Advancing cancer immunotherapy: Unveiling the potential of PD-L1-targeted IFN-α2a DutaFlip molecule through patient-derived tumor explants

Key challenges in Oncology

Development of preclinical models that fully represent the human immunity and the complexity of human tumors including all hallmarks of cancer.

Choosing the most translationally-relevant model to study the mode of action (MoA) of a new drug is one of the real difficulties for cancer research.

Patient derived tumor explants (PTEs)

  • Obtained from patients during surgery or biopsy
  • Include primary tumors, metastases, or recurrent tumors, providing a diverse representation of disease stages
  • Recapitulate the features of a patient tumor and its tumor microenvironment (TME)
  • Cell-cell interactions and tumor microenvironment architecture
  • Metabolic features
