Translational Applications of MiniPDX: An In Vivo Organoid Assay in New Drug R&D [Webinar Recap]


Topic:

On November 18, our partners at LIDE Biotech presented information how recent innovations in their MiniPDX technology are leading to important applications for researchers today. Danyi Wen described a novel drug efficacy test using Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX) samples to measure drug efficacy and identify therapeutic candidates in personalized oncology treatments. LIDE’s novel MiniPDX is a 7-day, in vivo drug efficacy test for oncology therapeutics. It is the in vivo version of a 3D organoid assay and correlates with traditional PDX by 92%, and with clinical end point at 82%. These high correlations make MiniPDX an effective option to test targeted drugs, chemotherapies, angiogenesis drugs, and more, while demonstrating superior testing times and cost-effectiveness versus traditional PDX. In a clinical setting, MiniPDX, together with next-generation sequencing (NGS), is playing an emerging role in personalized oncology. This technology is important to support researchers in the various challenges they face throughout the drug R&D process.

During the presentation and live Q&A you can expect to learn:

  • How MiniPDX + Omics analysis empower the precision medicine.
  • The pros and cons of functional diagnosis assays (CR, Organoid, MiniPDX, PDX)
  • How to leverage MiniPDX + Omics for the identification of clinical indication
  • The role of K Cell RNAseq + FGI (Functional Genomic Imaging)
  • About the PMed Trial database for AI aided drug discovery
