Clinical Studies by Using Alphacait to Screen Drugs for Advanced Solid Tumor

This is a single-center, open-label, single-arm, non-randomized study designed to evaluate PFS, safety, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (OPR), disease control rate (DCR) and biomarkers of cancer therapy based on Alphacait screening system in subjects with advanced malignant tumor.

Tumor heterogeneity leads to a significant difference in the rate of response to drugs in patients with the same pathological type. According to the information, the current initial effective rate of domestic and foreign chemotherapeutic single drug is no more than 30%, even if treated with repeated medication or replacement treatment program, the responsive rate is generally not more than 10%. This heterogeneity of tumor is the biological basis of precision medicine, and how to predict cancer drug sensitivity is a clinical need to solve the practical problems.

Traditional PDX (patient-derived engraft) technology utilizes patient's fresh tumor tissue (containing tumor cells, stromal cells and vascular components), and inoculates in immunodeficient mice to establish mouse tumor model. This method can better reflect the true biological characteristics of tumor, while the mouse tumor tissue can be continuously passed on, and greatly facilitate tumor biology research. According to the transplant site it can be divided into orthotopic transplantation and ectopic transplantation (mostly subcutaneous or renal transplantation). However, the traditional PDX model has its disadvantage of low success rate and time consuming. Most of the tumor matrix after transplantation can be replaced by the corresponding components in mice, leading to differences in the biological properties of the original tumor.

In view of this imperfection, we developed an optimized drug selection model based on the Alphacait screening system that combines artificial intelligence, synthetic lethal and combinational chemistry, which allows rapid selection of candidates from millions of drug combinations. We want to provide physicians with individualized drug therapy through a new in vitro and in vivo drug-sensitive screening technique, to achieve rapid and accurate selection of cancer clinical treatment.

In order to achieve the two key requirements of tumor tissue culture system in vitro, the establishment of tumor microenvironment we introduced the millimeter-sized microbeads, based on combinatorial chemistry in the culture medium. The surface of the microbeads is coated with small molecules that can specifically absorb high levels of metabolites secreted by the tumor cells into the matrix, thereby mimicking in vivo circumstances. In short, we innovatively applied microbeads technology to solve the inherent limitations of 3D organoid culture - no blood circulation in vitro.

Purpose and design Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS) Secondary endpoints: overall survival (OS); disease control rate (DCR), objective response rate (ORR); safety; blood test and gene test in the aspect of biomarkers. Expectations of exploratory markers for this study include the status of exploratory biomarkers associated with immunohistochemistry (IHC) or quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), a new generation sequencing method (NGS), Nanostring technique and / or other methods to evaluate archived and/or newly acquired tumor tissue, as well as its association with disease status and/or (Including but not limited to somatic mutations and other exploratory markers) according to qRT-PCR and NGS techniques, and to evaluate the relationship between the therapeutic response, the status of the biomarker during exploratory treatment and during treatment, and the evaluation of plasma, serum or whole blood samples (including but not limited to somatic mutations and other exploratory markers) The association of the above markers with disease status and / or therapeutic response.

Research design This is a single-center, open-label, single-arm, non-randomized study designed to evaluate PFS, safety, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (OPR), disease control rate (DCR) and biomarkers of cancer therapy based on the Alphacait screening system in subjects with advanced malignant tumor.
