Brief Summary:
Pear Bio has developed a 3D microtumor assay and computer vision pipeline through which the response of an individual patient's tumor to different anti-cancer regimens can be tested simultaneously ex vivo. This study will recruit patients with primary brain tumors who are due to undergo surgery.
Oncologists will be blinded to treatment response on the Pear Bio tool (the assay will be run in parallel with the patient's treatment). The primary objective of this study is to establish the ex vivo model and confirm whether approved therapies exhibit their intended mechanism of action in the model. Secondary objectives include correlating test results to patient outcomes, where available.
Detailed Description:
This is a multicenter, observational pilot study that aims to determine the feasibility of using the Pear Bio tool in patients with primary solid brain tumors.
Patients who are due to undergo clinically-mandated surgery will provide informed consent to donate excess tissue and a 40mL blood sample.
The samples will be tested on the Pear Bio tool while the patient receives their standard of care treatment. As such, for this study, the result from the Pear Bio tool will not be used to inform the choice of treatment and the treating oncologist will be blinded to the assay results.
The investigators will examine drug mechanism of action (MoA), differentiated response, and correlate that with outcomes seen in the patients treated in routine clinical practice.
