- This federal Project Grant award of $630,781, provided by the National Cancer Institute under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395), aims to develop an innovative mRNA lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine platform for cancer immunotherapy. The key objectives are to: 1) Engineer mRNA LNP formulations capable of eliciting dual or biased Th1 and/or Th2 immune responses through a machine learning-aided screening process, 2) Develop mRNA LNP-loaded microgels as an in vivo...
- This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) is focused on the development of a novel injectable, imageable, and biocompatible hydrogel called XCSGel for the localized delivery of interleukin-12 (IL-12) immunotherapy to treat triple-negative breast cancer. The $398,039 award, effective September 18, 2025 through August 31, 2026, is being provided to Intra Therapeutics, LLC (UEI: WXS7GG74E6C9) to optimize the XCSGel-IL12 formulation prior...
- The National Cancer Institute, under the Cancer Treatment Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.395), awarded a $400,000 project grant to Nuago Therapeutics Inc. on June 9, 2025. The grant supports the development of a short RNA therapeutic to treat ovarian cancer. This research aims to develop a novel, targeted cancer therapy that can potentially overcome limitations of existing cancer treatments. The award has a projected completion date of May 31, 2026 and will be conducted at the company's...
- This $379,981 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) aims to develop a localized cancer immunotherapy using particle-anchored cytokines for prolonged intratumoral retention. The primary objectives are to: (I) develop liposome-anchored cytokines with extended tumor retention and minimal systemic leakage, and (II) elucidate the mechanisms by which particle-anchored cytokines elicit durable anti-tumor immunity to improve efficacy in poorly...
- The National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) awarded a $1,233,778 Project Grant to Matrisome Bio, Inc. to develop an extracellular matrix-targeted theranostic radiopharmaceutical for treating metastatic lung cancer. The funding will support research and development efforts to create molecularly targeted drugs using nanobodies that specifically bind to disease-associated extracellular matrix proteins in lung tumors and metastases. This novel approach aims to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $545,078, funded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research), is supporting research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the use of radiopharmaceutical therapy in combination with inhibition of glutamine metabolism as a novel therapeutic strategy for prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma. The project aims to systematically evaluate the effect of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-based radiopharmaceutical...
- This Project Grant, awarded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research), provides $627,148.00 to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop an injectable, low-cost ablative therapy based on ethyl cellulose-ethanol gel for treating cervical dysplasia. The goal is to create an alternative to current costly and technically complex cervical cancer prevention solutions that are not practical for use in medically underserved regions. The project...
