Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This guidance refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR part 807, subpart E have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0120; and the collections of information in 21 CFR part 801 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0485. In addition, FDA concludes that the labeling statements in the guidance do not constitute a ‘‘collection of information’’ under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Rather, the labeling statements are ‘‘public disclosure of information originally supplied by the Federal government to the recipient for the purpose of disclosure to the public.’’ (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2)). V. Comments Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding this document to https://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

In the present technology, the researchers VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:41 Nov 24, 2014 Jkt 235001 at the National Cancer Institute have developed chimeric antigen receptors (or CARs), which encode an antigen binding domain specific for thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor (TSLPR) and a T-cell signaling domain. TSLPR is over-expressed on the surface of approximately 10% of adult and pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemias (BCP–ALL). Available for licensing is the abovereference CAR technology as well as methods for diagnosing and treating cancer using these CARs. Potential Commercial Applications: • Immunotherapy against cancer, especially leukemia • Immunotoxins Competitive Advantages: CAR receptors are specific for TSLPR. Development Stage: • In vitro data available • In vivo data available (animal) • Prototype Inventors: Terry Fry and Haiying Qin (NCI). Publication: Qin H, et al.
