http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01211678

A consortium evaluating a new biomarker screening test that might help identify patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are unlikely to benefit from anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) medications. BATTER-UP will enroll around 1,000 patients being treated by one of several marketed anti-TNF RA drugs: Enbrel, Remicade, Humira, Simponi, or Cimzia. Through data analyses and predictive response modeling, the consortium aims to better understand which patients with RA will derive the greatest benefit from TNF inhibitors. The investigators in this observational study will attempt to validate an 8-gene biomarker set based on work by Biogen Idec researchers as likely to predict anti-TNF responsiveness in patients with RA. In preliminary results, the 8-gene biomarker set predicted with 89% accuracy individuals who did not reach European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Disease Activity Score (DAS)-28 good response after 14 weeks of treatment. The 8 genes included in the screen are CLTB, MXRA7, CXorf52, COL4A3BP, YIPF6, FAM44A, SFRS2, and PGK1. Biological samples and clinical outcome information will be used to confirm and extend the utility of previously published biomarkers that can predict response to anti-TNF agents. These data may also generate new hypotheses for further testing. The BATTER-UP samples and data will be established as a reference set for investigation of personalized medicine in RA. The study will be a resource of DNA and other biological materials that can be investigated for biomarkers in the future as new technologies arise.

Private, clinical stage biotherapeutics company focused on delivering new solutions to individuals affected by kidney disease. They are committed to developing novel approaches to protect, treat and restore kidney function for this patient group. Company has designed specific class of peptide compounds that have shown excellent results in controlling experimental kidney diseases, notably, models of diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage associated with diabetes), and acute kidney injury. These proprietary peptides may therefore be able to prevent and treat acute kidney injury, as well as slow and possibly reverse the progression of diabetic nephropathy. They act to control apoptosis (programmed cell death), inflammation and fibrosis (formation of scar tissue).

https://www.bigtencrc.org/

A consortium that aims to transform cancer research through collaborative oncology trials that leverage the scientific and clinical expertise of the Big Ten universities. The goal is to align the conduct of cancer research through collaborative, hypothesis-driven, highly translational oncology trials that leverage the scientific and clinical expertise. The clinical trials that will be developed will be linked to molecular diagnostics, enabling researchers to understand what drives the cancers to grow and what might be done to stop them from growing. The consortium also leverages geographical locations and existing relationships among the cancer centers. One of the consortium's goals is to harmonize contracts and scientific review processes to expedite clinical trials. The consortium will only focus on phase 0 to II trials because larger trials - even a randomized phase II trial - are difficult to conduct at a single cancer center.

http://www.euadr-project.org/

Consortium that created the capability to detect Adverse Drug Response (ADR) signals by creating the infrastructure for large-scale monitoring of drug safety using electronic health records (EHR). The platform leverages EHR''''s comprising demographics, drug use and clinical data of over 30 million patients from several European countries. Special attention was given to patient groups that are not routinely involved in clinical trials, for ethical or practical reasons (e.g. pregnant women, elderly people, people using many drugs simultaneously, and children). This project also studies and compares a number of different techniques that all aim to detect unexpected or disproportional rates of events. The algorithms that they studied originate not only from the field of (pharmaco)epidemiology, but also from fields such as bio-terrorism, machine learning, and classical signal detection. EU-ADR specific objectives are: To detect events, To relate these events to drugs, To develop hypothesis that explain adverse events, To detect adverse events earlier, and To avoid false positives. The web-based platform is available at https://bioinformatics.ua.pt/euadr/ EU-ADR has contributed to the ability to conduct better drug safety studies based on the re-use of healthcare data. By facilitating the early detection of adverse drug reactions, but also providing key information on populations at risk, potential drug interactions, potential underlying mechanisms and intervening pathways in adverse events, etc., the project will allow for improved and more complete information to be available for drug and healthcare delivery, leading to increased patient safety and its associated cost savings. The EU-ADR system can be considered as a complementary tool to already existing pharamcovigilance systems. Should the system be widespread in the long term, it has the potential to contribute to the development of future electronic health record systems, insofar as the expected benefits of these IT tools are only fully attainable when EHRs develop themselves in consistency, richness and formats that allow them to be subject of such tools. In anticipation, EU-ADR has been designed to be modular and scalable, so that different EHR databases (other than those participating in the Consortium) can be progressively enlisted in the future, adopt the software for data extraction and therefore become susceptible of exploitation by the system, for maximum global effect.
