Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess the ability to culture PDEC organoids from pancreatic duct microbiopsies, to study the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of pancreatitis in vitro. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Asses the phenotype of PDEC organoids derived from pancreatitis patients, as compared to those derived from non-pancreatitis patients, by investigation of: o Genetic makeup o Gene and protein expression o Ion transport o Response to known pancreatitis-inducers and/or ion transport modulators, to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in the disruption of CFTR function in PDECs in pancreatitis and potentially to advance the development of pharmacotherapy for pancreatitis. • Assess the ability of duodenal organoids to mimic key features of ion transport in PDEC organoids, to explore a more readily accessible surrogate model to study the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of pancreatitis in vitro. | — |
