Pavadinimas Translational approaches to disease modifying therapy of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) Discovery and validation of novel endpoints in dry agerelated macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy Projekto aprašymas The project should help to gain an improved molecular understanding of the T1DM patients, deliver insights into the disease heterogeneity and provide tools for identification of high-risk patients. Ultimately the outcome will be the definition and refinement of T1DM disease taxonomy which could create a foundation for personalised therapy of T1DM patients. clinicians and researchers from the areas of immunology, beta cell biology, and biomarker research from academia and industry Dalyviai Academic endocrine clinics and associated supporting departments The project should provide generation of adequate data resulting from robust retrospective and/or prospective studies in patients that could serve as basis for initial discussion with regulatory agencies and/or HTA-bodies for acceptance of the resulting outcomes as endpoints for future clinical programmes Pharmaceutical companies have expertise of drug discovery, drug development as well as regulatory and HTA requirements. Basic, translational, and clinical researchers from the fields of T1DM autoimmunity and β-cell biology, Drug discovery and medical staff in Pharmaceutical Industry and Small and Medium size Enterprises Uždarymo data Stage 1 deadline for submission: 12 November 2014 – 17:00 CET Stage 2 deadline for submission: 21 April 2015 – 17:00 CET Hands-on data base specialists and big data managers Patient organizations/representatives Experts in regulatory science and health technology assessment preferably representing European health authorities. Academia has expertise in methods to assess visual function and structural (bio-) markers that may correlate with visual impairment both pre-clinically and clinically. They have access to databases on the natural history and the course under treatment of the diseases in-scope that would allow a retrospective analysis of potential correlations. Imaging and medical device companies have expertise in development and application of contemporary examination methods. Hospitals/practicing physicians have access to dry Stage 1 deadline for submission: 12 November 2014 – 17:00 CET Stage 2 deadline for submission: 21 April 2015 – 17:00 CET AMD and/or DR patients. They have a good understanding of epidemiology, pathophysiology, or other evidence to predict clinical benefit. Patients, users and caregivers can also play an important role in the establishing the value of new endpoints. Regulators, Health Technology Assessment (HTA) bodies and payers could provide guidance on prerequisites for acceptability of endpoints. Others such as technological centres and Contract Research Organisations may be able to contribute to the deliverables of the project.
