patients living with Asthma and/or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with a particular focus on non-type 2 (non-T2) mechanisms.
Special consideration will be given to submissions with proof-of-concept data and preclinical or asset-stage programs with in vitro/in
vivo validation.
Research approaches that are not within scope for this challenge include:
·
Inhaled drug delivery approaches
·
Cystic fibrosis (genetic defect-targeting) therapies
·
Antibiotic-based strategies for chronic bronchitis
·
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency therapies
·
Drug repurposing
Evaluation Criteria
Potential solutions will be evaluated by a panel of reviewers on their ability to meet the following criteria:
·
Strategic alignment or relevance to non-T2 inflammatory pathways in Asthma and COPD
·
Differentiation of asset profile or validated platform for novel target identification
·
Feasibility of development of the asset
·
Demonstration of safety and efficacy through clinical or preclinical proof-of-concept data
·
Identification of key resources and a plan to further the idea
