Development, manufacture, and commercialization of autologous T cell therapy products, including T cells with stem-like properties, engineered via retrovirus-mediated gene transfer to express T cell receptors reactive to KitaKyushu Lung Cancer Antigen 1 (KK– LC–1), as claimed in the Licensed Patent Rights; such products to be developed for treatment of patients carrying HLA– A*01:01 histocompatibility haplotype, and diagnosed with a cancer expressing KK–LC–1 protein (‘‘KK–LC–1 Targeting TCR–T Products’’). 2. Development, manufacture, and commercialization of a combination therapy for the treatment of KK–LC–1 expressing human cancers, independent of their HLA phenotype, wherein the treatment comprises: a. Modification of the patient’s tumor using Licensee’s proprietary technology VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Oct 04, 2024 Jkt 262001 to express the HLA–A*01:01 restriction element, and b.

KK– LC–1 is expressed by various epithelial cancers including carcinomas of the bladder, cervix, stomach, breast, lung, and pancreas. Due to its minimal expression in normal tissues, this antigen may be targeted on KK–LC–1expressing tumors with minimal normal tissue toxicity.
