Give patients a short course of one of several drug pairs in the gap before surgery and compare what happened inside the tumours. It is the fastest human test of whether a combination does anything.
Window-of-opportunity studies give a drug for 1 to 4 weeks between diagnosis and surgery and compare pre- and post-treatment tissue. Multi-arm windows randomising to several combinations with pharmacodynamic endpoints (proliferation, immune infiltration, target pathway suppression) can rank combinations by biological effect in under a year, before any efficacy trial.
