Before any academic compound gets money for pre-trial studies, it would have to show activity in a standard panel of patient-derived tumour models run by an independent centre, so weak candidates are stopped early.
A central facility maintains a standardised, molecularly characterised panel of patient-derived organoids and xenografts across cancer types (drawing on EurOPDX, the NCI Patient-Derived Models Repository and Human Cancer Models Initiative collections) and tests every candidate nominated for IND-enabling funding in a blinded, pre-registered protocol with clinically relevant exposure. Results are published regardless of outcome. Funding for toxicology and CMC is contingent on passing pre-agreed activity criteria. This replaces the variable, investigator-run efficacy evidence that currently supports translational decisions.
