    The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to the 
Government of the United States of America. The prospective patent 
license will be granted worldwide and limited to the extent that the 
above referenced patents or patent applications cover lutetium-177 
radiotherapeutics for somatostatin-receptor expressing neuroendocrine 
tumors.
    The invention pertains to a radiotherapeutic against neuroendocrine 
tumors that express somatostatin receptor. Radionuclide therapies 
directed against tumors that express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) 
have proven effective for the treatment of advanced, low- to

covered by the subject patent estate includes a somatostatin (SST) 
peptide derivative like octreotate (TATE), conjugated to an Evans Blue 
(EB) analog, and further chelated via DOTA to therapeutic radionuclide. 
The EB analog reversibly binds to circulating serum albumin and 
improves the pharmacokinetics of SST peptide derivatives and reduce 
peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy toxicity. EB analog conjugated to 
octreotate (EB-DOTATATE) has been shown by the inventors to provide 
reversible albumin binding in vivo and extended half-life in 
circulation. When EB-TATE is slowly released into the tumor 
microenvironment, tumor uptake and internalization into SSTR positive 
tumors resulted in delivery of radioactive particles and tumor cell 
killing. EB-TATE displayed significantly more favorable 
pharmacokinetics than TATE alone by achieving higher tumor to non-tumor 
penetration as evidenced by positron emission tomography.
    This notice is made in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR

bearing and may be granted unless within fifteen (15) days from the 
date of this published notice, the NHLBI 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.
