United States Patent Application No. 18/720,347 filed June 14, 2024, entitled ‘‘T Cell Therapy with Vaccination as a Combination Immunotherapy Against Cancer’’ [HHS Reference No. E–046–2022–0–US–02]. The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned and/or exclusively licensed to the Government of the United States of America. The prospective exclusive license territory may be ‘‘worldwide’’, and the field of use may be limited to the following: ‘‘Development, manufacture and commercialization of combination immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer in humans, comprising at least the following elements: 1. An autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) T cell product; and 2. A neoantigen cancer vaccine.’’ The E–046–2022 patent family is primarily directed to a combination immunotherapy comprising a population of antigen-specific immune cells (e.g., T cells) and a vaccine targeting the same antigen(s). In oncology, many adoptive cell therapies rely on antigen-specific T cells isolated from the patient in need of treatment. However, these cells often exist in a terminally differentiated and exhausted state and are unable to mount a robust immune response following reinfusion. Recent evidence suggests that administration of a vaccine in parallel with the T cell product can ameliorate this performance defect when the vaccine targets antigen(s) recognized by the T cells. This two-part approach may enhance treatment efficacy. It is noted that the exclusive field of use which may be granted to Iovance applies to only certain autologous T cell products and vaccination strategies and does not include, for example, any nonTIL-based applications. Accordingly, the scope of rights which may be conveyed under the proposed license E:\FR\FM\02DEN1.SGM 02DEN1
