EURO EWING Consortium – International Clinical Trials to Improve Survival from Ewing Sarcoma (EEC)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 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 ...

Personalised Prognostic Tools for Early Psychosis Management (PRONIA)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
Affective and non-affective psychoses have a major negative impact on human society. They account for 6.3% of the global burden of disease and cost €207 billion per year in Europe alone, making them the most expensive brain-related disorders and even more expensive than cardiovascular diseases. This socioeconomic burden is largely caused by two core disease features: onset in adolescence and early ...

Identification of Novel Targeted Therapies for Renal Cancer (ONCOTREAT)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,
"Overall, kidney cancers are the eighth most common cancer and the incidence of the most common form (renal cell carcinoma, RCC) has been increasing steadily over the past 30 years. If detected early, surgical removal of RCC can be curative but the prognosis for metastatic disease is very poor. RCC is resistant to conventional therapy and recently introduced targeted therapies form the mainstay of ...

Distal regulatory elements in cancer progression and treatment: focus on DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation (methDRE)
Date du début: 15 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 14 nov. 2017,
In carcinogenesis epigenetic aberrations occur early, are widespread across the genome and are potentially reversible. DNA methylation (5mC) at gene promoters and CpG islands (CGIs) is well recognized for affecting gene expression. In contrast, little is known on the role of DNA methylation in distal regulatory elements (DREs). Based on recent genome-wide studies, we hypothesize that DREs are more ...
