Prospective Grant of Exclusive
License: FDA Cleared Pediatric Cancer
Diagnostics and Prognostics
National Institutes of Health,
Public Health Service, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This is notice, in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR
404.7(a)(1)(I), that the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), Department
of Health and Human Services, is
contemplating the grant of an exclusive
license to practice the invention
embodied in Patent Applications U.S.
10/133,937, filed 04/25/2002, entitled
‘‘Methods for Analyzing High
Dimensional Data for Classifying,
Diagnosing, Prognosticating and/or
Predicting Diseases and Other Biological
States’’; and U.S. 10/159,563, filed 05/
31/2002, entitled ‘‘Selections of Genes
And Methods of Using The Same For
Diagnosis And For Targeting The
Therapy of Select Cancers’’; to Althea
Technologies, Inc. having a place of
business in San Diego, California. The
patent rights in this invention have been
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
49289
assigned to the United States of America
(PHS ref E–324–2001/0,1).
DATE: Only written comments and/or
application for a license that are
received by the NIH Office of
Technology Transfer on or before
October 29, 2007 will be considered.
ADDRESS: Requests for a copy of the
patent application, inquiries, comments
and other materials relating to the
contemplated license should be directed
to: Cristina Thalhammer-Reyero, Ph.D.,
M.B.A., Office of Technology Transfer,
National Institutes of Health, 6011
Executive Boulevard, Suite 325,
Rockville, MD 20852–3804; e-mail:
ThalhamC@mail.nih.gov; Telephone:
301–435–4507; Facsimile: 301–402–
0220.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
prospective exclusive license will be
royalty bearing and will comply with
the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C.
209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective
exclusive license may be granted unless,
within 60 days from the date of this
published Notice, NIH receives written
evidence and argument that establishes
that the grant of the license would not
be consistent with the requirements of
35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
The invention relates to a method of
using supervised pattern recognition
methods for classifying, diagnosing,
predicting, or prognosticating various
diseases. The method includes
obtaining high dimensional
experimental data, such as gene
expression profiling data, filtering the
data, reducing the dimensionality of the
data through use of one or more
methods, training artificial neural
networks (ANN, a supervised pattern
recognition method), ranking individual
data points from the data, choosing
multiple data points from the data based
on the relative ranking, and using the
multiple data points to determine if an
unknown set of experimental data
indicates a diseased condition, a
predilection for a diseased condition, or
a prognosis about a diseased condition.
Further, the invention relates to sets of
genes expressed in cancer cells that
function to characterize each cancer
type, and methods of using the sets of
genes for diagnosis and for targeting the
therapy of selected cancers. In
particular, the methods apply to classify
cancers which often present diagnostic
dilemmas in clinical practice, such as
the pediatric small round blue cell
tumors (SRBCTs), including
neuroblastoma (NB),
rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), Burkitt’s
lymphoma (BL), and the Ewing family
of tumors (EWS). Specifically, the
invention is an application of ANNs for
