European HIV Vaccine Alliance (EHVA): a EU platform for the discovery and evaluation of novel prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine candidates (EHVA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Many HIV vaccine concepts and several efficacy trials have been conducted in the prophylactic and therapeutic fields with limited success. There is an urgent need to develop better vaccines and tools predictive of immunogenicity and of correlates of protection at early stage of vaccine development to mitigate the risks of failure. To address these complex and challenging scientific issues, the Eur ...

Personalised Risk assessment in febrile illness to Optimise Real-life Management across the European Union (PERFORM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

The management of febrile patients is one of the most common and important problems facing healthcare providers. Distinction between bacterial infections and trivial viral infection on clinical grounds is unreliable, and as a result innumerable patients worldwide undergo hospitalization, invasive investigation and are treated with antibiotics for presumed bacterial infection when, in fact, they ar ...

Improving Quality of Care in Europe (IQCE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Improving quality of care has been given too little attention in health economic research in the past although it is the central goal of health care systems in Europe. The proposed ETN on “Improving Quality of Care in Europe (IQCE)” aims to address this gap and has the following aims: 1) Create new evidence and improve existing health economic research in the field of quality of care. Research gap ...

European Prevention of Alzheimer’s Dementia Consortium (EPAD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Background:The secondary prevention of Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) is achievable if we can identify individuals at risk of disease progression defined by biomarker evidence of AD pathology and no or only minimal clinical symptoms and engage them in a standing adaptive clinical trial, of the highest quality, testing multiple interventions. To achieve this, EPAD will also provide the analytical infras ...

Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Network for Safety, Efficacy, Treatment and Quality improvement of care (PIBD-SETQuality)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

"The incidence of paediatric onset Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (PIBD) has risen dramatically in recent decades. Compared to adult forms, PIBD reflects a more severe disease, more often requiring aggressive treatment with immunomodulators, and thereby exposing children to a life-long risk of serious disease and treatment-related adverse events, such as infections and malignancies. Therefore, there ...

Preserving old antibiotics for the future : assessment of clinical efficacy by a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic approach to optimize effectiveness and reduce resistance for off-patent antibiotics (AIDA)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

The AIDA project aims to answer the question of clinical effectiveness and optimal dosing of 5 off-patent antibiotics for infections caused by multiple drug resistant (MDR) bacteria in three randomized controlled clinical trials. In an era of increasing emergence of drug resistance (EDR) and lack of new antibiotics, old off- patent antibiotics are increasingly being prescribed to patients. However ...

Global Research in Paediatrics (GRiP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Paediatric drugs (PD) lack appropriate testing. Most drugs have inadequate information about dosing regimen, dose adjustment and how to administer them. These are longstanding problems that unquestionably require concerted efforts at the international level. Both the US and the EU have introduced paediatric legislation that facilitates participation of children in research and pharmaceutical innov ...

Cognitive and Cerebrovascular Effects Induced by Low Dose Ionising Radiation (CEREBRAD)

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

The major elements of scientific uncertainty in the context of radiation protection policy and of risk assessment for cerebrovascular diseases, set the following key topics (1) the direct assessment of health effects through epidemiological studies of groups exposed to low doses, (2) doses-response and biological effects from different types of radiation and (3) the biological processes in cells a ...

Genomic variations underlying common behavior diseases and cognition trait in human populations (ADAMS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"The subject of the proposal is the search and analysis of genomic variations underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD), alcoholism and schizophrenia – wide-spread diseases in human populations. Schizophrenia and alcoholism are common forms of behavior pathology and disability in adult life. AD is a most common form of dementia in human populations. Though the genomic variations presumably associated wi ...

GENETIC FACTORS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS (GEFOS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Osteoporosis is a common, age-related disease with a strong genetic component. With increasing age of the population, Europe and industrialised countries across the globe are facing a substantial increase in osteoporotic fractures, which account for considerable disease-burden and costs. Early identification and treatment of subjects at risk can help preventing this, and genetic susceptibility al ...

L07 - Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus

Start date: Jul 15, 2009,

This action was prepared after two years of the EMECW implementation. The previous links and meetings and the follow-up meetings and implementation of the first two phases have proved a mutual beneficial experience. These were contributions made by the applicant, the EU partners, and the third country partners. The universities were selected by a number of criteria: these included involvement in t ...
