Human cancers contain genetic mutations that are unique to each patient. Some of the mutated peptides are immunogenic, can be recognized by T cells, and therefore, may serve as therapeutic targets.
The NCI Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Biology seeks statements of capability or interest from parties interested in licensing this novel inhibitor of the Hippo signaling pathway.
Hydrogels represent an attractive controlled drug-delivery system that have been used in various clinical applications, such as: tissue engineering for wound healing, surgical procedures, pain management, cardiology, and oncology. High-water content of hydrogels confers tissue-like physical properties and the crosslinked fibrillar network enables encapsulation of labile small molecule drugs, peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, proteins, nanoparticles, or cells.
The NCI seeks research co-development partners or licensees for monoclonal antibodies that specifically target cancer-expressed EGFR.
Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) is a variant of EGFR that is an excellent target for immunotherapy because of its expression in cancer cells and not in normal cells.
The National Eye Institute (NEI) seeks research collaborations and/or licensees for the use of iPS cells.
The NCI is looking for innovative companies interested in co-developing and/or licensing a novel nucleic-based therapy based on the conditional activation strategy.
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children and makes up 3% of all childhood cancers. Aveloar Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most aggressive subtype and is primarily established through a chromosomal translocation resulting in the fusion protein PAX3-FOXO1. Despite aggressive therapy, the 5-year survival rate for patients with high risk or recurrent Fusion Positive RMS (FP-RMS) is low (~30% and ~17%, respectively). Therefore, new therapies targeting the PAX3-FOXO1 oncogenic driver are urgently needed.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Laboratories of Pathology and Cancer Biology and Genetics are seeking parties interested in licensing and/or partnering in co-development research of a software tool for commercialization in the field of clinical immunohistochemistry quantification.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics is seeking parties interested in licensing and /or co-development research collaboration of a software application for commercialization in quantitative and digital pathology fields.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research collaborations and/or licensees for the development of a CD276 antibody drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of solid tumors.
