The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to the United States of America and Thomas Jefferson University. Only written comments and/or application for a license which are received by the NIH Office of Technology Transfer on or before April 30, 2014 will be considered. DATES: Requests for a copy of the patent application, inquiries, comments and other materials relating to the contemplated license should be directed to: Peter Soukas, Office of Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, MD 20852–3804; Email: ps193c@nih.gov; Telephone: (301) 435– 4646; Facsimile: (301) 402–0220. ADDRESSES: No vaccine candidates against Ebola virus (EBOV) or Marburg virus (MARV) are nearing licensure, and the need to develop a safe and efficacious vaccine against filoviruses continues. Whereas several preclinical and clinical vaccine candidates against EBOV or MARV exist (please see below for further elaboration), their further development is a major challenge based on safety concerns, pre-existing vector immunity, issues such as manufacturing, dosage, and marketability, and funding for development. The inventors have developed a new platform based on live or chemically inactivated (killed) rabies virus (RABV) virions containing EBOV glycoprotein (GP) in their envelope. In preclinical trials, immunization with such recombinant RABV virions provided excellent protection in mice against lethal challenge with the mouse adapted EBOV and RABV. More specifically, the inventors have developed a trivalent filovirus vaccine based on killed rabies virus virions for use in humans to confer protection from all medically relevant filoviruses and RABV. Two additional vectors containing EBOV Sudan GP or MARV GP are planned to be constructed in addition to the previously developed EBOV Zaire GP containing vaccine. Live attenuated vaccines have been developed for use in at risk nonhuman primate populations in Africa and tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:10 Mar 28, 2014 Jkt 232001 inactivated vaccines have been developed for use in humans. 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. The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless, within thirty (30) 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. The fields of use may be limited to (1) inactivated vaccines against rabies virus and filoviruses for use in humans and (2) live attenuated vaccines against rabies virus and filoviruses for use in non-human animals. Properly filed competing applications for a license filed in response to this notice will be treated as objections to the contemplated license. Comments and objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made available for public inspection, and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.
