TRAUMAKINE Interferon-beta treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)

Coordinator: FARON PHARMACEUTICALS OY (FI)

This application aims at a European marketing application for an orphan indication of the biopharmaceutical interferon-beta (IFN-beta) (EU3/07/505), to treat acute lunge injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €6.0M toward a total project budget of €7.8M — a funding rate of 77%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5.5 years from 2012-12-01 to 2018-05-31.
