Personalized Patient Derived Xenograft (pPDX) Modeling to Test Drug Response in Matching Host (NCT02732860)
Prospective Evaluation of Freshly Implanted Cancers in Mice to Test Drug Response in Matching Host
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
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
