Biopsy Program
Providing GBM Patients More Personalized Care
The Ivy Center announced the initiation of a ‘Liquid Biopsy’ program to obtain real-time insights into how a patient’s brain tumor is responding to experimental treatment. Integrating this technique within the Phase 0 clinical trial workflow provides doctors with another cutting-edge tool in the fight against brain cancer.

Phase 0 Trials

Ivy Phase 0 clinical trials allow patients to receive individualized treatment in a fraction of the time and costs associated with traditional drug research and development.

Benefits of an Ivy Phase 0 Trial

Saves Valuable Time

Time tracking icon

Drug effects on a patient’s tumor are directly measured within 10 days of surgery. If an experimental regimen is ineffective, the patient can transition to another type of therapy without losing time or options.

Personalizes Treatment

Genetic testing with unprecedented depth allows us to match tumors to new combination drug regimens. Due to the speed in which our trials open and close, we are able to test more new therapies than any other clinical trials program. 

Tests New Drugs

Medicine Icon

Every Ivy Center drug combination tests new mechanisms never before trialed in brain tumor patients.  As a nonprofit organization, there is no conflict of interest or hidden agenda in selecting which drugs to include in our program.
