Molecular Profiling & In Vivo drug testing in pPDX and organoid cultures

Molecular Profiling & In Vivo drug testing in pPDX and organoid cultures: Molecular profiling of host tumour sample and pPDX will be performed and analyzed by an expert panel. In vitro organoid culture generation may also be performed if sufficient fresh tissue is available. Matched treatment recommendation based on profiling and in vivo pPDX drug testing results will be made, if available. This recommendation will be communicated to the primary oncologist.

Study summary

By obtaining clinical specimens from participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), colorectal cancer (CRC), high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), and other select tumor types to establish and profile as freshly implanted tumors in mice, the aim of this study is to identify agents with predicted activity in the host patient while also potentially providing them with personalized cancer treatment options
