The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a new series of photo-absorbing silicon-phthalocyanine derivatives (IR702HKT) for use in near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) in the treatment of cancer.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the development of AOAH as a cancer immunotherapy.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks co-development partners and licensees for a human cytotoxic T lymphocyte agonist epitope from the C-terminal subunit of mucin 1 (MUC1-C), which can be used as a peptide, polypeptide (protein), in a cancer vaccine or T-cell targeted therapy to target many tumor types.
Summary:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks co-development partners and/or licensees for a method of identifying and selectively expanding neoantigen-specific T cells.
Summary:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is actively seeking potential licensees and/or co-development research collaboration partners interested in advancing oxynitidine derivatives as novel inhibitors of topoisomerase IB (TOP1) and tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) for cancer treatment. These TOPI and TDP1 inhibitors, when administered together, demonstrate enhanced anti-tumor efficacy.
Description of Technology:
Summary:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks co-development partners and/or licensees for a liquid biopsy diagnostic assay capable of detecting loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and somatic mutations in genes important for antigen processing and presentation and interferon-γ response pathways.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) seek research co-development partners and/or licensees for commercial development of a novel liquid biopsy diagnostic for non-invasive detection of cell-free HPV 6 and 11 DNA for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP).
This technology includes the combination of a kinase inhibitor (specifically ibrutinib) with a bispecific antibody (specifically a CD19/CD3 bispecific antibody) to be used to treat cancer. CD19/CD3 bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) can be used to recruit endogenous T cells against CD19+ tumor cells via the formation of cytolytic synapses. lbrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, has been shown to normalize T cell dysfunction characteristic of CLL.
This technology includes monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that specifically and with high affinity bind the final complement components C3dg and C3d (subsequently referred to as C3d), which can be used to kill tumor cells that carry C3d on their cell surface. We show that tumor cells of patients treated with the therapeutic anti-CD20 mAb ofatumumab carry C3d on the cell surface and can bind and be killed by addition of anti-C3 mAbs. In contrast, further addition of more ofatumumab has only minimal effects.
This technology includes a method to identify potentially therapeutic microRNAs in cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). This approach first utilizes a large and publicly available expression dataset, which is then validated by a smaller independent dataset to determine deregulated microRNAs expression. These results are then intersected with in vitro functional anti-proliferative screening data to select for microRNAs that play a functional tumor suppressive role and likely serve as therapeutic targets.
