This technology includes the incorporation of a magnetic field gradient waveform (consisting of two or more pulses) between excitation and encoding to eliminate signal from moving fluid for imaging applications. Proton Resonance Frequency (PRF) thermometry is a widely used Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based technique to monitor changes in tissue temperature in response to thermal therapy. The use of PRF thermometry with thermal therapy procedures is indispensable to ensure delivery of desired thermal dose to the target tissue, and to minimize unintended damage to the normal tissue.

Available for licensing and commercial development are patent rights covering PET imaging agents, methods of their synthesis, and their uses in imaging specific fungal infections.

This technology includes the use of atorvastatin, a medication to manage hypercholesterolemia, as a method to protect patients receiving cisplatin from hearing loss. Cisplatin chemotherapy is indicated in various cancer types in adults and children and is known to cause hearing loss. A patient on atorvastatin during chemotherapy is 46% less likely to acquire a significant cisplatin-induced hearing loss relative to a non-statin user. Atorvastatin is an FDA-approved medication routinely prescribed and well-tolerated clinically.

Summary:

The NCI seeks research co-development partners or licensees for monoclonal antibodies that specifically target cancer-expressed EGFR.

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.

The accurate placement of transplanted tissue at a precise position in the retina is difficult but critical for a successful implementation of an ocular surgical intervention. 

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks co-development partners and/or licensees to further develop a novel ELISA-based biodosimeter.

This technology includes a first-in-class synthetic peptide, angubindin-1, designed to temporarily relax the blood-brain barrier (BBB)—the tightly sealed network of brain blood vessel cells that normally blocks most drugs—from the inside. By binding the tricellular tight-junction protein angulin-1/LSR, the peptide creates a reversible “molecular doorway” that lets cancer medicines such as liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil®) reach tumors in the central nervous system (CNS).

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for the further development of a family of novel iodonium analogs as therapeutics for cancer and/or chronic inflammatory conditions.

Summary:

The National Eye Institute (NEI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for an automatic deep learning-based algorithm to detect and quantitate ellipsoid zone (EZ) loss in Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) images.
