SYMPATH Reach α-synuclein-dependent neurodegeneration: clinical development of therapeutic AFFITOPE vaccines for Parkinson’s disease and multisystem atrophy
Coordinator: AFFIRIS AG (AT)
The goal of SYMPATH is to advance clinical development of therapeutic vaccines targeting α-synuclein (aSyn)-driven neurodegenerative diseases (ND). It addresses Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), two synucleopathies, for which no causal therapy exists. Ultimately, both lead to patient disability and death, which along with patient number (PD) and age of onset (MSA, PD) define their high medical need status.The proposed programme focuses on 2 vaccine candidates, PD01A and PD03A, delivered by the innovative AFFITOME® technology. Both are peptide-protein conjugate vaccin…
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.
EU contribution: €6.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2013-10-01 to 2017-09-30.
