REQUEST FOR PREPROPOSALSSUPPLEMENT TO THE UNITED STATESARMY MEDICAL RESEARCH AND

DEVELOPMENT COMMANDBROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT

The U.S. Army has a special interest in preproposals for medical researchdirected toward defining the pathogenesis of and medical treatment forinjuries sustained by exposure to VESICATING chemical warfare agents.Specific areas of interest include the following:

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY FORMEDICAL COUNTERMEASURES STRATEGIES

- General organ systems - Route of entry and biodisposition of toxicagents as related to systemic toxicity.- Skin effects - Toxicity, pathogenesis, and mechanisms of action;identification of the etiology of blister formation and protracted healing.- Etiology, pathogenesis and mechanisms by which sulfur mustardinitiates leukopenia and granulocyte depletion.- Identification and validation of in vivo or in vitro systems to mold theactions of vesicant agents and pharmacological countermeasures.- Respiratory effects - Pathophysiology, pathogenesis and sequelae oflesions, mechanisms of action and suitable pharmacological interven-tion.- Ophthalmic effects - Toxicity, pathogenesis and mechanisms of pho-tophobia and ocular damage.- Pharmacokinetics, metabolism and pharmacodynamics of both expo-sure to vesicants and of candidate prophylactic and therapeutic com-pounds, alone and combined.

DRUG ASSESSMENT- Development of models and criteria for the (pre-IND/NDA) identifica-tion and evaluation of antivesicant compounds which are effective assystemic pretreatment or treatment drugs (both self-aid and medicalcare).- Development of models and criteria for the identification and evaluationof topical barriers which are safe and effecfive in the prevention ofvesicant injury to skin.

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT- Development of effective diagnostic and prognostic procedures ormeasures for field use to assess the extent of patient injury to includerational criteria for triage.- Development of cumulative and acute dosimetry technology for assess-ment of body burden.- Identification and development of clinical medical procedures whichdecrease the burden of patient care and achieve more rapid healing.- Definition and resolution of clinical critical care issues such astreatment regimens, relief of pain and itching, wound care and respira-tory support.

Threat agents of interest include sulfur mustard, lewisite, and phosgeneoxime (Note that nitrogen mustard is not considered a military threat).The goal of this research for the U.S. Army Medical Chemical DefenseProgram is to identify promising self aid, medical countermeasures andprocedures which preserve the capabilities of the armed forces of theUnited States. The United States Army Medical Research and Develop-ment Command supports extramural research by competitive award ofcontracts. Those interested in competing for research funding under thissupplement can obtain a brochore on the application process by writingto the following address:
