Boost Brittle Bones Before Birth (BOOSTB4)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2020,

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is, in its severe forms, a devastating inherited disorder characterised by brittle bones. A person with severe OI is affected throughout their lifetime with repeated, multiple fractures, considerable pain and handicap. There is no curative or effective treatment for OI. Our preclinical studies and initial clinical cases have demonstrated that transplantation of fetal m ...

Autologous Stem Cell Seeded Tissue Engineered Trachea (TETRA)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2019,

CLINICAL PROBLEM AND UNMET NEEDThere are 11,827 patients with severe structural airway disease in Europe. Even with the current standard of care, when hospitalised this group of patients has a 22% risk of dying. Patients are currently subjected to repeated surgical interventions (stent insertion) which have a high failure rate. Other therapeutic strategies under development include synthetic trac ...

Female cancer prediction using cervical omics to individualise screening and prevention (FORECEE)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2019,

While prevention of most female specific cancers (ovarian, breast, endometrial) has not progressed substantially in recent years, significant progress has been made with cervical cancer due to accessibility of the cell of origin (cervical smear) and availability of a test for the causal agent (human papilloma virus); together these enable identification of high risk individuals and interventions t ...

Does vascular endothelial growth factor gene therapy safely improve outcome in severe early-onset fetal growth restriction? (EVERREST)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) globally occurs in 8% of pregnancies, is severe and early onset in 1:500 cases, affecting 11,000 babies annually in the EU. In most cases, reduced uterine blood flow restricts substrate delivery to the fetus causing growth to slow or cease. There is no treatment. Currently the fetus is delivered very preterm before fetal death or irreversible organ damage occurs. Aff ...

Tissue engineering of the right heart outflow tract by a biofunctionalized bioresorbable polymeric valved tube (TEH-TUBE)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,

Approximately 42% of infants’ mortality in the world is related to congenital heart defects (prevalence: 8-12/1000 births). Over 1/3 require the reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) by surgical procedures which currently use inert materials without any growth potential. Consequently, multiple reoperations are often required, with their attendant high risk of mortality and m ...

The effect of intracoronary reinfusion of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) on all-cause mortality in acute myocardial infarction (BAMI)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,

Although the long term prognosis of patients suffering acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has improved since the introduction of reperfusion therapies and primary angioplasty, the 1 year mortality of patients with AMI and resultant left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is still as high as 13%. A major reason for the high morbidity and mortality is that the heart has an inadequate regenerativ ...

Biodegradable Magnetic Stent for Coronary Artery Luminal Regeneration (BIOMAGSCAR)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,

By 2010 1.5 million stents per year will be deployed in Europe. Although outcome for patients has improved, stents still fail because of the occurrence of restenosis and thrombosis at the site of implantation. While drug eluting stents have helped to reduce the problem of restenosis, neointimal proliferation causing restenosis can still occur. Additional concerns exist regarding drug eluting stent ...

EPIGENETICS FOR FEMALE PERSONALIZED CANCER CARE (EPI-FEM-CARE)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,

CLINICAL NEEDEvery year in the EU ~45,300 and 330,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian and breast cancer respectively & 28,800 and 90,000 of these two groups of women will die as a consequence of these diseases. Currently there are no tools available that allow for:a) Effective screening of ovarian and/or breast cancer of sufficient sensitivity and specificity to avoid potential over-diagnosis, or ...

Operational Radar For Every drill string Under the Street (ORFEUS)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) offers significant benefits for urban environments by minimising the disruption caused by street works. Use of the technique demands an accurate knowledge of underground utility assets and other obstructions in the drill path.This proposal is to progress the prototype HDD bore-head radar technology developed under the project ORFEUS to a commercial stage.ORFE ...

Development of OPN-305 as an orphan drug for the treatment of Delayed Graft Function post solid organ transplantation (MABSOT)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,

Delayed graft function (DGF) is defined as the need for dialysis within seven days of renal transplantation (DGF promotes allograft rejection, requires prolonged dialysis and hospitalisation, and increases the likelihood of graft failure and ultimately the duration of renal graft survival-expectancy. The incidence of DGF occurs in 21-44% of cases following cadaveric renal graft. Several rare dise ...

Enhanced patient safety by computational Modelling from clinically available X-rays to minimise the risk of overload and instability for optimised function and joint Longevity (MXL)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,

Osteorthritis (OA) is a disabling disease, affecting the joints of 40% or more of the population over 60, resulting in a socioeconomic burden of €7b. per year in Germany alone. Joint surgery attempts to address the various disease stages, to either minimize the risk of early degeneration of the native joint, or to replace a fully degenerated joint, with well over 1,000,000 surgeries performed annu ...
