The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for single domain antibodies targeting program death ligand 1 (PD-L1) for treatment of PD-L1-expressing cancers.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research and co-development partners and/or licensees for human monoclonal antibodies and antibody-based therapeutics targeting the B-cell antigen CD22

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have discovered a small molecule that binds to CD206 and activates M2-like tumor associated macrophages resulting in innate and adaptive anti-tumor responses. NCI seeks research co-development or licensees for CD206 small molecule modulators as a therapeutic for CD206-expressing cancers (such as pancreatic, sarcoma, head and neck, lung, gastric, triple negative breast, renal cell, colorectal cancer, melanoma).

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for a method of high-throughput generation of induced pluripotent stem cells carrying antigen-specific T cell receptors from tumor infiltrated lymphocytes.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for a fluoro-azacitidine analog that is efficacious in murine models of colon cancer, leukemia, and Hodgkin lymphoma.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks co-development or licensees for Dual-Specific Anti-CD22 Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptors

Pluripotent stem cells are a promising source of T cells for a variety of clinical applications. However, current in vitro methods of T cell differentiation result in the generation of cells with aberrant phenotypes. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have now developed methodology for generating induced pluripotent stem cell thymic emigrants (iTE). Antigen-specific CD8αβ+ iTEs exhibited functional properties in vitro that were almost indistinguishable from natural naïve CD8αβ+ T cells, including vigorous expansion and robust anti-tumor activity. iTEs recapitulated many of the transcriptional programs of naïve T cells in vivo and revealed a striking capacity for engraftment, memory formation, and efficient tumor destruction. The NCI seeks licensing and/or co-development research collaborations for this invention.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development and/or potential licensees for a potential novel treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with acetalax (oxyphenisatin acetate). Acetalax is a previously FDA approved drug that has been used as a topical laxative but is being repurposed here as an onco-therapy because of its cytotoxic effects on a number of TNBC and other cancer cell lines.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed a novel method for identifying neoantigen reactive T cells and T cell receptors (TCRs), isolated from fresh tumors of common epithelial cancers. This highly specific and sensitive method allows rapid determination of the neoantigen reactive TCR sequences and can be very useful to translate this information into TCR-engineered T-cell populations for immunotherapy without the need to grow tumor infiltrating T-cells and expensive, time-consuming screening. The NCI seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for this invention.
