EURO EWING Consortium – International Clinical Trials to Improve Survival from Ewing Sarcoma (EEC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Ewing Sarcomas (ES) are fatal, rare bone cancers particularly affecting young people. About 60% of patients achieve long term survival with current treatment but there has been no improvement in this proportion for 25 years. Treatment is unsuccessful because chemotherapy fails to prevent the development of, or to effectively treat established, metastases. In addition, of the 600 new cases of ES o ...

Development of very promising humanized therapeutic mAbs efficiently neutralizing a novel immunosuppressive pathway involved in a wide range of cancers (TumAdoR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Studies have demonstrated the importance of CD73 in the spread of cancer. Overexpressed in numerous cancer types, this enzyme leads to the production of high amounts of extracellular Adenosine, creating an immunosuppressive microenvironment, and contributing to tumor proliferation and dissemination. Neutralizing its activity represents a highly potent and innovative therapy.Following on the recent ...

First in Man Novel Anticancer Therapeutic based on Dependence Receptors Concept (HERMIONE-2MAN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

It is usually assumed that transmembrane receptors are inactive unless bound by their respective ligand. Against this dogma, the CLB proposed that some receptors may also be active in the absence of ligand and in this case trigger cell death. These receptors were called dependence receptors (DR) as their expression at the cell surface leads the cell to be dependent for its survival on ligand avail ...

Collaborative Oncological Gene-environment Study (COGS)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

The overarching goal of COGS is to identify individuals with an increased risk of breast, ovary and prostate cancer. Furthermore, we will evaluate the effect of inherited genetic variation on tumour characteristics and clinical outcome. We will do this through quantifying the role of genetic and environmental/lifestyle risk in the largest data set ever generated. In all, we will include over 200,0 ...

Developing and validating disease management evaluation methods for European health care systems (DISMEVAL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Chronic health conditions that impose a heavy burden on society and account for a large share of health care costs. Better prevention and management could potentially decrease costs and improve quality of care and health outcomes. An important means of accomplishing these goals is through the use of disease management (DM) interventions that educate patients about prevention and health management ...

Investigating a novel role of Notch3 as a dependence receptor and its relevance in vivo (NOTCH3DR)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"Cell survival depends on the integration of numerous signals provided by the extracellular environment. Activation of signal transduction by transmembrane receptors is assumed to occur following interaction with a specific ligand. However, some receptors, called dependence receptors (DRs) have been shown to mediate a signal in the absence of ligand. These receptors share the ability to mediate tw ...
