SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This invention concerns a monoclonal antibody and methods of using the antibody for the treatment of mesothelin-expressing cancers, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer. The specific antibody covered by this technology is designated SD1, which is a single domain, fully human monoclonal antibody against mesothelin. Mesothelin is a cell surface antigen that is preferentially expressed on certain types of cancer cells. The SD1 antibody can selectively bind to these cancer cells and induce cell death while leaving healthy, essential cells unharmed. This can result in an effective therapeutic strategy with fewer side effects due to less non-specific killing of cells.

The data collected through the multi-site evaluation addresses three study components: (1) The planning, collaboration, and partnership study; (2) the implementation study; and (3) the workforce study. The SS/HS state program funded grantees in seven states beginning in September 2013. Data will be collected from state/tribal administrators, Local Education Authorities (LEAs)/Districts, local program staff (e.g., school resource officers, teachers and administrators, and psychologists) and program partners (e.g., parents, representatives from the juvenile justice and mental health providers). Data collection activities will include key informant interviews, and webbased surveys. The instruments to be used for data collection are as follows: Planning, Collaboration and Partnership Study • State Key Informant Interview Protocol. • District Key Informant Interview Protocol. • State Collaborator Survey. • District Collaborator Survey. • State Collaboration Indicator Data Instrument. • District Collaboration Indicator Data Instrument. Implementation Study • State & District Key Informant Interview Protocol. • School-Level Survey. Workforce Study • No additional instruments will be used for this study. Data will be gathered from the Planning, Collaboration and Partnership Study and the Implementation Study. A summary table of the number of respondents and respondent burden has also been included. Data Collection Activities for MSE Grantees Data for all instruments will be collected annually with the exception of data for the state and District E:\FR\FM\18JYN1.SGM 18JYN1
