Global Collaboration Action for Prevention and Treatment of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (LRTIs) in Sub-Saharan Africa
Funds late-stage clinical trials of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and antivirals against a named list of lower respiratory tract infection pathogens in sub-Saharan Africa.
Unlike most Horizon Europe topics, the scoring rubric for the second stage is spelled out here rather than deferred to a general annex: each of the three criteria — Excellence, Impact, and Quality and Efficiency of Implementation — is scored out of 5, with individual thresholds of 4, 4 and 3 respectively, plus an overall threshold of 12 across the three combined. Among proposals that clear those t…
This topic wants late-stage (Phase IIb onward) clinical studies evaluating prevention or treatment measures against a specific list of LRTI pathogens — including S. pneumoniae, RSV, influenza and several others — in sub-Saharan Africa, with priority on interventions close to availability such as Phase III assets or products already approved in the EU/US. Tuberculosis, CMV, human coronaviruses and fungi are explicitly out of scope, as are antibiotics; prophylactic vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and other antivirals are the intended interventions.
