- 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...
- The federal Cooperative Agreement award for "Next Generation T Cell Therapies for Mutant KRAS Solid Tumors" was provided by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research). The $2,238,704 award supports the early-stage clinical testing of a novel T cell receptor (TCR1020) therapy targeting the KRAS G12V mutation in solid tumors. The project aims to develop genetically modified T cells to overcome resistance mechanisms and promote durable tumor regression. Key...
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a Project Grant, under CFDA 93.394 Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research, to Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) for $654,681 starting on December 1, 2024. The goal of this 5-year project is to develop innovative anticancer nanovaccines utilizing multifunctional ionizable lipid nanoparticles for the curative treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The research aims to design and evaluate these nanovaccines, assess their therapeutic...
- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.394), awarded a $399,444 Project Grant to Cancure LLC (Canzx Biotherapeutics) on August 1, 2025. The funding will support a feasibility study of a novel agent that aims to stimulate NK (natural killer) and CD8 T cells for potential use in treating solid tumors. The study seeks to address challenges with persistence and sustained function of these cell-based therapies in the solid...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded a $406,500 Project Grant to Trethera Corp under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to fund the development of a novel, targeted small molecule inhibitor called TRE-515. The goal is to establish the deoxycytidine kinase (DCK) enzyme as a targetable resistance mechanism for KRAS inhibitors in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) models. The research will evaluate the improved efficacy of KRAS inhibitors when combined with TRE-515 in KRAS-G12C...
- 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, valued at $411,152, was provided by the National Cancer Institute under the Cancer Treatment Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.395). The grant supports research at Duke University to identify and validate non-covalent interacting proteins of mutant KRAS inhibitors, which are critical for developing effective therapies for lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers driven by oncogenic KRAS mutations. The research aims to utilize mass spectrometry-based proteomics...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded a $269,280 Project Grant under the Cancer Treatment Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.395) to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a non-profit research institution. The grant supports the development of a novel targeted approach for K-RAS(G12C) mutation-driven cancers. The project aims to create prodrug molecules that can selectively degrade the K-RAS(G12C) protein and release cytotoxic polypharmaceuticals to concurrently target multiple pathways. The key...
- This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 - Cancer Research Manpower program) provides $154,642 to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York to conduct research on identifying conserved cancer-specific immunopeptide targets in metastatic colorectal cancer. The project aims to systematically elucidate the evolving immunopeptidome (peptides presented by HLA class I molecules) from patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids to reveal targetable...
- This federal Project Grant award of $589,838.00 was provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant supports research to optimize an active mutant KRAS peptide vaccine for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), which is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the U.S. The research aims to develop improved methods for cancer treatment and increase cure rates for CRC patients....
