SYMPHONY consortium
The SYMPHONY consortium which aims to orchestrate personalised treatment in patients with bleeding disorders, is a unique collaboration between patients, health care professionals and translational & fundamental researchers specialised in inherited bleeding disorders, as well as experts from multiple disciplines. It aims to identify best treatment choice for each individual based on bleeding phenotype. In order to achieve this goal, workpackages have been organized according to three themes e.g. Diagnostics (workpackages 3&4); Treatment (workpackages 5-9) and Fundamental Research (workpackages 10-12). This research receives funding from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) in the framework of the NWA-ORC Call grant agreement NWA.1160.18.038. Principal investigator: Dr. M.H. Cnossen. Project coordinator: Dr. S.H. Reitsma. ​
Beneficiaries of the SYMPHONY consortium: Erasmus University Medical Center-Sophia Children’s Hospital, project leadership and coordination; Sanquin Diagnostics; Sanquin Research; Amsterdam University Medical Centers; University Medical Center Groningen; University Medical Center Utrecht; Leiden University Medical Center; Radboud University Medical Center; Netherlands Society of Hemophilia Patients (NVHP); Netherlands Society for Thrombosis and Hemostasis (NVTH); Bayer B.V., CSL Behring B.V., Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (Belgium) BVBA/SPRL.​ Additional beneficiaries, not included in the SYMPHONY consortium, currently funding parallel projects are: Novonordisk (OPTI-CLOT TARGET), Roche (Partitura), Stichting Haemophilia (patient-reported outcomes project).
