Generation of Cancer Antigen-Specific T-cells From Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) for Research and Potential Future Therapy
In Brief
An observational study for Gastrointestinal Cancers and 4 related conditions. Terminated early, enrolled 98 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary
Background: Researchers want to test if certain cells can be re-programmed into stem cells. Stem cells can keep reproducing for a long time. Cells made by stem cells can be turned into different types of cells. These include cancer-fighting cells, skin cells, etc. The stem cells generated in this study will be used to make specific tumor-fighting cells that can recognize different types of mutations in cancer cells. They may also help identify new tumor mutations that may not have been identified yet. Objectives: To test if a certain type of tumor-fighting cells can be re-programmed into stem cells. Eligibility: Participants in another Surgery Branch protocol who are at least 16 years old Design: Participants already gave samples of blood and/or tumor tissue in the other protocol. They do not need to come back to the clinic or give any other samples. Participants will give consent for their samples to be used in this study. Researchers will obtain cells from the samples. They will grow those cells in the lab. They will create stem cells from them. Researchers will do genetic tests on the samples. Most tests will not show important health results. But if they do, the participant will be invited to talk to a genetic counselor and get more detailed testing to confirm the results. Some of the samples and results will be stored indefinitely. They may be used in future research. No personal information will be stored with them. ...
