Using Induced-Pluripotent Stem Cells to Model Cancer Therapy-Related Adverse Events
Mayo Clinic
Summary
This study is being done to find out if patient blood samples can be used to perform individualized modeling of cancer therapy-related side effects.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC's) from patients receiving cancer treatment. II. Differentiate patient iPSC's into cardiomyocytes and/or neurons or other cell types that may be relevant to modeling cancer therapy-related adverse effects, such as cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity. III. Use patient specific iPSC-derived cells to: IIIa. Model cancer therapy-related toxicities; IIIb. Better understand the mechanisms of toxicities; IIIc. Determine if patient specific genetic variants are causative of toxicities; IIId. Screen novel protective therapies for can…
