知識產權 利用與臨床接軌之人源性腫瘤動物模型加速癌症新藥之開發 The use of clinical relevance patient-derived xenograft animal models to accelerate the discovery of cancer therapeutic drugs
在癌症新藥研發的過程中,能上市進入臨床使用的抗癌藥物,皆通過極為嚴格的臨床前藥理與毒理等各項評估。在過去的四十多年來,腫瘤醫學界建立許多基礎研究方法與系統生物學的研發策略,作為臨床前活體內、外化合物抗癌活性的測試模型;如從90年代開始,美國國家癌症研究所(National Cancer Institute, NCI)NCI-60藥物開發計畫,以60個不同類型的人類癌細胞株為對象,進行活體外活性分析,並利用這些細胞株建立腫瘤異種移植動物模型(cell line-derived xenograft, CDX);因此,「NCI-60 panel」是目前研究得最詳細、且用來作癌症新藥研發最具代表性的模型1。
