the two methods. This supports decentralised therapeutic drug monitoring of tamoxifen using either microsampling format.

    VAMS coupled with LC-MS/MS showed good correlation with conventional serum sampling for monoclonal antibody pharmacokinetics in rhesus monkeys, but a subsequent clinical study revealed that EDTA anticoagulant in standard and quality control samples caused anomalous internal standard responses in patient fingerstick samples, compromising accuracy. The authors recommend specific best practices during method development and validation to detect such anticoagulant effects early before deploying VAMS in clinical studies.

    Two feasibility studies assessed low-volume blood sampling for therapeutic drug monitoring. In patients receiving an anti-A therapeutic, drug levels were measured from finger-prick whole blood collected with Neoteryx Mitra and from capillary plasma collected with TASSO OnDemand, and compared with venipuncture samples. The work outlines practical considerations for adopting these patient-centric microsampling methods in decentralised trials and clinical care.
