Pancreatic Cancer Drug Development

Accelerate Pancreatic Cancer Therapeutic Discovery

Industry-leading prostate cancer PDX models, matched patient-derived organoids, and ex vivo tissue platforms—designed to overcome treatment resistance and de-risk KRAS and PDAC programs. Request a consultation to discuss custom study design.

Why Partner With Crown Bioscience for Pancreatic Cancer Drug Development?

PDAC is defined by a dense desmoplastic stroma, profound immunosuppression, and near-universal KRAS oncogene addiction — features that have historically made it one of the most difficult tumor types to model and treat. Standard cell-line xenografts fail to recapitulate the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) that drives resistance to chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors alike.

Translational failure rates remain high. The path to better outcomes begins with choosing the right model.

The Most Comprehensive Pancreatic Cancer Preclinical Platform

Crown Bioscience offers an end-to-end suite of pancreatic cancer models — from rapid in vitro screening to fully immune-competent in vivo studies — all backed by deep genomic annotation and expert scientific support.

Drawing on Crown Bioscience’s deep pancreatic cancer expertise, including a portfolio of 100+ translational models and daraxonrasib benchmarking data, our speakers discuss how to bridge the gap between early preclinical discovery and more confident therapeutic decision-making.

Rekha Pal, PhD and Marten Hornsveld, PhD highlight how integrating pancreatic cancer organoids and in vivo models enables:

  • Rapid Translational Screening: Utilizing patient-derived pancreatic cancer organoids to evaluate therapeutic sensitivity, support responder analysis, and prioritize candidates in a biologically relevant in vitro setting.
  • Predictive In Vivo Validation: Leveraging pancreatic cancer in vivo models to assess efficacy, response durability, resistance mechanisms, and biomarker-linked outcomes in complex physiological contexts.
  • Actionable Benchmarking Data: Showcasing daraxonrasib benchmarking data and Crown Bioscience’s broad pancreatic cancer portfolio to help researchers compare modalities, refine model selection, and advance KRAS-targeted, ADC, and combination strategies with greater confidence.
