Cell and gene therapy based strategies to correct the bleeding phenotype in Hemophilia A (CGT hemophilia A)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

Currently, haemophilia A cannot be cured. To prevent major bleeding episodes in haemophilia, human Factor VIII (FVIII) protein must be frequently administered as prophylaxis or on demand. This treatment is complicated by its high cost and development of antibodies that neutralize FVIII activity in 20 to 30% of the patients. Therefore, permanent solutions in the form of cell and gene therapy are ve ...

The MEtabolic Road to DIAstolic Heart Failure (MEDIA)

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

More than 50% of heart failure (HF) patients present without a major deficit of left ventricular (LV) systolic function and are presumed to suffer from diastolic HF (DHF) because diastolic LV distensibility is usually impaired in these patients. The vast majority (~80%) of DHF patients is exposed to metabolic risk factors. The MEDIA consortium therefore investigates:1) how metabolic derangements c ...
