The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $619,294 Project Grant under CFDA 93.394 "Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research" to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop slow-release CPMV (Cowpea Mosaic Virus)-polymer blend formulations for intratumoral immunotherapy delivery. The project aims to formulate CPMV-laden slow-release devices, establish and tune the release rates, confirm the structural integrity and biological activity of the released CPMV, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) provides $546,625.00 to the University of Pittsburgh to develop a novel nanocarrier-based immunochemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing and characterizing a nanoparticle carrier capable of co-delivering small interfering RNA targeting the IRHOM1 protein and a prodrug conjugate of...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding of $138,742, was provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Research Manpower (CFDA 93.398) federal grant program. The primary awardee, The Johns Hopkins University, will utilize single-cell RNA sequencing data to develop statistical methods for identifying cellular interactions that are altered by combination immunotherapy treatments in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Additionally, the award will support experiments...
This $1,130,538 Project Grant awarded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) supports research to develop a targeted therapeutic strategy against metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using a newly developed anti-Tn (AREMAB6) monoclonal antibody. The key objectives are to: 1) determine how the Tn antigen enhances PDAC progression and identify Tn-expressing glycoproteins; 2) validate the role of natural killer cells in AREMAB6-mediated...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) provides $432,889 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research aimed at advancing cancer screening, diagnostic technologies, and early detection methodologies. The project, titled "Molecular Imaging and Metabolotheranostics of PDAC-Induced Cachexia", will focus on reversing cachexia (severe muscle wasting) induced by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $222,998 Project Grant under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the period of March 10, 2025 to February 28, 2027. The grant supports research to engineer endogenous immune cells, including T cells, NK cells, and macrophages, to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) using a novel virus-like particle (VLP) vector. The goal is to enable these engineered immune cells to mediate...
This $471,675 project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) will fund research at Oregon Health & Science University to develop a nanoparticle-based blood test to distinguish pancreatic cancer from benign pancreatic disease. The researchers will use high conductance dielectrophoresis technology to simultaneously recover different types of cancer-derived...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) provides $674,275 in funding to Marker Therapeutics Inc., a small disadvantaged biotechnology company, to conduct a Phase 1 clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of their MT-601 multi-tumor associated antigen-specific T-cell therapy in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of combining MT-601 with frontline FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy,...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $602,881 Project Grant under CFDA 93.395, the Cancer Treatment Research program, to Duke University. The grant supports research to develop novel immunotherapies using engineered IgG antibodies that can penetrate tumor cells and neutralize oncogenic mutations, such as KRAS. The research aims to translate these tumor cell-penetrating antibodies into the clinic, overcoming challenges associated with the low yield and half-life of previous recombinant...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) provides $176,712 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the role of CD91-mediated signaling in cancer immunosurveillance. The research aims to develop a new mouse model to test the importance of CD91 signaling in response to tumor-derived heat shock proteins (HSPs) for priming T cell responses against nascent, emerging tumors. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms by...
