ONCOLOGY MODEL

Orthotopic Tumor Models

Documented orthotopic platforms include human xenograft and syngeneic tumor models across hematologic, lung, pancreatic, liver, brain, colorectal, and breast cancer settings.

Tumor line, implantation site, imaging strategy, host background, treatment schedule, and tissue outputs are confirmed per program.

MODEL OVERVIEW

Organ-site tumor modeling for oncology programs that need anatomical context.

Orthotopic tumor studies place the model in a disease-relevant anatomical site and can incorporate luciferase-enabled lines, imaging, tissue collection, and project-specific pharmacology endpoints where appropriate.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

What this model can support.

01

Organ-site efficacy

Evaluate treatment response in anatomically matched tumor settings using project-specific intervention schedules.

02

Imaging-enabled studies

Luciferase-enabled tumor lines can support longitudinal imaging where documented and appropriate to the model.

03

Tissue-level pharmacology

Collect primary tumor and other protocol-defined tissues for pathology, biomarkers, or downstream molecular analysis.

04

PK/PD integration

Combine systemic or tissue exposure with pharmacodynamic and efficacy readouts when required.

COMMON READOUTS

Readouts selected around the study question.

Endpoints are finalized with the selected model, species or strain, treatment design, and partner laboratory before study placement.

Tumor burden

Protocol-defined measurements of tumor burden or treatment response.

Imaging

Longitudinal in vivo imaging for compatible luciferase-enabled models.

Tissue analysis

Histology, IHC, molecular, or other downstream analysis on collected tissues.

Exposure

Plasma, tumor, or selected tissue exposure when incorporated into the study.

Exact tumor line, host strain, implantation technique, imaging workflow, endpoints, and timeline are confirmed during technical review.

STUDY DESIGN

Key factors aligned before execution.

  • Tumor type and cell line
  • Orthotopic implantation site
  • Host background
  • Imaging compatibility
  • Treatment route and schedule
  • Required tissue and PK/PD outputs
