Status clinical trial INTENS, Project ID: 668294

La solicitud fue exitosa.

Dear Research and Innovation,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

The UCL-led clinical trial INTENS and Dr Paolo De Coppi (famous for his trachea transplants with Paolo Macchiarini and Martin Birchall) announced as Work Package 5 the "transplantation of engineered intestine" in patients, to take place at UCL (London, UK) and in UCLA (California, USA). The project started in 2016, hence I request a status update on:

- any issued ethical approvals for clinical trials on patients
- any approvals issued by EMA
- any recruiting clinical trials
- any transplantations already performed

https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/199...
http://www.intens.info/project/

Otherwise I wish to congratulate the EU Commission on the resounding success of another UCL regenerative medicine project, the trachea transplant TETRA led by De Coppi's partner Martin Birchall. Let us hope INTENS will be come just as successful.

Yours faithfully,
Leonid Schneider

Dear Research and Innovation,

I am afraid I must insist on a reply. The affair of trachea transplants performed at UCL and GOSH by the project head Paolo De Coppi and his colleagues is now very much a hot issue.
https://forbetterscience.com/2018/02/01/...
Your delays appear artificial in order to avoid public scrutiny of your funding decisions and your irresponsible attitude towards patients, as you already amply demonstrated with another clinical trial you fund (led also by UCL), by repeatedly denying me and prospective patients any information on TETRA.
https://forbetterscience.com/2018/03/26/...
I therefore request an internal review because I suspect that the real reason for the delay is an attempt to find ways to avoid answering my request altogether.
Yours faithfully,

Leonid Schneider

Dear Research and Innovation,

Please pass this on to the person who reviews confirmatory applications.

I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request 'Status clinical trial INTENS, Project ID: 668294'.

I am puzzled as to why the EU Commission declares:
"The Horizon 2020 project INTENS (INtestinal Tissue ENgineering Solution) does not have
any deliverables related to clinical trials on patients under Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on clinical trials on medicinal
products for human use, and repealing Directive 2001/20/EC. "

A visit to the Consortium website provides this Workplan:
http://www.intens.info/project/workplan/
http://www.intens.info/wp-content/upload...
The work package 5 is titled: "Transplantation of engineered intestine". I reached out to members of the consortium and received no information about that work package, hence my FOIA request to the EU Commission.
One of the goals of INTENS is defined: "Engineering intestine for transplantation"
Cordis website declares:
"The work is designed to lead directly to a clinical trial for the application of the optimal protocol for tissue-engineered intestine."

Therefore I request the EU Commission to study the original grant proposal, find the section about the scheduled clinical applications, contact the Consortium lead at UCL and inform me on any clinical applications of INTENS bowel replacements which already took place or are scheduled either in a clinical trial or as compassionate use.

A full history of my request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/stat...
