|---|---|
| Spheroid culture is performed using breast cancer tissue derived from patient tissues, and cultured cells are used for drug sensitivity testing. A small number of three-dimensional cultured cells will be used in the MT Cell Viability Assay, which utilizes the luciferase reaction and allows measurement over time. The IC50 of each drug will be calculated, and the primary endpoint will be analyzed in relation to the pCR in preoperative chemotherapy patients and the CB in postoperative relapse patients. Specifically, the IC50 threshold for each drug that yields pCR or CB will be determined from the data of 200 planned cases and used to predict treatment efficacy. If more than one drug is used, the model that best predicts the treatment effect is determined based on the IC50 of a single drug or a combination of multiple drugs (training data set). We intend to conduct clinical trials (validation data set) in the future using the models determined here. | — |
