A voting member may serve not more than three terms on the NACCD, and not more than two of such terms may be served consecutively. Voting members shall not be full-time or permanent part-time federal employees but shall be appointed by the Secretary as Special Government Employees (5 U.S.C. 3109). A member may serve after the expiration of his/her term until a successor has been appointed. Members whose term expires after this charter’s renewal date will have a term length contingent upon renewal of the advisory committee.

The prospective exclusive license territory may be worldwide, and the fields of use may be limited to the following: An exclusive license to: The development of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy monospecific for CD33 for the prophylaxis or treatment of CD33-expressing hematological malignancies wherein the CAR is comprised of the CD33-binding domain referenced as Hu195 or hP67.6, is delivered via lentiviral transduction, and the T cells are: 1. Derived autologously (meaning cells derived from one individual who is both the donor and the recipient) in the first-line or relapsed/refractory setting, or 2. derived allogeneically (meaning cells derived from a matched healthy donor), in the post-transplant setting. This technology discloses a CAR therapy that targets CD33 by utilizing the anti-CD33 binder known as Hu195 or hP67.6 for the treatment of hematological malignancies. CD33 is a validated immunotherapeutic target that is expressed on the surface of the vast majority of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) blasts and cells in chronic myeloid leukemia-blast crisis (CML– BC).
