Testing treatments on mini tumors for breast cancer that has spread
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special lab technique (called organoids) to grow a mini version of your tumor from a biopsy sample. Researchers will test different treatments on these mini-tumors to see which one might work best for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastases).
- The metastases are either in the brain or in other organs (like liver, lung, or bone).
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the metastasis or a biopsy (a small sample taken for testing).
- You are 18 years old or older.

This study is testing whether it's possible to grow a miniature model of your brain tumor (called an organoid) from a small sample taken during surgery. The goal is to better understand your tumor's specific makeup, which might help guide future treatment decisions.
This trial tests a personalized approach to cancer treatment. Doctors will grow a ‘mini-tumor’ from a biopsy of your cancer in the lab to help find the best therapy for you. It is for people with advanced breast cancer that has not responded well to standard treatments.
This study is testing a new way to understand your breast cancer by growing tiny tumor samples (called organoids) in the lab. It will help researchers learn more about your cancer type and could lead to better treatments.
This study uses a sample of your tumor to grow a mini-tumor in the lab (called an organoid) to see which chemotherapy might work best for you. This could help reduce the chance of cancer coming back after treatment.
This trial uses a lab-grown mini-tumor (organoid) from your biopsy to test which chemotherapy drugs work best for your cancer before you have surgery. The goal is to personalize your treatment and improve outcomes.
This trial studies tumor samples from men with breast cancer to grow mini tumors (organoids) in the lab. The goal is to better understand male breast cancer and find personalized treatments.
