3-min survey about the effects of macroeconomic challenges on research in Europe

European researchers, especially project coordinators & supervisors of clinical trials, are asked to answer a few questions to help us understand how COVID-19, inflation, lack of qualified human resources, and other macro-economic factors and challenges have affected your research in the past 4 years: Click here to access the survey. It only takes 3 minutes to complete the survey and participation is entirely anonymous (unless an email address is entered at the end to receive the results of the survey once they are ready). We intend to collect more than 100 responses before closing the survey. - Thank you kindly for supporting our initiative!

OUR VISION

More than 10 million people worldwide suffer from decompensated cirrhosis, often as a result of severe alcoholic hepatitis (sAH) or other chronic liver diseases. In its final stages, decompensated cirrhosis leads to acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), a syndrome characterized by multi-organ failure. Effective treatment of ACLF is an urgent and unmet need. The A-TANGO consortium performs Phase 2 clinical studies of an innovative therapeutic strategy that targets inflammation and improves hepatocyte proliferation. We call this novel combinatorial therapy G-TAK. In addition, A-TANGO strives to identify reliable biomarkers for better patient stratification and an increased survival rate.
