About the IndiTreat® trial in colorectal cancer
A single-center, phase II trial included patients with metastatic colorectal cancer previously exposed to all standard therapies. A panel of off-label drugs were tested in the IndiTreat® test, and the most effective treatment was provided to the patient.
The primary endpoint of the trial was the fraction of patients with Progression-Free-Survival (PFS) after two months of IndiTreat-guided treatment.
About 2cureX
2cureX has developed the IndiTreat® (Individual Treatment) test. IndiTreat® establishes thousands of 3D micro-tumors (tumoroids) that are similar to the patient’s tumor and identifies the treatment that most effectively kills the patient’s tumor and the treatment to which the patient is resistant. Immediately after the test, the patient can be offered the selected treatment.
The first IndiTreat® products will be in colorectal cancer. Subsequent products will help patients with ovarian cancer and patients with pancreatic cancer.
