Paediatric European Risperidone Studies (PERS)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

"Second-generation antipsychotics are increasingly being prescribed to children and adolescents. Their use, however, is mostly off-label, and adequate and sufficient data about efficacy and particular safety are lacking. This proposal focuses on two indications, the use of risperidone in children and adolescents with conduct disorder who are not mentally retarded, and the use of risperidone in ado ...

Chemotherapy of neuroblastoma (Neuroblastoma Chemo)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Background/Main objective: Neuroblastoma, a solid tumor of the childhood, is the cause of 15% of deaths by cancer in children under the age of 15. Survival of advanced stage neuroblastoma patients remains poor (around 30%), because these tumors rapidly develop resistance to conventional treatments. The poor penetration of chemotherapy agents to the target tumor cells is considered one of the main ...

Identification and validation of novel drug targets in Gram-negative bacteria by global search: a trans-system approach (AntiPathoGN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

Multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections are increasing at an alarming pace in both developing and developed countries and in both community and nosocomial settings. The few antimicrobial agents that have been launched during the last decade (e.g. linezolid, daptomycin) have a good activity against Gram-positive bacteria. However, multi-drug-resistant bacteria are often found among the Gram-negat ...

Genetic study of Common Hereditary Bowel Cancers in Hispania and the Americas (CHIBCHA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

"Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common in both sexes, has relatively poor outcome and has no major avoidable risk factor. Recent studies have shown that common inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can increase cancer risk. We have shown CRC risk to be associated with SNPs on chromosomes 8q24.21, 15q14 and 8q21. These variants account for

An Intelligent Platform for Personalized Remote Monitoring of the Cardiac Patients with Electronic Implant Devices (iCARDEA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

Over the last decade, there has been an exponential growth in the number of cardiac implantable devices, in their electronic and software complexity widening their function and application. However, due to their limited processing capabilities restricted by their size, CIEDs need to be supported with software running on the data centers. Currently, the data center processing is standalone with the ...

Collaborative European effort to Develop Diabetes Diagnostics (CEED3)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"CEED3 (Collaborative European Effort to Develop Diabetes Diagnostics) has as its central objective, the development of diagnostic tools to differentiate specific subgroups of diabetic patients to allow individualisation of patient care. CEED3 will achieve this by integrating basic science findings from animal models, cell studies, and large scale genetic studies with clinical observations and tes ...

Clinical Continuity by Integrated Care (Homecare)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

Our comprehensive approach to clinical continuity by integrated care (IC) across the secondary-primary interface departs from a preliminary literature review selecting frequent chronic conditions (CC) as stroke, COPD and HF as our focus areas. However, within each of these areas IC is a small activity, still, requiring more basic research. As IC for these different CC are based on the same patient ...

European Network of Bipolar Research Expert Centres (ENBREC)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"Bipolar (BP) disorder is characterized by recurrent manic and depressive episodes, affecting more than 1% of the EU population. Delay in the diagnosis (based only on clinical features), uncertainties in the definition of episodes and on the treatment strategy best adapted to each patient lead to devastating socio-economic, professional and family consequences that be reverted by optimized diagnos ...

Reflecting the Positive diveRsities of European prIorities for reSearch and Measurement in end of life cAre (PRISMA)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

"There is little coordination in undertaking research in end of life care. This is due to lack of agreement on what constitutes “end of life” cancer care, no information on public or clinical priorities for achieving a “good death” in a culturally diverse Europe, few appropriate measures of quality, and a lack of established best practice. “PRISMA” aims to deliver an integrated programme to coordi ...
