The Project

Advanced therapy based on antigen-specific dendritic cells to restore tolerance in immune-mediated diseases

Two main objectives

Accelerate the cellular development of a second-generation VitD3DC product for clinical application.

Provide Europe with advanced protocols on the VitD3DC product of second generation for cellular approaches to treat Multiple Sclerosis.

Expected impact

Scientist:100%
100%

Revolutionary scientific discovery on tolerogenic cellular therapies for Multiple Sclerosis and other diseases.

Economic:100%
100%

Reduction of the average annual healthcare cost per patient through the development of a better treatment to delay the disability of patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Social:100%
100%

Improve the quality of life of patients with Multiple Sclerosis, their families and caregivers by reducing disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), decreasing morbidity and reducing the need for lifelong therapy.

The project is divided into 8 parts that are closely related to each other.

In each part, a series of professionals who belong to academic and research centers, hospitals and SMEs from five countries of the European Union (Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Hungary and Germany) participate.
