ITCC Completed Projects

ITCC-P4

ITCC-P4

A comprehensive ‘paediatric preclinical POC platform’ to enable clinical molecule development for children with cancer.

ITCC-P4 is a comprehensive ‘paediatric preclinical POC platform’ to enable clinical molecule development for children with cancer; ITCC-P4 project was initially launched to develop patient-specific preclinical laboratory models for the most common high-risk childhood cancers and also relapses that are currently under-treated. It was a formed public-private partnership supported by the European consortium ‘Innovative Medicines Initiative’ (IMI).

At the end of the project ITCC-P4, a non-for-profit commercial enterprise has been incorporated.
