December 16, 2008 - The Cooley's Anemia Foundation announces a new RFA in the area of gene therapy for thalassemia. The purpose of this initiative is to speed the application of recent translational advances in gene therapy to clinical trials. The foundation recognizes that there are many key areas worthy of support in the search for a cure for thalassemia with cell therapy and gene therapy. While several funding mechanisms are available for a range of studies on vector development, proof of concept studies in animal models, and transplantation, there remains a funding gap for launching human trials. Both phase I (safety) and phase II (efficacy) trials are eligible for support. |
