3. 1st line treatment
Herceptin combination
2nd line treatment
T-DM1
3rd line treatment
Xeloda
4th line treatment
Hormone therapy
Example: HER2+ Breast Cancer
5. The Problem
Multiple drugs target the same cancer subtype
but they don’t work on all patients
Tumors can be resistant due to:
- Genetic resistance/mutation
- Tumor microenvironment
- Interaction with other cancer cells
- Interaction with healthy cells
7. The Solution
Obtain patient tumor sample from biopsy
Grow tumors in 96 well plate using proprietary hydrogel
Test the effectiveness of drugs and combination treatments
Calculate necessary human dosage from test results
Treat the patient

9. Proof of Concept: IC50
Drug Tested: Doxorubicin
Human IC50: 702nM Ourotech IC50: 600~650nM Alginate IC50: 200nM
IC50: industry standard measure of drug resistance
Ourotech can predict this better than the competition
10. Core Technology
Genesis
Hydrogel that mimics conditions inside
patients’ bodies for Stage 3 and 4
breast, colon, and brain cancers
Allows doctors to culture patient tumors
outside the body, create 3D tumor
models and test drug resistance on
patient derived tumors
11. $500/patient
1 order of hydrogel allows doctors to
perform in vitro testing for 1 patient.
Hydrogel is a consumable.
