Current RFPs

Clinical Trials in Immune Tolerance in Autoimmune Skin Disease

The ITN is currently seeking proposals for novel clinical trials with the goal of inducing tolerance in patients with autoimmune skin disesae. We are particularly interested in trials where the antigen-specific immune response in the target organ (skin) can be assessed and compared to biomarkers in blood. 

Detailed information and instructions: RFP - Clinical Trials in Immune Tolerance in Autoimmune Skin Disease

Deadline: September 26th, 2016

One-page Letters of Inquiry should be submitted to Philip Bernstein, Executive Director of Strategic Review, Planning, and Communication. 

 Clinical Trials in Immune Tolerance

The ITN accepts Concept Proposals year-round for novel clinical trials with testable hypotheses that are designed to induce immune tolerance in allergy and asthma, autoimmune disease, transplantation and type 1 diabetes. In addition, the ITN accepts proposals for the development of novel tolerance assays or mechanistic studies for the purposes of establishing new surrogate biomarkers of immune tolerance and investigating the mechanisms of clinical tolerance.

 Clinical Trials of Immune Tolerance for Protein/Gene-replacement Therapy

The ITN is currently inviting proposals for novel clinical trials with the aim of inducing tolerance in patients who receive gene/protein-replacement (e.g. hemophilia, Gaucher’s disease) or other exogenous protein therapy, in which the patients are at risk for developing an immune response to the biologic agent. The ideal proposal would have a testable mechanism of tolerance induction and a strategy for assays investigating this mechanism.
