Innovative Pharmaceutical Initiative – iF!
Delaying Alzheimer’s disease
Scientists are investigating more than 100 new drugs that could enable patients to live more independently.
More pain‑free days for people with migraines
New therapies in development will reduce migraine attacks and enable patients to enjoy a better quality of life.
Preventing infections
Microbiome therapies can prevent the recurrence of infections caused by Clostridium difficile. The number of cases could be reduced by 90%.
Preventing liver transplantation
Therapies for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can reduce the buildup of fat in the liver. As a result, as many as 12,000 Europeans per year could avoid the need for a liver transplant.
Fight against diabetes
With cell therapies, blood sugar levels could be controlled in nearly 4 million Europeans living with type 1 diabetes.
Creating a world without hemophilia B
Gene therapy can improve the quality of life of people living with disease by reducing the need for intensive, lifelong treatment.
Fighting blood cancer
CAR‑T cell therapy could cure cancers that are currently incurable.
Better prospects for patients with lung cancer
Combination therapy could prevent the deaths of 30,000 people with non-small cell lung cancer.
Fighting bacterial infections
With more than 1,000 medicines in development, antibacterial antibodies could save 25,000 lives every year in Europe.
Bacterial infections
We won't rest until antibacterial monoclonal antibodies succeed in slowing antibiotic resistance and fighting bacterial infections.
Type 1 diabetes
We won't rest until cell therapy replaces regular insulin therapy for patients with diabetes.
Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the greatest public health crises in Europe, but we will not give up until new treatments stop the progression of the disease.
Lung cancer
Using combination treatment increases their effectiveness, helping people with lung cancer live longer; there will be no respite until non‑small cell lung cancer can be brought under control or even cured.
Haemophilia
Gene therapy offers the potential to transform the lives of patients with haemophilia B, and we will not relent until similar rare diseases can be eased or cured.
Blood cancer
We won't rest until CAR‑T cell therapy helps patients avoid lifelong treatment.
