The patent rights in these inventions have been either assigned
and/or exclusively licensed to the government of the United States of
America and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The prospective exclusive license territory may be worldwide, and
the field of use may be limited to the following:
``Use of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) inhibitors, as
claimed in the licensed patent rights, for the treatment of cancers
(such as acute myeloid leukemia, glioma, cholangiocarcinoma,
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and other solid tumors) and rare
diseases.''
The inventions relate to a series of novel compounds that potently
and selectively inhibit mIDH1. These compounds reduce 2-HG levels in
cell lines in vitro as well as in human cancer cells grown in mouse
xenografts in vivo.
These compounds show greater than 250-fold selectivity for the
mutant enzyme over the wild-type, show favorable in vitro stability (in
mouse, rat, dog and human hepatocyte exposure studies), are AMES
negative, and exhibit no significant metabolic CYP liabilities. These
compounds possess very favorable in vivo rodent pharmacokinetics and
bioavailability and are well tolerated in rodents, even when dosed at
high levels.
Thus, the compounds of the subject inventions can be used
individually or in combination to develop new therapies to treat
diseases which result from mutant IDH1 activity. The diseases caused by
mutant IDH1 activity include cancer (e.g., acute myeloid leukemia,
glioma, cholangiocarcinoma and potentially other solid tumors) and
selected rare diseases, such as Ollier Disease.
This Notice is made in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR
part 404. The prospective exclusive license will be royalty bearing,
and the prospective exclusive license may be granted unless within
fifteen (15) days from the date of this published Notice, the National
[[Page 75297]]
Center for Advancing Translational Sciences receives written evidence
and argument that establishes that the grant of the license would not
be consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part
404.
In response to this Notice, the public may file comments or
objections. Comments and objections, other than those in the form of a
license application, will not be treated confidentially and may be made
publicly available.
License applications submitted in response to this Notice will be
presumed to contain business confidential information and any release
of information from these license applications will be made only as
required and upon a request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5
U.S.C. 552.
Joni L. Rutter,
Director, Office of the Director, National Center for Advancing
Translational Sciences.
