GLIOMARK consortium at EIT Innovators summit 2018 in Berlin

The Greek-German GLIOMARK consortium will be present at the EIT Innovator´s Summit, taking place in Berlin on 10th-11th September, 2018. With Athens-based ProActina SA and Berlin-based ConsulTech GmbH two small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) have been cooperating intensively for three years now in the development of a diagnostic agent for rare high-grade brain tumors (gliomas). Now, the first clinical success of this Greek-German collaboration can be announced: the clinical study Gliomark1 (phase II) has been successfully completed.
At EIT innovator´s summit will take part around 1000 top innovators, investors and corporates. They will gather for hands-on workshops, relevant matchmaking, a showcase by European top innovators and inspiring talks. Dr. Alexandros Strongilos (CEO of ProActina) and Dr. Daniel Schubart (CEO of ConsulTech) will take this opportunity to meet peers, pitch the project, present their ideas in front of top investors, exchange experiences and find new partnerships.

GLIOMARK1 clinical study successfully completed

The GLIOMARK consortium is delighted to announce that the Gliomark1 Phase II clinical study has been successfully completed.

Gliomark1: Phase II exploratory study assessing the technical performance of 99mTc-tetrofosmin for the differentiation of tumour recurrence vs. radiation-necrosis in patients with high grade brain tumours following initial treatment (EudraCT No.: 2015-005573-21, ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02971319).

The study, conducted in 6 large glioma centers in Europe, met all end-points, regarding both technical and diagnostic performance of 99mTc-tetrofosmin, and sets a strong basis for the design of a successful phase III confirmatory study.

The Consortium wishes to thank all the Principal Investigators and their dedicated teams, as well as our highly experienced team of Medical Advisors for their impactful contribution and commitment to bringing the study to its successful completion.

Dr Alex Strongilos, CEO of proACTINA, stated that “the successful completion of the phase II study is a major advancement towards the completion of this ambitious project and it constitutes a very strong foundation for the upcoming Phase III study”.

Dr Daniel Schubart, Managing Director of ConsulTech, stated that “We have now reached a very important milestone of the GLIOMARK project and we are very enthusiastic about this significant achievement”.

Project GLIOMARK has started

The European Commission, within the frames of Horizon 2020-SME-Instrument-Phase 2 (PHC-12), has positively evaluated the project "GLIOMARK" and approved funding of €4.7 million for the next 4 years. Objective of "GLIOMARK" is to clinically validate the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) as an in vivo biomarker for the diagnosis of gliomas. This will be accomplished by means of the radiotracer 99mTc-tetrofosmin (TTF) and the imaging technique Single-Photon Emission Computer Tomography (SPECT). The project will be coordinated by ConsulTech GmbH (Germany) and implemented in close collaboration with ProActina SA (Greece).
