Synuclein Therapeutic Acceleration Program (SynTAP 2013)

Organisme

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) seeks to fund mid- to late-stage development of therapeutics targeting alpha-synuclein consisting of preclinical efficacy, target engagement, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamic evaluation, and/or safety & toxicology studies. These studies should be designed to obtain data required for IND submission and future clinical testing of the therapeutic. Applicants may submit a proposal for consideration of up to two-years, and a maximum of $1M award.

Objecte

MJFF has made significant investments in research to understand alpha-synuclein and to translate it into therapeutic strategies for advancing a cure for Parkinson’s disease. Through the SynTAP 2013 program, MJFF seeks to aggressively move therapeutic compounds and biologics targeting alpha-synuclein into clinical testing. MJFF seeks proposals for obtaining additional preclinical efficacy data, confirmation of target engagement, evaluation of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), dose-formulation, safety pharmacology and toxicology studies, which would provide supporting data to enable first-in-human (IND-enabling) studies.
