TRANSCAN-3 launches its 4th Joint Transnational Call for research proposals (JTC 2024) on the following topic: “Combination therapies against cancer: new opportunities for translational research” with the aim of promoting highly innovative and ambitious collaborative projects in translational cancer research at European and international level. The expected impact of the call is to improve the efficacy of personalized treatment of cancer patients through the development of new combinatorial treatment strategies, based on a better understanding of drug mechanistic functions and of their impact on the disease course.
The main purpose of this call will be design of patient preclinical models for combination therapies. Translational research using tumour samples collected from retrospective and/or prospective cohorts of patients. Proposals will have to cover only one of the three specific aims listed below.
Aim 1. Development of new tumour derived models to test new drug combination therapies.
Aim 2. Design and development of high-throughput drug combination screening platforms to test new combination therapies.
Aim 3. Use of immunotherapy and radiotherapy combinations strategies to overcome drug resistance.
The first stage of international project proposals will close on 05 July 2024 (12:00, CEST) through the PT-Outline Electronic Submission System exclusively. For Turkish researchers, the deadline for the first stage of national applications is 12 July 2024 (23:59, TSI). Consortia that receive a positive evaluation in the first stage pre-proposal will be invited to proceed to the second stage.
