Paraplegia Prevention in Aortic Aneurysm Repair by Thoracoabdominal Staging with ‘Minimally-Invasive Segmental Artery Coil-Embolization’: A Randomized Controlled Multicentre Trial (PAPA-ARTIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

Chronic aortic aneurysms are permanent and localized dilations of the aorta that remain asymptomatic for long periods of time but continue to increase in diameter before they eventually rupture. Left untreated, the patients’ prognosis is dismal, since the internal bleeding of the rupture brings about sudden death. Although successful treatment cures the disease, the risky procedures can result in ...

Clinical study in Parkinson's disease with two unique goals: 1) Proof-of-concept of CDNF protein for disease modification; 2) Validation of clinically tested device for intracerebral drug delivery (TreatER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

The main focus of TreatER is conducting a randomized, placebo-controlled, first-in-human, proof-of-concept, safety and efficacy study of intracerebrally administered CDNF protein therapy in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), using a neurosurgically implanted Drug Delivery System (DDS), which will also be clinically validated in the study. Thus the TreatER project has two independent goals, ei ...

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 a prophylactic treatment for the prevention of fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) (PROFNAIT)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2018,

Objective--The project aims to develop an anti HPA-1a immunoglobulin (IgG), Tromplate® that can prevent post delivery immunisation of the mother against the Human Platelet Antigen-1a (HPA-1a). This prophylactic treatment will prevent Fetal/Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in the fetus/newborn in subsequent pregnancies.FNAIT--FNAIT is a rare but potentially serious condition which affec ...

Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in EUrope (EU-CERT-ICD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

An estimated 500.000 sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) occur each year in the European Union. Patients at risk for SCD may benefit from prophylactic treatment with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). ICD implantations have dramatically increased in recent years leading to multi-billion Euros of costs with significant regional disparities across Europe. Information on risks, benefits and cos ...

European multicentre, randomised, phase III clinical trial of hypothermia plus best medical treatment versus best medical treatment alone for acute ischaemic stroke (EuroHYP-1)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The consortium led by UKER and EuroHYP, the European Stroke Research Network for Hypothermia, proposes a large, multicentre clinical trial which will assess mild hypothermia as a novel treatment for ischemic stroke.Stroke is the second cause of death world-wide and the second cause of lost disability-adjusted life years in high-income countries. Stroke incidence rises exponentially with age, so it ...

NEURAL TRANSPLANTATION IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE (TRANSEURO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

There are currently no cures for Parkinson's disease (PD) but one of the most effective reparative therapies in patients to date has been with allotransplants of dopamine (DA) neuroblasts obtained from fetal ventral mesencephalic (VM) tissue. However, this cell transplantation approach has given inconsistent results, with some patients doing extremely well and coming off anti-PD medication for yea ...

Phase II clinical trial of PDGF-BB for the neurological regeneration and recovery in Parkinson´s disease (NRT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"The goal of this project is to perform a European phase II clinical trial to demonstrate that PDGF-BB acts as a unique regenerative therapy for Parkinson’s Disease (PD), aimed at reversing the course of the disease, by promotion of endogenous brain repair mechanisms. Current pharmacological therapies for PD carry side-effects and become less effective as the disease progresses. This causes immen ...

Europe against Cancer: Optimisation of the Use of Registries for Scientific Excellence in research (EUROCOURSE)

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

"EUROCOURSE will tackle fragmentation in the funding and usage of cancer registries in Europe. It will do so by exploring ways to link and integrate national/regional programmes aimed at supporting cancer registries and research carried out using registry data. At the same time EUROCOURSE is seeking to optimize the use of cancer registration data for the amelioration of cancer control and the stre ...

The Development of a Next Generation Probiotic Supplement for Treatment and Prevention of Antibiotic Associated Diarrhoea (Qualvivo)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

Stress, medications, global travel and an imbalanced diet are having an increasingly adverse effect on the health of the European population derived from weakened immune systems. This manifests itself in the occurrence of serious ailments such as acute infectious diarrhoea (AID), ulcerative colitis (UC), travellers’ diarrhoea (TD) and antibiotic associated diarrhoea (AAD). Specifically, in the cas ...
