Current Funding

Current and recent Research Funding to JCU is shown by funding source and project.

Commonwealth Department of Health - Medical Research Future Fund - Cardiovascular Health

The SPRINTS Project: Stroke - Prevention of Reperfusion

Indicative Funding
$797,893 over 4 years (administered by University of Adelaide)
Summary
Stroke represents a major clinical and social burden, being a leading cause of death, but also adult disability and dementia. The SPRINTS Project represents a novel therapeutic approach to significantly improve patient outcomes following an ischaemic stroke. The project represents a low-risk strategy to deliver a novel therapeutic agent to clinical trial for this area of high medical need. Through direct engagement with our world-leading clinical team, as well as with patient and consumer advocates, we expect the SPRINTS project to improve patient outcomes from acute stroke events, providing direct benefits to Australia and Australians.

Preventing reperfusion injury in stroke with an acutely dosed NK1R antagonist prodrug

Indicative Funding
$20,000 over 2 years (administered by Monash University)
Summary
Stroke represents a major clinical and societal burden, being a leading cause of adult disability, dementia, and death. The aim is to develop a novel therapeutic approach to significantly improve patient outcomes following an ischaemic stroke through the development of a novel therapeutic agent that can be delivered in conjunction with current approved reperfusion therapy. The plan involves critical de-risking efforts to deliver a low-risk strategy for progression to clinical trial. The plan focuses on the development of prodrugs of the NK1R antagonist, befetupitant, appropriately soluble for i.v. dosing, and accompanied by preclinical PK-PD data for formal, rapid preclinical development.
