About this trial
The ColoPan study evaluates the scientific validity, reproducibility, and predictive performance of the Personalised Functional Profiling (PFP) platform in colorectal cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients. It combines genomic sequencing with in vitro functional drug testing using patient-derived spheroids/organoids.

Treatments tested in this trial
Personalized Functional Profiling
Other interventionThis is an observational study where biological samples are collected to provide Personalized Functional Profiling, an integrated strategy that combines genomic analysis with direct drug response assessments using patient-derived spheroids/organoids (PDSOs)
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
PFP platform's predictive performance
Degree of concordance between drug sensitivity profiles generated by the PFP platform and actual clinical responses observed in patients with CRC and PDAC treated with Standard of Care therapies.
Secondary outcomes
Assessment of the exploratory value of PFP-derived functional profiles
Correlation between the ex vivo drug sensitivity data and observed clinical outcomes
Feasibility and Operational Evaluation of the PFP Platform
Take-on rate of patient samples-defined as the percentage of collected samples that successfully led to PDSO generation and subsequent drug screening.
