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.

Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) isolated a panel of single domain antibodies (known as ‘nanobodies’), targeting the S2 subunit of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus. These nanobodies bind to a highly conserved region in the S2 subunit of the spike protein, suggesting the potential to treat current and future SARS-CoV infections. The NCI seeks parties interested in collaborative research and/or licensing to further develop these nanobodies as a possible treatment of COVID-19 infections.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a collection of T-cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically target CDKN2A mutations. CDKN2A mutations are present in a myriad of cancers. Therefore, these TCRs may be used for engineering TCR-based therapies with therapeutic potential for a broad cancer patient population.

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 National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the development of methods that employ the knockout of FGF1 Intracellular Binding Protein (FIBP) to overcome tumor microenvironment suppression against T-cell mediated immunotherapies.
