SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology description follows: SUMMARY: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Human Monoclonal Antibodies That Target Plasmodium Falciparum Sporozoites Description of Technology Malaria is one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, causing an estimated 249 million cases and 608,000 deaths annually, with children in the regions of Africa and South Asia being most vulnerable. Approx 2,000 cases of malaria are reported in the United States each year, by travelers from malaria-risk countries. Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease transmitted through the bite of infected female mosquitoes, which introduces Plasmodium sporozoites into the bloodstream of the human host. There are five Plasmodium parasite species that cause malaria in humans, of which, the vast majority of life-threatening cases are caused by infection with Plasmodium falciparum parasites. Researchers at NIAID have developed 11 human monoclonal antibodies that bind to a unique site on the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) on Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites that is not targeted by any known monoclonal antibodies. These VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:09 Apr 15, 2024 Jkt 262001 antibodies do not bind to recombinant forms of CSP and as such bind to a processed or post-translational form of the protein processed by the sporozoites. In vivo studies have shown several of these antibodies can substantially reduce liver parasite burden in a mouse model of malaria. These antibodies can work cooperatively with known antibodies that target the repeat region of CSP. Some of these novel antibodies have shown enhanced protection in an animal model when combined with known protective monoclonal antibodies against sporozoites, suggesting that together they may form an effective cocktail to prevent malaria. This technology is available for licensing for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404, as well as for further development and evaluation under a research collaboration. Potential Commercial Applications • Prophylactic and preventative treatment against malaria. Competitive Advantages • These antibodies bind to a unique site on the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) on Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites that is distinct from the targets of pre-existing mAbs. • These monoclonal antibodies can be used alone or in combination with existing antibodies. Development Stage • Pre-Clinical Inventors: Joshua Tan, Ph.D., Cherrelle Dacon, Ph.D., both of NIAID. Publications: n/a. Intellectual Property: HHS Reference No. E–212–2022–0.

Collaborative Research Opportunity: The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in collaborative research to further develop, evaluate, or commercialize this technology. Areas of specific interest include (a) testing developability of these antibodies (e.g., biophysical characteristics, crossreactivity, pharmacokinetics, toxicity), (b) pre-clinical model assessment, and (c) human clinical trials.
