Human Tumor Clonogenic Assay

The human tumor clonogenic assay (HTCA) was evaluated in 407 fresh samples of breast cancer from 288 patients. Seventy samples were inadequate for testing. Adequate in vitro growth for drug testing (greater than 30 colonies/plate) was obtained in 91 (27%) of the 337 viable samples, inadequate growth for drug evaluation (5 to 30 colonies/plate) in 17%, and no colony formation (less than 5 colonies/plate) in 56%. Operationally defining a greater than or equal to 50% inhibition of colony formation as in vitro drug sensitivity, the in vitro response rates to 12 anticancer drugs tested against ten to 36 different cancers (arranged in decreasing order according to the number of tests performed) were as follows: doxorubicin (14%), bisantrene (54%), vinblastine (33%), mitomycin (36%), interferon clone A (23%), 5-fluorouracil (20%), methotrexate (17%), leukocyte interferon (33%), mitoxantrone (42%), cyclophosphamide (25%), m-AMSA (16%), and melphalan (10%). Among 25 patients receiving single-agent therapy, there were ten (59%) of 17 with in vitro sensitivity who responded; resistance was correctly predicted in nine patients (100%), P = .01. Among 34 patients treated with combination chemotherapy, seven (50%) of 14 with in vitro sensitivity responded, and resistance was predicted in 13 (65%) of 20 patients. Difficulties in using the HTCA in breast cancer (including small specimen size, difficulties in disaggregation, and inadequacy of growth) will require additional research. Nonetheless, the assay appears to detect in vitro activity as well as resistance of a variety of anticancer agents and appears to predict clinical responsiveness to standard as well as some investigational single agents.

Human Tumor Clonogenic Assay

The Human Tumor Clonogenic Assay (HTCA) was used in patients with unknown primary carcinomas (UPC) to evaluate chemosensitivity in vitro for this patient group and to possibly aid in the selection of chemotherapy for clinical trial. A total of 178 drug assays including 15 standard and 13 experimental anti-cancer drugs were performed on tumor cells from 19 patients. A median of six drugs were studied in vitro per patient. Sensitivity was noted in only 3.4% of the studies (six drug assays). The marked in vitro pattern of resistance observed with UPC correlates well with the known clinical experience with this entity. Ten patients were evaluable for clinical correlation of response between in vitro and in vivo sensitivity; however, many received drug combinations and not all the drugs had been tested in vitro. One of six evaluable patients exhibiting in vitro sensitivity and one of four with in vitro resistance achieved remission. Additional single-agent in vitro/in vivo correlations will be needed to establish whether HTCA will have any future impact in the treatment of patients with UPC. A more promising application of HTCA for UPC would appear to be as an aid in screening and discovery of new drugs of potentially greater efficacy for this resistant tumor category.
