National Cancer Institute; Notice of Closed Meeting, 71627-71628 [2013-28564]

Download as PDF sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2013 / Notices Methods of Modulating Chemotherapeutic Cytotoxicity Description of Technology: Investigators at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have discovered that blockade of the signalling activity of a single cell-surface receptor, CD47, in cancer cells results in enhanced sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy treatment and in healthy tissues reduces damage to normal cells. Many chemotherapeutic agents cause significant cytotoxicity to non-cancer (‘‘normal’’) cells, resulting in undesirable side-effects and often limiting the dose and/or duration of chemotherapy that can be administered to a patient. The present invention relates to a method of using CD47modulating compounds in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent to increase the efficacy of that agent against inhibiting tumor growth. The invention also relates to methods for preventing damage to heart tissue associated with the use of anthracycline chemotherapy. The current invention builds on the NIH’s previous discoveries of antibodies, antisense morpholino oligonucleotides, and peptide compounds that modulate CD47. Potential Commercial Applications: Combination Chemotherapy Competitive Advantages: • Enhance effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents. • Limit off target effects on normal tissue. • Reduces cytotoxicity of normal cells. • Provides cardioprotection for anthracyclines. Development Stage: • Early-stage. • Pre-clinical. • In vitro data available. • In vivo data available (animal). Inventors: David D. Roberts and David R. Soto Pantoja (NCI).
