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.

Description of Technology: 

Methods of Detecting Loss of Heterozygosity and Damaging Mutations in Immune-Related Genes Using Liquid Biopsies

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.

Method of Detecting Circulating Cell-Free HPV 6 and 11 DNA in Patients Afflicted With Diseases Caused by Chronic HPV 6 or 11 Infection and Use Thereof

Summary:

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).
