Patient Derived Xenograft Minimum Information

Other names: PDX-MI

Patients-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) mouse models are an important oncology research platform to study tumor evolution, drug response and personalised medicine approaches. We identified critical attributes to accurately describe PDX production and usage and proposed the PDX-Minimum information (PDX-MI) standard, which defines the minimal information for describing the clinical attributes of a patient’s tumor, the processes of implantation and passaging of tumors in a host mouse strain, quality assurance methods, and the use PDX models in cancer research. PDX-MI standard is the result of the collaborative work from more than 50 worldwide experts over 30 worldwide institutions.
