Objectiu de la convocatòria
The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) funds drug discovery and development research programs in the field of Alzheimer's disease (AD), related dementias and cognitive aging. The ADDF seeks to fill the critical translational funding gap between basic research and later stage drug development by funding promising drug discovery and development programs. In addition to funding academic programs, the ADDF also invests in and creates early stage biotechnology companies. The ADDF also co-sponsors conferences to stimulate new ideas and approaches in areas of interest to the Foundation.
Característiques principals
Priority areas for this RFP:
For the purposes of this RFP, repurposed drugs includes both drugs that have been approved for other indications as well as compounds still under development for other conditions (sometimes referred to as ‘repositioning’).
  • Phase I-II human clinical trials of repurposed drugs that include biomarker endpoints relevant to the proposed mechanism of action
  • Animal model studies of repurposed drugs in preclinical models
  • Additional preclinical development work required to bring a repurposed drug into human clinical testing for Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia.
    Proposals should be hypothesis driven and drug(s) chosen for testing should target a mechanism of action(s) with strong rationale for dementia. Interdisciplinary teams are highly encouraged.
