(‘‘Dimension’’) located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA: sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: Intellectual Property United States Provisional Patent Application No. 62/096,400, filed December 23, 2014, titled ‘‘AdenoAssociated Virus Vectors Encoding G6PC and Uses Thereof’’ [HHS Reference No. E–039–2015/0–US–01]; International Patent Application No. PCT/US2015/067338 filed December 22, 2015 titled ‘‘Adeno-Associated Virus Vectors Encoding G6PC and Uses Thereof’’ [HHS Reference No. E–039– 2015/0–PCT–02]; and all continuation applications, divisional applications and foreign counterpart applications claiming priority to the U.S. provisional application No. 62/096,400. The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned and/or exclusively licensed to the Government of the United States of America. The prospective exclusive licensed territory may be worldwide and the field of use may be limited to: ‘‘Development and commercialization of gene therapy using adeno-associated viral vectors for the treatment of Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia.’’ DATES: Only written comments and/or applications for a license which are received by the NIH Office of Technology Transfer on or before June 8, 2016 will be considered. ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the patent application, inquiries, comments, and other materials relating to the contemplated exclusive license should be directed to: Surekha Vathyam, Ph.D., Senior Licensing and Patenting Manager, National Cancer Institute Technology Transfer Center, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Rm 1E–530 MSC9702, Rockville, MD 20850–9702, Email: vathyams@mail.nih.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject technology discloses novel adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors expressing human G6Pase-alpha (or G6PC) for the treatment of glycogen storage disease, particularly GSD-Ia. GSD-Ia is an inherited disorder of metabolism associated with lifethreatening hypoglycemia, hepatic malignancy, and renal failure caused by the deficiency of G6Pase-alpha, a key VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:24 May 23, 2016 Jkt 238001 enzyme in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis between meals. These new recombinant AAV vectors that express human G6Pase-alpha directed by the tissue-specific human G6PC promoter/ enhancer at nucleotides -2864 to -1 incorporate the following improvements: (1) One expresses a variant of G6Pase-alpha with enhanced enzymatic activity; (2) the other expresses a codon-optimized variant of G6Pase-alpha with higher enzyme expression levels and enhanced enzymatic activity. 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 part 404.7. The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published notice, the 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 part 404.7.
