Female cancer prediction using cervical omics to individualise screening and prevention (FORECEE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,

While prevention of most female specific cancers (ovarian, breast, endometrial) has not progressed substantially in recent years, significant progress has been made with cervical cancer due to accessibility of the cell of origin (cervical smear) and availability of a test for the causal agent (human papilloma virus); together these enable identification of high risk individuals and interventions t ...

Biomarker Development for Postoperative Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly (BioCog)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

Postoperative delirium (POD) is characterized by the progressive deterioration of sensory/cognitive function after surgery with incidences of up to 30-80%. It is frequently followed by postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) which tends to persist over time. In elderly patients, POCD resembles chronic dementia and appears to accelerate the cognitive decline in Alzheimer dementia. POD is strongl ...

Clinical trial of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASC) in the treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthritis (ADIPOA2)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an incurable disease that has evaded pharmacological interference, biologic therapy or surgical intervention to prevent disease progression. Currently, OA is designated the 11th highest contributor (of 291 diseases) of global disability. In the absence of effective treatment options, cellular therapies using mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as potential can ...

Development of Coordination Mechanisms During Different Kinds of Emergencies (COncORDE)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The threat of mass casualty incidents or medical surges to healthcare systems has always been present. Preparing essential parts of the healthcare system such as hospitals and their partners to prevent, respond, and rapidly recover from these threats is critical for protecting and securing the entire health infrastructure. Large-scale disaster situations causing mass casualty incidents are charact ...

European collaborative project on Targeted therapy in renal cell cancer: genetic and tumor-related biomarkers for response and toxicity (EuroTARGET)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Each year more than 63,000 new cases of kidney cancer are diagnosed in the European Union. Approx. 50% of all patients have metastasized renal cell cancer (mRCC) at presentation or develop metastases during follow-up. 5-year relative survival of mRCC has been extremely poor: between 5 and 10%. In the past few years, so-called targeted therapies that suppress angiogenesis have changed the clinical ...

Vitamin D And LIfestyle Intervention for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Prevention (DALI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Europe is facing a rapidly growing threat from Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), which is undoubtedly associated with an unhealthy diet and a more sedentary lifestyle. Evidence is accumulating that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may be playing a role in this process. Thus it provides a significant opportunity for preventing future T2D. Not only is GDM prevalence on the rise, but intrauterine ex ...
