T-cell Phenotypes Associated with Clinical Response to Adoptive Immunotherapy
Summary:
The NCI seeks applications from parties interested in co-developing and/or licensing a method to develop improved cancer immunotherapies.
HLA-A*01:01 Restricted Human T Cell Receptor Recognizing the NRAS Q61K Hotspot Mutation
Summary:
The NCI is seeking research co-development and/or licensees for the HLA-A*01:01 restricted human T-cell receptor recognizing the NRAS Q61K hotspot mutation.
Small Molecule Ephrin (Eph) Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer and Other Eph Growth-dependent Solid Tumors
Description of Technology:
Advanced colorectal carcinoma is currently incurable, and new therapies are urgently needed. Ephrin (Eph) receptors are a clinically relevant class of receptor tyrosine kinases. Related signaling pathways are associated with oncogenesis of a number of cancers. NCI investigators found that phosphotyrosine-dependent Eph receptor signaling sustains colorectal carcinoma cell survival, thereby uncovering a survival pathway active in colorectal carcinoma cells.
3-o-sulfo-galactosylceramide Analogs for Targeting Lung Metastases
Summary:
The NCI seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the sulfatide analog, C24:2
IgG4 Hinge Containing Chimeric Antigen Receptors Targeting Glypican-1 For Treating Solid Tumors
Description of Technology:
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. The overall 5-year survival rate is 8.5%. Glypican-1 (GPC1) is a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan protein overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. Due to preferential expression, GPC1 represents a potential candidate for targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer and other GPC1-expressing cancers, such as prostate.
New Heterocyclic Scaffold-Based Inhibitors of the Polo-Box Domain of Polo-like Kinase 1 for the Treatment of Cancer
Summary:
The National Institutes of Health is seeking commercial partners to co-develop and/or license a heterocyclic scaffold for development of therapeutics against Plk1-dependent cancers.
Chimeric Antigen Receptors to CD22 for Treating Hematological Cancers
Description of Technology:
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are hybrid proteins consisting of an antibody binding fragment fused to protein signaling domains that cause T-cells which express the CAR to become cytotoxic. Once activated, these cytotoxic T-cells can selectively eliminate the cells which they recognize via the antibody binding fragment of the CAR. Thus, by engineering a T-cell to express a CAR that is specific for a certain cell surface protein, it is possible to selectively target those cells for destruction. This promising new therapeutic approach
High-Throughput Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Carrying Antigen-Specific T Cell Receptors from Tumor Infiltrated Lymphocytes
Summary:
NCI seeks proposals from parties interested in licensing an improved method for the identification of TCRs from bulk populations of TIL for the development of cancer immunotherapies.
