Tissue Biorepositories: Do You Really Want to Know How the Sausage is Made? • David A. August • Professor of Surgery • The Cancer Institute of New Jersey • UMDNJ / Robert Wood Johnson Medical School The Cancer Institute of New Jersey
CINJ “SNP” Protocol • Goal:to identify genetic variants as markers for • risk of developing breast cancer • earlier age of diagnosis • outcomes • 1168 patients consented • 980 genomic DNAs isolated • Demographics to date from chart review • Collaborative studies with: • Dr. Arnold J. Levine • Dr. Vassiliki Karantza-Wadsworth • Dr. Shridar Ganesan • Dr. Bruce Haffty • Dr. Mark Brenneman
Clinical Basic Types of Tissue Support • Tissue banking (de- identified:discarded, annotated) • Protocol specific support • Translational research • Bench support
Front End / Back End • Clinical Processes (collectors) • Protocol development • Regulatory approval • Subject consent • Tissue acquisition • Clinical analyses • Initial processing • Clinical annotation • Linkage/de-identification • Tissue storage • Acquisition QA • Longitudinal annotation • Technical Processes (repository, recipients) • Tissue storage • Quality assurance • Sample preparation • Sample distribution • Database management • End user support
Clinical Uses • Prognosis • Risk assessment • Pharmacodynamics (Phase O trials) • “Fingerprinting” • Inheritance analysis • Etiology • Response assessment • Response prediction
The Worker Bees • Director • Pathologist • Database development/management/support • Manager • Technicians (histo, retrieval, IHC, TMA) • Data managers, research nurses, chart abstracters • Regulatory manager • Protocol support (writer, “shepherd”, consultant) • Consent docents
