European Regulatory Science on Tobacco:Policy implementation to reduce lung diseases (EUREST-PLUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Smoking and other forms of tobacco consumption are considered the single most important cause of preventable morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. Efforts to reduce the devastation of tobacco-related deaths and illness in the EU consist of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), and the ongoing implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). The main objective of EUR ...

REspiratory Science Promoted by International Research Exchanges 2 (RESPIRE 2)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

"The ERS, the main scientific society in the respiratory field in Europe, promotes research into respiratory diseases in children and adults, including asthma, COPD, cysticfibrosis, lung cancer, and sleep-related respiratory disorders. Respiratory diseases impose a global burden affecting hundreds of millions of people. Since1998, the ERS has operated a successful programme of transnational exchan ...

Airway Disease PRedicting Outcomes through Patient Specific Computational Modelling (AirPROM)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

The airways diseases asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affect over 400 million people world-wide and cause considerable morbidity and mortality. Airways disease costs the European Union in excess of €56 billion per annum. Current therapies are inadequate and we do not have sufficient tools to predict disease progression or response to current or future therapies. Our consortium, Air ...

Physical Activity as a Crucial Patient Reported Outcome in COPD (PRO- ACTIVE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2016,

Physical activity (PA) is essential in maintaining optimal health in chronic diseases, including COPD.More physically active patients have less hospital admissions and better survival. Validated physicalactivity monitors have become available in recent years, and together with patient report of symptomsand distress of physical (in)activity, this may form a potent new Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) ...

Unbiased Biomarkers for the Prediction of Respiratory Disease Outcomes (U-BIOPRED)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

RationaleThe inability of pre-clinical studies to predict clinical efficacy is a major bottleneck in drug development. In severe asthma this bottleneck results from: a lack of useful and validated biomarkers, underperforming pre-clinical models, inadequate and incomplete sub-phenotyping, and insufficient disease understanding.HypothesisThe use of biomarker profiles comprised of various types of hi ...

Markers for emphysema versus airway disease in COPD (EvA)

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

COPD is characterized by emphysema (destruction of the lung alveoli) and airway disease (inflammation and thickening of the bronchial wall) both of which lead to airway obstruction. These two features co-exist in most patients but some patients present with only emphysema (E) or only airway disease (A). The aim of the project is to identify markers specific to E and A of COPD. Our hypothesis is th ...
