For Late-Stage Patients and their Oncologists looking for effective Treatments Now

Lung cancers are particularly challenging diseases that often go undetected until they reach an advanced stage. For those grappling with late-stage lung cancers, standard treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy may have limited effectiveness.

However, alternative therapeutic options can enhance patients' quality of life, extend survival, and instill hope: ex-vivo cancer drug testing is an increasingly practical approach for individuals seeking effective late-stage ovarian cancer treatments.

Watch the video or keep reading to learn how Ex-Vivo Cancer Drug Testing can evaluate a broad range of FDA-approved drug options and assess their potential for treating your unique cancer.

How it works

Late-stage cancer patients have typically failed ALL of the highly effective drugs given to earlier patients. They are then faced with a long list of less effective drugs, typically with population response rates of around 20%.

But for each patient, it's VERY likely that, “hidden” within that long list of low-effectiveness drugs, a few drugs will be HIGHLY EFFECTIVE for that unique patient.

At Travera, we have solved this problem. We have developed a new method for directly testing a late-stage patient's LIVE cancer cells against long lists of drugs to find any personalized, effective drugs.

In early studies of over 50 cancer patients, the predictive accuracy of our test is around 80%, across virtually all cancers, including ovarian cancer.

This is a game changer for the millions of late-stage cancer patients seeking to add quality months or years to their lives. And for oncologists, our unique test enables them to deliver the right drug to the right patient at the right time.
