Construction and management model practice of a patient-derived xenograft model platform / 中华医学科研管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:In the era of precision medicine, there is an urgent need for a preclinical evaluation method with a high cost-benefit ratio to improve the effectiveness and value of clinical trials.Methods:Taking clinical needs and scientific research purposes as the starting point, the platform focused on four aspects of project management, information retrieval, quality control, and practical application, and introduced in detail the management practice of building a patient-derived xenograft model platform system.Results:With the support of the institutional system, quality control system, and information system, the patient-derived xenograft model platform was formed with standardization as the core. With the assistance of this platform and scientific research management, as of December 2021, there are 48 animal models of patient-derived xenograft in the database. In total of 6 SCI scientific and technological articles were published using these animal models, with a total impact factor of 36.77 (the highest single article was 7.333). In total of 6 direct industrial projects, 6 clinical trial-related projects, and 4 NSFC projects were approved with a total research fund of 1.5 million yuan.Conclusions:Continuous construction and improvement of the existing platform will help promote the development of basic research translation and clinical research in the field of oncology, and accelerate the development of new oncological diagnosis and treatment models, thereby benefiting more patients.
