20192019C-020-2019-0MInvestigation of cancer progression in tumor-associated immune cell populationsActiveJan 11, 201902019NIEHSMerck Sharp & Dohme Corp.A growing body of evidence supports the idea that endocrine disrupting chemical exposure during development can increase female reproductive cancer risk later in life. There remains a critical need for mechanistic information and biomarkers that will enable identification of susceptible populations and support the development of appropriate diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutics. Furthermore, there is widespread interest in the immune system component of the tumor microenvironment and its role in cancer progression. Blocking immunosuppressive mechanisms to stimulate a pro-inflammatory tumor icroenvironment is being investigated as an additional cancer therapy that would support adjuvant chemotherapy. One particular mechanism is PD-1-PD-Ll/2 blockade, which functions to activate T-cells, increase tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and promote tumor cell destruction. The overarching goal of this Research Plan is to characterize the tumor-associated immune cell population in endometrial cancer lesions induced by early-life exposure to the potent synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) and determine if treatment with the Collaborator Research Material alters cancer progression.

20192019C-032-2019-0STherapeutic Applications of HDL-Mimetics in Sickle Cell Disease for Modulating Red Blood Cell Membrane CholesterolActiveMay 1, 201902019NHLBIHartis-Pharma SarlUnder a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), Hartis Pharmaceuticals, S.A. (Collaborator) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (IC) are collaborating to develop a High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)-mimetic drug therapy for modulating cholesterol content of red blood cells (RBCs). The level of HDL in plasma is inversely related to the incidence of cardiovascular disease. This has been attributed to the ability of HDL to promote the removal of excess cholesterol from cells, such as macrophages in atherosclerotic plaque, but HDL also removes cholesterol from other cells like RBCs. The cholesterol content of RBCs, which has also been shown to be positively related to the incidence of CVD, is in rapid equilibrium with cholesterol on HDL and accounts for the abnormal RBC shapes commonly observed in patients with dyslipidemia. Increased cholesterol on RBCs is known to adversely alter RBC function, such as gas exchange, and also its physical properties, such as deformability and aggregability. Collaborator has shown that treatment of RBCs with HDL and selected HDL peptidomimetics rapidly removes cholesterol and improves RBC rigidity making them more permeable and amenable to gas exchange. The main goal of the CRADA is to investigate the effect of the HDL-mimetic developed by the IC, namely the 5A peptide complexed with sphingomyelin (Fx-5A), and other novel HDL-mimetics on modulating the cholesterol content of RBCs and its functional and physical properties. If successful, results from this CRADA may lead to a clinical trial on the use of HDL-mimetic therapy for the treatment of sickle cell disease and other diseases affected by the cholesterol content of RBCs.

20190C-035-2019-0SNon-human primate studies to test the safety and efficacy of lentiviral vectors and genome editing to induced fetal hemoglobin HbF for treating hemoglobinopathiesPending-IC Execution00/00/0002019NHLBISt. Jude Children's Research HospitalInvestigators at St. Jude are developing gene therapy methods to induce fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression in human erythroid cells for treating hemoglobinopathies including sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia. These methods include: 1) lentiviral vectors encoding shRNA that efficiently reduces mRNA encoding BCLl lA, a repressor of fetal hemoglobin synthesis 2) genome editing approaches that modify the extended human beta globin locus to induce HbF. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of these approaches in vivo, we will perform autologous gene therapy on rhesus macague primates in collaboration with Dr. Tisdale at the NHLBI. Unlike murine or other lower vertebrate strains, rhesus macaque monkeys recapitulate the switch from fetal to adult Hb that occurs at birth. Moreover, these animals survive for more than 5 years post gene therapy, which allows us to test the long term effects of the procedure, including the potential to develop leukemia. Thus, these animals most closely approximate human patients for evaluating the safety and efficacy of our gene therapy approaches.

20192019C-046-2019-0MUse of METAFORA Biosystems’ proprietary receptor binding domain (RBD) ligands to study the cellular location and function of amino acid and glucose transporters in CD4+ and CD8+ T cell biologyActiveMay 14, 201902019NHLBIMETAFORA BiosystemsComplement is engrained in the immunologist’s mind as a quintessential part of innate immunity, vitally required for the detection and removal of invading pathogens. This current understanding of the complement system is rooted in the prevailing perception that complement operates mostly as a serum effector system. Recent work challenges this view: Complement activation is not - as always thought - confined to the extracellular space but can be activated intracellularly where it mediates specific intracellular signaling events connected with the cell’s nutrient and metabolism sensing machinery. Importantly, this serum-independent, but intracellular and autocrine functioning complement system - which Dr. Kemper’s group has coined ‘complosome’ - is an integral and critical part of human CD4+ T helper cell 1 (Th1) induction and contraction and CD8+ cytotoxic T cell activity. In consequence, reduction of complosome activity is connected with recurrent infections, and augmentation of complosome activity contributes to autoimmune disease. Under a Materials Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (M-CRADA), METAFORA Biosystems’ proprietary receptor binding domain (RBD) ligands will be used by Dr. Kemper’s laboratory to better define the exact cellular location and function of key amino acid and glucose transporters during human CD4+ T cell/Th1 induction and contraction.

20192019C-057-2019-0SIND Enabling of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-PSMA Radionuclide Treatment for Metastatic Prostate CancerActiveJun 11, 201902019NIBIBSinotau Pharmaceutical GroupUnder a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), Sinotau Pharmaceutical Group (Sinotau) and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) are collaborating to enable the Investigational New Drug (IND Enabling) of EB-PSMA as clinical diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclide labeled agents. EB-PSMA is invented recently by NIH researchers and licensed to Sinotau Pharmaceutical Group (Sinotau) as the candidate for global development and commercialization to treat patients with prostate specific membrane antigen(PSMA) expressing metastases. Preliminary results in mouse xenograft models and an investigator sponsored clinical study show that, the incorporation of an Evans Blue (EB)-motif into the PSMA ligand, when radiolabeled with 177Lu or 90Y, endows the traditional PSMA ligands new features of longer in vivo retention and higher lesion accumulation to deliver enhanced radiation exposure to the prostate cancer metastases. These findings warrant formal clinical studies, and the collaboration between the inventors’ institution and Sinotau will combine our strengths to enable the IND filing. The scope of this CRADA consists of a systematic pharmacology and toxicity study under the regulations of good laboratory practice (GLP), along with CMC (chemistry, GMP manufacturing and control). A Phase 1 clinical protocol will also be included in the IND filingdossier with at least one (1) clinical site identified. Sinotau is to use its long-time experience and workforce in organizing and in promoting the research practicing systems to meet the standards of the GLP (or GLP-like) pharmacology and toxicology tests along with GMP (or GMP-like) manufacturing of drug substance. The NIBIB and its inventers/scientists will provide expertise and capability in radiochemistry optimization and in pre-clinical disease models, while obtaining experience in advancing a pre-clinical candidate into clinic towards commercialization that can benefit more patients in need. In addition to providing their scientific and operational input, the collaborator Sinotau will also provide due payments to cover the occurred expenses in contracted staffing, materials and contracted services.

20190C-064-2019-0MEvaluation of Merck's potential inhibitors of BAM complex by NIH/NIDDK by using an in vitro outer membrane protein assembly assayPending-IC Execution00/00/0002019NIDDKMerck Sharp & Dohme CorpChemical compounds isolated by scientists at Merck Sharpe and Dohme, Corp. will be tested for their ability to inhibit the activity of a bacterial protein complex called the barrel assembly machinery (Bam) complex. Because the Bam complex is essential for the survival of Gram-negative bacteria (a group that includes many multi-drug resistant “superbugs”), compounds that inhibit its activity may represent a novel class of antibiotics. Dr. Bernstein and his colleagues at NIDDK/NIH will use an in vitro assay that they developed a few years ago to determine if the compounds inhibit the ability of the purified Bam complex to catalyze the assembly of outer membrane proteins. Each compound will be titrated to obtain a quantitative assessment of its potency. If any of the compounds exhibit significant inhibitory activity, additional studies with modified versions of the Bam complex will be performed to identify the subunit that it targets. Biophysical assays will be performed to obtain direct evidence that compounds of interest bind to specific subunits of the Bam complex.

20190C-065-2019-0SAnti-Fibrotic Activity of Novel Hybrid CB1 Receptor Antagonist/AMP Kinase Activator Compounds in Bleomycin-Induced Lung Fibrosis in MicePending-IC Execution00/00/0002019NIAAAInversago Pharma Inc.This CRADA plan aims to explore the therapeutic potential of novel, dual target compounds in mouse models of obesity-related liver fibrosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), diseases that currently lack efficacious treatment. In complex diseases including fibrotic disorders, simultaneous targeting of multiple cellular pathways is thought to improve therapeutic efficacy. There is evidence that increased activity of the endocannabinoid (EC)/CB1 receptor (CB1R) system and decreased activity of the enzyme AMP kinase (AMPK) are pathogenic factors in various fibrotic disorders. The IC has developed novel, CB1R inverse agonists/AMPK activator compounds that are devoid of CNS side effects due to their limited brain penetrance. The IC proposes to test the antifibrotic efficacy of the two lead compounds compared to the therapeutic efficacy of a single-target CB1R inverse agonist in a mouse model of obesity-related steatohepatitis/liver fibrosis and a bleomycin-induced model of IPF. These studies build upon the hypothesis that simultaneous targeting of CB1R and AMPK will result in improved anti-fibrotic efficacy compared to engaging only one of these targets. The proposed study will also explore a novel, intratracheal inhalational drug delivery system in the IPF model as a way to improve target cell engagement while reducing the exposure of off-target tissues. In case of favorable outcomes, the Collaborator is committed to further develop the successful compound for clinical testing by developing an effective oral formulation and conducting IND-enabling ADMET studies.

20182018C-036-2018-0SDevelopment and Validation of P2Y14 antagonists to treat inflammationActiveMar 5, 201802018NIDDKKantum Diagnostics, Inc.The Breton laboratory at MGH/Partners has discovered that activation of the P2Y14 receptor, present in renal collecting duct intercalated cells (ICs), induces the recruitment of pro-inflammatory immune cells into the kidney 1. Kantum has signed a licensing agreement with Partners Healthcare on the use of P2Y14 antagonists to treat renal inflammation. Following a trauma (e.g. cardiac surgery, sepsis, myocardial infarction), the molecule UDP-glucose (UDP-G) is released from injured cells into systemic circulation where it is then filtered and concentrated in the kidneys. Urinary UDP-G, a P2Y14 receptor agonist, binds the receptor on the luminal surface of ICs to up-regulate the production and secretion of chemokines that attract pro-inflammatory immune cells, primarily neutrophils and monocytes 1. This infiltration of immune cells into the kidneys creates an intense inflammation reaction that causes renal injury 2-4. The P2Y14 receptor is expressed in several tissues and cells, including human neutrophils and lung, and UDP-G promotes P2Y14 receptor-mediated neutrophil motility 5-7. In addition, P2Y14 receptor antagonists reduce lung inflammation 6,8. Therefore, while the current agreement is directly related to renal inflammation, there is potential for extending the use of P2Y14 antagonists for the treatment of inflammation in other conditions, including sepsis and lung inflammation.

NHLBI will conduct a clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Novartis’s eltrombopag in patients diagnosed with a bone marrow failure due to Fanconi anemia (FA). FA is a rare genetic disease that often presents as a bone marrow failure syndrome (BMFS) but also can affect any other organ. Therapy using male hormones (androgens) may temporarily improve the blood production in FA patients but is associated with substantial side effects that often leads to termination of the therapy. Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation outcomes have significantly improved over the past two decades, donor availability, graft failure, and FA-specific transplant toxicities are still significant hurdles towards a curative treatment for all FA-associated BMFS. Moreover, attempts at genetic correction of FA are not yet ready for patient care. Recent clinical studies by NHLBI had shown that the thrombopoietin (TPO) mimetic eltrombopag is effective in restoring tri-lineage hematopoiesis in patients with treatment refractory acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Of interest for patients with FA is the observation that eltrombopag also improves the repair of double strand DNA breaks, a mechanism that is impaired in patients with FA. Additionally, NHLBI’s pre-clinical studies indicate that eltrombopag evades INF-γ blockade of signal transduction from the TPO receptor (c-MPL) resulting in improved survival and proliferation of HSCs. Based on these clinical and pre-clinical studies, we designed a clinical trial investigating the potential positive effect of eltrombopag for morbidity and mortality in FA patients. The goal of the collaboration is to develop a more effective treatment for FA associated BMFS and thus to improve the long-term outcome for patients with FA.

Antibodies that bind to the HA stem have greater breadth to bind multiple different influenza virus strains, but because the HA head is immunodominant, stem-directed antibodies are much less abundant than strain-specific HA head antibodies after influenza infection or immunization in humans. Recently, stem-directed broadly-neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) have been identified in human sera. Work performed by VRC scientists using HA strain-specific B cell probes to perform single cell sorting on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and then carry out RT-PCR and sequence paired heavy and light chain variable regions from HA-specific B cells has revealed the presence of memory B cells expressing such stem-directed B cell receptors. Several multi-donor classes of B cell variable heavy and light chain alleles have been identified that are associated with production of these stem-directed antibody responses. These variable heavy chain (Vh) genes are not found in standard animal models of influenza (mice, ferrets, non-human primates). In research conducted by NIAID and Kymab Ltd under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), scientists will immunize the Kymouse (as performed at Kymab Ltd, Cambridge, UK), which expresses an antibody repertoire generated from human antibody heavy and light chain variable gene segments, to assess the potency and breadth of immunogenicity induced by influenza immunogens, including inactivated vaccines and VRC-produced hemagglutinin stem-only immunogens.

Correcting for these mutations in the relevant genes therefore provides a means for clinically managing disease and potentially developing 'cures'. Maxcyte, Inc. and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have entered into a Cooperative Research and development Agreement (CRADA). The objective of the CRADA is to develop a clinical-scale, regulatory and cGMP compliant, ex vivo cell engineering process to safely and precisely correct mutations in functionally relevant genes in patient derived CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and to evaluate the gene-corrected HSC as cell therapy product for treatment of hereditary diseases. The hypothesis will be tested using Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) as a model of hereditary disease. CGD is a group of hereditary diseases in which phagocytes do not produce reactive oxygen compounds (most importantly, the superoxide radical) used to kill certain pathogens. CGD affects about 1 in 200,000 people in the United States, with about 20 new cases diagnosed each year. Management of CGD involves early diagnosis, patient education and antibiotics for prophylaxis and treatment of infections. The morbidity of recurrent infections and inflammation is a major issue, with rates of infection around 0.3 per year. There are multiple known gene mutations that have been validated to correlate with lack of oxidase function leading to disease status. Replacing these defective genes therefore provides a means for clinically managing disease and potentially developing 'cures'. This has been validated clinically, as HSC transplantation from a matched donor is curative, but HSC transplantation has significant associated risks (graft rejection, graft-versus-host disease, potential need for long-term immunosuppression, chemo-therapy related toxicities, safety concerns with mobilization and harvest of HSC from normal healthy volunteer matched donor) and is limited by availability of matched donors.

20182018C-053-2018-0MConjugation of Apolipoprotein Mimetic Peptides to AlbuminNon-ActiveMay 8, 201802018NHLBIAlbumedix LtdAmong the key features that make albumin-like antibodies effective therapeutic agents is their long half-life, which has been determined to be the result of their binding to neonatal-Fc receptors and endosomal recycling. In contrast, small synthetic peptides have limited utility as therapeutic agents, as they usually have limited potency and efficacy, and their small size and lack of significant secondary structure make them labile to proteases, and subsequent rapid renal clearance. NHLBI and Collaborator propose to investigate a putative strategy for making small synthetic peptides a viable alternative to albumin-like antibodies, by covalently or non-covalently attaching these peptides to modified albumin species, which may increase their effectiveness as therapeutic agents.

20182018C-059-2018-0SThe use of Kymab Ltd's Proprietary platform technology for Immunizations to elicit fusion peptide-directed HIV-1 Tier-2 neutralizing antibodiesActiveMay 31, 201802018NIAIDKymab LtdA central goal of HIV-1-vaccine development is to elicit antibodies capable of neutra1izing diverse tier-2 strains of HIV-1 through vaccination. The envelope (Env) glycoprotein of HIV-1 is the only viral component exposed on the viral surface, and thus the only viral target of neutralizing antibodies. The IC (Kwong laboratory) recently identified a naturally occurring antibody, VRC34 (Kong et al. Science 2016), which targeted the N-terminal 8 residues of the fusion peptide, an essential component of the HIV-I entry machinery. When conjugated to various carrier proteins, including keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), the N-terminal residues of the fusion peptide can elicit antibodies capable of neutralizing select tier-2 isolates from diverse HIV-I clades. An optimized immunization schedule in wild type mice elicited murine serum responses capable of neutralizing an estimated 30% of tier-2 HIV-I strains from clades A, B and C. This research conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Kymab Limited under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) will use the optimized immunization schedule in the Kymouse (as performed at Kymab Ltd, Cambridge, UK) to see if similar antibodies can be elicited with human germline genes.

20182018C-066-2018-0SManipulating ghrelin signaling via GOAT inhibition in alcohol use disorderActiveJun 12, 201802018NIAAAGLWL Research, Inc.Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid stomach-derived peptide which has been implicated in a myriad ofmetabolic, cognitive and behavioral physiological and pathological processes. In its acylatedform (acyl-ghrelin), this hormone is implicated in regulating appetite, meal initiation, food intake and food reward. Ghrelin activity is dependent on the enzyme ghrelin-0-acyltransferase (GOAT) which is capable of the acylation of ghrelin. Growing research in rodents and humans suggest that ghrelin may play a role in the mechanisms that regulate alcohol-seeking behaviors. Therefore, pharmacological manipulations of the ghrelin system may represent innovative approaches towards the development of new treatments for alcohol use disorder. The goal of this CRADA is to conduct an initial proof-of-concept double-blind placebo-controlled human laboratory study to test the effects of GOAT inhibition in individuals with alcohol use disorder.

20182018C-068-2018-0SImaging biomarkers in a 3D-printed skin carcinoma Platform for drug discoveryActiveAug 16, 201802018NCATSThe Rockefeller UniversityMore than 90% of the drugs that enter clinical evaluation fail to reach approval because of lack of efficacy or unexpected toxicity. This failure rate in is large part due to the use of overly simplistic in vitro cell-based assays and animal models with limited predictive value. As knowledge of cellular processes in humans and research technologies have improved, it has become more apparent that the complexity of the cellular pathways, disease relevant cellular backgrounds, cell-cell interactions, and cellular- microenvironment interactions in the tissues are critical for the understanding of drug efficacy and toxicity in humans, and are considerations that need to be integrated into the future drug discovery in vitro cell-based assays. If accurate tissue constructs could be made inexpensively, drug development and discovery could be much easier since they could be more standardized, less costly, and more ethical than the animal models that they would reduce or replace. A challenge to the development of tissue constructs is the lack of an effective noninvasive assay that is capable to monitor cellular anatomy and physiology. Developing such a diagnostic technology would offer an advantage similar to that of machine vision in assembly line production. Quality control in development of tissue constructs to mimic biology is currently achieved through invasive histology, so automated 3D analysis based on noninvasive confocal imaging could not only improve drug efficacy testing but also improve the ability to construct anatomically and physiologically realistic tissue constructs. The Scope of this CRADA is to develop a non-destructive, high throughput cytometry assay platform for drug discovery using trimodal confocal images of novel, 3D printed skin carcinoma construct.

Ruxolitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits Janus associated kinases (JAK) 1 and 2. JAK2 V617F mutation or the PCMJJAK2 translocation have been described in a small subset of patients with HES. NIAID has previously identified JAK l or 2 mutations in 7 subjects on a natural history protocol. Recent findings suggest that ruxolitinib might be effective in a subset of patients with myeloid and/or lymphocytic variant HES. The goal of this CRADA is to determine the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibition in reducing eosinophilia in patients with myeloid and/or steroid-refractory hypereosinophilic syndrome. The scope of this CRADA, is the clinical trial conducted by Dr. Klion and members of Dr. Klion' s team, and is strictly limited to the investigation of hypereosinophilic syndromes using Incyte's proprietary drug, ruxolitinib.
