HIT-GLIO Targeting tumour-host interactions in paediatric malignant gliomas to reinvigorate immunity and improve radio- and immunotherapy efficacy

Coordinator: INSTYTUT BIOLOGII DOSWIADCZALNEJ IM. M. NENCKIEGO POLSKIEJ AKADEMII NAUK (PL)

Paediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) are malignant, deadly tumours developing in infants and children. Mutations in histone coding genes disturb epigenetic regulation and in cooperation with other oncogenes promote tumour initiation and progression. pHGGs are fast-growing and diffusive which makes them hard to remove or treat. Surgery (unattainable in midline brain regions) and radiotherapy (RT) remain the only option with transient benefits as median survival is 9-15 months. Those tumours are immunosuppressed, thus immunotherapy is ineffective. We propose that knowledge of tumour-host inter…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €9.7M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2023-12-01 to 2027-11-30.
