Preclinical and clinical studies of innovative nanoformulation of anticancer drugs.

Reference number of the aid programme: SA.41471(2015/X) Purpose of public aid: Article 25 of EC Regulation No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain types of aid compatible with the internal market in the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty (OJ L. I'm sorry. EU L 187/1 of 26.06.2014). Every day doctors in Poland detect cancer in about 300 people, and 220 other people die from cancer a day. They are the third cause of deaths per year in the world, responsible for the deaths of 8.2 million people. The number of new cases is expected to increase by around 70 % over the next 2 years. Despite medical progress, the average number of cures in Europe is 50-60 %, whereas in Poland it is only 31-50 %. The cost of developing new oncological drugs increases with the increase in costs (in 2003 the cost was estimated at $1 billion- DiMasi, J Health Econ). 2003;22:151-185), still producing strong side effects resulting from imprecise action, destroying cancer and healthy cells of the body. This affects the quality of life of patients and their mental state, which may result in resigning from further therapy Nanovelos has developed an innovative, multi-application system of administration of anticancer drugs based on proprietary polysaccharide nanoparticles. Previous studies have shown increased accumulation of chemotherapy (doxorubicin) given in nanoparticles compared to free medicine. As part of the project, Nanovelos plans to carry out industrial research to combine chemotherapeutic agents used in the clinic with nanoparticles. Among the formulations obtained, nanoparticles will be selected which in animal models will show reduction of side effects and/or improvement in the effectiveness of treatment against free drugs.
