Next generation drug conjugates for cancer treatment

Objective

The optimal potential of chemotherapy, despite being the standard treatment, has not yet been achieved and instead it can lead to adverse toxicological effects as a result of off-target toxicity, as the drug cannot discriminate between healthy and cancerous cells. Small molecule prodrugs help solve this issue thanks to their high efficiency in targeting tumour cells. Syndivia have developed the next-generation Antibody Drug Conjugation platform for development of highly effective small molecule prodrugs for targeted cancer therapies. Two patented technologies are applied in the formulation of the prodrugs delivering higher plasma stability and controlled release at the tumour site resulting in a higher therapeutic efficiency and reduction of off-target toxicity of the chemotherapeutic. The pioneer product SDV1001 is specifically focused on treatment of pancreatic cancer, that accounts for the highest mortality rate among all cancers, over 74% of patients will not survive 1 year from time of diagnosis and 95% will die within 5 years. Preclinical trials have proven the efficacy of the product in which animals treated by SDV1001 displayed 92-100% tumour regression and no noticeable side effects. The Phase 1 project will be focused on establishing a complete and scalable supply chain, verifying the business model and commercialization strategy, planning new collaborations and partnerships, including the ones to implement the next clinical trials stage.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

SME-1 - SME instrument phase 1

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
