Supported Projects

Supported Approaches

PREVENT supports these approaches to prevention:

  • Immunoprevention (e.g., vaccines for cancers associated or not associated with infectious agents, immunomodulatory agents)
  • Chemoprevention (e.g., novel mechanisms, novel agents, anti-inflammatory approaches, drug repurposing, toxicity reduction strategies by dose and scheduling optimization, alternative routes of drug administration or combination regimens)
  • Clinically translatable biomarkers of tumor progression and/or prevention efficacy

PREVENT Cycles 1 through 24

A total of 132 projects have been implemented: 79 chemoprevention projects, 44 immunoprevention projects, and 9 biomarker projects.  There are a total of 35 OPEN projects 97 COMPLETED projects.
