Countermeasures to Radiation Induced Cardiomyopathy

Last Published: 07/30/21 01:05:34 PM (Central)

Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: Edwards, John

Short Title: Radiation-induced Cardiomyopathy Countermeasures

Responsible HRP Element: Space Radiation

Collaborating Org(s):

Funding Status: Active - Currently funded and in progress

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:

Aim 1. To compare and contrast the efficacy of countermeasures to High-LET exposure

in cultured heart cells.

Aim 2: Compare and contrast the efficacy of druggable molecules in the long-term

management in an animal model of high-LET radiation induced cardiomyopathy.

Resources (None Listed)

Deliverables (2)

Category: Countermeasure
Subcategory: Clinical Procedure/Prescription

Description:

1. Identification of several countermeasures which are highly efficacious within the

parameters of the testing protocols.

2. Identification of useful countermeasures that already have FDA approval would place

them at a countermeasure readiness level of 6.

Category: Risk Characterization, Quantification
Subcategory: Evidence or Risk Characterization

Description:

Going forward we do have the technical expertise to do carry out these protocols in a

large animal model such as dog or pig. However the timeframe could prove costly. I

would recommend testing the countermeasures during flight operations using C.

elegans or mice as the next step to move the countermeasures to level 8 and

technology readiness level 7.

A much clearer understanding of the long-term consequences of high-LET on the

pathophysiology of heart failure. The broader implication is that what we learn in this

organ system may apply to other organ systems.
