Abstract 1912
Background
The overall benefit from systemic treatments in advanced STS remains modest despite advances in cancer therapies. PDX models may help as avatars in guiding individualized drug use decisions.
Methods
In this prospective single center trial, fresh tumors from patients (pts) with suspected or recently diagnosed STS were engrafted into immunodeficient mice avatars (TumorGraft; Champions Oncology) and tested against a number of standard or non-licensed agents. PDX drug sensitivity profiles were then compared with real-life treatment outcomes.
Results
Of 18 patients enrolled, 3 patients were excluded (consent withdrawal/non-sarcomas). Patient baseline characteristics are summarized in the table. Rate of engraftment was 40% (6/15 pts), while the median time from biopsy to availability of drug sensitivity profile was 379 days (186 – 421). In patients with available drug sensitivity profile (9 different drugs involving 6 pts), the mouse avatar correctly predicted the drug efficacy or lack thereof of drugs in 7 of 9 drug selection time-points (78%) and in 5 of 6 patients (83%).Table:

Item | Eligible patients (n = 15) | Engrafted patients (n = 6) |
---|---|---|
Median age (range) | 57 (23-76) | 57 (45-69) |
Gender (M:F) | 8:7 | 3:3 |

Conclusions
PDX avatars can accurately predict drug response in STS pts. The rate of engraftment and time taken to produce drug sensitivity profiles are limitations for using this platform in guiding treatment for individual patients in real time. Nonetheless, the high degree of clinical predictability of this PDX platform may offer therapeutic value for personalized oncology approaches.
