European Paediatric Oncology Off-Patent Medicines Consortium (EPOC)

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

Cancer chemotherapy has a key role in the successful treatment of a number of childhood cancers. Nevertheless, at least 20% of patients are not cured by current therapies and a significant number experience debilitating toxicities. Given the high cure rates and potential life-span of survivors of childhood cancer, it is particularly important to minimize the impact of potential chronic toxicities. ...

No Pain during infancy by adapting off-patent medicines (NeoOpioid)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Preterm and newborn infant may suffer from pain in the same way as adults. They are even more sensitive to pain due to immaturity of endogenous modulation. Thus, they should have the same human right to be alleviated from pain. The overall aim of this project is to assess effects and safety of opioid treatment in very preterm up to full term newborn infants in relation to pharmacokinetics predisp ...

Advanced Fault Diagnosis for Safer Flight Guidance and Control (ADDSAFE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"Recent airliner accident and incident statistics show that about 16% of the accidents between 1993 and 2007 can be attributed to Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), caused by a piloting mistake, technical malfunctions or unusual upsets due to external disturbances. Loss of flight control remains the second largest accident category after Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accounting for 23% of ...

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 ...
