Using FDA-approved Small Molecule Drug Reserpine and related compounds (especially Halofantrine) To Protect Photoreceptors In Inherited Retinal Degenerations And Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Summary: 
The National Eye Institute seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a therapy using an FDA-approved small molecule drug reserpine (and related compounds especially halofantrine) that prevents photoreceptor cell death in retinal degenerations.

Methods To Regulate Metabolism For Treatment Of Neural Injuries and Neurodegeneration

Axonal injury and subsequent neuronal death underpin the pathology of many neurological disorders from acute neural injuries (motor vehicle crashes, combat related injuries, traumatic brain injuries) to neurological diseases (multiple sclerosis, glaucoma). In the central nervous system (CNS), microglia help respond to CNS injuries by mediating the immune response and increasing inflammation at the site of injury. 

Humanized Monoclonal Antibodies Specific Against Human Soluble Tissue Factor (hsTF) as Diagnosis, Prevention and Therapeutic Agents for Thrombosis

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a novel humanized monoclonal antibody (58B3) that selectively targets a newly identified soluble Tissue Factor (sTF) to diagnose, prevent and treat pathological thrombosis associated with inflammation, viral/bacterial infection, sepsis and cancer – without affecting normal hemostasis.

Novel Human Immunogenic Epitopes of the Human Endogenous Retrovirus ERVMER34-1

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the clinical translation of novel peptide-based therapeutic cancer vaccines derived from ERVMER34-1, a human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) antigen, offering a unique opportunity to address a significant unmet need in the treatment of various carcinomas.

Oxynitidine Derivatives Useful as Inhibitors of Topoisomerase IB (TOP1) and Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) for Treating Cancer

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.
