Using a novel ex-vivo analyses, Rational Therapeutics examines small clusters of cancer cells or microspheroids in their native state. This "functional profiling" takes a snapshot of the cancer's behavior in response to drugs and combinations. By analyzing tumor response in the laboratory, RTI identifies which chemotherapy drugs induce programmed cell death, and also which ones do not. This will determine the most effective therapy for each patient based on his or her individual tumor makeup.
