The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a T-cell receptor (TCR) that confers high-avidity recognition of the HPV-specific oncoprotein E6. The TCR may be used in an adoptive cell therapy approach utilizing genetically engineered lymphocytes to treat HPV-positive malignancies.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a combination immunotherapy approach of neoantigen-specific T cells administered alongside a vaccine targeting the same neoantigen for the treatment of cancer. This approach has been shown to have synergistic effect compared to the vaccine and/or T cell therapy approach alone.

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the development and use of androgenic compounds as contraceptives and/or hormonal therapeutics.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for a library of cell lines stably expressing common tumor-specific antigens and human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) that can be used to identify, isolate, and expand tumor-reactive T cells.

The NCI seeks parties interested in research co-development and/or licensing of TCRs targeting the BRAF V600E mutation. These TCRs are HLA-A*0301 restricted. The BRAF V600E mutation is common among cancer patients, giving the TCRs broad therapeutic potential in immunotherapy against multiple cancers.

Scientists at National Cancer Institute (NCI) Center for Cancer Research (CCR) identified selective tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) inhibitors that may be used in combination with topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitors for synergistic treatment of solid tumors. NCI seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for commercializing the TDP1 inhibitors as part of an anti-cancer therapy.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells that specifically target Glypican 2 (GPC2) are strong therapeutic candidates for patients with neuroblastoma and other GPC2-expressing cancers. The inventors at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed a potent anti-GPC2 (CT3) CAR containing CD28 hinge and transmembrane domains (CT3.28H.BBζ) that is available for licensing and co-development.

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees to further develop and commercialize its methods of noninvasively and directly determining the absolute homeostatic state, metabolic activity, function, and viability of isolated cells, or tissues (ex vivo or in vivo), such as the Central Nervous System (CNS). The method uses Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or Magnetic Resonance Imaging measurements of the rate at which endogenous water exchanges across cell membranes.

National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees or co-development research collaborations for a novel method of generating microtissue spheroids that allows for creation of a self-contained spheroid integrating both cells and decellularized tissue ECM dense regions rather than cell-only spheroids.
