Radiological Health’s (CDRH) Patient
Engagement Advisory Committee (the
PEAC or Committee). The Committee
provides relevant skills and
perspectives in order to improve
communication of benefits, risks and
clinical outcomes, and increase
integration of patient perspectives into
the regulatory process for medical
devices. It performs its duties by
identifying new approaches, promoting
innovation, recognizing unforeseen risks
or barriers, and identifying unintended
consequences that could result from
FDA policy.
FDA seeks to include the views of
women and men, members of all racial
and ethnic groups, and individuals with
and without disabilities on its advisory
committees and, therefore, particularly
encourages nominations of
appropriately qualified candidates from
these groups.
DATES: Nominations received by
November 21, 2016, will be given first
consideration for membership on the
Committee. Nominations received after
November 21, 2016, will be considered
for nomination to the Committee as later
vacancies occur.

I. General Description of the
Committee’s Duties
The PEAC provides relevant skills
and perspectives in order to improve
communication of benefits, risks, and
clinical outcomes and increase
integration of patient perspectives into
the regulatory process for medical
devices.
The PEAC provides advice on issues
relating to medical devices, the
regulation of devices, and their use by
patients. A variety of topics may be
considered by the PEAC, including
Agency guidance and policies, clinical
trial or registry design, patient
preference study design, benefit-risk
determinations, device labeling, unmet
clinical needs, available alternatives,
patient reported outcomes and devicerelated quality of life or health status
issues.
II. Criteria for Voting Members
The Committee consists of a core of
nine voting members including the
Chair. Members and the Chair are
selected by the Commissioner of Food
and Drugs or designee from candidates
who are knowledgeable in areas such as
clinical research, primary care patient
experience, healthcare needs of patient
groups in the United States, or are
experienced in the work of patient and
health professional organizations,
methodologies for eliciting patient
preferences, and strategies for
communicating benefits, risks, and
clinical outcomes to patients and
research participants. Prospective
members should also have an
understanding of the broad spectrum of
patients in a particular disease area.
Members will be invited to serve for
overlapping terms of up to 4 years. NonFederal members of this Committee
serve as Special Government
Employees, with the exception of the
representatives from Industry.
III. Nomination Procedures
Any interested person may nominate
one or more qualified individuals for
membership on the Committee. Selfnominations are also accepted.
Nominations should include a cover
letter; a current, complete resume or
curriculum vitae for each nominee,
including a current business and/or
home address, telephone number, and
email address if available; and should
specify the advisory committee for
which the nominee is recommended.
Nominations should also
acknowledge that the nominee is aware
of the nomination, unless selfnominated. FDA will ask potential
candidates to provide detailed

Prospective Grant of Exclusive Patent
License: Development of Anti-CD70
Chimeric Antigen Receptors for the
Treatment of CD70 Expressing
Cancers
AGENCY:
National Institutes of Health,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
The National Cancer Institute,
National Institutes of Health,
Department of Health and Human
Services, is contemplating the grant of
an Exclusive Patent License to Kite
Pharma, Inc. (‘‘Kite’’) located in Santa
Monica, CA to practice the inventions
embodied in the patent applications
listed in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of this notice.
DATES: Only written comments and/or
applications for a license which are
received by the NCI Technology
Transfer Center on or before October 20,
2016 will be considered.
ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the
patent applications, inquiries, and
comments relating to the contemplated
Exclusive Patent License should be
directed to: Andrew Burke, Ph.D.,
Licensing and Patenting Manager, NCI
Technology Transfer Center, 9609

entitled ‘‘Anti-CD70 Chimeric Antigen
Receptors’’ [HHS Reference No. E–021–
2015/0–US–01]; and PCT Application

Sfmt 4703
Antigen Receptors’’ [HHS Reference No.
E–021–2015/0–PCT–02] (and U.S. and
foreign patent applications claiming
priority to the aforementioned
applications).
The patent rights in these inventions
have been assigned to the government of
the United States of America.
The prospective Exclusive Patent
License territory may be worldwide and
the field of use may be limited to the
development, manufacture and
commercialization of retrovirallyengineered anti-CD70 chimeric antigen
receptor (CAR)-based autologous
peripheral blood T cell therapy
products, as set forth in the Licensed
Patent Rights, for the treatment of CD70
expressing cancers in humans.
The present invention describes
certain CARs targeting CD70. CARs are
hybrid proteins comprised of
extracellular antigen binding domains
and intracellular signaling domains
designed to activate the cytotoxic
functions of CAR-transduced T cells
upon antigen stimulation.
CD70 is a co-stimulatory molecule
that provides proliferative and survival
cues to competent cells upon binding to
its cognate receptor, CD27. Its
expression is primarily restricted to
activated lymphoid cells; however,
recent research has demonstrated that
several cancers, including renal cell
carcinoma, glioblastoma, non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, and chronic myelogenous
leukemia also express CD70 under
certain circumstances. Due to its limited
expression in normal tissues, CARs
targeting CD70 may be useful in
adoptive cell therapy protocols for the
treatment of select cancers.
This notice is made in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404.
The prospective Exclusive Patent
License will be royalty bearing and may
be granted unless within fifteen (15)
days from the date of this published
notice, the National Cancer Institute
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.
Complete applications for a license in
the prospective field of use that are
timely filed in response to this notice
will be treated as objections to the grant
of the contemplated Exclusive Patent
License. Comments and objections
submitted 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.
