📋 Workflow

Full workflow, products add-to-cart directly
1

Model establishment and grouping

1–3 weeks
Establish tumor model etc., randomize animals reaching tumor criteria into groups
💡 Tip Randomize/blind to reduce bias
⚠️ Caution Verify group baseline uniformity

2

Dosing scheme design

1 day
Set vehicle control, multi-dose and positive control groups, define route and frequency
💡 Tip Multi-dose for dose-response
⚠️ Caution Consistent vehicle and volume

3

Dosing and monitoring

2–6 weeks
Administer per schedule, periodically measure tumor, body weight and relevant endpoints
💡 Tip Regular tumor volume measurement
⚠️ Caution Monitor toxicity and body weight

4

Endpoint and data analysis

1 week
Euthanize, collect tumor/tissue, measure tumor weight, inhibition rate and biomarkers, run statistics
💡 Tip Compute tumor growth inhibition (TGI)
⚠️ Caution Rigorous stats, integrate safety

⚠️ 5 Common Beginner Mistakes

  • Uneven tumor impairs group comparison
  • Wrong dose/route
  • Inconsistent vehicle/volume biases
  • Irregular monitoring incomparable
  • Ignoring safety overestimates efficacy

❓ FAQ

+What is tumor growth inhibition?
Percent inhibition of tumor volume/weight vs control, reflecting antitumor efficacy.
+How to set positive control?
Use a clinically relevant or class-standard validated drug to benchmark model/efficacy.
+How to balance efficacy and toxicity?
Combine dose tolerance, body weight and histopathology to assess the therapeutic window.
