The EU has funded 12 research projects on the treatment of different types of cancer. They are united in their effort to develop pragmatic clinical trials to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of patients with refractory cancers.

Through these clinical trials, we will have more data driving us to pragmatic solutions that can be quickly implemented, are low-cost, and will hopefully cure these patients with poor prognoses.

Diagnostics

EU Missions started from the idea that complex societal challenges require a coordinated effort across Europe to deliver impact.The 5 EU Missions are focused on climate change, cancer, ocean and water, 100 climate-neutral and smart cities, and healthy soil. This is our chance to work together towards a healthy, green, and digital future.

Improving the lives of more than 3 million people who are affected by cancer by the year 2030 through preventative and curative programs - living longer and better.

De-Escalate logo

De-Escalate

website

The De-Escalate project will evaluate whether intermittent intensified androgen deprivation treatment (iADT) in metastatic prostate cancer is not inferior to continuous treatment in terms of oncological benefit while minimizing side effects and resource utilization and improving patient quality of life.

Impact-AML logo

Impact-AML

website

Relapse or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) is a high-impact disease, in which no standard of care exists, and where we have an urgent need for new evidence on possible therapies; AML offers a setting in which methodological innovation will combine powerful instruments of clinical trials with personalized medicine through academic efforts.

Important

website

The study aims to investigate the prognosis, tolerability, and quality of life of vulnerable or frail older breast cancer patients treated with lower initial dose of CDK 4/6-inhibitors plus endocrine therapy compared to the recommended full dose of CDK 4/6-inhibitors.

LEGATO is an EU-funded phase III randomised pragmatic clinical trial on Recurrent Glioblastoma.

Brussels | Belgium
Liveration logo

Liveration

website

Liveration is an ambitious, pragmatic multicenter clinical trial in 7 different countries and 20 Hospitals to determine whether in liver surgery to resect cancer, additional ablation of tumor margin produced by scalpels that coagulate with radiofrequency can decrease the cancer recurrence rate and improve patient survival.

Barcelona | Spain
Pragmatil logo

PragmaTIL

website

The PragmaTIL trial aims to optimize treatment of cancer patients with Tumour-Infiltrating Lymphocytes Adoptive Cell Therapy (TIL-ACT) and substantially expand and improve the clinical implementation of this treatment modality in academic hospitals.
