European Medicines Research Training Network (EMTRAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

EMTRAIN is an essential element for the success of the IMI Education & Training (E&T) Call Topics in Europe (current and future). It will establish a pan-European platform of excellence for education and training covering the whole life-cycle of medicines from basic research through clinical development to pharmaco-vigilance. It will underpin the successful delivery of the current and future IMI-f ...

International study for treatment of childhood relapsed ALL 2010 with standard therapy, systematic integration of new agents, and establishment of standardized diagnostic and research (INTREALL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Though survival of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has improved, relapse remains a leading cause of mortality in childhood cancer. Given the rarity of the disease, only a large international cooperative group can recruit sufficient patients for prospective studies with specific questions in biologic subgroups. Under the umbrella of the I-BFM SG all relevant mainly European study ...

Treat Infections in NeoNates 2 - Evaluation of an infective agent (azithromycin) for the treatment of infections in preterm and term neonates (TINN2)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"The aim of TINN2 is to evaluate azithromycin, included in the EMEA priority list of the therapeutic areas that need specific drug evaluation in preterm and term neonates. Azithromycin is a macrolid antibiotic with anti-inflammatory properties active against Ureaplasma. It might be effective in reducing the severity of bronhopulmonary disease in which Ureaplasma infection and inflammation play a r ...

Massive Digital sequencing by binary DNA (Digital Sequencing)

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

DNA sequencing costs have fallen more than 50-fold over the past decade, driven part by tools, technology and process improvements made during the Human Genome Project. However, it still costs around $10 million to sequence 3 billion base pairs - the amount of DNA found in the genomes of humans and other mammals. 1st generation sequencing platforms, which are based upon capillary electrophoresis ...

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 ...

Safety and Appropriateness of Growth hormone treatments in Europe (SAGhE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Recombinant growth hormone (GH) has been used since 1985. Current indications for GH use in children include GH deficiency and an increasing number of conditions where childhood short stature is not primarily due to deficient GH secretion. Approximately 40 000 children in the EU are treated with daily injections of GH. The efficacy of GH to increase adult height is undisputed in children with seve ...

Investigation of the molecular pathogenesis and pathophysiology of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) (EuroDSD)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) constitute a group of rare to very rare mostly heritable disorders affecting the genito-urinary tract and in most instances also the endocrine-reproductive system. We hypothesize that stringent and stepwise analysis of cases with DSD will result in a systematic and reliable discovery of DSD-relevant biochemical, genetic and functional profiles, allowing for the d ...

Development of targeted DNA-Chips for High Throughput Diagnosis of NeuroMuscular Disorders (NMD-Chip)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Inherited Neuromuscular Diseases (NMD) form a large group of diseases including Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMD), Congenital Muscular Dystrophies (CMD), Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies (DMD/BMD), or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). Within a given disease group genetic and clinical heterogeneity is the hallmark. The precise diagnostic of neuromuscular diseases thus requires extens ...

European initiative to improve knowledge, treatment and survival of haemophagocytic syndromes in children (CureHLH)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2011,

Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and life-threatening inherited immune disorder of early childhood characterised by an uncontrolled immune response. Three disease causing genes have been identified in about half of the patients. Diagnosis is difficult, pathophysiology poorly understood, and treatment unsatisfactory with about 40% of the children dying from treatment failure or t ...

A European Platform of Integrated Information Services for Researchers in the Field of Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs Supporting Team and Project Building (RareDiseasePlatform)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

This project aims at creating a set of tools intended to facilitate collaborations between academic teams, SMEs and even major companies, in the field of rare diseases (RD). These tools will contribute to building up a community of stakeholders with the ultimate goal of speeding up RD research and development, providing diagnostic tools and therapies as quickly as possible. The specific objectives ...

Molecular mechanisms of germ cell migration across the mammalian blood-testis barrier (MIGBTB)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

"During spermatogenesis, germ cells located in the basal compartment of the seminiferous epithelium of the testis migrate across the blood-testis barrier (BTB) to continue differentiation on the luminal side. This trans-epithelial migration (TEM) requires regular restructuring of junctions present in the BTB. How germ cells pass the BTB, which harbours one of the tightest junctions present in the ...

The European Advanced Translational Research Infrastructure in Medicine (EATRIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

Efficient translation of research discoveries into industrial application is an essential element to maintain Europe’s competitiveness in the biomedical and health industry. The main bottleneck is the lack and the fragmented nature of essential research infrastructure and know-how, leading to unacceptable delays and/or preventing the development of new innovative medicines. The aim of EATRIS is to ...
