Analogs of peroxisome proliferator activiated receptor (PPAR) agonists, and methods of using the same
Novel PPARδ Agonists for Bone Growth Background Osteoporosis is a silent disease of bones that affects tens of millions of people over the age of 50 with direct medical costs of over $31 billion yearly due to injuries from falls. With the aging population of the US there is a serious need for effective treatments to combat bone...

A novel approach to the treatment of EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Background Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for ~85% of all lung cancer cases. NSCLC is slow growing and often diagnosed at later stages when it has already spread, making treatment difficult. Resistance to therapy is a major challenge in effectively treating patients with NSCLC. 10-30% of...

Advancement in Platinum Based Cancer Therapeutics
Project ID: D2013-02 Novelty: Small drug like molecules that inhibits DNA repair factors for cisplatin (and other platinum based drugs) resistance towards solid tumors, thereby increasing cisplatin cytotoxicity and efficacy. Value proposition: One of the limitations of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer is the innate/acquired drug resistance in cancer...

S100A4 Monoclonal Antibody for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use
Cancer metastasis are responsible for ~90% of cancer associated deaths. Recent studies suggest that immune cells play critical roles in promoting metastasis, especially myeloid cells from the bone marrow. UTHealth researchers, with researchers from The Methodist Hospital, observed a highly conserved expression of S100A4 in immune suppressive myeloid...

Survivin Inhibitors for Targeted Cancer Treatment
Project ID: TECH-2024-07 Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers and the second-most lethal cancer among men in the United States. While the response to standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is often dramatic, most prostate cancer patients develop resistance to ADT, leading to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)....

Monoclonal Antibodies Against PCDH7 for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. UTHealth researchers discovered that the cell surface protein Protocadherin 7 (PCDH7) is highly expressed in NSCLC and promotes lung cancer development. Inventors at UTH in collaboration with Dr. O’Donnell’s group at UTSW have discovered a panel...

Monoclonal antibodies against human endotrophin for therapeutic and diagnostic use.
Background Studies have shown that endotrophin, the carboxy-terminal cleavage product of the COL6α3 chain, has potent effects on transformed mammary ductal epithelial cells in rodents. It is abundantly expressed in adipose tissue and is a chemoattractant for macrophages, exerts effects on endothelial cells and enhances the progression through...

Monoclonal Antibodies Binding to Transferrin Receptor (TfR) for Therapeutic Protein Delivery across Blood-Brain Barrier
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits brain entry and is one of the major hurdles in developing antibody and protein-based therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. UTHealth researchers identified and engineered monoclonal antibodies binding to transferrin receptor (TfR) but not affecting transferrin (Tf) binding to TfR. An engineered monovalent...

Smart Exosomes Enable Active Pdac Targeting and Evading Mononuclear Phagocycotic System
Project ID: D2021-13 Background Patients affected by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), an aggressive type of cancer, have a 5-year survival rate of 9%, the lowest of any cancer in the US. Therapies for pancreatic cancer are largely hindered by the lack of an effective delivery system. Exosomes are emerging as promising nanocarriers for genes...

Anti-Cancer Maleimide Derivatives for Use with Immune Checkpoint Blockade
Overview We have invented a cancer treatment that consists of administering an anti-cancer maleimide derivative together with an immune checkpoint blockade. Market Opportunity Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third in incidence and second in mortality. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved the checkpoint inhibitors nivolumab...
