UCL-Xenog: Patient-derived Xenograft Models of Tumor From Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators want to have a collection of fresh primary or recurrent tumor tissue for establishment of patients-derived xenografts in order to:
generate a biobank of in vivo patient xenografts representing the different subgroups of tumors for head and neck cancer
-
perform genetic and transcriptional profiling of the primary, metastatic tumors and xenograft tumors
-
evaluate the efficacy of new targeted agents, whether or not in combination with standard treatment options
-
evaluate biomarkers of drug sensitivity
-
study primary and secondary (acquired) resistance in these models

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Identification of the biomarkers of new cancer therapies for head and neck cancer on the patient-derived xenografts with immunohistochemistry (KI67) on FFPE (fixation followed by paraffin embedding) slides [10 years]
Identification of the biomarkers of new cancer therapies for head and neck
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Characterization of the biomarkers of new cancer therapies for head and neck cancer on the patient-derived xenografts with genetic techniques [10 years]
Characterization of the biomarkers of new cancer therapies for head and neck cancer on the patient-derived xenografts with genetic techniques
