Licensor also grants to Licensee, its Affiliates and sublicensees immunity from suit from Licensor and its Affiliates under any Patent owned or controlled by Licensor or its Affiliates on the Effective Date, and any other Patent that claims priority from or the benefit of the filing date of any of the foregoing Patents, with respect to making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing of Licensed Product in a formulation in existence as of the Effective Date.
Compound means the compound known as Licensors 31 7453, 270431 and/or 27 4006, or any compound that is a salt, ester or polymorph of 31 7153, 27 0431 and/or 27 4006.
MKC-1, is an orally-active, novel, small molecule, cell cycle inhibitor with a unique mechanism of action. Specifically, MKC-1 arrests cellular mitosis by inhibiting a novel intracellular target important in cellular trafficking that has been shown to be involved in cell division. MKC-1 will begin Phase 2 studies in metastatic breast cancer in early 2006. A second Phase 2 trial with MKC-1 in non-small cell lung cancer is anticipated in the second half of 2006.
IPSCIO Record ID: 356954
an exclusive license, sublicenseable, under the Licensor know-how, solely after the end of the Restriction Period, to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, and import Compounds in the Field in the Territory.
For the Research License, Licensor grants a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable except to Third Party contractors and service providers performing for the benefit of Licensee, license under the Licensor Technology and Licensee Technology to make, import, and use but not to sell or offer for sale Compounds for internal research purposes only.
Licensor grants an option to obtain an exclusive, sublicense from Licensor to certain Patent Rights licensed to Licensor under the Georgia Regents Research Institute License Agreement or Lankcnau Institute for Medical Research License Agreements, to research, develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import Compounds and Licensed Products in the Field in certain countries in the Territory.
Licensed Compound means NLG919 or any Next Generation Compound.
NLG919 means Licensor’s proprietary small molecule IDO inhibitor known as of the Execution Date as NLG919, as further described in IND 119045 or any enantiomer, polymorph, salt form, base, acid, racemate, isomer, diastereomer, tautomer, solvate, hydrate, ester or Known Prodrug thereof.
Compound means a compound with a molecular weight of two thousand (2,000) Daltons or less], that hinds to and inhibits the activity of one or both of the 100 Target and TDO Target. with an IC50 of 1 µMor less in the applicable Enzymatic Assay, and that is being researched, developed or commercialized to exert its influence through the inhibition of one or both of the IDO Target or TDO Target, including NLG919, but excluding Indoximod.
Enzymatic Assay means, with respect to the IDO Target, the assay described in IND 119045 Document PD0l-MRMP01 1-SP04-E248, and, with respect to the TDO Target. Enzymatic Assay shall also include an alternate means of detecting the products of the enzyme reactions or minor changes in the above enzyme assay protocols, as agreed upon by the JRC. Any IC50s of control compounds measured with an alternate assay format should fall within 3-fold of the assay method.
Indoximod means Licensor’s proprietary small molecule IDO pathway inhibitor known as of the Execution Date as indoximod, or 1-methyl-D-tryptophan, or any, enantiomer, polymorph, salt form, base, acid, racemate, isomer, diastereomer, tautomer, solvate, hydrate, ester or Known Prodrug thereof.
IDO pathway inhibitors are another class of immune check point inhibitors akin to the recently developed antibodies targeting CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 that represent potential breakthrough approaches to cancer therapy. The IDO pathway regulates immune response by suppressing T-cell activation which enables local tumor immune escape. Recent studies have demonstrated that the IDO pathway is active in many cancers, both within tumor cells as a direct defense against T-cell attack, and also within antigen presenting cells in tumor draining lymph nodes whereby this pathway promotes peripheral tolerance to tumor associated antigens (TAAs). When hijacked by developing cancers in this manner, the IDO pathway may facilitate the survival, growth, invasion and metastasis of malignant cells whose expression of TAAs might otherwise be recognized and attacked by the immune system. NewLink has a number of active programs directed at synthesizing inhibitors to the IDO pathway and additionally has discovered novel tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) specific inhibitors that are potential anti-cancer compounds which could function individually or in combination with IDO inhibition.
Indication means any separately defined. well-categorized class of human disease, syndrome or medical condition for which a separate MAA may be filed with a Regulatory Authority. Each different tumor type or a different hematological malignancy as classified by cell lineage (e.g., acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a different Indication from chronic myclogenous leukemia) shall be a separate Indication; however each different line of therapy for a particular tumor type or hematological malignancy will not he considered a separate Indication.
IPSCIO Record ID: 299281
University also grants the right to enter into sublicensing agreements under the Patent Rights.
Epothilones inhibit cell division with a mechanism of action similar to taxanes, one of the most successful classes of anti-tumor agents.
KOS-1584 is our epothilone anticancer clinical candidate that is being evaluated in dose-escalating Phase 1 clinical trials in patients with solid tumors.
IPSCIO Record ID: 237253
Licensor grants an exclusive worldwide license under the Licensor Technology, with no right to sublicense, to the extent useful to permit Licensee to use Biomarkers to monitor the effectiveness of the Compound in the Field, including in human subjects, solely in connection with research and/or development of Drug Products. Licensor agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith with Licensee to reach agreement on a license to diagnostic products incorporating such Biomarkers for use solely in connection with the administration of the Drug Product in the Field. Licensor reserves all rights to Biomarkers and the use thereof for all purposes outside the Field.
This agreement also includes a non-exclusive grant back to Licensor.
The Compound shall mean VX-944 and and any of its hydrates, salts, stereoisomers, polymorphs, prodrugs or metabolites.
IMPDH shall mean Inosine 5 -monophosphate dehydrogenase.
Drug Product shall mean any pharmaceutical preparation in finished dosage form containing the Compound for administration to human patients for any and all uses in the Field.
VX-944 is a small molecule, selective, uncompetitive novel inhibitor directed against human IMPDH enzyme. IMPDH inhibitors have been demonstrated to induce growth arrest, and extensively investigated as immunosuppressants. Here we show that VX-944 inhibits growth of human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, including those resistant to conventional agents, via induction of apoptosis and S phase arrest in vitro.
