Every cancer is unique, just like you. Encapsulate is developing technology to test treatments on a sample of your cancer outside your body. This allows us to understand how you will respond to drugs before treatment even begins.
Our mission is to provide your medical team with a “biological preview” of how your own specific tumor will respond to drugs, helping them choose the therapy that works best for you.
A Personal Model of Your Cancer
Using a tiny sample from your standard biopsy, we grow a miniature model of your tumor in our lab. This creates a safe replica that acts just like the cancer inside your body, without the need for additional surgery.
A Safe Testing Ground
Instead of testing powerful drugs on you, we test them on your tumor model. We screen multiple therapies at once to see which ones effectively kill the cancer cells, allowing your doctor to focus on the treatments most likely to help, and avoid those with limited benefit.
Precision, Not Predictions
We move beyond predictions to provide functional proof of what works, sparing you from the side effects of ineffective treatments and giving your team the confidence to move forward with precision and hope.
The Path to Your Personalized Plan
Your Cancer Sample
A small piece of your tumor is collected during a standard biopsy. No extra surgery is needed.
Creating a Miniature Model
In the lab, we grow your tumor cells in our proprietary biochip to create an exact replica of your cancer outside the body.
Testing Treatment Options
We test different therapies on this mini-tumor to see which drugs work best for your biology.
Understanding The Results
Advanced analysis reveals how your cancer responds to each treatment, identifying the most effective option.
Guiding Your Care
Your oncologist receives a clear, personalized report to guide your treatment plan with confidence.
Encapsulate is advancing a future where cancer treatment is a guided path based on each patient’s unique biology. Our work is built on one goal: to help every person receive the care that works best for them.
We are partnering with leading cancer centers to bring this technology to patients everywhere. Sign up to receive updates on our progress and notifications about future clinical availability.
