Trial summary

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are reprogrammed from somatic cells that can self-renew indefinitely and produce different types of cells. They provide human model cell lines for orphan drug development. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for the Development of Novel Drug Therapies for Inborn Errors of Metabolism, an International, Multicenter Study

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are reprogrammed from somatic cells that can self-renew indefinitely and produce different types of cells. They provide human model cell lines for orphan drug development. It is the goal of this study to define new cellular disease models for Inborn Erors of Metabolism, as enabling tools for both drug discovery and development.

Being tested
Skin biopsy, Withdraw of blood
Medical subject headings
Metabolism, Inborn Errors

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Skin biopsyOther

    The biopsy will be performed by means of punch biopsy (diameter 2.5 mm) under local anesthesia on a forearm. The skin biopsy will be transferred to sterile cell culture Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) 1% Penicillin 1% Streptomycin 1% Gentamycin medium 10% FBS.

  • Withdraw of bloodOther

    Blood will be collected in:

    • 1 x Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) tube (7.5 ml) - for further leucocytes extraction that are a potential backup for new iPS cell lines generation
    • 1 x Citrate Phosphate Dextrose Adenine (CPDA) tube (8.5 ml) - for EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines generation
    • 1 x Dried Blood Spot DBS-filtercard, called CentoCard® - for quality control confirmatory genetic testing

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Generation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and then differentiate them into neural cells.

    To generate patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and then differentiate them into neural cells, or other specific cell according to the Inborn Error of Metabolism, to study the misfolded proteins in endoplasmic reticulum, their role in untranslated protein response, and possible mechanisms to shuttle the misfolded proteins into lysosomes.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism, run by CENTOGENE GmbH Rostock at 1 site in Pakistan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Peter Bauer, Prof. (+49 30767584871, Peter.Bauer@centogene.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Generation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and then differentiate them into neural cells. (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Feb 2023.
