Why Vivan exists
Vivan Therapeutics tests cancer drugs on animal models created from a patient's own tumor tissue, using patient-derived models such as PDX. It is for patients who want evidence about how drugs perform against their specific tumor biology, not just tumors like theirs. Testing candidates outside the body gives patients and their doctors more information to weigh when choosing a therapy.
