Award Details:
The National Cancer Institute awarded Mayo Clinic Jacksonville a Project Grant totaling $620,671 under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) on June 23, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2031. This research initiative focuses on developing local delivery of chemotherapy to aggressive meningiomas using a bioresorbable implant technology. Research Scope and Deliverables:
The project addresses treatment limitations for meningiomas, tumors of the central nervous system membranes affecting over 36,000 Americans annually, with approximately 30% recurring within five years despite current standard-of-care surgical resection and radiotherapy. The research aims to develop and evaluate a localized chemotherapy delivery approach using a combination drug cocktail (docetaxel, bortezomib, and romidepsin) administered via bioresorbable implant at the tumor site. This approach circumvents systemic toxicity limitations of conventional chemotherapy by targeting residual microscopic disease left after surgery. Unlike infiltrative gliomas where tumor cells migrate away from localized treatment, meningioma cells' limited migratory capacity and low metastatic propensity make them potentially more amenable to localized chemotherapy delivery. The research integrates findings from high-throughput screening against patient-derived meningioma samples to identify the most effective drug combinations across molecular subtypes, advancing cancer treatment methodologies consistent with the program's focus on developing and clinically testing improved cancer therapy modalities.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
