Pancreatic Cancer
- 4th leading cause of cancer death
112 000 new cases per year, 15-20% operable
Survival for patients with
operable disease
– 15% after 5 years
Survival for patients with
non-operable disease
– 10% after 12 months
Patient survival unchanged over last 30 years

TG01 – RAS and Cancer
RAS controls cell division
RAS mutations are found in
– 80-90% pancreatic cancer
– 40-50% colorectal cancer
– 25-30% non small cell lung cancer
Difficult to hit with antibodies,
small molecules
RAS screening is becoming routine
Current treatment options provide no survival benefit

OFU - støtten har vært utløsende for
oppstart av Targovax’ kliniske studie
innenfor operabel bukspyttkjertelkreft
en god og viktig støtteordning

OFU-tilsagn oktober 2011
OUS søker HSØ innovasjonsmidler mars 2012
OFU samarbeidsavtale signert april 2012
OUS søker Kreftforeningen innovasjonsmidler juni 2012
Første utbetaling september 2012

Erfaringer
God dialog med Innovasjon Norge
Lang prosess frem til første utbetaling - mye dokumentasjon
Gode utbetalingsprosedyrer deretter - rapporterer direkte fra
regnskap med revisorbekreftelse så ofte det passer bedriften
Noen forbedringspunkter:
Ønsker bedre samordning av støtte til begge
forskningspartnerne (jfr f. eks. Eurostars) IN/HSØ
Ønsker mer klarhet ifm ansvar på OUS: hvem er ansvarlig på
hvilket trinn i søknadsprosessen. Standardprosedyre A-Å?
Kan Inven2 bistå med dette?
