LEUKEMIA XENOGRAFT MODELS:


A: Liquid Tumor Model
  1. Pretreat animals on day -2 and day -1 only with 150 mg/kg cyclophosphamide i.p.
  2. Inject animals intraveneously in the lateral tail vein with 1e7 leukemia cells such as Acute Myelogenous leukemia (AML) in PBS on Day 0
  3. Allow leukemia cells to expand in the animal for 21 days
  4. Treat animals with test compound on days 21-61. Drug will be delivered PO, IP or SC depending on the results from client's PK experiments
  5. Terminate experiment up to 90 days
B: Solid Tumor Model
  1. Inject animals subcutaneously in the right flank with 5e6 cancer cells in PBS/matrigel on Day 0
  2. Allow tumor cells to expand in the animal until they produce a solid tumor of 125-250 mm3.
  3. Treat animals with test compound up to 30 days. Drug will be delivered PO, IP or SC depending on the results from client's PK experiments
