mTOR Inhibition for the Prevention of Epithelial Stem Cell Loss and Mucositis

The integrity of the epidermis and mucosal epithelia is highly dependent on self-renewing stem cells and, therefore, is vulnerable to physical and chemical damage from common cancer treatments, such as radiation or chemotherapy. Consequently, many cancer patients undergoing these treatments develop mucositis, a debilitating condition involving painful and deep mucosal ulcerations. Since current prevention and treatment options for mucositis are limited, providing only minor relief and no protection to stem cells, novel therapies are needed.

Oxynitidine Derivatives as Tyrosyl DNA Phosphodiesterase (TDP) Inhibitors and Radiosensitizers

Summary: 
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is actively seeking potential licensees and/or co-development research collaboration partners interested in further developing this family of oxynitidine derivatives as tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) inhibitors and radiosensitizers for the treatment of cancer. 

HLA-class II-restricted T Cell Receptors for PIK3CA “Hotspot” Mutations, E545K and N345K

Summary: 

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks co-development partners and/or licensees for a collection of T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically target PIK3CA mutations to treat patients with tumors expressing these mutations in the context of HLA-DPA1*01:03:01, HLA-DPB1*04:01:01 or HLA-DRB1*04:01.
