Procedure – VRRX Therapeutics

Process

Obtaining The Biopsy (Tumor)

The biopsy is placed in VRRX's proprietary transport medium and shipped to our lab

Grow And Maintain Biopsy (Tumor)

We grow and maintain a tumor from a cancer patient in a dish just like we would in their body.

Grow the patient's tumor in a manner that replicates the heterogeneity within and between tumors observed in primary cancer patient specimens.

Evaluate Medication Combinations

In a lab setting, we evaluate medication combinations on a patient's own tumor tissue, external to the body.

Which one would work best given the present demands of a particular patient.

Provides therapeutic solutions for the inescapable issue of therapy resistance.
