EIDB

 Presently more than 65000 patients  New structure allows to store different

pathogens (Hep) and sequences from different genomic regions

 DB management moved from IBM to Koeln  Update ongoing  In the last two years 2 studies paid by Pharma

and 5 scientific studies finalised + 2 ongoing

 Could be better exploited

Engine retraining

 The EuResist Engine has been trained in

2010 on a database with 48.000 patients and compared favourably with all existing GISS

 Now it is old:

Short time point (8-12 weeks) Unsatisfactory behaviour with newer drugs

 Retraining needed

slide-5
SLIDE 5

Engine retraining

 Retraining is ongoing:

 On much larger and newer data set (the present

EIDB)

 With longer time point (48 weeks)  Lower VL definition for failure: <50 copies per ml  Same structure and prediction answer: which

combination therapy will minimise resistance

 It will be fit for middle income and emerging

countries

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Engine update

 Update is ongoing:

 New prediction answer: how long will the patient

remain aviremic

 Collaboration among MPS (Alejandro Pironti)

EuResist (Mattia Prosperi) and IBM (Tal El Hay) Other issues may be important: toxicity, pill burden, cost… Clinicians’ comments highly welcome!

EucoHIV

 Data collection completed: 1470 patients  Study proposals are welcome!

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Phylogeotool

 From the EucoHIV activities - realised by KuLeuven

group

 Will be trained also on the EIDB and offered on the

EuResist Engine website

 Skype demo at 4:30 pm today

Clinicians’ comments highly welcome!

Lemey et al. 2009

EuResist Mentor School

 Multidisciplinary course on value and usage of structured

data

 Addressed to young clinicians and researchers  Will offer an overview of existing databases and will train

the pupils on how to formulate a scientifically sound question and how to write a query

 Based on an extract from EIDB  2 days residential course with follow up possibly leading

to publications

 First mid of 2016

Comments highly welcome!

European HCV DB - PEPSI

 PEPSI is funded from the German Ministry of Science

and Education (BMBF) within the „Deutsches Zentrum für Infektiologische Forschung“, TTU Hepatitis

 Andrea De Luca, Maurizio Zazzi and Saleta Sierra

Aragon, Rolf Kaiser performed data evaluation on HCV 1a clade I and II for Italy and Germany (Open Forum in Infectious Diseases, accepted)

 We will promote the project through the EURESIST

partners and rise PEPSI on a European level

Eurostars supports research-performing small and medium enterprises, which develop innovative products, processes and services, to gain competitive advantage. Eurostars provides funding for transnational innovation projects, the products of which are then rapidly commercialized.

  • Consortium leader is an R&D performing SME from a Eurostars country
  • At least one other independent participant from another Eurostars country
  • The project duration is 3 years or fewer
  • Market introduction is within 2 years of the project’s completion…

To be eligible, the project can address any technology area, but must have a civilian purpose and be aimed at the development of a new product, process or service.
