Abstract

AddNeuroMed, as part of InnoMed, is a precursor of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). AddNeuroMed is a cross-European study, funded by the European Union and members of the European Federation for Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) and designed to find biomarkers, or tests, for Alzheimer’s disease.

Mission

The AddNeuroMed objectives are to produce and improve experimental models of Alzheimer’s disease for biomarker discovery and to identify a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease suitable for diagnosis, prediction, and monitoring disease progression for use in clinical trials and in clinical practice.

Consortium History

AddNeuroMed is involved in multiple preclinical studies including mice models, rat model, drosophila models, bioinformatics driven, and imaging.

Structure & Governance

AddNeuroMed is governed by IMI.

Financing

AddNeuroMed is funded by the European Union and EFPIA members.

Intellectual Property

The IMI Intellectual Property (IP) Policy governs the IP regime of all projects funded by the IMI Joint Undertaking (JU). To assist with specific IP queries, IMI has set up a dedicated IP Helpdesk, which can be contacted by e-mailing IMI-IP-Helpdesk@imi.europa.eu. The IMI IP policy can be accessed at the following address: http://www.imi.europa.eu/sites/default/files/uploads/documents/imi-ipr-policy01august2007_en.pdf

Data Sharing

AddNeuroMed is still collecting data. It welcomes collaborations and requests to access these data as the study progresses. The baseline data set was scheduled to be completed and locked in 2008 and become available to researchers by 2009. Requests to access these data will be reviewed by the scientific projects committee. In keeping with IMI policy, the AddNeuroMed project has up to one year after completion to disseminate IP or data created by the project.

Impact/Accomplishment

Finding a biomarker would help in clinical practice by empowering people with possible dementia and their families with more accurate information and would help in the discovery of new treatments by making clinical trials more effective. AddNeuroMed has preclinical and clinical components in addition to platform technologies in separate work-packages. Preclinical models of disease are used to find potential biomarkers, which are then validated in human studies. The human studies are used to discover novel biomarkers, which are then validated in preclinical models.
