Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary research question is to evaluate the association and predictive value of sensitivity or resistance to chemotherapy of established primary human organoids and the response of patients to the same chemotherapy. In other words, what is the correlation between non-responsiveness of the organoids to a specific compound and recurrence of the disease in adjuvantly treated patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary research questions include 1) association between non-responsiveness of the primary cultures and overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) 2) analysis of the success rate of establishment of colon organoids derived from patient material in a standardized clinical setting 3) We will further explore new intervention approaches that are effectively targeting the distinct subtypes, which will be carried forward into a spectrum of in vitro and in vivo models in order to develop these therapies for future use 4) In addition we will try to define the role of distinct mutations and the regulation of EMT mesenchymal features in colon cancer and to identify key players in this process in order to identify resistance mechanisms that play a role in this subgroup of cancers. | — |
