Created on Friday, 07 July 2017 12:13

The European Research Infrastructure for Translational Medicine (EATRIS) organizes its third bi-annual conference, “Translational Medicine 2017” on September 24-26 2017 at Corinthia Hotel in Prague.

This event, open to a wide range of stakeholders from academic researchers, funders to industry players and regulators, will bring together international experts to discuss the latest advancements in translational medicine.

The theme of this third edition, “Enhancing Predictivity in Medicines Development” will focus on bringing together the latest technologies to increase success in drug development, from novel in vitro systems to new biomarkers or clinical trial methodology for patient selection and stratification.

For this year’s edition, you will hear from – among others – Mark Schmidt (Senior Director, Janssen Research and Development), Philip Murphy (Head, Experimental Medicine Imaging, GSK), Christopher Austin (NIH-NCATS, United States). Find out all about the conference’s keynote speakers.

The programme also includes a pre-conference day on Sunday, September 24, that will be dedicated to a series of educational workshops tackling topics in the field such as molecular imaging, biomarker validation or potency assays for ATMP’s and vaccines.

Translational Medicine 2017 also welcomes abstract submissions until May 15, 2017!

Prediction of cognition in Parkinson's disease 10 years after onset

Created on Monday, 03 July 2017 07:34

Cognitive decline is one of the most debilitating manifestations of disease progression in Parkinson's disease and is a key determinant of a patient's quality of life and independence.¹ The ability to predict and to manage this complication is highly relevant for recruitment into and stratification of clinical trials, particularly those designed to slow disease progression and to prevent dementia. Although a multitude of drugs for Parkinson's disease is available to improve motor aspects of the disease, these do not have a major effect on cognitive decline.

The authors of a study published in The Lancet Neurology aimed to develop a clinical–genetic score to predict global cognitive impairment in patients with the disease. This international study involving clinicians from AP-HP, Inserm, UPMC at ICM was conducted using 9 cohorts gathering 3200 patients. The resulting predictive algorithm provides a potential test for future cognitive health or impairment in patients with Parkinson's disease. This model could improve trials of cognitive interventions and inform on prognosis.

In France, the DIG-PD cohort, coordinated by Pr Jean-Christophe Corvol at ICM, followed more than 400 patients for 6 years.
