IMI'S KICKING-CANCER

Children’s diseases are an important topic for IMI, in particular children and adolescents with cancer.
For the third time at the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), we are getting together privately to support a fundraising event “RUN TO KICK”.

Academic and industry scientists industry of our project ITCC-P4 (https://www.itccp4.eu) are working to accelerate new and effective oncology drug development by establishing a new preclinical proof-of-concept platform that will provide high-quality biological and preclinical rationale necessary to advance the field.
Another important issue is that half of all medicines used in children have never actually been tested in children. Our ‘Conect4children’ project (c4c: https://conect4children.org) is working to change this by creating a pan-European network for paediatric clinical trials. It has recently announced its first studies designed to increase our understanding of certain medicines that are common used in babies, children and young people.

Let’s get ready for a charity run or walk! And help us in raising funds.
