Thera4Care aims to establish a European network of radiotheranostics centres to standardize, scale, and accelerate the development and clinical use of diagnostic and therapeutic ligands for precision health. The project integrates preclinical research, clinical trials, AI, imaging, and education to improve treatment efficacy, patient outcomes, and the availability of radionuclide-based therapies across Europe.

Project description

Thera4Care represents a large unique consortium, gathering well-established European academic radiotheranostic centres, strong industry partners, European and medical societies focusing on training and education, a patient advocacy group spearheaded by an experienced project management group. Thera4Care aims to establish a European network of radiotheranostics centres able to rapidly develop and implement radiotheranostics tools and solutions to drive precision health. The overarching vision of Thera4Care is to revolutionise radiotheranostics procedures by establishing, implementing, and disseminating standardised scalable methods to produce and efficiently administer key radiotheranostics solutions. Thera4Care focus is on developing diagnostic and therapeutic ligands tailored to key disease areas (such as solid tumours), aligning with the growing significance of multi-modal radiotheranostics solutions dominated by radionuclide-based therapy and companion diagnostics.

Thera4Care project is scheduled for 5 years and consists of 9 work packages. WP1 handles Project Management, WP2 focuses on Regulatory aspects, WP3 plans Preclinical studies, WP4 provides Supply chain, WP5 develops Clinical Trials, WP6 generates AI models, WP7 focuses on Dosimetry, WP8 develops Precision Imaging components, while WP9 focuses on Education and Dissemination.  Thera4Care will advocate for the progress of radiotheranostics, with the goal of increasing medical knowledge and enhancing treatment efficacy for improved patient outcomes. Concurrently, aims to coordinate scientific initiatives across European landscapes, leveraging a comprehensive and multimodal approach to cancer therapy applicable to various cancer types. Lastly, will work on the establishment of sustainable supply and production networks and the upscaling of production methodologies and supply chains across the public and private sectors, to enhance the availability of radionuclides.
