About this trial

The investigators propose to use clinically validated patient avatar technology ("PDXovo") that can test multiple drugs against patients' cancers to identify the most promising systemic therapy for each individual.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18+.

Metastatic breast cancer irrespective of subtype.

Measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Metastatic disease involving the lymph nodes and/or visceral organs is required.

Disqualifiers

Lack of feasibility to obtain a core biopsy of a metastatic site other than the bone (e.g. a metastatic lesion cannot be safely sampled due to proximity to vasculature).

Inability to provide informed consent.

Trial population

Patients with metastatic breast cancer irrespective of subtype prior to receiving either front-line or subsequent line systemic therapy

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Determine the tumor take rate in PDX

perform a feasibility study to determine the tumor take rate(s) in PDXs generated from needle core biopsies collected from metastatic breast cancer patients

Time frame
7-10 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Compare response rates of PDXs & with that of the patient from whom the PDX was derived

The response of PDXs will be compared to the patient's response to systemic therapy, as measured using the objective response rate.

Time frame
8 to 16 weeks
